INTERESTING FIGURES
ON C|TY'S POPULATION
If Growth of Former Period Was
Maintained, Wilmington
Has o8,774.

A compilation Of census figures for
previous decades has been made, which
offers some interesting comparisons
The population Of The State grew from
59.O96 in 1890 10 202 ,322 in 1910
Wilmington had 2,535 people IN 1890,
and 87,4l1 in 1910 by the same compila-
ton.
The figures by counties for the 1910
census were 123, ,1sS for New Castle
county, 46,4l3 for Sussex and 81, ,72l for
Kent a noteworthy fact regarding this
latter figure is that it Is less by IL than
the total for 1900; that is, Kent county
had al more people in 1900 than it had
in 1910
As q rule, however, the gains have been
steady and have in detail followed pretty
closely the ratio deducible from the gen
eral figures.
If the ratio Of growth of Wilmington
from 1900 TO 1910 should be found to
apply, this would, it has been computed,
indicate 98,774.43 for the 1920 figure,
and this is close 10 the estimates Of those
who have followed the matter.

Hy AsssJei4tF1 Press 10 hV1ry Evening
Constantinople Tuesday, Jan ~
Turkey became involved in the great war
through the machinati0ns Of the war
party led by Fnvpr Pasha, War Minister
IN 1914, according 10 statements before
secret parliamentary committee which are
published in newspapers here. The arrival
III the German cruiser Goelren in August,
1914. was the dominating cause Of Turkey
becoming an ally Of the central powers.
When the war broke ont, the newv-
payers say, the majority of the Turkish
cabinet was friendly to the entente The
war party. however began attempts to
persuade a sufficient number Of ministers
that Turkey should acquire the Goeben
to take the place Of Turkish ships which
had been req,Iisitioned by England Oh
lection was made that the CtoeiSen which
had arrived here after fleeing from allied
warships IN the Mediterranean, would
attack Russian vessels while under
Turkish colors, but Enver Pasha declared
the commander Of the cruiser had pledged
himself not to.make any such attack In
reply to this assurance David Beg, then
finance minister, remarked the admiral
would be more likely 10 stand by his
word than the German war lord.
The cabinet decided to oppose Germany
IN the war and agreed that when Turkey
took her stand ON the side Of the entente
the Goeben and her sister ship, the Bres-
lau, would be bombarded 10y the Bos-
phorus forts.
Enver Pasha. however. made secret
arrangements with the Germans and the
Goehen joined the Black Sea fleet, even
the grand Vizier being kept In ignorance
of the move.
On August 10, 1914, the Goeben came
in contact with Russian fleet and, while
flying the Turkish flag attacked and de-
stroyed two. Russian ships. This act
brought about Turkeys alignment against
the entente and several members OF the
cabinet resigned The facts were mis-
represented by the censors and the
Turkish public Even the Sultan believed
for several years that the Russians at
