sThese three nationalities are not sep
arately stated.
These figures are the result of careful
examinations by medical experts, and from
them can be deduced 4 pretty close ap-
Proclamation as to the percentage of the
foreign element in the American army of
2213, 1868 men.
If there is any desire to ascertain the
numerical proportion of the soldiers of
foreign birth who served in the Union
army during the late war, it could be east
ly ascertained with sufficiently close ap-
Proclamation by requiring the different pen
sion agents to ask each soldier-pensioner
next pay day his place of birth and also
the birthplaces of his father and mother
and report the same, either to the War
Department o. Department of the Interior
1 suggest inquiry as to parents for the
reason that great many very distinguish
ed Americans insist upon designating
American-born children of Irish parents
as Irish instead Of Americans, when they
are either unfortunate enough or happy
enough, the case may be- to be handi-
capped or adorned with distinctively Irish
(Celtic) surnames. In this way, 1t will be
found that Ireland should be credited with
furnishing her proper quota for that roll
OF honor-the pension hst-and that ma
tive" America should not be charged with
more than her fair proportion of the al
legged frauds upon the list.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In his letter published in The Star of
January p, Mr.. H. T. Johns of the pension
bureau, discussing the question as to the
surviving soldiers Of the late war states
that 1.-The statistics show that eight-three
out Of every one hundred of our soldiers
were American born"
1 would like to know where Mr. Johns
got those statistics. Certainly he did not
get them from Col. Ainsworth of the War
Department, nor from any other reliable
source. In an official letter which is now
before ME Col Ainsworth makes this state
ment:
ut is rot possible, from any data yet pre-
pared, for this department or any other
department of the government, or for any
individual, official or otherwise, to make
even an approximately correct statement
of the number of soldiers belonging to any
particular nationality
/ have taker some pains heretofore to
make an approximate estimate of the nativ-
tiles of those soldiers who served in the
Crion army. The data from which Dr.
Baxter, chief of the medical branch Of the
provost marshal generals bureau, compiled
his statistics vastly exceed in extent and
accuracy any of similar nature before
collected and published; and the exclusion
renders them free from the objection that
in many cases, statisticians resort to the
calculus of F. oba Utilities to exc out the
meager foundation on which their concIu-
sions are observation-disclosures practically use
less, and which, III one notable instance es-
pecially, that of DR.. B. A. Gould of the
sanitary commission, have already led to
many false statements in regard to the
results of the anthropological Investigations
of the United States army.
During the first two years of the war
the army of the United States was re-
crLited by volunteer enlstments, under the
control of the several states, and it was
not until March 3, 1863. when this method
lad proved inadequate, that Congress
passed an act creating e. bureau to be
known as the provost marshal generals
bureau, which should have charge, among
other matters, of the recruiting of the.
volunteer enlistments. If found practicable.
or by draft should 1t be necessary. The
total number of examinations exclusive of
enrolled men who came up for exemption
from the draft was 910,652 A little over
oEe-half of this number Go wit, SOL 7S)
only had been used by DR.. Baxter, owing to
iEcompleteness in the remainder.

man, Joe became in time the best-posted
man in Ohio on political history and politi-
cal statistics. During McKinleys admins
tration as governor Of Ohio Joe was the
state librarian. He was also the literary
and political secretary OF the governor.
He largely furnished the data for the
speeches and addresses which Governor
Mckinley made from 1892 until he became
President.
He accompanied the governor on his cam
paign tours, and when others were asleep.
Joe was talking and planning with the local
leaders in the places visited. He never
seemed to get tired. He was indefatigable
in his work before the ST. Louis convention,
and during all the presidential campaign
was at Canton assisting In the preparation
and publication of those wonderful speeches
from the front porch. He came to Wash
ington with no time for rest and entered
upon the work of the bureau of American
republics. He was ambitious to make a
record as director. His days were taken
up In the work of the bureau. his nights in
meeting men from all over the country
with whom he had been in touch during the
campaigns Just ended. Joe had an intense
personal affection for the President. He
would not admit that he could do too much
work for him or his friends. He was
warned, but he went on. and at the end of
a not summer the break down came. There
will be more than one man in Ohio and
throughout the country whose eyes will be
wet today when he hears of Joe's death
He was lovable man. strong, brave faith
ful, who never turned his back on friend or
enemy.
Mr.. Smiths Aims.
Frederic Emory. chief of bureau of for
eign commerce. Department OF State, has
been temporarily designated by the Sec
rotary of State as acting director of the
bureau of American republics. and took
charge of the bureau this morning In
speaking of Mr.. Smiths death, Mr.
Emory said today:
Soon after the appointment of Mr.
Smith in March last I was brought into
personal and official relations with him.
and L may say that I have never met a
man who impressed himself more strongly
upon me in so short "A space of time
He had traits of character so lovabIe that
l can readily understand why he should
have such a host of warm and steadfast
friends. He addressed himself imme-
diately to the discharge Of his duties as
republics with an energy which l am sat
isfied had much to do with breaking him
down. He has not been we'll man since
the middle of August last, and most of the
time mas been In feeble or DANGEROUSLY
critical condition. Nevertheless he has
gone on with his work I'D to within a
few hours of the fatal attack, about a
week ago. Although he was able to di-
rect the affairs Of the bureau on the spot
1or put little more than four months, he
succeeded in giving it a greater usefulness
than it had ever had before. and as he
described his plans to me he Contemplated
a line or action which would have greatly
broadened its dignity and scope He was.
IN Iact, q Vitalizing force, and his death
undoubtedly removes strong personality
from public affairs.

when He wa. i'm the War.


a wan street broker added this reminis-
ccnce OF the last war TO several improb-
abe stories that were told In down town
office:
Shortly after the first battle of Bull
Run" he said. 81 walked Up Broadway
and stopped al a saloon. The barroom
was crowded with miscellaneous lot o;
people, each one trying to outtalk some
one else. and conspicuous in the crowd was
soldier In uniform who had been in the
battle and evidently hacn't stopped re-
treating until he reached New York. His
theme was his own valor and he wasn't
modest in his treatment of It, From his
talk he had killed scores of the enemy, and
II all Of the other soldiers had been as
brave, the result would have been differ
ent. The crowd listened after he had once
attracted their attention. A slight chap
perhaps he might have been is or 10 years
oid-worked his way up to the bar and
offered TO sell some parched corn to the
bartender. The soldier had just finished
story of his own daring. and when he
caught sight Of the corn vender he drew
himself up and said. pompously:
Young man. you should be ashamed
OF selling corn in these times. Don't you
know that every man owes II to his gov
eminent to go 10 the 'front.'?
"'Piease sir said the boy who was evil
IDENTIFY abashed at the rebnke. IT isn't my
fault, sir. l did want to be a soldier sir
! went TO the recruiting ofiice, and when
the doctor examined me he said that my
heart was weak, and that l would no; be
accepted because couldn't rum.
The unconscious pasness of the boys
reply struck the crowd. and a laugh went
up that made the glasses behind the bar
rattle. The booster made his escape. and
the corn vender, who didn't see the joke,
hurried out after him"
