THE COMING AMERICAN RACE.
II VIII lie Angio@Gefh1an with Dash Of
Celtic Thrown In.

Celtic Thrown lii.
1t is curious to note the shifting
character Of the immigration to this
country. For awhile we were threat
encd with an Italian deluge. When
the collapse in the Argentine republic
and uruguay turned the foodtide of
southern Europe in this direction the
American ports were overrun with the
brown races of Sicily and the Italian
peninsula, and some of the prophets
began to predict that the American
people would be Latinized. But the
Italian immigration. is already decreas-
ing. The report of the bureau Of sta
tistics shows that the number of Italians
arriving in this country during the
nine months ending with March was
30, 1914, while during the corresponding
period of the year preceding it was 49,
OBS, and still greater for the year before
that The feature of the movement
from Europe is the enormous growth of
the Russian immigration. This is due
to two causes-the increasing discon-
tent throughout the empire and the
Jewish persecution, the latter in par
ticular being effective. As source of
human supply Russia now ranks next
to Germany. During the last nine
months we received from that country
62,219 immigrants, which was more
than double the number for the equiva-
lent period preceding. A few years
ago the immigration from Russia was
SO small that it was not worth mention
ing. But there is one country from
which the human stream is not subject
to spasmedie increases or decreases.
On the contrary, it flows steadily on
with gradually swelling volume, and
the characteristics of that land, next to
those of parent England, will always
have the greatest influence upon the
United States !.
The German nation has long fur
nishcd us more immigrants than any
other, and even the great Russian squirt
has not been able to pass it. The Ger
man movement, which began hall
century ago, has been throughout that
time unchecked, and is now larger than
ever before. During nine months the
total of arrivals from the German EN-
pire was rs, 1873, and the Germans from
Austria, 20, 497, this being an increase
OF about seventeen per cent. IN one year.

A Word to the Wise.

The grading of Franklin street out to
Murray Hill is advancing as rapidly
as unfavorable weather will permit.
The hill from Cathedral street is be-
ing cut down and the adjacent ravine
filled up to the established grade. The
immense advantage of this improve
nlent to the property at Murray Hill
will soon be apparent. With eomfor-
table grade forwalking or driving and
broad and handsome approach,
Murray Hill property holders will
realize their great gain of this truly
important city Improvement. The
opening of Franklin street at once de-
velops and consolidates with city
property the fine locations at Murray
Hill. The city has greatly needed this
addition to its available building lots
and houses will soon be dotted over this
very desirable section. An early selec-
ton and purchase of your lots will be
greatly to your interest. Values will
raise and the best lots will soon be
taken.
