FRENCH DEATH RATE
FAR EXCEEDS BIRTHS
Total Is 8S3, 100 in 4 Years,
Excluding War Losses.
Bp the Associated Press.

PARIS. Feb. ll.--France's civilian
population in four years has decreased
by considerably more than three-auar-
ters OF million. without including the
deaths In occupied northern France, or
the losses due directly to the war.
Official statistics show that in 1918
the births outnumbered the deaths by
1900. But this slight excess disap-
peared in the following year, since which
time the deaths have outnumbered the
births--in 1914 by more than 10000, and
In 1915, 1916 and 1917 by nearly 3oO, 600
In each year. The total excess OF deaths
over births for these four years il given
as Ss3.l60.
Births, which numbered approximately
soc, 900 in 1919 dropped TO Sl5, 900 In
1916 and $4,000 in 1917 while the
deaths increased, but not In comparable
proportions, so that the total decrease
in population was due 10 the great
dimnution in births, and not TO any
great increase in deaths
The statistics cover seventy-seven de
pa rtments, excluding eleven Invaded de
partments and not including 1000
persons killed In the war.

PARIS, Feb. 11.-President Wilson
hopes to sail from France on Sunday
night with the League of Nations n
reality. TTe believes that by rushing
tactics the work of the already hard
worked committee may be drawn or
redrawn, discussed and adopted In
final form for presentation on Thurs
day for the committees final ap-
proval.
The full Peace Congress, with all
the small Powers represented, will
meet in a plenary session on Friday,
when. 1t is expected. after n certain
amount of discussion, the draft will
be approved substantially as 1t Is sub
mitted and will be put into operation
Immediately.
Thus the President will be able to
return to the United States with the
prestige OF having accomplished the
task that Is most closely identified
with his name.
Although it is believed that the
league plans have been worked out in
such way as to make Its decisions
as binding as possible upon wOuld-be
belligerents, the United States will
not be bound to send an army 10
help to settle European qusrrels. md
there will be no international army
so far as the United States is con
cerned.
At the meeting of the League of Ma
tions Committee to-day Leon Bour-
geois. the French representative.
made strong plea for the establish
! ment of an international army under
| the orders of the league, to be set IN
motion against whatever nation trans
gressed its orders. 1t has been
known for some time that this was
part Of the French plan, but this is
the first open expression of it.
President Wilson explained to Prof.
Bourgeois that the American COnstitu-
| tion does not permit such employment
Of an American army. thus bearing
out nil the previous assurances Of
the American commission that they
would not enter into any agreement
that bound the United States to fur
| nish troops for every punitive expedl-
ti0n the league might undertake.
! Before President Wilson leaves
the War Council will arrive at con
clusion regarding the new attitude OF
Germany.

JELLICOE EXPLAINS
KITCHENER'S DEATH
Cruiser Hampshire Struck a
German Mine, He Says.

LONDON, Feb. 11.--A book written by
Admiral Viscount Jellicoe. the former
commander of the British grand fleet.
which will appear tomorrow. gives the
cause OF the sinking of the British
cruiser Hampshire. on which Lord Kitch-
ener lost his life. Admiral Jellicoe ex-
plains that the Hampshire struck Ger
man moored mine. which had been laid
by q submarine.
The book contains revelations OF Brit
ish unpreparedness at the beginning OF
the war. The grand fleet had to run out
Of harbor several times because sub
marines were reported inside.
Admiral Jellicoo says he avoided night
action with his big ships of Jutland be-
cause the British searchiights and FIRE
controls were defective. He recommends

sells than In 1914.

Far From Complete.
BY tho Associated Press.

PARIS, Feb. ll.--As result of to
days meeting OF the Peace Conference
Commission on the Society OF Nations
doubts were expressed for the first time
that the project for the organization OF
the society would be completed before
President Wilson's departure for the
United States.
Questions have arisen within the COM
mission which are OF such nature
that they may prolong the discussions.
and this has given rise to serious appre-
hension that the perfected draft OF the
plan will not be completed by February
16, which Is the date Professionally set
for the Presidents departure.
The session OF the commission to-
day was a protracted one. which lasted
until 1885 o'clock this afternoon. II Is
understood that among other subjects
considered was the project for an in
ternational military force. urged by
Leon Bourgeois OF the French delegation.
NJ, Bourgeois's contention, II is said. was
that such force should be instituted
and also that II should be stationed in
France, as France was the strategic
centre Of Europe and the nation most
Immediately threatened.
Several new amendments to the draft
we're presented to-day. making further
consideration necessary, and the commits
sion adjourned for two days. during
which time the committee will make
every effort TO have the draft perfected 4
for presentation at the next meeting OF

ence of Views regarding some Of these
new proposals and this Is causing appre-
hension OF failure 20 complete the plan
