Washington. Oct THE total pop
ulation of continental United States
is 105.6s3 10s. an increase of 1910
S42, or 14.9 per cent.
This figure does not include approx
mately 12,25O,O00 people living in the
country's outlying possessions. The

classed under the military and naval
service abroad are yet to be an

Director Rogers Of the census bu-
reau in making the announcement of
the country's population said that
while the figures were preliminary and
subject to correction, the final compila-
ton as transmitted to congress in De
cember for apportionment purposes,
was not likely to be greatly different,
although it might be slightly larger
through the addition of population for
small sections of territory claimed not
to have been properly canvassed by
the census enumerators in January and
which are being now reinvestlgated
1.-THE population of the United States
as announced yesterday" said Mr..
Rogers, lis 105 $50. 10S, as compared
with total in 1910 of 1872, 266 and
1900 of 75.994.575 This is an increase
since 1910 of 13.710.S42. or 149 per
cent, as compared with an increase
from 1900 to 1910 of 1897 SOL, or 81
per cent
''The large falling off in the rate of
growth as shown by these figures is
due mainly 10 an almost incomplete
cessation of immigration for more than
five years preceding the taking of the
census in January last. and in some
degree also to an epidemic of influ
enza and to the casualties resulting
from the World war.
1.-THE results of the census OF popu-
lation in 1920 at first glance may seem
somewhat disappointing and open to
question, possibly but the substantial
accuracy of the enumeration in Janu-
AIRY is fully borne out by comparison
with estimates based upon the prob
able excess of births over deaths
throughout the nPtdue anu IHP excess
of immigration over emigration. From
all available data it may be roughly
estimated that the annual excess of
births over deaths throughout the
United States is approximately one per
cent. This rate compounded would
Indicate an increase of approximately
1915 per cent during the decade Thus,
the nearly 92,000.000 persons present
In the United States in 1910 might be
expected to increase to about 101 ,700,-
900 in 1920
I'm addition, the excess of immigra-
ton over emigration during the decade
was approximately 733,000 Since the
bulk of these foreign born persons
came to the country during the first
four years of the decade it may be
estimated that the Increase
due to excess of births over deaths in
their families was about 10 per cent |
