SOME PLAIN FACTS.

The United States Census Burean has assembled figures conseruing the Ger- man population of the Enited States tions when which, on the eve of the party conven- "the German role ** is exercising the minds of politicians-are as timely as they are interesting, The bureau has combined the figures gathered in the census of 1910 with the reports of the immigration bureau for ansc

birth in the United quent years, and showe as a result that there are 2,603,775 persons of German States. These figures are surprising because they are small, but an examination of the imini- gration figures for the last few decades has been made, from which it is evident that the number of persons of German birth could not greatly exceed that figure in view of the proportionately smal! German immigration sincs the be ginning of German's intensified indus trial development, and her careful pro- visions to make life in the Fatherland as attractive to her people as existence in lands oversea.

These disclosures must at least prove cmbarrassing to the Monarchists, and provide another typical example of the tortuous ways of Chinese politics. note, notwithstanding the above, that, in a recent mandate issued by the State Da partment, Yuan Shih-kai disclaims all personal responsibility for launching the abortive monarchist scheme. If so, it is a confession that the President did not know what his own Government was do- ing, but this latest mandate is probably only another effort to save face." Londen und Chinh Express,
