THE WAR ARENA WIDENs.

With the addition of Turkey and Portugal
to the ranks of the belligerentS, the area Of
hostities has been extended to approximately
- per cent of the land surface of the globe and
about JG per cent of the total population "i the
earth must be clasSed as technically belIiger
rnt says the London Daily Chronicle.
In round numbers, out of a total land sur
face of 81 100000 square miles excluding the
unnhabitable regions in the Arctic and Ant
arctic) 30,000,000 square miles is occupied by
the II bellgerent powers, and about 1,OM,OO0,-
900 of the 8OO,OOO,0OO human beings on earth
are directly involved in the great war.
Apportioning the area and population be-
tween the two opposing groups, it will be found
that there is vast preponderance Of both on
the side of Britain and her Allies, which own
-, 100000 square miles and have about S4O,
100000 people under their rule, against the
100000 square miles and l60,OOO,NO people
to the credit of Germany, Austria-Elungary and
Turkey.
. IF the affected areas are analysed by CONT
nents, it will be found that in Europe 3O4O,0OO
square miles out of total area of 385O,OOO and
$50 900 people out Of Az, OOO, OOO-Or nearly
80 per cent in both cases-are at war
In Asia the belligerent area amounts to
b, 100000 square miles (eaving out of account
the interior of Arabia-a political no mans
land of about million square miles), the total
area of the continent being about 165OO,OOO
square niles Hence over Sc per cent is at war.
Of the population of Asia 475,OOO,OOO ont OF
98O,0O0,O 900 - say 401@r per cent must be
classed as belligerent%
Africa is, proportionately, even more effected
than Europe About 10,5OO,O0O square miles
Of the II ,700,0 00-nearly 80 per cent-are at
war. The only neutral regions are the Italian
and Spanish colonies, and the native states OF
Abyssina and Liberia.
Curiously enough, Australasia and Oceanla,
although the most remote from the primary
zone of hostilities, have the highest percentage
of belligerency of any of the continental dlvls-
ions of the earth, over IS per cent in area, and
"a per cent in population.
South America occupies the happlest popu-
lation of all. Out of an area OF over 7,oOOOOO
square miles and a population OF about o.
100000 only 500 square miles OF territory
and $50 600 human beings are subject to any OF
the combatants.
The percentage of area is less than and OF
population less than 1.
Thus the continent whose very name was
formerly regarded as denoting the most favor
able soil on earth for the termination OF wars
has. strangely enough, the distinction of being
almost entirely at peace, while more than hal1
of the world is at war.

GUTIERREZ.

Making presidents is about the easiest thing
Mexico -does-eXcept unmaking them.
Eulalio Gutierrez, provisional president OF
the big republic, is an instance of the i'm
promptu way in which Mexico thrusts fame
upon the luckv--or unIucky-ones. Gutierrez
had never been heard of until the convention
of peacemakers in Aguas Caientes named him
to take the honors and emoluments that 60
with the highest office within the gift of the
Mexican conspirators. Until the present war
started, Gutierrez was a Waterman employed
by a copper company at Zacatecas, and it is of
record, that until the war began, the manager
OF the company had never heard of Waterman
Gutierrez But after the trouble was under
way. the Waterman developed into one of those
overnight Mexican generals, got together a
band of his kind and began giving orders to the
copper company's manager. He joined the
Constitutionalists, sprang into fame from sew
eral typical Mexican exploits OF burning prop
erty and became petty dictator. Become i'm
portant with the first power of any sort he had
ever tasted, he entered upon 4 career of des-
trucfion so wild that he was soon nicknamed
thenticated stories told about him is that he
threatened trainload of American women and
children until he was given 1900 by the
manager of the copper company.
From detailed reports emanating from the
Zaeatecas district, it,appears that Gutierrez
has been as lawless and wilfully destructive a
leader as any of those who sought fame and
fortune with Carranza and Villa, and that is
SAYING good deal. Protests were made that
be was Selling the property of foreigners and
converting it to his own uses, but the protests
never prevented him from doing as he pleased
And this is the man who is now, nominaly at
least, the supreme power In Mexieot-with
whom the United States must deal, if it is con-
sistent with its course in withdrawing troops
from Vera CRUZ
It may be, of course, that ma few months
6utierrez has developed from g. lawless bandit
INTO calm. and self contained statesman, but
that would be little less than miracle. Villa,
while he has risen from a robber of the road
to generalship, has not changed in his per
sonal traits or characteristics, if well-informed
observers are to be believed. He has merely
broadened in military way.
IL Gutierrez remains in the presidency, the
prospects for tranquility in Mexico are remote
indeed. The forbearance ef'the United States
IS resting on very rotten timber in Mexico

Bible Convention of The Christian
and Missionary Alliance At MT.
Lake Park, I'D, aug. % 80.

Through the kind invitation of the
Mt Lake Park Association, it has been
arranged to hold five-day Bible Con-
vention at Mt. Lake Park Aug. $3.50
inclusive. For the information of any
who are interested, and might care to
attend the convention, we give the
following facts concerning the Christian
and Missionary Alliance:
The Alliance was first formed about
quarter of century ago, in New
York city. Its object was the giving
of the Gospel to the neglected poor of
New York. Another and chief aim of
the Alliance was to endeavor to lead al!
Gods people into lives of spiritual
power, through the baptism of the Holy
Spirit. During one of these conven-
lions. at Old Orchard, Me-, the great
needs of the great heather world were
brought so viyidly before the company
of worshippers that it determined to
carry the Gospel to the countries of the
world as yet unevangelized and to the
unoccupied districts of the countries
where other societies were not preaching
the Gospel. 1t now is carrying on mis-
sionarY work IN China, Japan, India,
Porto Rico, San Domingo, the Congo
and Sondan in Africa, Venezuela,
Argentina, Chila and Ecuador in South
America, and in the Philippine Islands.
It's force of missionaries numbers
nearly three hundred with a much
larger force of native helpers.
Rev. A. B. Simpson of New York,
the President and founder of the work,
will be the leading speaker and will be
assisted by several ministers and
missionary, Rev. E. 0. Jago, from
Palestine, tand I. .Kuykendall, from
Central China, who will bring stirrin g
messages from the regions beyond.
The society is nterdenominational,
its workers are members of all the
leading evangelical denominations.
Earnest, spiritual, preaching the gospel
in its fullness for the whole man, spirit,
soul and body, will be heard as well as a
faithful! presentation of the work and
need of the heather world.
The public are cordially invited to at
tend this convention.
Sincerely yours,
s. M. KUYKENDALL.

Cost of Fire Insurance.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Indirectly the cost of fire insurance is
set by the public and the public can re-
duce the cost.
Fire insurance rates are based upon
the underwriting experiences of compa-
MES writing insurance in each territory
covering period of years and every
loss, whether preventable or unprevent-
able, has tendency to increase the
rate.
Statistics show that about 60 per
cent of losses by fire are preventable-
an alarming proportion.
The fire waste of the United States is
from ten to twelve times as great per
