FRANCE'S BIRTH DATE HAS
DECREASED THIRD
(By Associated Press)
PARIS, March 2. — The uninvaded
departments of France showed a de
crease In population of 260,000 In 1915,
according to complete statistics that
are not yet official, but may be taken
as approximate. These figures do not
include the Invaded territory, nor do
they conjurlje the death losses in the
army. W.
The births and deaths for 77 depart
ments in 1913 and 1914 and of 76 de
partments In 1915 out of a total of 86
departments were: 1913, deaths 588,
809, births 604,454; 1914, deaths 647,
549, births 594,222; 1915, deaths 644,
301, births 382.466. The war has thus
deprived France of a third of its av
erage births and added ten per cent
to Its normal death rate, in addition
to the killed on the battlefield.
