A MIXED PEOPLE.
The attitude of the United States in tlio present war appears to he influenced to a large extent by the German element; but how large that element is is perhaps scarcely appreciated by casual readers of the cablegrams. The “Literary Digest” in a recent issue gives the following analysis of tlie United States foreign population :— Germany,, 8,250,000; Ireland.; 4,500,000; Canada, *2,750,000 ; Russia, i 2,500,000; England, 2,250,000; Italy. 2,100,000; Austria, 2,000.000; Sweden, 1,800,000 ; Norway, 1.000,000; Hungary, 700,000 ; Scotland, 050,000; Denmark, 400,000. German stock, therefore, very largely predominates over that of any other single nation. There are in all about twelve millions peo. pie of German and Austrian stock in the States, about one-seventh of the entire population, and ten million British, Irish and Canadian.
