Million Each in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois Could Serve.
WASHINGTON, July 6.—A census bureau table issued today estimates the number of able-bodied men of military age in the United States at about 21,000,000.
The estimate is based on the assumption that there has been an increase of 10 per cent since 1910, when the number was 19,183,000, including 14,224,000 native whites, 2,857,000 naturalized foreign-born whites, 2,052,000 negroes and 50,000 Indians.
During the Civil war, when the population, exclusive of the seceding states, was less than one-fourth of the present population, the number of men serving in the northern army at one time or another was 2,500,000.
There are four states, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, in each of which the men of military age number more than 1,000,000.
