STATE GENSUS AS FACTOR IN'THE WAR Has Assisted in Registration, Dralt and Isolating Aliens 26.— Hartford, Jan. Uses to which Connceticut's military census has been put were revealed today, for the first { time, in information secured at the of- fices in Hartford where the census re- | sults are kept and where the cards are sorted frequently when new calls for information from them are received. Although much of what has been done with the cersus is withheld, and will not be told until after the war, the | details given make it evident that this inventory of the state’s resources for war in men and materials has been one of the state’s most effective war | accomplishments, that it furnished the federal government with much vital information, including the identity of enemy aliens, and that the experience gained in taking it was used as a bas for planning the details of the nation wide registration of men from 21 to 31 years of age on June 5. The task of taking the Connecticut census was undertaken within three days of the diplomatic break with Ger- many and completed a few days be- fore the declaration of war. Cunn(‘:('t- icut was the first state in the Union to take such a census, but several oth- er states have since scen the advan- tages of the move and have follewed jts examole. Although the census wa completed before the United Sta.(,es had entered the war, it is still proving its value and will probably mot outlive its usefulness until some time after the war is over. Originally compiled as a military census, it has demonstrated its worth in meeting many war prob- Jems, also, that are not strictly of 2 military nature though related to the successful conduct of the war. Aroused Patriotism. The first result of the census was in arousing a spirit of patriotic en- thusiasm and preparedness in the state which paved the way for the war tasks confronting its people in April and May. When every man in Con- necticut was asked to describe the ways in which he might be able to help his government each one realized at once that the war was to become a personal matter with him and that it meant more than cheers and flag- waving. The sober side of the war was brought home to every citizen quickly and thoroughly. | | | Assistance in Draft. Among the more tangible results of the census few have been more marked than the aid it furnished the federal government in perfecting the elaborate machinery of the selective draft act. Primarily the census has helped most by providing a check on all draft registrants in Connecticut, Not only has it enabled the govern- ment to detect slackers who. gave one age to the census takers and another to draft officials, but it doubtless pre- vented many slackers from attempt- ing to evade registration who knew that their ages, as given in the mili- tary census, were on file in a state office, Just before registration day a list of all the men of draft age within its jurisdiction was sent to every town in Connecticut. This list of prospec- tive draftees served a double purpose —post cards were sent to the men just before registration day warning them to register, and the lists were compared afterwards with the regis- tration lists to see whether any who should have registered had failed to do so. The federal government, ning for its registration, the experience in military census. When plans for the federal draft registration were taken up, men identified with the Connecticut cen- sus were called to Washington, worked out the whole plan with gov- ernment officials, and made many important suggestions which were adopted One of the statisticians in charge of tabulating the Connecticut | census has been commissioned in the {army and is working in Washington in connection with the tabulation of | the federal census. 1 Knew Alien Residents. Connecticut, with one of the largest alien populations of any state, was able as soon as the war started to !learn how many of its residents were aliens, which were subjects of allied nations, which were subjects of Ger- | many and the other Central Pow- { ers, which were neutral and which {of the aliens had taken out their first citizenship papers. The turther disclosed how these | were distributed and in which cen- | ters, for example, there were a large number of enemy aliens. When the need became evident for iymt\ivv; lists of enemy aliens in offi | cial hands, it was possible for Con- | necticut because of the military cen- to aid the nation by furnishing the proper authorities, list in plan- made use of the Connecticut aliens to classi- | fied by towns of all men in the state | the included in the | proclamation. In addition, lists of Canadians and | subjects of Great Dritain have been furnished to the Canadian and Brit- ish governments for the use of their recruiting commissions, and similar | lists of enemy, friendly or neutral | aliens can be furnished in the future to any authorities who need them. Complete lists of aliens classified by nationality have been prepared | for the use of the federal govern ment and especially the Connecticut State Council of Defense to be used in mailing list. Informative and pa- triotic literature prepared especially for distribution among aliens and printed in their languages is being sent out from time to time to various groups by the council's foreign born popula- thing the cen- record themselves or declarants. lived in this provisions of of alie rittee on Among e ali tion other s, uwen who have | tiera, census | for ht country ly thou to be closed ¢ aliens. disclosure wa number of ship, applications ferred through 12asons. I'urnished Lists of Available Men, In addition to its value in connec- tion with the draft, the census en- abled the state to furnish to National Guard and other recruiting agencies lists af men available for military service, and the notices and appeals sent out to such men through the mail resulted in many voluntary enlist- ments. Lists of this kind were fur- nished to the Ilirst and Second regi- ments of the Connecticut National Guard giving the names of all men of military e in their respective dis- tric Three indirect years and were popular- citizens were di effect of this increase in the for citizen- had de- or One eat applications that lect been neg for other military results of the census were the classification of every man in the state according to occupation, thus registering the man- power of Connecticut for use in any emergency; a census of the automo- biles and motoreycles of the state, and cus of all doctors and nurses. automabile census lists in Six | classes motor trucks, pleasure and motorcycles available for war service. The medical census contains lists of nurses, physicians, dentists and other medical who have voluntecred for ervice. Industrial Inventory. The industrial inventory af the mili- tary census has been of vast value to the state and nation. The govern- ment has been put in touch with many manufacturers of war supplies and factories able to adopt their pro cesses to war work because of it. This inventory is naw being used effectively by the committee on industrial survey of the Connecticut State Council Defense. The military census has proved value for civic purposes in several ways. Several towns have askea for | complete lists of the men in their towns whose names are carried on the census list. The military census has also earned a considerable amount ol money by disclosing the names ot many men who have in past year failed to pay their personal taxe: would probably have continued out paying unless the taken. These, according to the custodian of the census are but a few many way which the census proved its value.
