S. 4,662,000 Registration Shows There Arc 2,349,000 Germans Here Washington. D. C.. June 20.—The natives of Germany, Austria-Hun gary, Bulgaria and Turkey now re siding in the United States aggre gate approximately 4,662,000, or about 4 per cent, of the total pop ulation of the country. The foregoing total is announced by Director Sam L. Rogers, of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, as the result of a cal culation based on the census figures of 1910, the reports of the Bureau of Immigration for tho period be tween 1910 and the present time and the estimated mortality during that period. Although It i not possible by this method to determine with absolute exactness the number of natives of the countries named nowv living in the United States. It Is be lieved that the results obtained rep resent a reasonably close approxima tion to the facts. These 4,662,000 foreigners are dis tributed, according to country of birth, as follows: Germany 2,349,000 Austria 1,376,000 Hungary 738,000 Turkey 188,000 Bulgaria 11,000 It Is impossible to say whether the proportions of aliens—that Is, persons who have not applied for naturalization certificates among these foreigners are approximately the same In 1917 as they were In DUTYj) f Gy^ 1/ Jtf'):; LJ HE'5 wise—He. li\ II 0% y VIJ<V jMtiHFKNOWS VI I BMLk ) vfW TOBACCO OIVESFOq CIGARETTE "jf nfBECAUSE IT" PAXS %^.cco N NO IMPORT j *TOOAS:O A Import Duty does nothing for a cigarette • Not a thing—except make the cigarette cost more than it should Be cause the value or taste of a cigarette doesn't depend on the Import Duty on the tobacco.

The distri bution of these aliens, according to country of birth, would be as fol lows: Germany 136,000 Austria 4 47,000 Hungary 280,000 Turkey 93,000 Bulgaria 8,000 The proportion of aliens among male Germans 21 years of age and over is very much smaller than the corresponding proportions for the other countries named, having been only a little more than 11 per cent, in 1930, as against approximately 63 per cent, for Austrians, 74 per cent, for Hungarians, 82 per cent, for Turks and nearly 90 per cent, for Bulgarians. 920,000 HORSES GONE Europe Has Imported Animals From America to Total Value of Ap proximately $200,000,000 Nearly a million horses and more than a quarter of a million mules Is the export record of the United States in the thirty-four months since the beginning of the war. A compilation by the National City Bank of New York, made on re ceipt of the reports of the great mortality among American horses in the war zone, shows that the num ber of horses exported from the be ginning of August, 1914, to the pres ent time is in round figures 920,- 000, and of mules 330,000. The stated value of tho horses exported was $194,000,000, and of the mules $66,000,000. The fact that this is "not a cavalry war," and that automobiles, motor cycles, flying machines, and obser vation balloons are performing much of the service formerly re quired of the horse In war time, does not seem to have checked the de-- mand for American saddles and draught animals. In the first year of the war the number of horses and mules sent out of the country WHS, In round numbers, 375,000, in the second year 470,000, und In tho third year, which ends with next month, will approximate 450,000. For the fiscal year ending with tho month of June, 1915, which is nearly iden tical with the first war year, the number of horses exported was 289,- 340, in the next year 357,553, and in the nine months of the present fiscal year, 226,839, suggesting that the total for the fiscal year which ends with this month will approx imate 300,000. This suggests a slight decline. The number of mules exported in the fiscal year ending With June, 1915, was 65,788, in the next year 111,915, and in the year which ends with the present month will approx imate 160,000. In the single month of March, of the current year, the number of mules exported was 14,- 186, against 7,232 in the same month of last year, and for the nine months ending with March, 122,664, against 88,289 in the same period of last year. The demands of the war do not seem to have caused any material advance In the prices at which the horses and mules have been exported. The average export valuation of the horses exported was in the first year of the war $221 per head, in the seconds-ear $205, and in the third year $214 per head. The average export price of the mules was in the first year $193, in the second year $205, and in the third year of the war $206 per head. Nor does the exportation of a million horses seem to have had much effect upon prices at home. It Is not surprising that the coun tries at war find it necessary to draw upon the United States for horses, since we have over one-fifth of the 100,000,000 horses of the world, and far more than any other single country except Russia, which has about 30,000,000, against about 22,- 000,000 in 'the United States. 17 Smith Form-a-Tractor Aids Motor in Crisis Through its new tractor recently placed upon the market, the Smith Motor Truck Corporation Is doing its share to aid the nation in properly pruparing for a long, vigorous war. Till* machine which is an attach ment that can be fitted to Fords, or other similar makes of machines, Is adaptuble either to small or large farms, and enables farm owners to accomplish far more than is possible by the old horse-drawn Implements. By attaching the tractor to the plow, cultivator or other piece of farm machinery, the farmer is abla to cover his acres much quicker and to dispense with men and animals. In so doing, he releases his forms* hired help into other lines of industry, and thus aids in the Increasing of the nation's production. By cutting down his working hours, the farmer who owns a tractor should be able to aid his neighbor who is plowing: or harrowing. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Carl Vrooman has issued a nation wide appeal to tractor owners, ask ing them to make their outfits work from dawn until dark; if necessay, to make them work at night, if there are enough to fill the shift. "Don't let one acre, which other wise might not he planted," go un filled, is Vrohman's injunction. "Help your neighbors and do your part in strengthening the lines of the allies In Burope." Smith Form-a-Tractor owners have a real mission to perform and fjom all accounts, are performing It. FOR THROAT AND LUNGS STUDBOIIJI COUGHS AND COLD! Eckman's Alterative SOI.D BY A 1.1.
