YOKOHAMA
Registration Department of the Yokohama Municipal Office, the total number of foreign residents in the city at the end of 1914 is put at 6,851, which, compared with the census taken at the end of the preceding years. show a decrease of 1,702. This is attributed largely to the war, many having left to serve their country at the front. The British have decreased by 382, the French by 48, Russians by 29, Italians by 17, Germans by 121 and Austrians by 85. The importance of the foreign element in the port may be gauged by the fact that they pay nearly 40% of the entire amount of business and income taxes collected in Yokohama, though they have no voice in the control of local affairs.
