THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY. JUNE 18. 1917.
CENTRAL EUROPE IS
STRONG JNAMERICA
Four and One-Half Per Cent
of Our Population Native -,
Born to Our Present
Enemies.
Washington, June 1". The natives
of Germany. Austria-Hungary,1 Bul
garia, and Turkey now residing in
the United States aggregate approxi
mately 4.002,000, or about 4;-i per
cent of the total population of the
Country.
The foregoing total is announced
Sy Director Sam L. Rogers, of the
lureau of the Census, Depannent of
. ntnmerce, as the result ot a calcula
lion based on the census figures of
1910, the reports of the Bureau of
Immigration for the period between
1910 and the present time, and the
estimated mortality during that pe
riod. Although it is not possible by
this method to determine with abso
lute exactness the number of natives
it the countries named now living in
the United States, it is believed that
the results obtained represent a rea
sonably close pproximation to the
facts.
These 4.622,000 foreigners are dis
tributed, according to contry of birth,
as follows:
'iTtnany 2.39.000
Austria 1,376,000
HuriKary 738,000
Turkey 18S.00O
Itulgarla 11,000
It is posible to'say whether the
proportions of aliens that is, per
sons who have not applied for
naturalization tcerificates among
these foreigners are approximately
the same in 1917 as they were in
1910; but, assuming this to be the
case, the number of male aliens 21
years of age and over included in the
above total would be approximately
964.000. or about 3.2 per cent of the
total number of male inhabitants of
the United States 21 years of age and
nver. J he distribution of these
aliens, according to country of birth
would be as follows:
'lermany
Austria
Hungary
Turkey
Hnlearla
The proportion of aliens
male Germans twenty-one years of
age and over is very much smaller
than the corresponding proportions
tor the other countries named, hav
ing been only a little more than 11
per cent in 1910, as against approxi
mately 63 per cent for Austrians, 74
per cent for Hungarians, 82 per cent
for Turks, and nearly 90 per cent for
Bulgarians.

Committee? All Ready for
the Red Cross
Drive.
Everett Buckingham, general man
ager of the Stock Yards company,
has appointed the following commit
tees for the Red Cross campaign that
will start Monday and continue for
a week:
R. C. Hoxw. H. O. Edwards, M. R.
Murphy and J. O. Spangler from the
packing houses.
G. J. Ingwersen of the commission
men.
J. H. Bulla of the traders.
J. C. French, L. M. Lord and J. F.
Coad of the banks.
J. B. Watkins, VV. B. Cheek, George
Gribble, Father Michael Gluba and
Father George J. Jonaitis of the city.
These committees will solicit funds
from the different lines of business
and industries they represent. Mr.
buckingham was enthusiastic over
the work and said he was confident
the South Side would raise its full
quota of $25,000 without much effort.
He further remarked that the fact
that $100,000 was subscribed in just
tew minutes at the meeting at the
Fontenelle hotel Friday evening was
an indication of how popular the
movement was among the people, and
especially among the South Side po-l
pie, because within a few weeks there
will be about 3,000 boys from the
packing center at the front and he
knew the home folks wanted those
boys carred for, and the Red Cross
was the organization that did this
work. The fact that Mr. Buckingham
has two son ready and willing to
serve the country, makes hini doubly
interested in this great work.

establish the right to an inch of land.

Claim Illinois Roads
Violate 2-Cent Fare
Springfield. III., June 17. The
Illinois legislature tonight adopted a
resolution directing Attorney General
Brundage to take immediate steps to
punish the railroad companies which
have increased the passenger are in

crease intrastate passenger rates from
2 cents to 2.4 cents a mile, and de
clared he would proceed against the

a statement tonight, explaining the
failure to complete the transaction by
which 2,000,000 in Mexican gold bul

terminate the transaction and recall
the inspectors who had been sent to
watch the minting.

THOMAS SOON LEAVES
FOR WORKJN MAINE
Former Nebraska Superintend
ent Will Go East First of
July to Assume
New Duties.
(From a Staff Corrfsr-ontlent.)
Lincoln, June 17. (Special Tele
gram.) Dr. A. O. Thomas, who has
been appointed slate superintendent
of public instruction of Maine by
Governor Millikcn, soon will leave
Xchraska for his new home. He is
expected to assume the duties of the
office Julv 1 and will dispose of his
household goods here at once and
move to Ins new location.
The honor of being selected out of
several candidates came to Dr.
1 nomas unsolicited.
The selection was made because of
Dr. i nomas success in rural school
work in Nebraska and his high stand
ing throughout the country as an educator.
Dr. Thomas was born in Mercer
county. Illinois, on a farm, in 18o4,
attended school in Iowa and came to
Nebraska in 1891. He served as princi
pal of schools in St. Paul, Minden and
Kearney. His success led the State
Board of Normal Schools to select
him for the new normal at Keamev.
where he made such a success, not
only as an educator, but as a business
man, that political enemies, fearing
ins power in rue luture, succeeded in
dethroning him. j
The Deonle of Nebraska took tin the
matter and elected him state superin
tendent, but in the Wilson landslide
last fall he went down to defeat, al
though lie ran 40.000 votes ahead of
Hughes and was defeated by only
U0O votes.
His family consists of Mrs. Thom
as, a son, Paul, and a daughter, Kath
erine. The daughter is at home, but
the son is engaged in Chautauqua
work. The family will visit in Colo
rado and Wyoming before joining Dr.
Thomas in Maine.
Car of Alfalfa Seed
Condemned by Officials
Lincoln, Neb., June 17. T. L.
Maxon of Buffalo Cap, S. I)., sold by
sample to Ed Magowan at (iibbon,
Neb., a carload of alfalfa seed. The
sample from which this seed was pur
chased was poor and the seed which
was shipped was worse than the sam
ple. The price of this seed was to be
$0. Mr. Magowan refused to accept
the 6ced shipped and it was held on a
siding at Gibbon.
Otto Murschel, the .state food, drug,
dairy and oil commissioner, sent Mi
Louise M. Allen, the state seed ana
lyst, to investigate the case. An
analysis of the official sample showed
that this seed was R8 per cent pure
and only germinated 52 per cent. This
means that seed sold at 10 cents a
pound actually costs ii cents per
pound.
Alfalfa seed must be 96 per cent
pure and germinate 80 per cent to be
standard in Nebraska. I he "Maxon
alfalfa seed contained one dodder seed
in approximately each 500 alfalfa
seeds and therefore it could not be
sold in Nebraska.
Mr. Maxon had wired dealers at
Hastings. Lincoln and Omaha in an
endeavor to dispose of this car of
seed, but he was wired from Gibbon
that it would have to be shinned out
of Nebraska, accordingly it was re
turned to Buffalo Gap.

State Hail Insurance Law
Not in Effect This Year
Lincoln. Neb.. June 17. (Special
Telegram.) No attempt to put the
new state hail insurance law into
use will be made this vcar. The
bill, which passed without'the emer
gency clause, will not become a law
until July 2i, too late to have an ef
fect on this year's crop.
It is also believed that so little
would come in from the insurance
receipts that it would not be possible
to pay expenses of administration.

of Central City, is said to be satis
lied to let it pass this year.
