According to a statement. from
Washington, it is said that the Amer
lean navy as a healthy, aggressive
fighting machine has been sadly Grip
pied since the signin of the armis-
tice, and, accordin to testimony of
the most competent authorities, it is
bordering on state of degenera-
ton that is causing the gravest
alarm in all ranks.
And the secret of this condition
is found in the fact that the fleet
is so short of men, both officers and
crews, that if it were confronted
with any sudden emergency, the de-
partment itself doubts if it could be
met without peril. Neither the At
lantic nor the Pacific fleet could be
made ready for battle for weeks.
Back of this shortage of men is
the fact that the government is not
army either, for that matter-a liv-
ing wage. designations at an alarm
ing rate are being received from
the commissioned personnel, and
hundreds of those of the enlisted per-
sonnet are deserving, while the re-
enlistment of those whose preiods of
service are expiring is almost i'm
possible of accomplishment.
1t is declared that assertions alone
amount to something like 10000 a
year.
Meantime many of the finest ships
of the navy are unable to go into
commission Or to stay in active serv-
ice because of inadequate crews.
Some of these great vessels are tied
up for indefinite periods, and the de-
partment is wondering where the men
are to come from to man the ships
soon to be delivered by the builders.
Thousands of New York families,
some of the 1914 registered as
homeless" by the tenement house
department, are expected to live in
tents furnished by the United States
army. until the present housing
dearth is remedied, according to
men interested in the building trade
in New York state.
The new national phonetic system,
by which the Chinese language has

Census SURPRISES
n the census figures announced so far
1 may be taken as indicating the gen
n oral drift the conntrY's population

~ the census figures announced SO 1ar
- NAV be taken as indicating the gen
- eral drift, the countrys population
has been growing either at a different rate
or in different direction from that COM
monty taken for granted. Consider the four
hundred twenty-eight cities whose canvasses
have been completed. In these the popula-
ton increase for the 1900-1910 period was
twenty-eight and four-tenths per cent. But
for the decade covered in the present report,
it appears as only twenty-one and nine
tenths per cent On this basis the nation 8
total will be around one hundred and six
million instead Of one hundred and ten mil
lion, as popularity expected.
According to the census Of 1910 the con-
tinental United States numbered ninetyone
million, nine hundred and seventytwo thou
sand, two hundred and sixty-six inhabitants.
The official estimate for 1918 was one hum
dred and five million, two hundred and fifty
three thousand, three hundred. 1t was on the
assumption that this rate of increase had
obtained and would continue that the predic-
ton Of minimum of one hundred and ten
million for 1920 was ventured
How is the apparent falling off to be ex-
planned? Partly, perhaps, by a decline in
immigration during the decade, particularly
in the war years; between three and four
million individuals thus can be accounted
for. 1t may turn out, however, that the
aggregate gain is much larger than returns
from these four hundred and twenty-eight
cities indicate. "War conditions and espe-
cially industries" the Sun and New
York Herald points out, made unprece-
denied shifts in the population
1t is thus possible that the expected num-
bers are here, but differently distributed.
The most pleasing surprise, though one
hardly to be hoped for, would show the urban
shortage balanced by rural gain.

of pork products. The main cooler
is designed with a purpose Of con-
serving as much of the cooled-air as
possible, with hollow tiled walls. in
which the air current will act as a
protectorate for any warm-air blasts.
