send Christmas boxes to their boys in
France on the theory that they are
moving about so that the mails will
not deliver the parcels. Attention is

the boys and should be sent

Into this section are crowded more than half of the entire population, three-quar- ters of all the foreign-born, and 32 of the 52 cities of more than 100, 900. Nearly half of our people are city dwellers-a revolution brought about by industrial evolution and the immi- grant invasion.
 Orientals in America comprise only ] F per cent. of all our foreign born population. But 95 per cent. of the Japanese and 50 per cent. of the Chinese live on the Pacific Coast. Far more alarming than their invasion of industry is that of pagan faiths. Or!- ental religions are spreading among Occidentals from New York to Hawai-. There are "A Buddhist temples in the United States alone.
 The Latin-American problem in cludes not only immigrants from Mex ico. but also from Spain, the West Indies, Portugal, Portuguese East Africa, the Philippines and South and Central America. In California alone there are now more Latin-Americans than there are Hindus, Chinese and Japanese in the entire country.
 Even in the more sparsely settled agricultural regions we find a foreign problem; there are the Bohemians 1T Nebraska, Germans, Swedes and Nor wegians in the Dakotas and Minnesota In the rural industrial field, also, we find thousands of our lumber jacks a full half of our million miners, for eign.-"World Outlook" for October.
