ONLY 700 AMERICANS ARE
IN BRITISH CAMPS NOW
Members of Canadian Force Glad of
Entry of United States in
the War.

London America entry into the
war was hailed with unbounded en-
thusiasm by every one of the zoo ma
tive-born Americans encamped near
London in three Canadian battalions,
one of which, the 211th, has been call
ed the new American Legion because
of its large percentage OF boys from
the states" The other two battaliOns
are the 212th and 21Sth.
The 211th was called the American
Legion when it was formed out in
Calgary. While in process of forma-
ton there it attracted Americans from
many parts of the United States and
Canada. So it was only natural that
the members should cling to their ma
tive designation when they landed in
England, especially as the outfit mum
bered more Americans than any Cana
dian battalion since the 9th lost its
identity when it was broken up and
its members scottered among other
regiments, some of which were sent to
the front and saw fighting on the
Somme.
Ever since their arrival here early
in January the men of the 211th have
been crying for taste of modern war
fare. Their training in the Canadian
northwest made them hard as nails
and as is characteristic of the Ameri
can temperament they were anxious tc
show results, and quickly, too.

immigration Figures Showed Falling
Off in the Last % Years-Scan-
dinavans Move.

Washington ID. C.-The National
Geographic society, from its Wash
ington headquarters, has issued a bull
letin on the number of German-born
people in the United States. The
bulletin also includes other statistics
of vital interest in the present sit
uation.
During the last quarter of a cen
fury there has been a startling fall
ing off in the PERCENTAGE of Germans
in the total number of immigrants
who have come to our Shores" says
the bulletin. with more than H.
100000 immigrant arrivals since1S90,
only 1,023,000 have been Germans,
whereas in the ia years between the
establishment of the American re-
public and 1890, out of total of 49,
$4,000 immigrants, there were s.
$4,000 Germans-every third arrival
a Teuton.
Most are Here Long.
"If from the 1,023,O00 who have
come to America since 1890, the pc
riod of greatest influx of foreigners,
a proper deduction is made for those
who returned to their home land and
those who have died since their ar

fewer than a million former subjects

can examination of the statistics of
American immigration shows that
since the foundation of our govern
ment the united kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland has contributed
100000 of her people and Germany
more than 100000. Ireland with
more than 100000; Great Britain,
with little less than 100000, and
Scandinavia with something less
than 100000, have, together with
Germany, contributed more than
half of the total immigration to our
shores since the beginning of the
revolutionary war.
"Austria-Hungary stands next in
the list of contributors to the immi-
grafton stream that has flowed from
Europe to America. Although Aus
tro-Hungarians began to immigrate
in considerable numbers only when
the arrivals from western Europe
had begun to fall off, sufficient have
come from the dual monarchy to
populate the state Of Texas to it's
present density. Italy has sent us
enough of her people to duplicate
the population of Montana, Wyom-
ing, Idaho, Oregon, Nevada, Utah,
Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.

TALK NOT THE THING
NOW.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Am imme-
date declaration of war against Aus
tro-Hungary was recommended to con-
kgress today by President Wilson. He
did not however. recommend decla-
ration against Turkey and Bulgaria at
this time. Immediate war on Austria,
he told congress, is necessary to meet
the anomalous situation the United
States faces in it's war with Germany.
The same logic, he said, would lead
to war against Turkey and Bulgaria
but they do not yet, he said, stand IN
the path of the United States in the
war against Prussian autocracy.
In ringing, definite terms the Presi-
dent declared nothing shall turn the
United States aside until the war is
won and Germany beaten. All talk OF
peace ne pronounced ouI VI 'h0 49,
ton. Peace could only come when the
German people make it through rulers
the world can trust and when they
make reparation for the destruction
the present rulers have wrought and
when Germany recedes from all terrific
nv acquied by armed conquest
