Industrial cities in the central East, such as Cleveland and Detroit have been
growing at a greatly increased rate during the recent years, as have manu-
featuring centers farther east. Formerly, the Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast states increased in population with twice the rapidty of eastern and
central states.
During this year, however, certain notifications of the unusual situation
may be made. The opening of reclamation projects in the West, the resump
ton of immigration, and other causes, it is thought, will change the abnormal
distribution. There will also be a tendency to return to normal now that the
war is ended.
Pronounced changes are expected also in the constitution of the popma
stock and the age distribution.

was an international social event. When the war began Mumm returned tc
Germany, while the wife remained in France and rendered service to the
allied armies a s a nurse. She and her husband reached an agreement which
was filed at the American legation in Berne under which she was to receive
a share Of his estate. 1t was impossible for her to reach the German courts
or apply for a divorce IN them.
Under the peace treaty the property Of German citizens was subject to
confGaton in France. Such procedure would cause Mrs. Mumm to lose her
share, which is said to be a large sum-. Representations were made to the
French authorities and regret ws expressed by them that no alternative
remained but loss for her under the present circumstances. It was pointed
out that IL she were an American citizen the situation would be entirely
different. 6M
Mrs. Mumm hastened here and Senator Capper introduced a joint resdu-
ton restoring her citizenship. II this can be accomplished before her hs-
bands property is cou6scated her share will not be affected by the peace
treaty M1MHm
The case is being eagerly watched by others whose interests have become
involved because Of property holdings In Germany and other countries which
