were New York, Chicago, Phila-
delphia, Washington, Detroit, st.
Louis, Memphis, Cleveland and
Pittsburgh. Chicago led with the
largest foreign born population,

cerned, because of the large num-
Der of nuatives of mississippi now

tropolis. The survey shows that
the number of native MISSISSIPPI
plans living in Chicago were but
slightly less than the combined ra-
cial population of Vicksburg, Meri-
dian, Greenville. and Natchez
Giving Chicago run was De-
troit with a large native Geor-
gia" population which exceeded the
total population of August and
Macon. Other tabulations show
that Virginia contributed more
than any other state to New York
City, Philadelphia, Baltimore Pitts
burgh and washington; while Ala
bama and Louisiana revilled Mis-
sissippi in its contribution to Chi
cago.
Other interesting disclosures are
that the per cent Of native born"
in the cities surveyed were as fol-
lows: New York City, 24.2; Chica-
go, 17.8; Philadelphia, 20.5; Balti-
more, 59.4; Washington, 1913; De-
trOit, AL; st. Louis, 32.6; Cleve-
