IN a recent Chapter we have made some ex-
amination of typical New England communi-
ties. Those of us who are English-speaking have
balked at the pronunciation of names which par-
alyze the tongue. It will be wearisome to par-
ticularize further or to continue a house to house
canvass.

Bearing in mind then that the four million
and more foreigners in New England, whom we
are now to locate in a general way, have colo-
nized in streets and areas similar to those we
have just studied--let us make a speedy survey
of the populous sections to which the alien has
gravitated. These, as the reader of the fore-
going pages will expect, are to be found near the
coast, in the river valleys, or adjacent thereto.
The vast majority are in the Southern industrial
country. If there were no traffic to delay, the
passengers of a speedy car could get a glimpse of
each within forty-eight hours. The Government
in case of war would not need much more time
