|HYPHENATED AMERICANS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Every third person in the United
States is hyphenated American. At
least this Is true if you apply the term
federal government defines as being of
foreign origin. This classification in
cludes every person in the country who
was born abroad, or whose parents
were born abroad; and there are 3d.
100000 such people in the United States.
OF course, in popular sense, that is
not what ''hyphenated' means at all.
The hyphen has come to imply a divi-
sion Of the individuals loyalty be-
tween the country of his origin and
that Of his adoption. An 1rishman
who landed here a year ago is apt to
be as loyal to the United States as any
descendant of the oldest English fam
lily in Virginia. True. he still worships
the Emerald Isle and loves the songs
and stories about it. Sentimentally,
he Is devoted to Ireland, but politically
he belongs heart and soul and both
fists to the United States of America.
Certain other races, however lack
the Irishman's adaptability Instead of
mixing with Americans and becoming
like them, they form little colonies by
themselves where they cherish their
national languages and customs. After
heart be loyal to the land of their
origin. With the European struggle
going on, 1t is interesting to analyze
this great mass of material for the
melting pot.
OF the 100000 people of foreign
origin in the United States, $4,000, 900
were actually born abroad, $4,000. 900
were born here Of parents born abroad,
and 100000 had one American and
one foreign-born parent.

cities. There he hears spoken only the
language of his old home, and lives in
the atmosphere of it's customs. The
American influence eddies around the
borders Of the foreign settlement, and
the American school does a good deal
of 1eavening inside it, but the process
Is slow. The Italian has not been in
America very long: he Is a new i'm
migrant of the present generation.
Only time will show what sort of a
citizen he will become.
The Austro-Hungarian is also a COM
paratively new element in the Ameri-
can melting pot. So far, he is a labor
er. He is found In great numbers about
the coal mines and factory towns.
Dwelling in colonies, he is not rapidly
absorbed. The Slavic portions of these
nationalities. together with Bulgarians
and Armenians, are like cattle in the
pens of American industry. There is
mystery in the awakening of these slow
peoples, room for wonder as to what
sort of men will be evolved from them
in the second and third generations.
Most of the Russians In America are
Jews, and do not represent the race OF
the car. The few true Russians who
come are mostly of the peasant class.
and seek homes on farms. Being scat
tered through this tendency. the second
generation may be expected to become
thoroughly American The experts say
that the Russian should add a worth
while strain to American blood. The
strongest races Of the world have al
ways dwelt far to the north. where
nature required the development of
vigor and enterprise. There should be
a hardihood in the Russian that will
make him an element of the future
from which the world will hear.

there were padrones who would pro-

those of any other nationality could

America are mostly from the cities,
and are consequently less enterprising

who come from the country districts.

the same. He operates a push cart, a
