New York Times 100 years ago today, November 30, 1912:
Race Suicide Has Cut Down Recruits by 23,000 in Five Years.
PARIS, Nov. 20.— The number of recruits available for the army has been reduced from 238,000 in 1903 to 215,000 in 1911, owing to the diminution of the birth rate in France.
Joseph Reinach made this assertion during a debate in the Chamber of Deputies to-day on the bill relating to infantry enrollment.
