HARDER TO DISSUADE SUICIDES SINCE WAR Official Says Life Is Held Too Cheaply These Days—Relates Experiences.

P n Vttiled Press i NDON, Oct. 2.—Stevenson’s 'tale of the “Suicide -Club” contains no stranger passages than today come from the lips of Bigndier Chapman who for seventeen years has been head of .London’s antithesis to the Suicide Club'—the Anti-Suicide Bureau of the Salvation Army. Here and there on the walls of his office and on the desk before him lie mementoes of would-be suicides wiio came to Chapman’s office for one last word of advice before taking their lives. Sometimes Chapman succeeded in staying their hand. Sometimes he failed utterly. “I remember one man who came to me in black despair saying that if I could not find him 100 pounds immediately he would kill himself’’ said Chapman. “I promised to do what I could for him, and told him to go away and wait until he heard from me. As I left my office an hour later I saw a newspaper headline which read ‘Regent Street Suicide.’ My man had gone straight out and shot himself." “But they didn’t all end that way” continued Chapman. He picked up a cheap revolver that lay on his desk. “The man who held this revolver to his heart and pulled the trigger is still alive. The revolver jammed. The shock of the effort brought the man back to his senses. He came to me with tears in his eyes. Things straightened out for

him and today there is not a happier man in London. “This knife here cut the throat of a harness maker at Woolwich. But it didn't go deep enough. He pulled through. Today he is happy and at work.” “Yes, I have seen a queer cross- J section of London. “There was the army officer, for j instance, who dashed into my office j and threw enough cocaine on my i desk to kill a dozen men. ‘Save me i from myself!’ he cried, and then fell | sobbing into a chair. We pulled j him through all right, too. "Women, as a general thing, are j harder to help than men. Most j often with them it is a love affair. ! That is the hardest sort of difficulty to settle. Business troubles, flnan- j cial troubles, can often be straight ened out. At times I have gone into a man’s business and run it for him for a, time while we sent him away - for a vacation. If business lias picked up, that works fine. If it hasn’t—will, perhaps la the meantime, he changed his mind about killing himsef, and the experiment works out all right anyway.” 'Chapman said it was harder today to dissuade people bent on killing themselves today than it used to be. “The war seemes to have jangled the world's nerves,” he said. “Peo- i pie in despair are more despairing • than they used to be. The war taught us to hold life too cheap.

Besides, life is fcfto swift nowadays.” Chapman is yetiring from his office as held of the Anti-Suicide Bureau. He will be succeeded by Brigadier Gordon. DRY 7&ERK RESIGNS Miss Ruth Fox, disbursing clerk in the Federal prohibition offices, has
