Went to Mexico

Washington, March 21.-- There are
about nine million persons of German
stock in the- United States, according
to information obtained by the United
Press from the census bureau of the
department of commerce.
The 1910 census shows that there
were in the United States at that time
8,232,615 persons of German extrac-
ton, distributed as follows: Born in
Germany 2,501 ,1S2; born n America Of
German parents 3,911,S47; born in
America and having one parent born
in America and another in Germany
1,S69, 500.
Of the 2,501,1s2 persons born in
Germany, 1,27S,56z were males 21
years old and over. Of these $4,000
were reported as naturalized, 92,030 as
having taken out their first papers and
l27, ,103 as aliens. The enumerators
were not able to ascertain any facts as
to citizenship of the remaining 170,527.
Records as to the number of Ger
mans who were returned to the father
land since the European war broke out
are not available.
Since the relations between Germany
and this country became strained the
number of males Gverl21 born in Ger
many has greatly decreased by reason
of the fact that thousands of these
Germans, most of whom are German
|reservists, have gone to Mexico
This exodus Of German reservists in
