WIN the Nations Have to Fightq

In 1900 France had 1900, 900 more
population than Germany. At that time
both nations occupied approximately the
the same amount of territory, about
200, 900 square miles each. The density
of population in France was Is4 to the
square mile; in Germany it was II3.
In the last hundred years the fertility
of the German nation has been SO great
that in spite OF the fact that is has sent
more than 5000, 600 emigrants to the
United States, and millions more to
other foreign countries, it has increased
its home population to nearly $4,000, 900,
nearly triple the number that it was in
1900. During the same period of time
the population of France, which has
sent practically no emigrants abroad. has
increased by less than fifty per cent.
And, it should also be remembered, that
in spite of Alsace and Lorraine, the ter
ritory of the two nations, has remained
practically the same = approximately
400. 900 square miles each.
At present the density of population in
the German Empire is sos to the square
mile. What that means may be graspcd
by considering that if the United States
was as thickly populated as Germany at
u
600. 900 people-ten times our present
density of population in the United
States is only thirty to the square mile
Where and how shall the immensely
virile and fertile Germanic race find a
new home and a new empire over the
seas? Or will it, with the greatest army
in the world at its command and a ire
-, -.
tight within its narrow boundaries at
home until famine snd pestilence saps its
vitality and reduces It's numbers? Ii NAV
do that; it NAV allow millions of its sons
to renounce their allegiance TO the father
land, or il may-the last terrible alterna-
tive OF which the VOL Id stands in dread.
In the Far East the case is exactly the
same. Japan, penned up in its narrow
. islands, with nearly fifty millions OF war
like people and crowded into 10000
square miles of land, is already over
flowing into Corea.
II il Is possible TO understand the
almost irresistible impulse which drives
the Japanese to seek outside of their
present boundaries less crowded home.
and let it also be remembered that, if
FormoSa could be counted with the
other Japanese islands. the density OF
population in the Island Empire is
almost the same as in Germany
1t is true then that after all the talk OF
commercial supremacy, national honor
and high ideals, the real cause of the
waiting war may be found in the primal
instinct of swarning from the over
crowded hive' Is Iacial fertility at the

truth Of the statements made In the
dispatch. Father Organ promptly
returned a communication published In
the Denver Express. in which W. T.
Collett. secretary OF the Prison assoeia-
ton. says that he had been misquoted
and that the report overlooked the fol-
lowing important statement:
what to me carries far more weight
than the statement that from rs TO 30
per cent OF the men who are In prison
are there because Of strong drink Is
one reported by the chaplain OF san
Quentin prison. Cal, number OF years
ago. The chaplain took the census OF
the prison--not By asking the prisoners
for their statement but from the oih-
cial records OF each case. and he FOUND
that every nth man Of the inmates
in that large prison of some l'sg1
population has been sentenced 10 MS
term Of imprisonment there for crime
which he had committed within the
walls OF saloon"
This Is a terrible indictment Of the
