REACTION OF WAR
CAUSES SUICIDES
Twenty Thousand Took Own Lives in
the Past Year, Many as Result OF
Disturbed Economic Conditions.
(Ry The Associated Press)

| NEW YORK, March 5.-Rcactiou
| following the war was blamed tonight
| by the Saye-a-Life league for the large
number of suicides in 1921, 10000 OF
which We're estimated to have taken
place in this country. The number OF
cases brought TO the leagues attention
was IL. IA. Of which S,410 were males
and 3,734 females.
This waste of life, the result OF re-
cent disturbed economic conditions
and the aftermath OF war" said a re-
port by Harry NJ Warren, president
| of the league. "has caused commercial
failures, loss of employment and much
real suffering. The growing complex
ity of our modern life, the feverisi un-
rest. crimes. divorces. questionable
dress, unhappy home relations, the de-
cline of religious sentiment, and other
things have caused deranged nerves,
depression and less self-control. With
improved business, which is sure to
come, the suicide fate will be reduced
and prosperity and happiness will re-
turn"
One Of the striking features Of the
report is the increase in the number
Of suicides of children, which was All
in. 1919, rot in 1920 and S5s in 1921.
There also We're 500 war veterans
among the suicides last year.
All classes of society were included
in the list OF those who took their own
lives. There were 10 editors, 40 stu
dents, 81 school teachers, II clergy
men, 80 brokers, 81 judges and law
yers, IS physicians. seven mayors, SIS
heads of large corporations, rs mil
uonafres, 80 wealthy women and SO
bankers, including 81 bank presidents.
The oldest suicide was 100 years old
and the youngest five years.
All sorts OF reasons were given by
the victims. One man hung himself
because his wife was too good to
him." another because his wife was
spending all his money, another be-
cause he could not stand the noise of
neighbours piano, and another be-
cause his wife refused to kiss him.
One spinstcr took poison. leaving a.
note that mo man in the world is good
enough for me-" and mother took her
life because her son would not marry
to please her. One man left a note
stating beware Of grass widows and
another killed himself for 1.-THE good
OF the I. w. W.
In New York city there were $40
suicides last year, an INCREASE of 1o3i
over 1929.
Ireland has fewer suicides than any
other country on earth, Mr.. Warren
declared in his comment on world con-
ditions. Germany leads the world,
in child suicide. Japan has
many thousands of suicides annually
and China is said to have a half-mil-
lion every year.
