Suicide Increase
Among Children
During Past Year
By Margery Rex.

New York, Aug. 29.--Suicides
are on the increase.
Especially among children.
Reports covering suicides for
the first six months Of this year
show that 214 boys and 293 girls
have killed themselves.
During the same period of 1920.
225 children ended their lives.
The figures come from the Save
a-Life League. Of which DR.. Harry
March Warren, is president.
The object of the league is the
prevention of suicides and Its head
reports that the increase in the
number of self-inflicted deaths Is
the aftermath of war among adults
and the fear of parental anger due
to failure in school examinations
in the case of children.

In the first six months
of this year DR.. Warren said:

Many fathers and mothers are
rough and mean to their unfortu-l

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-Premier
Aristide BRAND babe farewell last night
to the conference on the limitation of ar.
mamene after successfully blocking any
move to an expression by the five prin-
I cipaI allied and associated powers for Il
reduction in the land forces of the world.
A resolution, proposed by Italy for an
expression of the hope of the conference
that the nations of the world might in the
near future take steps to reduce and to
limit their armies, was not pressed for
adoption by the conference after NJ.
BRAND had spoken in opposition to it.
MAKES FRENCH
POSITION CLEAR.
The position of the French minister, as
stated to the heads of the American,
British, Italian and japanese delegations
sitting with him as a special sub-commlt-
tee on procedure with respect to land ar
maments was stated by him with special
force and clearity. Some of his state
ment was a reiteration of his address of
Monday at a plenary session of the con-
ference, but behind the guarded doors of
the Pan-American building, he became
more specific.
France. NJ. BRAND urged asked to be
permitted to continue the reduction of
her land forces in relation to her own
tional security But one alternative was
open. That, he said, was a specific guar
antee from Great Britain and the United
States to protect the territorial integrity
and political independence of France
against external aggression. As it had
been made clear to him no such guar
antee might be expected, it was essen
tial, if the other powers were not bent
on the moral isolation" of France, that
the people of his republic be permitted
to work out their program according to
their own lights.
". BRAND declared the Italian resolu-
ton was Objectionable on the further
ground it proposes TO contemplate action
with respect to other countries of Eu
rope not represented ut this conference.
That he held to be wrong in principle.
DISCUSSES
HUGHES PROGRAM
Tie French Premier was very keen
throughout his address. Some of his
sallies were decidedly pointed. For ex-
ample, he referred to the percentage OF
naval reduction proposed by the HigheS
program. He inquired why three ma
tions-America. Britain and Japan-sit
ting in the conference as friends. desired
to retain any capital ships at all. Tehn
he said the Hughes program provided
for a reduction of approximately 80 per
cent in the fleets of the major sea pow
ers. France, which is being criticised for
the size Of the army. had reduced her
land forces approximately 80 per cent by
the modification of her three-year sery-
ice law.
There was, of course, n nexchange Of
pleasantries incident to VI. Brands fare
well tC the conference. He expressed
his regret at being obliged TO return to
France. The spokesman for the other
four nations responded with appreciation
Of his services and regret at his going.

FURTHER PURPOSES
OF CONFERENCE.

The feeling was widespread that the
objection of France to any program for
the reduction Of land forces having been
put beyond the hope Of this assembly of
nations, the conference certainly had I'M
dertaken 10 do the next best thing by
dealing sQuarely with the issue presented
by aircraft and poison gases. 1t was
not hard 10 guess what the recommended
lions Of the conference might be with
respect TO the uses to which those new
agencies could be put under a new code
Of warfare. The United States and the
allies never used aircraft to bomb hos
pitfalls and it was Germany who intro
duced, not only gases which rendered
troops ineffective during an engagement.
but blind, burned and attacked the hearts
OF men.
FRANCE HAS NO
OFFENSIVE INTENTIONS.
Those portions of NJ. Brands address.
made public by the conference, follow
ing their official translation made no
reference to his remarks on the italian
proposal for a resolution dealing with
land armament. The official statement
set forth that the French Premier had
thanked his colleagues for their words
relating to France. Those words, he
said, marked a great step forward on
the road to peace.
NJ. BRAND declared it was possible
no longer for any one TO say the arma
ments Of France masked offensive inten-
tion, but his statement of Monday was
necessary to put an end to talk abroad
that France was guilty Of hidden mo.
tives and doubtful purposes. On his re-
turn tc France, he said, the French par
lament would begin the consideration
Of military problems, the chief aim Of
which would be n desire to reduce. He
paid tribute to Rene Vivian"s successor
as chief of the French delegation.-Copy-
