GERMANS SEEK TRADE
W0rkmen Labor ID Hours a Day
to Be Ready.
London Merchant Finds Empire I5 Re-
cuperating Fastest of All
Nations.

LOndOn.-"Germany is out again to
beat the world" said the senior mem
ber of city firm.
81 have just returned from q visit
TO our commercial connections in
Switzerland. l met there the chair
man of an important firm of machine
manufacturers. He was obviously a
German, with his square head and bad
French, and for once | pretended TO be
pro-German, and spoke with him In his
own language.
HE let the cat out of the bag. All
the labor in the Schwarzwald and In
South Germany, where the allies have
no representatives, he told me, has re-
fused to recognize the eight-hour day.
1.-The men are working furiOusly,
without pressure of any sort, up to
fourteen hours day to be ready to
enter the worlds markets again at the
first opportunity.
"This German chairman Of Swiss
concern simply chuckled with glee
when he said: Our good German
workmen know their hands. They do
not want this easy day of eight hours
they want wealth, and they will have
It,
Germany is recuperating after the
war faster than any other nation,
simply because, instead Of giving way
to the reaction of peace and demand
ing the impossible by means of strikes,
she is working as hard as human
strength and brain allow to regain her
old commercial pinnacle and again be
the pre-war Germany.
I'm France, and among the allies
generally, there are traders who have
already forgotten the war and care
only to buy In the cheapest market.
Germany is out, repeat, to pro-
vide that market, and our eight-hour
Industrial day will spell disaster for
us IL we do not wake up"

CENSUS TO SHOW
GREAT CHANGES
Remarkable Shifts in Population
in United States Because
of European War.
CALCULATIONS Are UPSET
Figures for 1920 Expected to Reveal
Striking Changes In Growth
and Character Of Popula-
ton Of This Country.

MISUNDERSTANDING changes In
the growth and character of the popu-
latiOn Of the United States are ex-
pected to be shown by the 1920 CEN
sus, preparations for which are under
way.
The shifting of population because
of the war has upset the calculation
of census experts who since 1917
have considered 1t useless to attempt
to estimate population Of any other
units than states. Before that 1t was
possible to predict with a fair de-
gree of accuracy the number Of per-
sons In any given locality.
The center of population" 1t is be-
lieved, has stopped it's westward move
ment, which was continuous from 1870
to 1910, when it was located In Bloom
ington, Ind. This is because indus
trial cities In the central east, such
as Cleveland and Detroit, have been
growing at a greatly increased rate
during recent years. as have manu-
featuring centers farther east. For
merly, the Rocky mountain and Pa
cific coast states increased in popu-
lation with twice the rapidity Of east
ern and central states.
Notifications Are Seen.
During this year. however, certain
notifications of the usual situation
may be made. The opening Of recla-
nation projects in the west, the re-
sumption of immigration, and other
causes, II is thought, will change the
abnormal distribution. There will also
be a tendency to return to normal
now that the war has ended.
Pronounced changes are expected
also in the Constitution Of the popu-
lation"-the ratio of males to females,
the proportions Of native and for
eign stock and the age distribution.
When a city experiences a rapid
growth due 10 industrial and COM
mercial activity the gain in population
is largely made up Of persons In the
young and early middle ages. Among
these persons there will be more men
than women. For example, In Okla
homa City, where the population grew
nearly 500 per cent between 1900 and
1910, the ratio of males to females
in the latter year was 126 to 100, and
62 per cent of the population was be-
tween Is and As.
Percentage Of Negroes Drops.
The coming census is also expected
to show a continuation Of the move
ment from the country to the city.
which has been going on for many dec
ades. A further decrease In the pro-
portion of negro population Is ex-
pected. In 1900 negroes numbered
11.6 per cent and in 1910 107 per
cent.
It is expected that the percentage
Of foreign-born will show a marked
decline, due to the discontinuance of
immigration. In recent years the ma
tive-born population did not increase
as rapidly as the foreign-born. Fewer
persons will be found, IL is predicted,
who are unable to speak English.
In 1910 this number was 2S.8 per
cent of the population.
The law requires the census bureau
to make an actual count every ten
years, and an estimate for cities and
states every year by arithmetical pro-
gression. Since 1917, however, the bu-
reau has not estimated cities.

ENGLAND FROWNS ON LOTTERY.

The British house OF commons a sensible
stand in disappearing by a vote of 27s 81 the
proposal that the government issue premium bonds
This only polite way Of advocating that the
government conduct lottery.
Under the scheme certain of the bonds TO be
drawn by chance would command a premium-that
is. would pay the holders at maturity a sum
greatly in excess OF face value. With the gambling
element injected into the transaction was argued
that the bonds could be disposed OF more readily
than any other form OF loan.
But, serious Great Britain's financial difficult
ties may be- they hardly have reached a state where
the government could be excused for giving the
stamp OF its approval a gambling scheme. The
adoption OF the plan could have other than a
demoralzing effect. With the government conduct
ing lottery the sensitveness of the people to the
immortality of gambling would dulled
1t is interesting to that Lady Astor cast her
first against premium bonds Thus she begins
her parliamentary career by taking stand which
will meet with general approval.
Miss jeanette Rankin who recently represented
Montana district in the American congress would
probably have voted for thern-just she voted on
many things. different. merely to show mere man"
