Soho. while essentially the Little
Italy Of London, was surrounded by
q goodly foreign population from half
dozen other countries. The COLONY
proper numbered about 1856 tall
ans, of whom 1856 were between the
military ages of 20 and 45. These
have responded almost to q man.
Seven hundred of these, Italians were
walters in London hotels and restau-
rants. They deserted their trays to
go to war for la patrie and their
places have been mighty hard to fill.
The largest foreign colony, the Rus
sian, had population of 39,1S7. Its
closest rival was the Russian Poles
colony, with 23.918 members. In the
two were 20,62S men Of military age,
Few indeed Of these are not now In
the ranks OF the czar-or buried IN
Russian graves.
The French colony consisted Of 49,
500 persons, of whom 1854 were Of
military age. There also were Ser.
bans, Montenegrins, gelgians and
Greeks, SO that no less than 10000
foreigners from London answered the
various calls to arms.
This review does not include the
10,S67 male Germans, the 1858 Aus
TRANS, nor the 800 Turks. These
would have preferred to have an.
swered the call to arms, but England
wouldn't let them. They are informed
in concentration camps in England
today and probably will remain there
until the end Of the war.
The majority of those that have
gone to war have left their families
behind them. London has just taken

that they are doing very well indeed !;
that she need worry about them
mighty little.

closed, while those remaining open

LONDON, Oct. 9. (By maiD-Lon-
don's foreign population has depart
ed, Most of it has gone home to fight.
Mum erically this does not mean
much. Almost any American city OF
size boasts bigger foreign colonies
than London, but where Americas
foreign quarters have quantity, Lon
don's have quality. They nave a
past, history, tradition such as
has no Little Italy or Across the
Rhine district in America.
Many centuries before America be-
came the worlds emigrants' mecca,
London had held open its doors to the
exiled and prosecuted Of other coun-
tries. It has ever been the haven OF
refuge for those who for political, re-
ligious or other reasons were obliged
to leave their native lands.
Names by the hundreds that have
figured In the worlds history have at
times been obliged to hide with their
owners in the foreign colonies OF
London, where they could always find
refuge among those Of their own race
and persuasion. Even the anarchists,
nihilists and criminals have contrib
uted toward giving certain OF these
colonies an atmosphere Of tradition
and tone Of distinction which Is
lacking in the populous foreign quar-
tiers Of American cities.
Each foreign quarter in London
gradually has assumed the character
ist.cs Of the race whose children
populate 1t: because, in fact, little
salon in which the unfortunately IL
lustrious of most of the European ma
lions could be met-if you had entree
of the proper sort; something every
one does not have.
Thus, while London's entire foreign
population at the beginning OF the
war numbered only 10000 as COM
pared, for example, with the 100000
Italians in New York, the return of
a goodly portion of these to their ma
tive countries, left large void.
An investigation in these foreign
quarters has revealed that the men
responded to the call to arms in their
native countries with an unanimity
somewhat puzzling to Londoners who
still are deaf to the voices of the re-
CRITTERS. Most OF them returned to
their colors from patriotic impulses
only. A few thousand, however, are
known to have gone back to wipe out
by the valor of their arms the par

These books are much sought after

by the following incident. A patron
who was in the library looking over
the collection remarked to the libra

anything large about the collection
