LESS FOREIGNERS
In AMERICA NOW

WASHINGTON, Apr. 24-Germany
Austria, Ireland and Russia, natives
OF which made up more than SO per
cent of the country's total foreign
born ten years ago. showed heavy
losses in the number of their natives
in the United States during the last
ten years, census bureau statistics
show. These losses aggregate almost
100000 and are believed to have
been due largely to the world war,
with its consequent exodus of belliger-
ent nationals and the stoppage of i'm
migration.
German-born showed a loss of S1S,-
OBS, Austrian-born a loss of 600,O14.
Irish born loss of 316,571 and Rus
sian born loss of 203,7S3 While
Germany had the largest loss numeri-
cally. Austria's loss was relatively the
largest having been more than so per
cent.
notwithstanding those heavy losses.
the country's total foreign born pop
ulation, as just announced by the bu-
reau of census in a preliminary state
ment prepared for the early use of
congress, showed. an increase of $685.
442. or 2.6 per cent, the total number
of foreign born being 13,703,987. The
increase is believed to have been the
smallest both in number and percent
age ever recorded for any decade. In
the previous decade, 1900-10 the in
crease was 3,i74,610, or 20.7 per cent.

Two Weird Games Are Played at Fort

The Army and Navy league pre-
sented two wierd games at Fort Bar

and the Operations team from the
station defeated the 3rd Company

The first game was featured by the
fine pitching and fielding of Hughes
Of the Soldiers, who famed ii of the
"Pill-rollers'' in seven innings. Due
to poor support, the Sailors led until
the sixth inning when six hits coupled
with three errors gave the Artillery
men four runs and the game. Sim
monds pitched fine game also but
weakened in the sixth and his team
faltered behind him.
