The Story the Week Has Told

About 100000 men were killed, ana
those the very flower Of the French
race. Some statisticians will have that
the number OF children born during the
war was less by million than would
have been the number born during that
period under peace. Moreover. the
children born during the war saw the
light under the most unfavorable con-
citions: their infant mortality rate was
extraordinarily high and the survivors
were destined to shorter and less pro-
ductive lives than the normal average.
Remember. too that hundreds OF thou
sands of French women were doomed
TO celibacy by the wars decimation OF
the men. The estimate OF an eminent
statistician that the war caused a
population loss to France Of 3.500.00 is
not far out The population of France in
1925 was greater than the population In
1911 by about 500, 900, which Is lust
about the number added by recovery OF
Aisace and Lorraine.
The war losses, direct and indirect.
have largely though by no means en-
tireiy. been made good by influx OF
foreigners. With only the small excess of
births over deaths recorded of the dec
ade preceding the war, and without any
increase Of aliens, the population should
barring war losses, but including the
addition from Alsace Lorraine) have
been greater in 1925 than in 1911 by
about 100000. The number of aliens
In France today is about 2.500.0O0,
including $4,000 Italians, 100000
Spaniards, 100000 Belgians 10000
Poles, 100000 Swiss. (The influx In
1922 was 10000. In 1925 1t was

Attracted by the discovery Of pre-
historic ruins in the state of Tlaxcala,
Mexico, during the last year, inveSti-
gators have found further tmportan;
