Estimate of Population Of.
Wisconsin Cities Gives ke-
nosha Banner For
Best Growth.
POPULATION IS 42,742.
Kenosha Is Now Fifth In wisconsin In
Population and Other Cities Must
Hurry 10 Hold Places When Federal
Count Is Made Next Year.

That the population of Kenosha has
doubled in the past nine years and that
the city has had a larger proportionate
growth than any of the cities of Wis
consin, IS shown by the report Of the
Newspaper Feature Syndicate which
was made public in Racine on Monday
and which places the present population
OF Kenosha at 42,742 as compared with
2l,37l, the population of the city
shown by the United States census
made in 1910.
The figures are made by comparing
school census reports and using these
in connection with the figures which
have been secured from year to year
by the United States Census Bureau IN
Washington The figures given in this
report are within a few hundred of the
estimate of the population Of kenosha
as made by the Kenosha Evening News
when figures Of the school census We're
announced short time ago. The esti-
mate of population given out by the
syndicate would indicate that Racine
lis second in proportionate growth in
Wisconsin and it shows that the pop
ulation Of Racine is now 1852 as COM
pared with 38,o22 in 1910. Under the
statement Of the company making the
estimate, Kenosha is credited with be-
ing the fifth city Of Wisconsin. The
figures do not give the estimated pop
Iulation Of Milwaukee at this time.
With this encouragement the Keno
sha boosters are still hopeful that the
1920 federal census will Show Kenosha
to have fifty thousand people. With
the building Of many new homes and
the increase in the number of men en-
ployed in the various industrial institu-
tions Of the city and county, it is ex-
pected that there will be very large
increase in the population Of the city
in the next ten months. People who
have made study Of the problem are
convinced that the population viii pass
the $4,000 mark before the report of
the census takers is completed.
The population Of the leading cities
in Wisconsin as given by the estimate
Of the eastern bureau, is as follows:

CRIMSON WRITES TO FRIEND
 OF PRESIDENTS CONDITION

New York. Oct. 14.-Te New York World tomorrow morning will print the following excerpts of a letter from Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, Pres ident Wilson's personal physician, to an unnamed friend in New York. The publication was authorized by Admiral Grayson.
 T do not know of any disease that has not been included in the rumors about the president. If I tried to re- flute all these rumors that have been time to devote to the president profes- sionally.
 T have not followed this course and I do not intend to do so. I agree with yOu-I wish I was similarly afflicted if I could be as mentally alert as the president.
 I can sincerely say that his mind is as good as 1t ever was since l have know him.
 T hope the time will not be far dis tant when it vii be considered safe to permit him to resume work when his actions and words will speak for them selves. <
 AS he gains in strength his case he is so very anxious to get back to work.
 All the doctors I have called in agree that absolute rest and quiet IS essential to complete recovery. My great difficulty is to keep him from becoming irritated as a result of the rest treatment for if he should strain himself too severely complications might result. I believe you can ap- preciate the trying situation with which I am laboring."

Rome, Monday, Oct. 13. = Foreign Minister Tittoni, who left Rome today for conference with King Victor Emmanuel at the royal shooting lodge at San Rossore en route to the petce conference, expressed confidence be- fore his departure that. his new pro posal for the settlement of the Plume and Dalma tian problem would be re- ceived with favor since, he declares it pr; H-ically accepts the proposal of President Wilosn in regard 10 Plume He asks only the annexation of the district of Volosca. lying between Fi- ume and Triest, to Italy in order to es tablish join boundary between the enlarged kingdom of Italy and the pro- posed buffer state, Fiume.-
 This insignificant annexation of a little strip of land and a few thous- and inhabitants," as it is character ized here. would have. he argues, the triple advantage of preventing Plume from being entirely surrounded by Jugoslavia, avoiding contact between Italy and Jugoslavia- and of affording a certain moral satisfaction to the 1talinans, thereby facilitating the cab-i inet's task of inducing them to &C., cept the compromise
 A another feature of his proposal. Minister Tittoni asked that the, island of I.aGosta be added to the other Dal- matian islands assigned to Italy under the original division of these islands between Italy and Jugoslava.
