These figures denote with rea-
sonable degree of accuracy the a.
mount of blood that each stock has
contributed to the making of the
American people as it was in 1910.
The blood of the older stocks, as
the English, German, Scotch, Irish,
Dutch, French, is diffused through
the native American stock far be-
yond what these figures indicate,
since intermarriage between the old
er stocks has been the rule. The
newer immigrations, on the other
hand, the Italians, Slavs, Russian
Hebrews, Magyars. are more or less
intact, not yet assimilated.
A very important lesson which the
table impresses is, that no one stock
predominates, the largest, the Eng
lish, representing a contribution of
no more than 3029o of tho whole,
the German being a close second
with 26.4@6, and the Irish contribut-
ing 1860 of the total white popu-
lation. Then follow, far behind,
with nearly equal percentage (3%)
the Scandinavian, Dutch, French,
and Scotch. The recent immigra-

the entire white population The
Germanic stock together amounts to
about 67.6 "a, the Latin and Celtic
2l.4Qo, the Slavic 4.6a6, all others

Another valuable lesson which the
table teaches is that the various ele-
ments must, for the good of the
American people, refrain from a hos
tile attitude toward one another.
By living peaceably side by side they
become an example to the great Eu-
ropean stocks whence they have
sprung, who, overstraining the race,
stock or national principles, are des-
perately at war with one another.

RACES THAT MAKE UP THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Prof. Faust Of Cornell University
Shows That "Hyphenated Citi-
zens" is a Misapplied Term
Germans Close Second to
English-Irish Next
By Prof. Albert B. Faust in The
Fatherland.


By Prof. Albert B. Faust in The
Fatherland.
(Albert B. Faust, of Cornell Uni
versity, is an authority on the racial
composition of the American People.
He has written valuable work, The
German Element in the United
States" and in the following re-
markable article he analyses in a
comprehensive form the elements
which have gone to the making of
the true American We regard this
statistical scrutiny one of the most
important contributions to the con-
troyersy in which one race claims
predominance over others in the Uni
ted States to the extent of asserting
higher patriotism and the right to
stife free expression of political
opinions, that has yet appeared. 1t
emphatically disproves the theory
that the descendants of English,
Scotch and Welsh immigrants con-
stitute the majority of our people.
and shows how vast part of our
population is German and non-Brit-
ish.)
How often in these stirring times
do we hear reference made to the
composite nature of the population
of the United Statesi But is there
ever a full and adequate apprecia-
tion of that fact2 Does the average
editor when he hurls the epithet,
"hyphenated American" at his fell
low countrymen, realize what he is
doing2 Is he not betraying incapa-
city, failing to understand American
conditions, far less excusable than
his misconceptions of European af-
fairs2
How many people are there, in the
United States, who might be in
cluded in the category "Hyphenated
Americans"2 We turn to the last
report of the Census Bureau. There
we find that in 1910 there was living
in the United States proper white
population of S1.731.957. OF these
32,243,382, or 35.1e6 of the entire
white population belong to the class
of the so-called hyphenated Ameri-
cans, being of foreign parentage.
The foreign born numbered 1885,
545, those native with both parents
foreign born, 12,916,311, those born
in this country with one parent ma
tive, the other foreign born, $751;
526. The distribution by countries,
in the order Of their numbers, was
as follows.

The best American statisticians
agree that this stock increased 1886
times until 1900, giving the English
element a distinct advantage, which
was reduced, however, to large ex-
tent. by a much larger German and
Irish immigration throughout the
nineteenth century. The result of
the calculation, which was based on
the work and revised on suggestions
of American statisticians Quicker,
Jarvis, Mayo-Smith, w. f. WILCOX,
was as follows:
Total white population
in 1900 ....... 66,SO9,l96
English (includingScotch
and Welsh .. 21,3OO,OOO
German (includ. Dutch) 1S,4OO,0OO
Irish (both Catholic and
Protestant) ....... l3,lOO,OOO
What was the number of each of
these leading stocks in the popula-
ton Of 1910, the year of the last
census? The increase given the ma
tive white stock by the census ex-
perts is 14e5. (See Abstract of the
Census, 1910, p. rs; obtained by
subtracting from the gross increase
from 1900-1910 the increase by inn
migration) This will give to each:
English ... 24,314,O 900
German ........ 20,976,0OO
Irish i 4,934,OOV
To these figures must be added
the increase by immigration between
19OO-1910. Since 1898 the immi-
grafton records : show not only the
country of birth, but also the natio-
nal stock of the immigrant. Thus
we are able to give the English the
credit of the English immigration
from Canada, the German that from
German Austria, etc. Since there is
always considerable migration
back to the native country, 1870 Of
the total immigration has been taken
as the increase, giving to the
English (including Scotch
and Welsh ......... 4O4,O25
German (including Dutch) 585,86 I
Irish .............. Zto,ooV
Adding these to the above count
and giving to each of these principal
stocks a small correction in their fa-
vor (for mixed parentage) then
applying similar principles Of calcu-
lation to each of the other stocks
that compose the people Of the Uni
ted States, we arrive at the following
results:

STUDENT MOTORMAN
HELD FOR DISASTER

Detroit, April 16.-To the inexperi-

ed the death of fourteen persons, ten
of them women, who were killed in a
collision between a street car and a
freight train on the tracks of the De
troit, Toledo and Ironton railroad in
the western end of this city. Twenty
eight other persons were injured, -four
of them seriously. their death being
believed certain. Some of the bodies
are so mutilated that their identified
ton will be impossible.
The first result of the triple inquiry
already under way came when j. &.

the time of the collision, and Richard
Vallade, his instructor, were locked

NO FURRY AT WASHINGTON
Report of Japanese Base at Turtle
Bay Probably Incorrect.

Washington, April 16-Official
Washington was interested but not
excited in Los Angeles reports that
Japanese warships have established a
base at Turtle bay, 409 miles south
of San Diego.
There was disposition, however, to
consider the reports misleading.
1t has been known that Japanese
war vessels were standing off The
Mexican coast, but Admiral Howard
reported that they were engaged in
salvage work on the cruiser Asama
aground near the mouth of the bay.
That they would take every precau.
tion to avoid a surprise by any Ger
man fleet was taken for granted, but
officials were skeptical of the story
that they had mined the harbor mouth.
The entire report caused but little
furry In army or navy circles.

Zeppelin Attacks Eleven Towns Along
English Coast.

London. April 1.-two men and
one woman slightly hurt and one
building destroyed by fire and three
damaged was the sum total of the de-
struction wrought by a Zeppelin in a
thirty-five minute cruise over the
Tyne district.
Eleven towns were attacked with
explosives and incendiary bombs, ac,
cording to information gathered by
Newcastle officials. The Zeppelins
hurled at least thirty destructive
missiles that tore great holes in the
ground or spurted into flame, and
then sailed eastward across the North
sea, while machine guns and rifles
fired harmlessly at the sky.
Newcastle, doubtless the objective
OF the raid, escaped. Lights were

DOZEN men In THE GANG

Crew Lined Up at Point of Rifles
While $4,000 Worth of Silk Is
Loaded on Trucks-Robbers Make
Their Escape With Plunder.
Buffalo, ~ Y, April ia dozen
bandits held up a New York Central
fast freight train at Sanborn, nine
miles east of North Tonawanda,
stripped several cars of bolted silk
valued at $4,000 and sped away in
automobile trucks, upon which they
had loaded their plunder The bandits
were armed with repeating rifles and
automatic pistols and fired several
shots at the crew. No one was in
jured.
After forcing the engine crew to
uncouple the locomotive and run it
a short distance down the tracks the
eDginemen and the three other mem
bers of the train crew were lined up
against a box car and placed under
guard of a single bandit, while the
others looted the merchandise cars.
Four fiye-ton automobile trucks
were in waiting and were quickly
loaded with the booty. Engineer Goss
OF Syracuse escaped the guard and,
running a fusillade of shots, reached
his engine in safety. He made a rec
ord run into Suspension bridge, eight
miles away. and gave the alarm. Po.
lice and armed citizens were hurried
to the scene. but the robbers had
made good their escape. The rob
berry was the most daring of its kind
that has ever occurred In this section
of the country and the amount of
plunder far exceeds in value the pro-
ceeds of any other freight train rob
berry in the history of Eastern rail
roading.
