the western powers, particularly Aus.

j. S. DELAYS IT'S OPINION
OF VIDE NEUTRAL ZONE
Not Ready to Give Views on Prop
osition of South American
Nations.

The United States government is not
ready to express its views regarding
the proposition made by a number of
South American nations that the peo-
pies of the western hemisphere should
unite in establishing wide neutral
zone along the American shores. allow
ing coastwise trade to proceed unham-
pered.
Secretary Bryan made this clear be-
fore starting on a brief speaking tour
in the west. He said, however, that
he would take this matter UP with the
President on his return to Washington.
Proposals Outlined.
The Peruvian minister communicated
to Mr.. Bryan in detail yesterday the
proposal of his government for the es-
tablishment of a neutral zone in the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. In effect
it would extend the territorial waters
of neutral countries from the present
limit of three miles to a designated
| meridian within which merchantmen of
all nations would be free from moles-
tation.
Ambassador da Cana of Brazil took
up with Mr.. Bryan. in another confer
ence, the general subject Of concerted
| action on the part of the pan American
republics to effect a restoration of trade
between the two continents. He had
been instructed to sound the American
government as to It's attitude toward
the various suggestions which had been
advanced. but Mr.. Bryan informed him
the Washington government had not
determined upon it's course.
The Brazilian government has ad-
vanced no proposal, but has been anx-
ious to ascertain the attitude Of the
American government toward sugges-
tions of this kind before making formal
| suggestions.
Bryan Declines Discussion.
| Beyond admitting that the various
suggestions were under careful con-
sideration, Secretary Bryan declined to
discuss the position of the Washington
government. To one diplomat, however.
he pointed put the desire Of the United
States to take no action which would
meet with disfavor by any of the prin-
| cipal belligerents and might impair
the influence Of this government when
the time for the settlement of the war
arrived.
| While the Latin American diploma is
exchanged views Of the different pro-
ward the European diplomats said they
were uninformed as to the attitude of
their respective governments. At the
British and German embassies it was
stated that as no definite proposal had
been agreed upon by the Latin Ameri-
can diplomats and no formal communi-
cation had been made as yet to their
governments, so far as was known
pere, no opinion could be expressed.

Russian shipping companies at
Odessa have withdrawn their ships
from the Black sea and the sea of Azov
as a consequence of the Turkish naval
supremacy in those waters. A bonn

WAR AREA NOW EQUALS
58 PER CENT Of GLOBE
More Than Half of Worlds Popula-
ton Classed as Technically
Belligerent.


LONDON. November 16.-With the ad-
dition of Turkey and Portugal to the
ranks Of the belligerents. the area of
hostilities has been extended to ap-
proximately 5S per cent of the land
surface of the globe and about Sc per
cent of the total population of the earth
must be claSsed as technically belliger-
ent, says the London Daily Chronicle.
In round numbers, out of total land
surface of 51.500.000 square miles (eN-
cluding the uninhabitable regions in the
arctic and antarctic), 3G,000.000 square
miles are occupied by the eleven beuiger
ent powers, and about 1,o0O,0o0,0e0 of
the 1,S00, 100000 human beings OH earth
are directly involved in the great war.
Apportioning the area and popula-
tion between the two opposing groups,
IL will be found that there is a vast
preponderance of both on the side of
Britain and her allies, which own H.
100000 square miles and have about
S4o,000.000 people under their rule,
against the 100000 square miles and
100, 100000 people to the credit of Ger
many, Austria Hungary and Turkey.
Analysis by Continents.
If the affected areas are analyzed by
continents. it will be found that in Eu-
rope 100000 square miles out Of total
area of 3,S50.0OO and 3S0,pe0,000 people
out of 415,000,0 ,000-or nearly so per
cent in both cases--are at war
In Asia the belligerent area amounts
TO $500. 900 square miles Qeaving out
of account the interior of Arabia-a po-
! litical no mans land of about million
square miles,, the total area of the
g re
miles Hence, over 56 per cent is at
! war. OF the population of Asia 4'o,-
| 0OO. 600 out of $4,000, ,000-say 404a per
| cent-must be classed as belligerent.
| Africa is. proportionately, even more
| ,rtected than Europe. About 1o.5O0,0OO
| square miles out of 00,000--nearly
| 80 per cent-and 125.O00,000 of the
| 49, 900 900 inha than 90
per cent-are at war. the only heu-
| trail regions are the Italian and Span
| Ssh colonies, and the natlVe states ol
| Abyssinia and Liberia.
Highest Percentage.
| Curiouslv enough, Australasia and
Oceania although the most remote
| from the primary zone of hostilities
have the highest percentage of bel
ligerency Of any of the continental di-
visions Of the earth, more than 95 per
| cent in area and "a per cent in popu-
| lation.
| South America occupies the happiest
position all. out of an area of more
| than 100000 square miles and a pop
ulation of about 100000 only 12S,500
square miles of territory and 100000
human beings are subject to any of
| the combatants.
The percentage Of area is less than
| Of IL
Thus the continent whose very name
was formerly regarded as denoting the
| most favorable soil on earth for the
termination of wars has, strangely
enough, the distinction of being almost
entirely at pe>ce, while more than half
| Of the world is at war.
