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 IL useless to attempt
TO estimate population Of any other
units than states. Before that 1t was
possible to predict with fair de-
gree of accuracy the number OF per-
sons in any given locality.
The center of population 1t is be-
.ieved, has stopped IFS westward move
ment. which vas continuous from 1880
TO 1910, when it was located in Bloom
ington. Ind. This is because indus
trial cities in the central east. such
as Cleveland an6 Detroit, have been
growing at greatly increased rate
during recent years, as have manu-
featuring renters farther east. For
merry. the Rocky mountain and Pa
clfic coast states Increased in popu'
tatIon with twice the rapidity Of east
ern ana central states.
Notifications Are Seen.
During this year. however. certain
notifications of the usual situation
may be nude. The opening OF recla-
nation projects in the west, the ro-
sumption of immigration, and other
causes, it is thought. will change the
abnormal distribution. There will also
be tendency to return to normal
now that the war has ended.
Pronounced changes are expected
also in the constitution of the popn.
Iation''--the ratio of males to females
the proportions of native and for
efgn stock and the age distribution,
When city experiences 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 viii be more men
than women For example, in Okla
homa City, where the population grew
nearly 500 per cent between 1000 and
1910, the ratio of males TO females
in the Inter year was LOG to 100. and
GO per cent of The population was be-
tween Is and 45.
Percentage of Negroes Drops
The coming census is also expected
10 show a continuation of the move
ment from the country to the city,
which has been going on for many dec
AIDES. A further decrease in the pro
portion of negro population is e0
pected. In 1900 negroes numbered
li.6 per cent and in 1910 1917 per
cent.
II is expected that the percentage
OF coreign-born will show 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 win be found, it is predicted.
who are unable to speak English.
In 1910 this number was 2S.S pr
cent oil the population.
The law requires the census bureau
to make an actual count every ten
years, ami an estimate for cities and
states every year by arithmetical pro
gression. Since 1917, however, the bu-
reau has not estimated cities.

THE MAP or EUROPE

For several years now We have
known that the map Of Europe was
to be revised and the map Of Asia and
Africa also to some extent but, even
yet, It is not possible to say just how
the new lines will be drawn as there
are a number OF frontiers yet TO be
Fixed
one change, however, that appears
to he reasonably certain is tia. little
Rumania, which most Of us have
thought Of as one Of the small Bal
kan states, will hereafter appear eli
the map as one of the secondary pow
ers of Europe and with an area about
tho same as italy.
lumania was not truly Balkan
state but adjoined them on the north
and her history was much the came.
BY the treaty signed a month ago
with the allies Rumania gained the
rich Russian province Of Bessarabia
in addition to a section Of what was
formerly Austria-Hungary and slice
Of Bulgaria in the Danube delta
These editions make Rumania as
large as Italy and give her a popula-
ton of approximately 100000
No other active belligerent in the
war against Germany has varied so
much in extent Condemned by the
treaty OF Bucharest to lose half Of
Ter territory she has not only re-
gained her previous domain, but has
seen it successfully enlarged BY the
addition Of Tranoylyania nubowila
part Of the banate Of Temesyar and,
now Bessarabia
This makes an area eight times rs
large as Alsace.l4orraine. with a pop.
ulation ave times that Of the restored
French provinces Before the war
Rumanie's area was $4,000 square
miles and her population 100000.
Now her urea is 10000 square miles
and her opulaton is more than
doubled.
