OUR GERMAN POPULATION.

Figures concerning the German
population of the United States at
the present time which have just
been assembled by the United States
census bureau are exceedingly inter
esting and timely. The census bu-
reau has combined its figures gath
cred in the 1910 census with the re-
ports of the immigration bureau for
the years since then to show that
there is a total of 2,603,776 persons
of German birth in this country.
These figures are surprising be-
cause they are so small, but when one
examines into the immigration fig
ures for the last few decades it is
clearly evident that the number of
persons of German birth could not
be much above that figure in view of
the proportionately small German
immigration since the beginning of
Germany's intensified industrial de-
velopment and her careful and wise
provisions to make life in the Faith
erland as attractive to her people as
in the lands oversee.
The figures for German immigra-
ton during 1911, 1912, 1913 and
1914 are significant. They show
24,7S1 in 1911, 20,031 in 1912, 29,-
145 in 1918, and 2S,46S in 1914.
Since August, 1914, there have been
very few Germans admitted to this
country-not because they wouldn't
be admitted if they came. but be-
cause they didn't come. The begin
ming of the wal ended immigration.
of course.
The population in this country
| whose ancestors we're of German or
igin is, of course, very much greater
than those of German birth. The
census bureau estimates the number
at S,2S2,61S and shows that these
people are found largely in the states
of New York, Illinois, Wisconsin,
| Pennsylvania, Iowa, Michigan, New
| Jersey, Minnesota, Ohio and Missou-
ri. The greatest proportionate pop
! ulation of those of German ancestry
! is found in the Middle Atlantic
states, where in 1910 they constr
tuted lis per cent of the total pop
ulation. Throughout the h o e
| country those of German ancestry
formed 8 per cent of the population.
On account of the great war, and
because of our many troubles with
Germany since it's inception, the mat
ter has been a subject of grave and
somewhat overponderous discussion
in august and learned bodies, which
! have failed mostly to reckon with the
fact that the population of German
ancestry in this country is so large
that it constitutes nearly one-tenth
of the entire population. 1t has al
; so failed to reckon with the fact, and
fact it is, that the larger part of this
! population of German ancestry is re-
moved from the Fatherland by two
or even three or four generations
that some of the oldest families in
this country are German in their
! origin and have been enrolled in the

PARALYSIS VICTIMS.

ATLANTA, Aug. 29.-The terrible
plague of infantile paralysis now raw
aging New York City and vicinity
may never reach Atlanta and certain
ly will not if the local city and state
health authorities can prevent it, but
Atlanta has sent to New York no less
than fourteen nurses who. volunteer
ed for service in combating the dis
ease.
Some weeks ago the New York au-
thorities requested the medical direct
or of the Atlanta public schools to is
sue call for nurses who would vol.
unteer for service, and nine young
ladies responded.
A few days ago a second appeal
was made, and this slime five nurses
who had just received their diplomas
from an Atlanta hospital responded to
the call. They left yesterday for Sa-
vannah and will sail from there by
steamer to New York.

In spite OF her attempted bravado she
felt trapped

emphasized. do you remember Mr.

Pulling at the fastenings OF her
morning dress she hurried to heT
houdoir. She would put on something
fetching-and arrange her hair differ
emily. A hundred ways and means
of fascinating and hoodwinking this
very calm and assured young man
crowded into her brain.
Standing at the door Of her room
was Mary, her eyes wide with fear.

urged nervously.

She leaned forward and pressed

of her dessing table. A little, blown
wisp of hair tumbled into her eyes
Impatiently, she brushed it back then

they watched, with unbelieving eyes
the ring of scarlet faded to q deep
rose, then paled to pink. Almost i'm
mediately it vanished. leaving an un-
blemished white surface.
At sight of it June bent and kissed
the spot in a paroxysm of JOY.
It's gone-it's gone!" she cried in
hysteric glee, and wrapped Mary in a
crushing bear hug. That's a good
sign l believe in signs, don't you,

June reached down grasped her
wrinkled, trembling hands and started
whirling her about in mad, merry
circle, laughing at her breathless ex-
postulations, the while.
Suddenly, in their wild gyrations,
her elbow struck pedestal in the cor
ner of the room. 1t swayed perilously
for a second, then toppled to the moor

"The Red Circle God help us!"
muttered the nurse once more, as
June looked at her, dazed. incredulous
you know about the Red Circle?
Won't you please tell me?" she en-
treated. you must know, because
can see you recognize it. Don't you
see how terrible it is for me? Mary,
won't you tell me?"
The nurses arm frightened around
the slim young body. Unconsciously
she lapsed into the soothing, automatic
patting that she had used so often to
put the baby June to sleep.
Il don't know, lamb. l don't know
anything, precious" she stammered.
Marys face took on the haggardness
OF one who is awakened from what
seemed to be a gruesome nightmare,
only to find that it is grim truth.
She turned from the kneeling figure
and went quickly through the door and
down the stairway, one hand pressed
to her throat.
June looked after her, stunned by
a swift, certain fear. Then, slowly she
rose from her knees, walked over to
her dressing table and sank into the
little chair before the mirror.
In a moment she had decided. Hum
ming softly, she ran down the steps
and into the garden.
Down a side path, in little clump
of bushes was a stone bench. Sitting
on this bench, swaying to and fro,
with tightly clasped hands was Mary.
Iune reached her side, breathless
= alarmed. AS she approached
Aary looked up in piteous supplication,
Don't ask me, precious! Don't ask
me, dear! | don't know. l couldn't
tell you, blessed" she moaned, and
raised her hands to ward off June's
embrace.
The girl sat down and put loving
arm across her shoulders.
People who bring up children and
love them" she began slowly, always
forget those children are grown. Once
