will show the United States to have
larger number of cities with a population
exceeding 100000 than any other nation
We shall show about forty such munich
palities. ana our nearest rival. it is be-
lieved is India. In this competition
China is not counted, as the population
of Chinese cities " largely matter of
guessing, and they are mere collections
of villages at best The experts ave
also figured out that the center of popu-
lation in the United States has now trav-
eled about sixty miles west of Colum-

Merriam expects to announce the total
population Of the United States so that
Congress may upon its reassembling at
