COUNTRY MAKES
A SMALL GAIN
POPULATION TOTAL FOR 1920
FIXED AT 1o5,6e3, ,1oe-SHoWS
INCREASE OF 13,71o,s42.
Emigration, War and Influenza Blamed
For Relatively Light Growth, Head
of Census Bureau Says-Nation's
Farms Number 6,459,ee9

WashngtOn.-Th total population
of continental United States is 1O5,-
6S3, los, an increase of 13,71OS42, or
l4.9 per cent, the Census Bureau an
nounced. This figure does not include
approximately 12,230,O0O persons liv-
ing in the country's outlying posses
the total claSsed under the military
and naval service abroad yet are to be
announced.
Director Rogers, Of the bureau, in
making the announcement of the coun-
try'S population, said that while the
figures were preliminary and subject
TO correction, the final official popu-
latiOn, as transmitted To Congress:
in December for apportiOnment pur-
poses, was not likely to be greatly diff
ferent, although it might be slightly
larger through the addition of popu-
latiOn for small stations of territory
claimed not to have been canvassed
properly by the census enumerators in
January and which now are being in
NpStigated.
THE population of the United
States as announced" said Mr.. Rog-
ers, is 1O5,S63, 1OS, as compared with
a total in 1910 Of 81 ,972, ,266 and in 1900
of 75,994,575. This is an increase
since 1910 of 13,71O,S42, or 149 per
cent. as compared with an increase
from 1900 to 1910 Of 1877 ,691. or 21
per cent.
The large falling off in the rate of
growth for the country as whole as
shown by these figures is due mainly
to an almost complete cessation of i'm
migration for more than five years
preceding the taking of the census in
January last, and in some degree also
to an epidemic of influenza and to the
casualties resulting from the World
War. The results of the census of
population in 1920 at first glance may
seem to- be disappointing somewhat
and open to question possibly, but the
substantial accuracy Of the enumera-
ton in January fully is borne out by
comparison with estimates based upon
probalte excess Of births over deaths
throughout the decade and the excess
of immigration over emigration
The figures of the present census
also show that the trend of popula-
On from the country to the city has
become accentuated greatly since 1910.

AGONY OF DYING CITY Barred
Untold Suffering in Petrograd AS Re-
suit of Sovietism-FiIth and Dis
ease Stalk the Streets.

PariS.-A graphic eyewitness de-
ScriptiOn of the fearful conditions eX-
listing in Petrograd is given by the
Finnish Red Cross in an appeal just
issued to the Red Cross Societies of
the world. 1t is accompanied by docu-
ments prepared by Prof. Zeidler,
formerly head of the Petrograd Red
Cross, but now refugee in Finland.
The documents, which reached the
Paris Bureau of the American Red
Cross, tell the story of the agony of IL
dying city.
Petrograd's present population,
based on food cards, now is frol.:
100000 to 100000, and the former
capital of the Cars is described as
having shrunk to one fourth it's pre-
war size.
The report, in part, says:
Death stalks on every side, wait

work of moving down fhe silent,

THE mortality has reached Il stare

and unsanitary conditions of houses
and streets. Fat has left the ma jor-
ity of the population long ago. Al
present the muscular tissue is CON

on a wax-like color.
The report concludes as follows:
