INSANE FEAR OF WAR BRINGS FAMILY TRAGEDIES

What the fears of war may do is shown in the following dispatch sent last week from Paris: Pierre Barbazanges, a 25-year-old bookkeeper whose fear of war drove him to kill his wife, had died from self-inflicted bullet wounds.

Fearful of being called to the colors, Barbasanges shot his wife and himself when the government ordered partial mobilization. The parents of Mme. Barbazanges, also fearing war, hanged themselves shortly afterward.
