flmwn bv the returns of the Thir-
teenth Decennial Census taken as of
April 15 1910 nog Issued today by
Director fun and. of the Bureau of

bulletin or report form. The statis-
tics were prepared under the super-
vision of Mr. William C. Hunt chief
statistician for population Inthe Bu-
reau of the Census .and are subject
to later revision.
They show In percentages the dis-
tribution of the population accord-
ing to Its elements as returned at the
census of 1010 for continental Unit-
ed States as a whole and for the nine
peographlc divisions. For the white
population distinction is made be-
tween persons of native and foreign
birth respectively and for Ihe na-
tive white a further distinction Is
made with respect to parentage.
Those persons having both parents
native are classed as of native par-
entage; those having one or both
parents foreign born are Massed as
of foreign parentage.
In New England and Middle Atlantic
States.
The foreign element Is propor-
tionately sreateM In the New Eng-
land and Middle Atlantic divisions
white persons cf foreign birth and
those of foreign parentage but na-
tive birth together constltulng In
each division one-half or more of the
total population. These two elements
also constitute between 40 and ')
ner rent of the total population of
each of the two North Central divi-
sions and of the Mountain Mid Pa-
cific divisions respectively. The
three Southern divisions or. the
other hand contain only a compara-
tively small proportion of white per-
sons cUher of foreign birth or of for-
eign parentage the population of

F.I feet of Immigration.
On account of the large Immigra-
tion during the past decade whiea
has mainly on to the Northern an I
Western states particular Int-rest at-
taches to the percentagse which the
foreign-born population constitute oi
the total population In those sec-
tions of the country. The propor-
tion Is the largest In New England
where the foreign-born wtlte repre-
sents 27.7 per cent of the total po pu-
liation in 1910. The Mi Idle Atlantic
division follows next with 2. per
rent of Its population foreign-bora
white; then the Pacific division wltii
20.6 per cent; the Kast North Central
division with 1 6.8 per cent and the
Mountain division with 16.6 per rent.
In none of the three Southern divi-
sions did the foreign-born whites
constitute more than 4 per cent of the
population am' in the East South
Central division they constitute!
only 1 pe t tent.
Tho state having the largest pur-
rentago of foreign-born white popu-
lation Is Rhode Island with. ".2 8 p.?r
cent followed by Massachusetts. 31.2
per cent. New York 29.9 per cent'
Connecticut 29.5 per cent: and then
by two Weriern states. North Da-
kota 27.1 per cent; and Mlnnesots
26.2 per rent.
Rapid Increase of Forcgn-IWn
White.
Comparing the percentages of In-
crease of the foreign-born whites
with that of the native white (wheth-
er of native or foreign parentage)
from 1900 to 1910 In the several di-
virions It appears that In four of tl.
six divisions of the North am! West
the foreign-born whites Increased
more rapidly than the native whites
the difference being especially con-
spiciotia In the Middle Atlantic divi-
sion where the fsirclsn born Increas

per cent. There has been much less

and ttr foroiirn torn Whites in that

from li00 to 1910 as compared with
11.1 tier cent for the native white.
In the Mountain division alto the
foreign born white increased some-
what less rapidly than the native-
white although their percentage of
Increase was in lts"lf large .11.6. In
the h ast and West So ith Central di-
visions the native whites Increased
