What is tue man power of our newest ally? German papers have described the United States as possessing a population of 90,000,000. In Great Britain tbe reckoning has been between that and 100,----000,000. By the census of 1910 the population of the Republic was found to be 01,072,266, and of these nearly 10,000,000 were coloured. The annual increase in the decade 1900-10 was 2.10 per cent, and taking it at 2 per cent for the last seven years, for immigration has declined during the war, we arrive at a total of over 91 milliof.s of white people and about n't millions of coloured. The latter are by no means a negligible quantity in America's fighting strength.
