Suicides Fall
Way Off Even
During War
VIENNA. Feb. 16.—Notwithstanding
all the misery and unhappiness caused
ty the war ,the number of suicides and
attempted suicides in Vienna was far
smaller than usual last year. Vienna
has long had an unenviable notoriety
among the capitals of Europe on ac
county of its large number of suicides
In 1913 there were 1,485 suicides and
attempted suicides, as compared with
1.286 in 1914, and only 881 during the
post year.
Russian Paper
Is Started For
The Prisoners
BERLIN, Feb. 16.—An official com
munication announces the foundation
o* a new Russian paper in Berlin, the
Hussikii Westnik, whose purpose it is
to keep Russian readers informed “ia
an unpartisan sense” of the military
and political situation. The Russian
prisoners of war, says the communica
tion, feel especially the need of a
newspaper which estimates events
“quietly and objectively.” This will
be the only Russian paper they are
permitted to receive.

DIDTHEORY AGAIN
KIR FINDING GOOD
PARIS, Feb. 16. —Prof. Aulard, dis
tinguished for his historical studies on
the French revolutionary period, has a
theory on the possibility of discovering
military leaders of talent, possibly
some of genius, among young officers
ard men who are prevented by the hi
erarchical system in all armies from
disclosing any particular latent gift of
generalship.
"When France alone was facing in
1793 the most formidable European
coalition she has ever withstood single
handed,” says Prof. Aulard, "she was
saved by the appearance of exceptional
generals, such as Hoche, Jourdan, Mor
eau and finalyl Bonoparte. Their talent
were discovered by a system of close
observation on the part, not only of the
Deputies with official missions, but by
the personal contact of members of the
Government with the troops. By mix
ing and talking with the men, those
officers who had their confidence and
aroused their enthusiasm were dis
covered. Advancement was then of the
swiftest. Lazare Hoche, for example,

who in the beginning of 1793 was a
captain, was appointed brigadier-gen
eral in the autumn of the same year at
25 years of age.”
Prof. Aulard declares that a similar
system for the advancement of new
men in the army would be both possi
ble and desirable today. But it would
be necessary that members of the Gov
ernment personally survey the troops
in action, as Carnot, Minister of War,
and Saint-Just did in 1793-94.
It might seem that experiments with
new loaders entails a greater risk to
day than in former times, when armies
were counted by thousands instead of
by millions, but Prof. Aulard is inclin
ed tc the cortrary.
"A pitched battle, lost or won a
hundred years ago,” said he “could and
generally did, decide the fate of a
campaign, whereas today, with trench
warfare and the definite means of el
aborating a defensive action, failure to
succeed in adopting new plans of of
