Walsh Predicted In March That Hard.
ing Would Be Nominee.
Kansas City, Montana, June 2S.-
Frank p. Walsh, former chairman
OF the Federal Industrial Relations
Commission, tonight made public

bring about the independence Of
Ireland Senator Hardings letter
as given out by Mr., Walsh, dated
March "a, last read as follows.
II have very strong conviction my.
self of the very great part played by
the Americans of Irish birth and an
Gently in the winning Of independence
and the making of our own great Unit
ed States. More than that, | have a
very great sympathetic feeling for the
movement to bring about the indepenf
dence OF Ireland and the establishment
of Irish nationality, which is the ma
tional aspiration Of any liberty-lovlng
people.
81 must confess | did not think well
of the insincere demonstration In the
Senate recently in handling reserva-
tion in behalf of Ireland in the reser-
yations OF the League of Nations
treaty. The insincerity of 1t was made
manifest when 16 Senators who press
ed the Irish reservation refused to
vote for the treaty after 1t was incor.
porated had the satisfaction myself
of casting a favorable vote after the in
corporation was made
Mr. Walsh also made public a letter
to Senator Harding asking the Senator
to correct the erroneous impression
which may have been created by the
qualified denial of yourself and secre-
tary that such letter had been writ.

Announcement was made at Senator
HardIngs office in Washington on June
10 that search OF the files there fail.

Chief statisticIan of Census Bureau
Makes That Calculation on Basis
Of Renort from 1406 Cities.

CnleI StatisuCtaH OF eScHsus ouN eau
Makes That Calculation on Basis
of Report from 1905 Cities.
Washington. d, G., June 26.-The
population of continental United
States is estimated at 10000, coo by
j. A, Hill. chief statistician of the
census bureau. His eaIcuafon is
based on, the combined populations of
1,4O6 cities and towns for which
statistics have been announced.
The increase over 1910 is placed at
about 100000, showing that the
growth of the country has not kept
pace with that in the previous decade
Almost complete cessation of immigra
ton during the war is the chief reason
assigned for the falling off in growth.
Other suggestions were the two in
iuenza epidemics, return OF aliens to
their native lands, and deaths of sol
diers abroad and at home during the
wa.
The aggregate population OF the cit
les and towns en- which the estimate
was made is 4,029.35. This Is an
average gain of &c per cent compared
with So per cent in the previous dec
ade.

Montpelier, June 24.-The Board of
Charities and Probation has been
checking up its work for the past three
years and finds to it's surprise that 1t

child work than was expected The
statistics show that It has taken 400
children of which $50 have had to go
to hospitals for treatment and that ac-
cording to statistics of child care, 40
of the little ones would have ceased
to live, but thus far not a single child
of the 400 taken by the board has
died which is in way a wonderful
record it is claimed by those we'll
