Germany, Austria, Ireland and Rus sia, natives of which made up more than 59 per cent of the country's total foreign-born population ten years ago, showed heavy losses in the number of their natives in the United States dur ing the last ten years, census bureau statistics show. These losses aggre- gated almost 100000 and are believed to have been due largely to the World war, with it's consequent exodus of bel ligerent nationals, and the stoppage of immigration.
 Gerlnan-born showed loss of S1S,- 035, Austrian-born a loss of 600.014, Irish-born a loss of 316,571 and Rus sian-born loss of POS, ,7S3. While Germany had the largest loss numeri- cally, Austria's loss was relatively the largest, having been more than 5O per cent.
 Notwithstanding these heavy losses, the country's total foreign-born popu- Ilation, as just announced by the bureau of the census in a preliminary state ment prepared for the early use of congress, showed an increase of S5S,- 442, or 2.6 per cent, the total number of foreign born being 13.703,9S7. The in- crease is believed to have been the smallest both in numbers and percent age ever recorded for any decade. In the previous decade, 19O0-1O, the in- crease was 3.174,61O, or POT per cent. Germany in Lead. 1 Germany led as the country of birth of the foreign-born in the United States | ten years ago, with a total of more than 2,500,000, and still leads, although the number was reduced to 1,6S3,31S, a decrease of S1S,035. The number of natives of Germany have continued to show loss each decade since 1890, but the last decade decrease was the lar gest ever shown.
 The standing of other countries in the foreign-born population of the United States has changed somewhat from ten years ago. Italy has taken l second place from Russia with an in- crease of S64333 in the ten years, com pared with an increase of S59,O0O in the previous decade and total for 1920 of 1.o07@1S
 Ireland. which has shown decreases in each decade since 1880, had larger decrease during the last decade than in any previous. one, the loss having been 316,571, compared with decrease of 263, POS for 1909-10. The total num- ! Der of Irish-born in the United States in 1920 was 1,035.6sO. ranking that country fifth.
 Canada showed a decrease of S7,5Ol in the ten years, compared with an in- crease of 27,0O0 the previous decade. and dropped from fifth to sixth place. Total Canadians number 1,117,136
 Persons born in England numbered S12,414 which was decrease of 65,305 in the ten years, compared with an in- crease of S7,0O0 the previous ten years. England ranged seventh, which place she held ten years ago.
 Sweden continued to hold eighth place with total of 624,759. That was decrease of 4O,44S in the ten years,

up small army, and costing hun
dred> of thousands of dollars every
year. And all these Commissions are
making for more room, more money
and more people to aid them in their
work. That there is much waste of
labor and efficiency, and no little waste
of money, is apparent to all who are
familiar with the way public work is
done. For nearly year the govern
or has been making an exhausted
and thorough examination of all these
matters and has reached certain def
mite conclusions in regard to them. In
a short time therefore he proposes to
make certain recommendation as TO
what he thinks should be done, in order
to give the people time to consider
them NJ their leisure, and on their
merits. Heretofore Governors have
reserve their recommendation until
the opening of the General Assembly
when they have presented their views
and plans in messages to the two
Houses. The plan of the present
Governor seems to be great improve
ment over the old system. Making
it public months before the law body
meets, will give the people an OPP
portunity to look into ALL these mat
tiers for themselves, and will open
them for discussion during the cam
paign in which the men who are to
vote on them at Annapolis, will have
q chance to discuss them before the
people, and find out what they think
of them. In this way, the voters can
pass on the plans of the Executive at
the polls and he will find out whether
public sentiment is with him or
against him.
There is no doubt of the fact that
the Governors program is the most
revolutionary ever placed before the
people of Maryland, and will bring
about great changes in the effective
ness of the state government. There
is also no doubt that its enactment
will greatly reduce the expenses of the
public service, which has been going
on in Il Slipshod, inefficient way, as a
slow growth, ever since the Civil War,
now nearly sixty years ago. Most of
the officials during all that period of
time have been honest and faithful
men. and whatever evils have existed,
have been those of a system of adj
ministration, and legislation, which
the people of the state have long out
grown. Now that states as well as all
sorts of government are obliged to re-
trench and economic, it is well for
the people of Maryland to give con-
sideration to these problems a solution
of which the Governor is preparing to
propose TO them.
