THE POPULATION OF GERMANY.
A Great Increase for the Empire
During the Century.

The Census Office has recently received
through the courtesy of the State De
partment, a consular report on the popu-
lation of the German Empire and its
changes during the past century. The
population is now about 56,000000. larger
than that Of any other country in Eu-
rope except Russia, which has In Europe
alone over 106 900, ,O00, or nearly twice as
many as Germany.
About a century ago, in 17&9. the whole
German Empire had a population of
about 26,0o0,000, and at the close of the
Napoleonic wars in 1915. Germany, though
somewhat reduced in size, had a popula-
tion of something more than 300G0,O0O. In
1915, since which date the area has re-
mained almost unchanged, Germany had
800 0O0 in 1868, 40 900, 600; IN 1888. q. .O09
600, and in 1880 about 55. 500 0O0. an in
crease during the century of about 30
600 900.
Since 1871, when the modern German
Empire was organized, the population of
Germany has increased about % per cent
growth extremely rapid for an old coun-
try, and for one sending out large and
steady streams Of emigrants. The Ger
mans feel a natural pride I'm the rapid
growth OF their population COMPARED with
thdt OF their rival across the Rhine. In
1915 France had about SO 0OG. GOO inhabi-
tants and Germany "a, 600 0y0 Now France
has about 3S 0O0.000 or only two-thirds
the number in Germany.

SECRETARY LONGS DECISION.
He Settles the Question of Promo
tioms of Naval Officers.

Secretary Long has decided the
questions raised In regard to the
advancement and promotion of naval Of
ficers for war services without referring
them to the Attorney General. He holds
that an officer advanced In his grade for
war services does not become an extra
number in that grade. but, on being pro-
NOTED in due course and regular order, he
becomes an extra number In the next
higher grade and continues as an extra
number in all grades to which he may be
promoted.
The specific decision of the Secretary is
that Rear Admiral Higginson, having
been advanced for war services, and then
promoted. in due course becomes an ex-
ira number on the list of rear admirals.
Being made an extra number, vacancy
is created in the list of rear admirals to
which Captain Sheperd, the senior cap
tain, viii be promoted.
Next to Capt. Sheperd is Captain Wildes,
who was advanced five numbers for ser
vices with Dewey in Manila Bay. With
Sheperds promotion he becomes the Sc
nior captain.
The Secretary holds that as Wildes does
not become an extra number until pro-
NOTED he is not carried to the grade of
Rear Admiral with SheDerd, but must
wait for such promotion In natural or
der. When he is promoted, however, ne
becomes an extra number and thus Gre
ates a vacancy TO which the next captain
will be promoted.
that the officer bearing regular num-
Der does not carry with him to the next
higher grade the officer directly behind
him bearing an extra number, but that
the extra number carries up the regular
number Immediately behind.
