In Our Great Melting Pot.

Nearly seven million white, foreign-born males over the age of twenty-one years are now in the United States. About 400,000 of these are English and 600,000 Irish, the total from the United Kingdom being about 1,300,000.

There are less than 60,000 French, about 800,000 Russians, and 1,300,000 Germans.

Of the English, sixty per cent are naturalized American citizens; of the Irish, about sixty-nine per cent; of the French, fifty per cent, and of the Russians, twenty-six per cent.

Of the Germans, about seventy per cent are naturalized Americans, showing a more marked and more permanent absorption into the life of their adopted country than is the case with the other nationalities.
