emergency, a census Of the automo-
 piles and motorcycles of the state and
 census of all doctors and nurses. The
 automobile census lists in six classes
 motor trucks, pleasure cars and motor
 cycles available for war service. The
 medical census contains complete lists of nurses, physicians, surgeons, den- tists and other medical practitioners who have volunteered for emergency service.
 The industrial inventory of the mill itary census has been of vast value to the state and nation. The govern ment has been put in touch with many manufacturers of war supplies and factories able to adapt their processes to war work because of it. This in- ventory is now being used effectively by the committee on industrial sur vey of the Connecticut State Council of Defense.
 The military census has proved its
 value for civic purposes in several l ways. Several towns have asked for | complete lists of the men in their | towns whose names are carried On the census list. The military census has also earned a considerable amount ok
 money by disclosing the name of many men who have in past years failed to | pay their personal taxes and would probably have continued without pay | ing unless the census had been taken These. according to. the custodian of l the census results, are but a few of
 many ways in which the census has
 proved it's value. Other details can l not, for obvious reasons be known
 until the war is over.

Connecticut census has been commits
 stoned in the army and is working In
 Washington in connection With the
 tabulation of the federal census.
 Connecticut. with one of the largest
 alien populations of any state, was able as soon as the war started to learn
 how many of it's residents were aliens.
 which were subjects of allied nations,
 which were subjects of Germany and
 the other central powers, which were
 neutral and which of the aliens had
 taken out their first citizenship pa
 pers. The census further disclosed
 how these aliens were distributed and
 in which centers, for example. there were a large number of enemy aliens.
 When the need became evident for putting lists of enemy aliens in off, cial hands, it was possible for Con-
 necticut because of the military cen sus, to aid the nation by furnishing to | the proper authorities, list classified by towns of all men in the state 1n- cluded in the provisions of the proc lama tion. In addition, lists of Canadians and subjects of Great Britain have been
 furnished to the Canadian and British governments for the use of their re-
 cruting commissions, and similar lists of enemy, friendly or neutral aliens can be furnished in the future to any
 authorities who need them.
 Complete lists of aliens classified by nationality have been prepared for the use of the federal government and especially the Connecticut State Coun Gil of Defense to be used in mailing list Informative and patriotic liter ature prepared especially for distribu- | al Pj1 or n | languages is being sent out from time | to time to various groups of aliens by 1 tine councils committee on foreign | bern population. Among other things
 the census made aliens record them selves definitely as aliens or declar- ants. Many men who have lived ir this country for years and were popu- | larly thought to be citizens were dis closed .: as aliens. One effect of this l disclosure was a great increase ill the
 number Ut applications for citizenship applications that had been deferred

criticism of extravaganza there was
