THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN U.S. Population Halts Westward Movement Owing To World War Striking Changes Expected Next Report By Census Bureau Rush to Cities Continues Larger Percentage of Residents of Country Now Speak English Washington, Sept. 18. (United Press.) - Striking changes in the growth and character of the population of the United States are expected to be shown by the 1920 cent preparations for which are under way. The shifting of population because of the war has upset the calculations of census experts, who since 1917 have considered it useless to attempt to estimate population of any other units than states. Before that, it was possible with a fair degree of accuracy the number of persons in any given locality. The "center of population," it is believed, has stopped its westward movement, which was continuous from 1790 to 1910, when it was in its heyday. It is now a dwarstial cities in the central east such as Cleveland and Detroit, have been growing at a greatly increased rate during recent years, as have manufacturing centers further east. Formerly the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coasts had been inhabited in population with twice the rapidity of eastern and central states. During this year, however, certain modifications of the unusual situation may be made. The opening of reclamation projects in the west, the resumption of immigration, and other measures, will change the abnormal distribution of people; also be a tendency to return to normal now that the war is ended. Pronounced changes are expected also in the "constitution of the population"—the ratio of males and females, the proportions of native and foreign stock, and the age distribution. City experiences a rapid growth over the last century, but commercial activity, the gain in population is largely of persons in the young and early middle ages. Among these persons there will be more men than women, or example, in Oklahoma City, where the population grew nearly 50 per cent between 1900 and 1910; of males to females in 1910 was 128,000 and 63 per cent of the population wint between 15 and 45. FEWER FOREIGN-BORN The coming census is also expected to show a continuation of the movement from the country to the city, which has been going on for many decades. A further decrease in the proportion of negro population is expected. In 1900 negroes numbered 11.6 per cent and 1910 10.7 per cent. It is expected that the percentage of foreign-born will show a market decline, owing to the discontinuation of immigration. In recent years the native-born population did not increase as rapidly as the foreign-born fewer persons will be found, it is predicted, who are unable to speak English. In 1900 this number was 22.8 per cent of the population. The law requires the Census Bureau to make an actual count every 10 years, and an estimate for cities and states every year by arithmetical progression. Since 1917, however, the bureau has not estimated cities. A calculation of state population was made recently as follows: 1917 1919 Continental United States 103,835,306 106,871,294 Alabama 2,963,939 2,426,602 Arizona 283,788 280,260 Arkansas 174,152 165,709 California 3,093,932 3,299,729 Colorado 988,320 1,040,942 Connecticut 1,265,378 1,307,163 Delaware 215,160 218,729 Dist. of Col. 369,282 379,886 Florida 916,185 961,560 Georgia 2,895,841 2,975,344 Idaho 441,176 478,356 Illinois 636,840 640,556 Indiana 2,855,492 2,872,842 Iowa a2,224,771 a2,247,771 Kansas 1,851,870 1,896,320 Kentucky 2,394,093 2,423,061 Louisiana 1,856,954 1,912,063 Maine 777,340 787,042 Maryland 1,373,673 1,395,405 Massachusetts 3,775,976 3,988,607 Michigan 1,733,680 1,733,680 Michigan 2,912,455 2,973,960 Mississippi 1,976,570 2,028,961 Missouri 3,429,958 3,467,401 Montana 472,935 498,816 Nebraska 1,284,126 1,309,627 Nevada 110,738 118,745 New Hampshire 444,429 488,274 New York 3,014,194 3,148,547 New York 10,460,182 10,830,795 North Carolina 2,343,881 2,497,698 North Dakota 765,319 817,554 Ohio 5,212,085 5,335,543 Oklahoma 2,289,855 2,465,405 Oregon 861,929 214,438 Pennsylvania 8,690,042 8,936,091 Rhode Island 625,856 648,964 South Carolina 1,643,205 1,678,664 South Dakota 716,972 758,897 Tennessee 2,804,629 2,387,879 Texas 4,515,423 4,687,136 Utah 445,866 468,431 Vermont 364,946 367,439 Virginia 2,218,025 2,252,036 Washington 1,597,400 1,723,757 East Virginia 1,412,060 1,469,729 Wyoming 2,214,577 2,309,749 Wyoming 184,970 195,791 (a) Population April 15, 1910; decrease since 1900. University of Illinois Looks for Strong Team Urbana, Illinois.—Keen competition for all positions on the University of Illinois football team this fall is assured by the announcement that at least twenty veterans will return and be candidates for the eleven. In spite of this wealth of gridron material, Coach R, C. Zuppke is not at all sure that he can produce another championship team as he did in 1918. Elementary German Barred In New York New York-Elementary German-language courses will be barred this year in the public high schools here for three years, as announced by Lawrence Wilkins director of modern language instruction in high schools. About 3,000 pupils who have begun this course are allowed to take advanced courses. Professor Wilkins has just returned from a study of foreign-language teaching in the various states and countries. He is now able opposition to German, propaganda also is afloat to have it restored in some states. In California there is a state law against instructors who do not teach elsewhere German is being taught. Sanish in now most demanded here. Ten additional teachers of Spanish were added last year and twenty are now studying Spanish here last year. AS TO JACK PERSHING As Jack Porshing role down Fifth avenue yesterday. Fifth avenue's millions saw a man—a real man whose splendid vigor shone in every movement of his trist athletic body, whose fine spirit was disclosed in every detail. His unreliable essential wholesomeness was revealed by the firm but not unkind mold of his features, the unrelaxing discipline of his whole body. From this tense figure radiated confidence with no bump or strain to determination unmixed with bravado. That such a figure of a man should have housed the brain and heart that built up victory for America in France was fitting. Where Pershing went the physical symbol of virile ambition, eager Americanism went. He went to America before foreign rulers, he be Kings or premiers. It was fitting that he should stand for America in the councils of the captains of a dozen nations' armies. It was fitting that he should stand for America at the headquarters of America's forces. It was fitting that he, as a president of America before the militarists of Germany. It was fitting that he should stand for America in the hushed chambers of the hospitals where cruel suffering sought in vain to break the spirit of America's splendid spirit of America's splendid soldiers. The quality of a good and great general is a crucial factor in the training body of John Joseph Pershing.

Three More Veterans Report for Practice Warren Woody, "Big George Netties, and "Dutch" Lonborg report Wednesday afternoon to Head Coach Leon McCarty for Varsity practice on Monday. We had five others who checked out uniforms Monday and Tuesday were out and work light was gone through with in the usual first-week manner. Walter Wood, star quarterback was on team, got into a uniform in a few days. Woody, Nettles and Lonborg Join Coach McCarty's Band of Huskies The squaw was unable to use Mcook on account of the light rain, which softened the ground so that any practice would cut it up. Coach Schlademann, who will have charge of the freshman squad has issued a call for all freshmen to report and check out uniforms on McCook this afternoon. He expects a large number of new players in the man says he expects to put the Varsity squad to some strong competition before the season is over. Particularly happy for the hopes of the first-year squad is the fact that most of the present large enrollment is composed of freshmen who have been graduated from high school, not during their time at college, those who finished in the two years previous, and who were not in college on account of being in the service. The linemen were separated from the backs at Wednesday's practice and given practice and instructions in line-buckling form by Coach McCary, and the ends and backs booted the ball around Hamilton FIELD. From the practice and the three strong letter men who are out for ends it may be guessed that Coach McCarty may transfer "Dutch" Lonborg to the backfield to do the kicking. "Dutch" was booting the wing with Pringle and "Tad" Reid, and tapped their kicks at the fft-vard mark several times. Milward Idol, star half in 1971, who has been visiting in Lawrence during rush week has stated that if he can arrange affairs at home, he will try to meet McCook Field for practice. Idol will strengthen any backfield squad. Prof. and Mrs. Thayer to Visit K. U. Frank B. Frank, formerly an instructor in the department of journalism here, and Mrs. Thayer who was Miss Vera Hill, a Fine Arts student, were in Lawrence recently on their way to Pullman, Wash., where Professor Thayer is head of the department of Journalism in the state agriculture department, and professor Thayer has been lead of the department of Journalism in the Iowa State College.

This finally controversa*s a "bear" story sent out that K. U. was financially downed because that Varsity men would have to wear freshmen team red sweaters. Four Dozen Sweaters Here for Varsity Men "We were exceptionally lucky to get these sweaters," said Coach Karl Schlademan, "I just happened to catch a sporting house in Kansas City. There was nothing better, and they are the regular blue variety sweaters, with red stripes on the sleeves." Haskell to Open Season Here With Funston Team The Haskell Indians will play the opening local football game of the season against the Camp Funton eleven on the Haskell gridiron Saturday afternoon. Coach Saunders has been putting his Indian protégés through some hard workouts the last few days in preparation for the opening game. The available sport dope favors the Indians in the clash.
