Slight Decrease in Number of Hebrews,
Trebled in the City

BERLIN. Dec. 8.-Religious statistics
Of Germany made public today. show
that the percentage OF Protestants and
Catholics in the country has not changed
materially since 1871. There has been a
slight decrease Of Jews. while the avow-
ed atheists have doubled in number and
now form per cent Of the population.
j is estimated that the unavowed athe-
lists have increased until they now form
l5 or % per cent Of the population. This
percentage is based on the premise that

lished statement that he had called at
the White House Ito present to Mr
Roosevelt a statement of the reasons
why the Marine Band should not be
allowed 10 play in competition with or
ganiza tions of union musicians" AS a
matter of fact Mr.. Canning's mission TO
the White House was to lay before the
President what are considered good rea-
sons why the Marine Band should be
allowed to compete with other organi-
cations.
The mistake has placed Mr.. Canning
in a false position before the public
but those familiar with the question
were not misled owing to the secretary's
well-lznown stand on the matter at issue
Mr. Canning has furnished the Secre-
tary of the Navy with data covering
the attitude OF the organization he rep
