The peculiar feature OF the census
Of New York city is that it has not
for years, so far as nationalities are
concerned, represented correspond
ing condition throughout the coun-
try. There are nationalities of which
a very large proportion remains in
this city. This is notably the case
, with the class of Italians and Rus
sians-the most numerous OF New
York's foreign elements-who arrive
at this port.
The immigrants from Scandina-
Wan countries, the elements which
show the greatest falling off in the
New York census of 1920, have not
been remaining in New York or on
the Eastern seaboard but have gone
to the forest or agricultural lands of
the Northwest. With the people Of
several Of the southeast and eastern
European countries there is a some
what similar condition in that many
! of the Serbs, Montenegrins, Croats
and Poles move almost directly from
Ellis Island to the mines of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio or the Rocky Mountain
region.
New York city has ever in the past
shown a wonderful capacity for TAX
ing care of the foreigners who have
come seeking a home. The big town
assimilates them and makes them
a part Of its life. That is one Of the
measures Of its strength; that is one
reason Of it's greatness.

sCHUMANN CLUB CONCERT.
Womcn's Chorus II Assisted b.
Chamber Music Association.

The Schumann Club, women's
chorus Of sixty voices. Percy Rector
Stephens conductor, gave its second
concert last evening in Aeolian Hall.
The club was assisted by the Chambex
Music Association and Harold Osborn
Smith at the plano. Organized as a
chorus nine years ago, the choir gave It's
farewell concert last night as a body of
women's voices. It's purpose has been
to learn the details of ensemble singing
and to promote the development Of mu-
steal literature for chorus of women's
voices.
Mr.. Stephens has said that where the
club now stands. 1t can do little more
future work except 1t be to repeat what
1t has already accomplished. Next sea-
son the choir will have been reorgan-
lied into a mixed chorus.
Last night the program comprised
German and French songs of admirable
selection, five Czecho-Slovak folksongs.
Deems Taylor's "Chambered Nautilus"
and for the third number Wolf-Fer-
raris "Kammersymphonie," opus 8. The
Czecho-Slovak folksongs. repeated by
request from the clubs first concert
season. with many of the other songs
in the list, had been arranged for this
choir by Mr.. Taylor. The folksongs and
the French and German lyrics were
sung in their original tongues.
The program was very warmly re-
ceived by the large audience. The sing
ers. robed In gowns of different and
charming colors, made pleasing pic
ture. Their performance was praise
worthy for precision. clear enunciation
and no little finish and spirit.

Polyglot New York.

New York has long known that
she is the cosmopolis of the world
1t she ever for a moment forgot it
the after dinner speakers in address
ing the assembled sons Of some for
eign nation would take occasion to
remind them of the proportion of
New York's population which they
represented and as matter of COM
parison would show them that there
were more Irish here than in Dublin
and more Germans than in Munich.
Statements of this kind are interest
ing, but after all, as New York is
the greatest seaport in the western
hemisphere and has stood for many
years as the principal gateway to the
New World, there seems nothing par.
ticularly strange in her strongly cos
mopolitan character.
The New York Census Committee
in reporting it's count for 1920 goes
not into such glittering generalities
but produces figures which give a
definite understanding of the compo-
sition of the city's population. The
Russians, who lead among the foreign
born, In 1920 numbered 994,356: the
Italians, who come next, numbered
S02,S93. These two nationalities to-
gether would represent a city as
large as any Continental city of Eu-
rope with the exception of Berlin
and Paris. Comparing the numbers of
these two nationalities here with
cities OF their native lands we find
that the Russians represent about
$4,000 more than the population of
Warsaw, while the number of Ital-
ians in New York is 100000 greater
than the population of Naples.
And New York is still growing.
The Health Department estimate of
New York city's population as of
July 1, 1922, based on the Federal
census OF 1920, gives these figures
for the five boroughs.

baseball, serves notice on those who
are preparing a petition asking for
the reinstatement OF the greatest
batter the national game has known
that they will have their trouble for
their pains.
Ruin and MEUsEL deliberately dis
obeyed the mandate OF the commits
sloner last fall and were sentenced
to exile from the game until May 20
and to pay fines. Judge LANDS
seems to think that merciless sever
ity Is what the artistic temperament
requires when it rebels. In theory
he may be right.
AS regards discipline, it matters
nothing that RUTH is a popular idol
because OF his unusual standing as
the home run king. Indeed, for the
very reason that he can drive ball
further than his fellows he should set
a good example for the rank and
file OF the profession.
Like many others that excel in
sport the Bambino is temperamental.
Successful jockeys have the same
characteristic. Many OF the best
riders have to be handled with kid
gloves by the men who pay them big
salaries. The turf authorities, how.
ever, have punished violations OF the
rules with severity.

Coal Cost Initiation.

Anthracite coal is not comparable
as an industrial factor with bitumi-
nous coal. The cost of anthracite, i'm
portant as 1t Is to the household in
the north Atlantic States, has moth
ing like the national Importance the
cost Of the vastly greater bituminous
mass has. But what has happened
in very recent years to the labor
costs Of the hard coal production is
illuminating as to the relationship Of
labor costs to all coal production.
In 1917 the anthracite production
of the country was 74,0O0,000 tons
and the wages paid for producing it
amounted to S145,000.000. That was
at the average rate Of about $1.96 a
ton, labor cost.
In 1918 the production was 72,000,-
900 tons and the wage bill for it
S195, 5,735, 900! That was at the rate
Of about $2.72 ton, labor cost.
In 1919 the production was 66,000,-
900 tons; wage bill $225, 100000. That
was at the rate of about $3.41 ton,
labor cost.
In 1920 the production was 65,500,-
900 tons; wage bill s252,175,0 1000. That
was at the rate of about $3.S5 ton,
labor cost.
SAMUEL D. WARRINER, spokesman
for the hard coal operators in the
scale negotiations, estimates that in
1921 the anthracite production was
81, ,000, 900 tons for domestic use and
the payroll for producing it $260,000,-
600. That was at the rate of about
$4.90 a ton-not far from $5 ton
for the labor at the mine. Only a
few years ago the New York house
holder could have his bin filled with
the winter supply Of anthracite at
the retail price Of S. ton.
At the same time the haulage cost
of getting the coal from the mine to
the consumer has about doubled, as
the labor cost Of getting the coal out
of the ground has more than doubled.
Isn't it pretty nearly time, when the
whole country has been devoting it.
self to squeezing some of the war
imitation out of all the other neces-
saries Of life and the luxuries too,
that some Of the imitation should be
squeezed out of anthracite prices,
beginning where the costs begin
mining the coal and shipping the
coal?
The 2O,00O,000 hard coal consum-
ers of the Eastern part OF the coun-
try demand consideration in the set
tlement of this question.

The Little Deaths.

One mourns some tragic little death
each day
Old fancies fade. old loves come to an
end.
And old beliefs one counted on must
bend
Before harsh facts, and so upon their
way
Old, cherished dreams must vanish In
the gray,
Drab spaces OF reality; old beauties
change
As ones developed tastes seek wider
range
And ancient standards drop into decay.
Yet new beliefs from old shall rise
again,
And fresher beauties, though the first
are gone,
And other loves. like blossoms. after
rain
That buried older blooms before the
dawn:
For every death shall be another birth,
AS spring each year revlvi1es old earth.

According to this computation
Manhattan will have lost 12,211 in
habitants from January 1. 1920, to
July 1, 1922; Brooklyn will have
gained 9S,S71 in the same thirty
months, The Bronx 1880, Queens
47,641 and Richmond 1859.
Another interesting matter for COM
parison is the gain which both OF
these nationalities has made over the
Germans and the Irish, who for years
were the two most numerous foreign
elements in New York. In 1900. when
the Germans led all other foreign
born nationalities, they numbered
7S9,66S: even then they were 100000
fewer than the Russians. Now by
the 1920 census they are 100000
fewer than the Russians. The Ital-
ians now exceed the Germans of 1900
by more than 10000: they exceed
the maximum Irish element of the
1900 period by 1882, and they ex-
coed the Irish of the 1920 census by
about 100000.

The Fight to Save the Navy.

The minority report of the House
Appropriations Committee, protest
ing against the majoritys drastic
slash in the moneys allotted to the
navy. lays a very grave matter be-
fore Congress and the country. With
the personnel of the navy cut to
$1,000. the minority report holds
that the naval policy of 5-5-3 provided
in the conference treaty cannot pos
sibly be maintained Under the re-
duced personnel American sea power
will not be equal to Great Britain's,
as the conference delegates agreed,
the country wished and the world
approved. American sea power will
not be two-thirds of Great Britain's;
it will not be even on a par with
Japan's.
1t was the intention of the con-
ference and it was the understand
ing of the nation that our nation
should stand in the first rank as a
naval Power, matched only by Great
Britain. If the niggardly appropria-
tions which have been recommended
to the House in the majority report
of the committee should be adopted
by the House and accepted by the
Senate the United States would soon
fall, in fact, into the third rank as
a naval Power. Nobody can foretell
to what still lower rank it might
later descend.
Unless the House of Representa-
tives does not mean to carry out the
purpose of the conference naval
armament treaty and unless it means
to defy the national will in this mat
ter of the 5-5-3 policy and of the
naval dignity and supremacy Of the
country there will be nothing for it
to do but to refuse to abide by the
report of the Appropriations Commit
tee.
President HARDING is strongly op-
posed to the committees stand. The
soundest opinion in the House favors
personnel of at least $4,000 as a
reasonably safe compromise between
the Navy Department estimate Of
$4,000 and the little navy" peoples
radical demand for only $1,000. The
whole body of Congress should never
consent to the irreparable crippling
of the navy.

Russia at Genoa.

The stage manager of the Eco
nomic Congress at Genoa is LLOYD
GEORGE, but the star Of the play is
Russia. Not in the regular cast, she
has stolen the limelight. While the
other actors are pretending not to be
sure whether they will let her in,
Russia coolly demands to know why
that other outcast OF the worlds
streets, Turkey, is not allowed repre-.
sentation.
The five great nations which framed
the Congress talk about peace, conf
dence, finance, credit, commerce and
industry. But in their minds is Rus
sia, and again Russia.
The five nations which have sent
their statesmen to Genoa were vic.
tors In the war. But each of these
statesmen is trying, in the interests
of his country, to win the friendship
OF that most disgraced of the losers
in the war-Russia.
The five nations are the most firm
adherents of stable, conservative
government. Four OF them-Eng-
land, Italy, Belgium and Japan-are
monarchies. Each Of these nations
looks with the keenest interest
toward better relations with the
country which murdered it's govern
ment and set up chaos-Russia.
The five nations are peoples Of fine
human sympathy, eager for the we'll
being of the world. But their dele
gates attention Is devoted to win
ming the attention OF emissaries
whose masters scarcely turned a
hand when a million people were
starving to death recently in their
country-Russia.
When France was In peril Belgium
stood true. England went to war
for both of them. Italy and japan
Joined them. All we're allies to the
victorious end. Now their states
men are concerned not so much
with one another as with the only
nation that ratted-Russia.
The schoolboy, noticing Russia's
favorable prominence at Genoa, may
wonder whether it pays to be good.
OF course that Is not the question at
Genoa. If you are country with
huge riches in gold, grain and oil,
and other countries are in need of
those very things, it doesn't matter
whether you are cowardly and cruel
and lazy and disorderly.
At an economic conference, as at
q poker game, friendship ceases. It's
function is not to consider the aban-
donment of governmental order, the
oppression of the Industrious, the
sitting OF ambition, the suppression
of religion and morality and the bru-
tai treatment of the peasant. Not at
all. The nations want trade, for
their statesmen cannot swim when
the tide OF prosperity is falling. In
Russia, with its immense raw wealth
and its 136,0O0,00o potential custom
ers, there is hope.
Business is, as ever, business.
