HALF OF WORLD

 London, Nov. 25.-Wdth the addition of Turkey and Portugal to the EanIzs of the beIligerents, the area Of hos tilities has been extended to approx imateIy 56 per cent. Of the land sur face Of the gibbs. and about 56 per cent. of the total population of the earth must bs chased as tecRtnIcal belligerent. says the London Daily Chronicle.
 In round numbers, out Of a total land surface Of 51 50o, 900 square miles (excIuding the un1nhabitabIe regions in the Arctic and Antaretic9 g, 0,0OO, eco square miles is occupied by the II bel1fgerent powers, and about 1000 900. .o00 of the 1,s00,0oo.oo0 human be fngs on earth are directly involved in the great war.
 Apportioning the area and popula- ton between the two opposing groups. 1t will De found that there is a vast preponderance of both on the s5ds of Britain and her allies. which own 27, BOO coo square miles and hava about $40, ,000,OO0 people under their EuIe against the 2e8o eco square miles and 160, DOC, 900 people to the credit of Ger man, Austria Hungary and Turkey.

PRIME MINISTER SAYS JAPAN MUST
 ENLIGHTEN WORLD

oCorrespondence Of Associated Prsss.)
 Tokio, Nov. 25.-In an arttels enti- tied Japan and the European Ar mageddon.'' Count Shigenobu OlTuma, the Prime Minister, writing in the Ja- pan Magazine about the war. says some forcefu1 things about Japan's re- lation to the West.
 It will be our one ambition at this time" he writes, Ito show the West what it is slow to believe that we can work harmoniously with great Occidental powers to support and pro tect the highest ideals of civilization, even to the extent of dying for them. Not only in the Far East but any where else that may be necessary, Japan is ready to lay down her life for the principles that the foremost nations will die for. It is to be in line with these nations that she is at this time opposing and fighting what, she believes to be opposed to these prin- ciples.''
 The premier continues: ';Shs en- tered the Alliance with. Great Brdtaip to stand for and die for what Anglo Saxons are everywhere ready to de- fend even unto death. It Is Japan'a World-movements toward noble diplo- macy international relations and the principles Of equal opportunity and peace; and to prevent by one proper means the outbreak or continuance of bloodshed between nations. Japans relation to the present conflict is as a defender of the. things that make Tor higher ciEiIizat1on and a more perma- nent peace.
 Count Okunna devotes a considerable space to an historical resuneaof the causes of the present international war. Speaking generally he thinks that war is always due to an uneven ness of advancement in the progress of civilization, which like water must Ind. it's level When it's force is Ob- structed there will be violence and bloodshed War also is a result .oE the pressure offered in resistance to the growth of civilization.
 Speaking in particular. the premier is inclined to find the root of the present war in the weakness of the Balkan peninsula. Hike China he af1rms. Git is a seethiug crater tns the worlds diplomacy. From conditions apparently insignificant In 4hemselves. half the world can be set on fire and plunged into distress and deeimated" 1"

JAPANESE PLEASED
 AT NAVY EXPLOITS

ccsorrespondence Of Associated FTaas)
 Tokfo, Nov 25.-Tte occupation of the South Sea. Islands has greatly pleased the Japanese. One historian claims that UaIan or Kusaie Island in the East CaroIines was inhablted by the Japanese in ancient days. Tn the heart Of the island forest, he says. may be seen the ruins of an old cagtie resembling closely those seen in the more ancient parts of Japan The remnants of the system of 6ortidca- tions shows it to be an exact copy of the type constructed in the early To- l1l1waga period. It was at this epoch that many Japanese warriors and publicists went to the South Seas, having been expelled from the Empire on account of their odoption of Chris tianity.

PEACE STAMPS ON SALE.

Washington, Oct. Throughout
the various postoffices OF the United
States there will be on sale today
the peace" postage stamps, which
have been issued to commemorate the
hundred years Of peace between the
two great English-speaking nations,
In. view OF the appalling war that is
now raging in Europe 1t seems some
thing of mockery to issue these:
but they can be used not only as
commemorative of our long. peace
with England, but as reminders that
our nation is still at peace with the
world, thanks to the great peace pol
icies OF the present administration.
This new issue was to have been
placed before the public some few
weeks ago, but the rush caused by
the printing OF the emergency bank
notes held up the work Of the bureau
of engraving and printing. The new
two cent stamp is of the same red
shade which is used in the regular
stamps, but slightly larger in size
The new five cent blue is the same
blue as used at present in the regular
issues and shows a winged Goddess
of Peace. It is expected that these
win have quite a ready sale among
the people. to whom keener ap
probation of peace has been brought
during the past two months.
