Paris. July 3.-The comparativs
decrease in civil populations Of
France and Prussia has just been
indicated In an Official tabulation
given to the press. From July 1,
1914, to June 80. 1918, the popula-
ton of the uninvaded part of
France (33,0oo.0o0 inhabitants) d.
minished by ss3.440, and that Of
Prussia 42.ooo.oo0) diminished by
3l2S27.
Hence with a population 100000
less than that of Prussia, France
suffered a decrease three times az
great. Considering the invaded de-
partments, where the birth rate
was almost zero and the death rate
very high. the deceease OF French
population appears even much
greater.
