MOVEMENT EAST
~ ~ BY POPULATION
OF UNITED STATES

Washington.-Th decennial census,
now being taken, will reveal that the
center of population of the United
States has moved eastward and not to-
ward the west or the south as COM
monty predicted, J. A. Hill, statlst-
clan of the census bureau, predicted
in an address at the National press
club.
The 1910 census showed the CEN
ter of population in Bloomington lnd.'
and in 1900 the center was some tltty
miles eastward, or near Columbus OF
the same state. Preliminary reports
thus far received, said Mr.. Hill, while
revealing the eastward movement, do
not contain sufficient figures to make
any estimate of the extent OF the east
ward movement.
After.the-war movement to the east
ern cities, together with the wartime
growth of the eastern industrial cen
tiers, the census statistician said, have
more than counteracted the normal
westward movement of population.

The high cost of living problem, the

duty ,or less and less will there be
of farm produce to divide among the

THE farmers of America" says Sec
Rotary Meredith, ARE willing to as
sumo their part of the responsibilities
as American citizens in meeting any
problem threatening the welfare ana
stability of our country, but this hlgh
cost of living problem is mutual one,
and they ask that it be approached
by all the people as a common prop

and not put so great a burden upon

IN other words, they ask that there

of distributors as is necessary to per
form the services required. They ash
that the banks, railroads, wholesale

GERMANY DEFIES
ALLIED POWERS
GOVERNMENT DETERMINED NOT
TO SURRENDER THOSE Ac-
cusED OF WAR CRIMES
WANTS TREATY MODIFIED
Government Issues Proclamation Reit-
Grating Opposition To Extraction
Demand OF The Allies

Berlin.-The German government
probably will be willing to surrender
its nationals charged with war crimes
to be tried by a neutral tribunal, II
the entente will agree, says the Ma
tional Zeitung. The Swiss govern
ment, the newspaper says, has declar-
ed it's readiness to arrange such
tribunal.
Persons well informed deny the ex-
istence of a government crisis, ana
the Prussian cabinet has unananl-
mously endorsed the national cabl-
nets attitude, which is unaltered.
This may be regarded as symptom
of the spirit in which the entente de-
mands are being met, all preeminent
politicians condemning the allied edict-
A member of the government IS
quoted by the press as saying: The
government is still endeavoring to find
a way out by further negotiations
II is believed the government Will
attempt to obtain a modification OF
the peace treaty respecting extradl-
ton. If it is unsuccessful, it Will, so
to speak, fold its arms and let events
take their own course, according TO
prevalent opinion. Already, it is re-
ported, the German airmen detailed 10
accompany the entente commission OF
control have refused to perform their
duties.
A scrutiny of the extradition list
shows Belgium and France have de-
manded the surrender of all the Ger
man generals who commanded on the
west front in 1914 except General Won
Heeringen. Why the Grand Duke OF
Hesse is listed is a mystery, says me
Tageblatt, as he only once visited the
front.
Field Marshal Won Buelow told the
Lokal Anzieger that Germans whose
names are on the list of those whose
extradition is demanded by the allies
"only did their duty to the father
land and that extradition was lg
nomy to which mo German could vol
unfairly submit"
The field marshal declared he would
never place himself at the disposal
the entente nations and expressed tn
belief that most of the commander
took the same view.
