Comparative figures for 429 of thijp. places in the last two decades show u 6.5 decline in the percentage of increase from 1910 t 1920 as con? pared with the 28.1 pm cent gain during the preceding de cade. i The ro'.nalning 21 places represon cities or towns which were not exist ing as separate communities in 1900 but Ivive since organized and become incorporated and comparative fig itrce were not announced. T, p to and Including yesterday’s i’.r.nouiicemcnt the review showed an f ggregate population of 10.05V15, ar increase of 1.780,272 over 1910, or 21.9 per cent. Falling off in the percentage of increase for the p’aoes announced was largely due to the “check to im migration which resulted from the world ■war.’’ said Director Rogers, of the bureau. The total immigrn tton to the United States for the last ten years, lie said, showed a decrease of 3.264.000 compared with the pre ceding decade. The recent influenza epidemic also probably had some effect in retard ing the nntura 1 increase of popula tion. Mr. Rogers said. JM* '♦#**•**•****•»******* *4 #■**■* #- l ANY^EVFRY SYSTEMWMi Remy.
