Population 526,s4s.
The report states that the estimated
population Of the District is now
526,24S persons, an increase Of more
than 10000 over the police census Of
November /, 1917 This estimate was
made by comparing the number Of
passengers carried on both street rail-
way lines during the month OF Oc-
tober, 1917, with those carried during
the same month this year.
The number Of fares collected in
tickets and cash on both Of the street
railway systems during October, 1917
was u,573.556 During October, 1918,
the number was 1885, go. or an in
crease OF 33.06 per cent This same
percentage, applied TO the police CEN
sus of last year Gives the District a
population of 526,24S. which is believed
to be- a fair estimate.
Regarding the operation OF the Sc
lective service act in the District, the
report states that nearly 5000 men
were indicted into military service

900 registrants Of Washington were

Soldiers In Police Force.

"nen Ine united states were thrown
into the war, the District OF Columbia
was found with the smallest police
force of any world capital, the report
states. The war made such serious
inroads on even this small force that
at one time the department had $50
vacancies out OF a force Of $50 men.
By an arrangement of fur1oughing
members OF the National Army to the
police department. the first arrange
ment of its kind ever worked out in
the history OF rle United States army,
the National Capital was assured of its
full quota OF police.
The police department had the most
successful year in the history of po-
lice investigation in the District 1t
closed the year With the most credit
able and unique reoord of any large
police department in the United States,
having finished the year with every
murder occurring during the year
cleared up and the parties charged
with the crime arrested
Washington, during the fiscal year
1918, had twenty-seven murders, the
second highest number in the history
of the city.
A fire loss Of slightly more than Is
per cent Of the premiums was noted
in the District during the fiscal year.
This IL q lower rate than enjoyed by
any State in the Union during the
same period, the report states The
work of IRE prevention performed by
the Fire Department has progressed
satisfactorily, the Commissioners de-
clare, and has proved to be one -

In another column the reader will
find letter from Jewish religious
and social worker at Camp Cody,
near Deming, N. M. According to
our correspondent, most of the Jew
ish boys in that camp are from Min
nesota, that is, the Twln-Citles.
This is corroborated by a letter we
received from the rabbi Of neigh
boring community there, who has
visited the camp. To promote the
religious and social life among our
boys there, it is suggested that we
here make a contribution that wall
enable them to purchase piano.
Surely, our boys are entitled to 1t.
Let us raise the necessary amount
as speedily as possible, and let us
show our boys there that their home
folks are with them in spirit. Send
your contributions to this fund to
the American Jewish World, and
their receipt will be acknowledged

1t was to be expected that as soon

called to; that libelous sentence in the
manual of, instructions for the medi-
zeal advisory boards which conduct
examinations of the army draft:
"The foreign born and especially
Jews are more apt to malinger than

What our leaders in the East should
now do is to try and discover who the
