FEWER SUICIDES IN PARIS.
Every One Anxious to See How War
VIII End, Ii is Explained.

VIII End, II Is Explained.
Paris, April S.-Suicides in Paris have
dropped to about two a week. as COM
pared with an average of fifteen to
twenty In ordinary times. ~
People who always want to know the
why and the wherefore Of everything
have endeavored to get at the reason of
this. A wag, who is perhaps net so far
of the truth as some might imagine,
suggests that every one is so anxious
to see how the war will end that they
cannot bear to shuttle OFF this mortal coil
until victory crowns the day.
1t is Just possible that suicides are
fewer now because 80 many fayorite
means of going to ones long account
are not readily available. For instance.
from the first moment that war was de.
clared all gunsmith shops were closed up
and neither arms nor munitions Of any
kind can be bought. No one Is allowed
on any OF the great public monuments. SO
that jumping on bridges or the Arc ae
Triomphe is no longer possible.

Well. Bo, IL you do not reach here
on schedule this week, will know that
you are hung up in the Chipawampsic
swamp. If you should be so fortunate
or rather unfortunate as to have this
happen, telephone to ''Bilr'' Heymei over
In Alexandria. Bill has had some ex-
perience in pulling cars out of this place
and 1 am sure that nothing would please
him more than to go down there and
give you the laugh for trying to get
through in anything but a boat. He
might help you out,
