COMPLETE CENSUS OF
TURKISH EMPIRE TO BE TAKEN
FIRST TIME IN ITS HISTORY
(By Associated Press. J

Amsterdam, Jan. 25.-For the first
time in the history of Turkey, a com,
plete census of the whole empire is
to be taken. A German statistician
has been appointed to superintend
the preliminary formalities. The
Turkish newspaper Sabah says: 1--WE
are the only nation in Europe not
excluding even the Balkan States
Which possesses no official statistics
OF our population.
The estimated population of Turkey
before the war was roughly 21.OOO,-
00C, of which 100000 were Turks.
100000 Arabs, 100000 Armen-
1ans, 100000 Greeks, 100000
kurds' and the remainder Druses,
Jews, and the smaller tribes. The
Turkish newspapers have recently
shown some anxiety as to the large
decrease in population lately, caused
ny the war and the prevalence of
diseases and have urged the gov
ernment to take steps to decrease
mortality and increase the birth
rate.
