officer Weinstock picked UP the turtle
and held it off at what he considered

population Of the United States. and so
on in the case of every army to be
raised.
1t became very essential of course,
in order to make this apportionment
that an accurate idea should be had of
the population of the various states. In
view of the fast that the last federal
census OF population was taken in 1910
and there have been many shifts in the
currents of population since that time
the census bureau has found il a most
difficult matter to estimate population
accurately.
Prior to registration day the bureau
made an estimate Of the present popu-
lations of the states and on those esti-
mates computed its further estimates of
the numbers of conscriptable men
which the various states should furnish.
These estimates necessarily were OBJ
tanned by applying a cold arithmetica1
rule under which the estimate Of popu-
lation in 1917 was arrived at by pro-
jecting the ratio of increase during the
decade from 1900 to 1910. The esti-
mates thus obtained overshot the mark
ridiculously in some localities, and es-
pecially in the western states.
The result was that when the regis
tration returns came in these states.

been as heavy as anywhere in the Unit
ed States and the spirit of patriotism
had been as manifest as in any state

After the registration the question
arose as to whether the census esti-
mates should stand for the guidance OF
the authorities in imposing the draft.
1t was apparent if these excessive esti-
mates of population were not toned

whose population had been accurately
estimated.
The matter was taken UP by western
congressional delegations with Provost
Marshal General Crowder and Director
Of the Census Rogers. with the result
that it was decided to scale down the
estimates of population to conform to
the registration figures In other words,
the registration figures are accepted as
being approximately one hundred per
cent correct and and as a better index
to the population of the respective

through the pressure brought to bear
by the U. S. Steel corporation the work

otherwise.

Thousands of dollars in stacks are

detail work accomplished.
From a cursory examination it looks
as If the work was about half COM

The committee noted that nearly
every building was mounted with a

that the flags had been purchased for
all the buildings by the men them
