PARIS, Nov.. 22— Ry A. IV— “For
new conditions, new men” is the rallv
; <‘ng cry of the former Soldiers element
for tlie forthcoming parliamentary
! elections. Some of the many veteran

struction. Others demand that fifty
! percent of the candidates of each
I pa tv for the Chamber of Deputies be
recruited from the soldiers organiza
j tions.

disquieting to the great majority of
; outgoing deputies who neglected to
i don a uniform during the war. It is

CENSUS SCOPE
INCREASED BY
PRESENT LAWS
WASHINGTON, Nov., 22— That the
fourteenth decennial census, on which i
the actual enumeration work will be
gin January 2, 1920, is to be the most
important ever taken , is shown by
;he fact that the act of congress pro
viding for this census expressly in
creased the scope of the inquiries so
is to include forestry and forest prod
ucts, two subjects never covered spe
:ifica!ly by any preceeding census.
The inquiries to be made relating ;
to population, manufactures, mines,
quarries and agriculture were also ex
tended in their scope by congress, the
keenest interest over the forthcoming
•ensus having been shown by the
nombeis of the census committees >f
both the house and senate while th*»
; law was under consideration.
The statistics gathered on mining
will include all oil and gas wells.
Many startling developments in this
important branch of the nation’s re
, sources are looked for by census of
ficial. The figures gathered in
T?xa^. Oklahoma and Kansas will no
doubt, prove to be those most cagerlv
sought for, as shown by inquiries al
ready received by the census bureau.

forestry and forest products statistics
will be in charge of a special force of
forestry and forest products statistics
will be in charge of a special force of
experts. The accurate and compre
hensive figures gathered concerning
this vital natural resource will be
much in demand, and the compari
sons made with conditions existing
before the war will be of great in
terest.
Agriculture statistics will likewise
be the subject of special effort on the
part of the census bureau, as the im
portance of farming is being realized
by the average citizen far more than
ever before.
