Will Exceed $255,000,000 in 1914, Over and Above

A deepateh from. London •says:
The Parliamentary correspondent
of the Deily Chronicle who is
'lemony well-informed on tiles° mat-
ter, understands that the Da•vy
estimates for the next financial
year will 'exceed $255,000,000 Over
d,ncl above the $15,000,000 of, last
year's supplementary estimates.
Lord Crewe, who has hitherto
been ,seniewhat of a dark horse on
the question of increase of arma-
ments, spoke on Wednesday night
before the meanters of the Eighty
Club and gave unqualified euppolt
to Winston Churchill's case: He
entirely agreed that the whole
business of armaments was a,p-
preaching a eandal, and no one
should be surprised at the reaction
felt in the Liberal ranks against
this immense burden. "But I can
assure you," Lord Crewe contiza
mod, "that the Government are
very conscious of the 'gravity of the
position. Wedo not under -esti-
mate the gravity -of the occasion-,
nor are we surprisedat the evi-
dence ordoubt which has been ex-
pressed in various quarters of the
Liberal party. The First Lord of
the Admiralty takes a keen pride in
the splendid service OVOr which he
presides. He aleo has regarcrfor
the effeieney of that service, but it
is really altogether unjust to M.
Churchill to say or to hint that he
regards increased naval expendi-
ture with a light heart or anything
approaching satisfaction, altogether
to the contrary I can certainly as-
sure you. When we. preeent our
defence estimates we shall do .so
with anything but a light heart I
hope weshall be able to show the
House and the_eountry that we are
doing it with an unburdened con-
science."

Sonie Interesting Statistics Are Furnished by the
Latest Census Bulletin
A despatch from Ottawa says
The 1841i bulletin of the comma of
101, jeened on Wednesday, 'con-
tains the statisties of ages of the
people by ,single years, by totals
for Canada, and for eaell' of the
provinces, also comparative ,statis-
flee of the distribution of the people
byage Periods in 1911 and 1901.
The largest proportion per 1,900
of persons under 10 years is foend
in the Province of Quebec, with
273.508, as compared with 271,456
in 1901, when it also held the pre-
mier position. The lowest propor-
tion is found in British Columbia,
with 160.345, followed by Ontario,
with 200.316 per 1,000; these two
provinces oecupied the same rela-
tive positions 'in 1901, the former
having 169.374 and the latter 208.-
393 pee 1,000. The provinee.s which
show a betterment at this age are
Nova Scotia, New BrunsWia and
Quebec. The greatest falling off is
shown by Manitoba, which has
dropped from 270.094 to 248,677,
and by Prince Edward Island,
whioh, has fallen from 232.086 to
214.450 or 1,000. The Western
Provinces are the regions of young
inen and women, as is shown by the
large per cent. of the population
between the ages of 20 and 45. It
is an interesting fact, that the high-
est proportion for this age period
is to be found in British Columbia,
and that an we come eastward the
proportion assumes a constantly
decreasing figure.
The provinces showing the larg-
est proportion over 70 years are
Prince Edward Isla,nd, Nova Sco-
tia, New Brunswick and Ontario
with 52.9, 46.6, 38.1 .and 34,7 re-
spectively per 1,000, while those
showing the lowest are Alberta
Saskatchewan, British Columbia
and 1Vlanitoba, with 82, 8,8, 12.2
and 13.3 per 1,000 reepeetively.
That Canada is pre-eminently ti
cotintry of young people' is • evi-,
denced by the feet that 812.9 pee -
eons in every 1,000 of the popula-
tion of known age are under 15
years,
The proportion of davortes It
given 05 eix in 10,000. Of the total
male population, 62 per Cent are
single, 34,85 natarie,d, and 2.33 wi-
dowed. Of the female population,
57.37 per cent. are single, 36.97
married; and '5.31 widowed. One
man and fifteen women ef under 15
years are married. Frew 15 to 19
years 1.20 per cent. of reales and
6.9 per cent. females are married.
The influence of immigration en
the realtive standing of the sexes
is .ehoWn by the fact that in 1911
there were nearly 113 men to every
100 women, as compared with 105
to 100 in 1901. For the population
under 15 years of age the propor-
tion of males to females is fairly
level, with .the former having but
a slight advantage. In the popula-
tion between the ages of 20 and 45
this influence is strikingly- shown,
the aggregate for this period giv-
ing 124 males to 100 females. At
the age of 70 the ratio of males to
females assumee again it normal
peoportion. From 80 years of age
and upward the female population
exhibits a greater tenacity of life
than do the males.
In all Eastern cities the female
population outnumbers the male in
very nearly a correspondingly ratio
to the extent that males prepon-
derate over females in the West.
Montreal is the only Canadian city
where the numbers of males and
fineomisl.es are in fairly truo propor-
