Il am heartily in accord with the

My father was Gen. Harris NJ. Plais-

Army Corps. He enlisted immediately
after Fort Sumter was fired upon and
remained in the army until Gen. Lee

Charleston. s. c.. he had command OF
the batteries on the islands which sur
round the harbor and left nothing un-
done in his efforts to destroy this beau
tiful old city.
yet, 20 years after. when my father
went to Charleston on account Of his
health. the genuine courtesy and cor
dial hospitality which he received from
the old Southern families surprised
even him.
Once may father arrived in Charles
ton unexpectedly and found that there
was big Confederate reunion being
held. Someone found out he was there.

served by the Daughters Of the Confed-
eracy, and had he been one of their own
generals he could not have been treated
with greater courtesy and considera-
ton.
THE South. both men and women,
| would appreciate the return of these
flags, not because they are Confederate
flags. but because they are something

during the Spanish War. the mon from

the fiscal year 1921 was o0s,00o ~
against 10000 in 1870 suggests
that the total for 1872 would prob
ably have returned to the pre-war
normal but for the $50 limitation
above noted.
The principal countries repre-
scented by the 100000 persons Of
foreign birth living in the United
States in 1920, were, stated in nu-
merical order, Germany 1886, 600.
Italy 100000, Russia 1900 900.
Canada 1896, 900, Poland 100000,
Ireland 1857 900, England $4,000,
Scotland $4,000. The Scandina-
Wan States as a group are repre-
scented by slightly more than 1,0OO.-
600 persons, Sweden having more
than one-half of this total. The
number of natives of France, Meth
erlands, Belgium and Switzerland
is comparatively small, those of
France being but 10000, exclusive
of Alsace-Lorrainc, Netherlands
$4,000, and Belgium $4,000.
This foreign born population
has distributed itself chiefly across
the northern half of the United
States, the number seeking homes
in the South forming an extreme
ly small percentage of the total
OF the 100000 persons o. foreign
birth living in the United States
in 1920, the number in the entire
South being less than 100000.
The bulk of the remaining l3,0O0,-
GOO are found in the Middle Attain
tic States. the Upper Mississippi
Valley, New England. and the Pa
cific Coast. In the Middle Atlan-
tic States, New York, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey, the NUM-
Der is approximately 100000; in
the Upper Mississippi Valley an
other 100000; in New England
100000, and in the Mountain
States and Pacific frontage about
one-half million.

Number ofimmisrants in last hundred
:. years equals one-third Of the pres.
emit population. Three-quarters Of
the countries have reached their
nunfa. N-",r-lx,S&eH

Recent estimates show that the
population of the United States,
which is now 100000, exceeds
that of all other countries except
Russia, India and China. This
condition is apparently not mini
MIXING our attractiveness to those
of other countries who are seek
ing new homes. More than three
fourths of the countries from
which immigrants are entering the
United States have already reached
their full limit of the number they
may send in the fiscal year ending
with the month of June.
The Trade Record of The Ma
tional City Bank of New York es-
Inmates that the Spring inflow from
the few countries which have not
already filled their quota will
bring the arrivals of the fiscal year
up to nearly or quite the total of
$4,000 permitted under the law of
May 10, 1921, which limited the
number which may be admitted to
$50 of the respective nationalities
resident in the United States in
1910.
The principal countries which
have not completely filled their
quota in the first 7 months Of the
fiscal year 1923 were Germany,
Great Britain. Russia. Sweden.
France and Austria. AS all these
countries except Germany had sent
more than ne of the possible
total. it is likely that the usual
Spring movement will completely
fill their respective quotas except
in the case Of Germany. from
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1923-03-05

which the arrivals in the 2 months
ending with January were Fl 500
out Of a possible total of $500.
This scramble of the people Of
other countries for the privilege of
becoming citizens of the United
States lends interest to the record
of the immigration movement
down to the time in which the war
checked the flow of world popu-
lation to this country. That our
popularity as a place of residence
had not at all decreased during the
pre-war years is shown by the fact
that the arrivals of immigrants in
the fiscal year 1914 which immedi-.
ately preceded the war were 1,2l8,-
600 or greater than in any year
with the exception of 1907 when
the total was 1,2S5,0OO. There were
but five occasions prior.to 1914 in
which the total arrivals of immi-
grants crossed the one million
line.
The total number of immigrants
arriving in the country during the
last hundred years is in round
numbers 100000 or about one
third as many as the present total
population, and the number of
foreign born persons living in the
United States in 1920, the latest
census year, was in round terms
100000. The number arriving
during the war fell far below the
pre-war average, ranging from
$4,000 in 1915 to 10000 in 1918,
but rapidly advancing to 100000 in
1920 and 805.000 in the fiscal year
1921 when the Act of May 10,
1921, as above indicated, limited
the number which might be ad-
mitted in any fiscal year between
that date and June 30, 1924 to $50
of the number of the particular
nationality resident in the United
States as shown by the 1910 CEN
sus. The fact that the inflow in
