REGISTRATION FOR
DRAFT IS 9,569,382

Washington, June 26.-Oflcial war
registration returns, with Niagara
county n Y, and three Wyoming pre-
cincts missing, show a total enroll
ment of 1859 1882, or approximately SO
per cent of the census bureaus esti-
mate. The apparent shortage is more
than Offset by the number of men in
the army and navy who were not re-
quired to register.
OF the registrants reported, 7347,-
T94 are white citizens, 953,SS9 colored,
l,239,865 unnaturalized foreigners
from countries other than Germany,
111,S23 unnaturalized Germans, includ-
ing those who have taken out their
first naturalization papers, and 6,00f
Indians.
The abnormal shifting OF population
since the census OF 1910 caused the
census bureau to overestimate or fall
short of it's figures in several states,
but as the excess in some states serv.
ed to compensate for the discrepan-
cies In others the general total was
not materially affected.
