100000 CoIored People.
ITO begin with. there are 100000
colored people, including negroes, In
dianS, Chinese etc. Then there are
1880. 900 people of foreign birth
among us In addition to these, there
are 14,00o,o00 children of foreign-born
fathers and mothers and $500. 900 chill
dren of foreign-born fathers and ma
tive vice versa. When all of these have
been deducted from the lOo,oNWu
only 54.o00,0OO remain of full white
native ancestry.
"Yet the 33,OO0,00O American people
who are of foreign stock-that is, for
eign born or the children Of foreign
born parent--inciude some of the most
illustrious citizens of our republic.
AN examination of the statistics of
American immigration shows that
since the foundation of our govern
ment the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland has contributed
s. 400, 600 of her people and Germany
more than 100000. Ireland, with
more than 100000; Great Britain,
with a little less than 4000,un, and
Scandinavia. with something less than
10000 have together with Germany,
contributed more than half of the total
immigration to our shores since the
beginning of the Revolutionary war.
"When we take the German immi-
grafton to the United States between
177f and 1890 and compare it with that
from other countries. a somewhat
startling result and one usually unsus
pected. is disclosed. The total arrivals
of aliens in those ia years aggregated
1850 900, of whom more than 5000
600 were British and Irish and do
900 were Germans, which shows that
one alien out of every three arriving
in America during more than cen
fury of our existence was German

from this number a proper deduction
ia made for those who returned to
their homeland and those who have
died since their arrival 1t will he seen
that there arc fewer than 100000 for
rncr subjects of the kaiser in this conn
trv who have not been here more than

1T is interesting 10 note the other
elements that have entered
into the makeup of American popula-
ton since 1916. More Irish people have
crossed the seas TO become part of us
than have remained behind.

production out OF the ordinary Is THE
Cabaret Girls" due today at the Court
theatre for an engagement Of two per-
formances.
Ben Holmes, the author, has devised
a particularly good book In which the
comedy interest Is well sustained. Earl
Shcehan has written some singable
lyrics and the music which is by Joe
Loudis. is the sort that your remember
after the show and wake UP whistling
the next morning. There is superior
cast which includes such representative
talent as Nanny King. who is quite 4
musician playing the violin and is
, known all over the circuit with his
funny saying I don't caro- ] play F>id-
die Fred Hackett. Dot Barnctte, Lcona
Fox, Bertha Startzman, Earl Sheahan
and Ben Holmes. There is beauty
chorus which is we'll calculated to make
the patrons of the front rows sit up and
take notice. The producers have spent
money almost rccklcssly in an attempt
to give the production the most lavish
mountingS OF any burlcsquc show and
they have certainly succeeded in So
curing unusual scenic and costume APP
