Ouer Half the People of
The World Now at War

In Asia the belligerent area amounts
to 100000 square miles Qeaving out
of account the interior of Arabia-a
political no mans land, of about a
million square miles,, the total area
of the continent being about 16,50O,000
square miles. Hence over Sc per cent
is at war. Of the population of Asia
475,0OO,OOO out of 9S0,OO0,O0O = say
48 IL per cent.-must be classed as
belligerent.
Africa is, proportionately, even more
affected than Europe. About 10,500,000
square miles out of 1,700, 000-nearly
80 per cent.-and 125,000,000 of the
137,00O,0O0 inhabitants-over 80 per
cent.-are at war. The only neutral
regions are the Italian and Spanish
colonies, and the native states of Abys-
sina and Liberia.
Curiously enough, Australia and
Oceania, although the most remote
from the primary zone of hostilities,
have the highest percentage of belli-
gerency of any of the continental d.
visions of the earth, over 95 per cent.
in area and "a per cent. in popula-
ton.
South America occupies the happiest
position of all. Out Of an area of over
100000 square miles and population
of about 100000, only 12S,30O square
miles of territory and $4,000 human
beings are subject to any of the COM
batants
The percentage of area is less than
2, and that of population less than 1.

JAPs PLEASED WITH
CAPTAIN Of ISLAND
(By Associated Press.)

TOXIC, Nov. 23.-The occupation of
the South Sea islands has greatly
pleased the Japanese. One historian
claims that ITALIAN, or Kusaie Island
in the East Carolines was inhabited
by the Japanese in ancient days. In
the heart of the island forest, he says,
may be seen the ruins of an old cas-
tie resembling closely those seen in
the more ancient parts of Japan. The
remnants of the system of fortifica-
tons shows it to be an exact copy of
the type constructed in the early Toku-
gawa period. 1t was at this epoch
that many Japanese warriors and pub
licists went to the South Seas, having
to leave the Island Kingdom for politi-
cal reasons.

Before Close street Learns II Had
Assumed Too Much In Believ-
ting Wilson Favored
Increase

NEW YORK, Feb. iS.-Tbe stock mar
ket was upset today by conflicting re-
ports concerning the probable disposition
OF prices hinged almost entirely on these
reports, which. as they gained circula-
ton In Wall street, were so contradictory
that before the day was done speoulators
were badly confused. The story OF the
day illustrated, the part which surmise
and conjecture sometimes play in the
affairs OF the stock market,
Uncertainty as to the disposition by
the Interstate Commerce Commission or
the eastern railroads application for a
b per cent increase in freight rates has
eNerted a repressive influence on the
market for so long that spectators We're
greatly relieved when news came from
Washington that President Wilson fa-
Nored n speedy decision. The street, how
ever, did not stop at that, but jumped to
the conclusion that the president favored
an increase in rates, A Wall street news
agency published the statement that in
formation from "a source close to the In
terstate Commerce commission" indicated
that "a favorable decision" would be
rendered at an early date.
on the strength OF these assumptions
the market which had been duh and ir-
regular earlier In tho day, advanced
strongly, The railroad stocks led the
unturn, but were followed readily by the
industrials and most of the representa-
more.
Half an hour before the close the street
learned that 1t had assumed too much.
Chairman Clark OF the Interstate Com
merce commission was quoted In
Washington dispatch as saying that
President Wilson had expressed no
opinion regarding the merits OF the freight
rate case. Traders who had bought stocks
on the theory that the matter was as
good as settled. hastily threw over their
holdings and the market slumped swiftly
Much OF the days gain was lost, although
the market closed with general show
int OF fair advances.
The weekly steel trade review reported
further increase In new orders Pressed
report showing gain of 81 4O4. goo in
net Otherwise there was little to in
tluence the course of the market, aside
from the freight rates case. London did
little here.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par

unchanged on call.

Some livellness on the bull side In tho
wheat pit resulted at one time owing to
sharp advance OF prices on LaPlata
CargoCs at Antwerp. The effect, how
ever, was more than offset afterward by
rumors that one OF the largest grain
companies here was selling wheat
against purchases OF corn. The company
referred to had previously advocated
buying wheat and selling corn.
Beginning OF the corn harvest In Ar
gentina, implying shipments Of the new
crop soon from that country had a bear
ish influence on the price OF the cereal
here So also did news OF cheap offers
OF Danubian corn TO be delivered at New
York. Assertions Of arrivals here being
likely TO diminish on account OF rains
clogging country roads had only tenn
porary effect and there was no lasting
result either from the fact that shipping
demand had somewhat improved Cover
ing by shorts gave oats at first an up-
pearance OF independent strength. In
the end, however. the market suffered a
setback with other grain.
Buyers backed away from provisions
because of the weakness of cereals. Con-
fidence OF holders was somewhat unset
tied, too, by the increase shown in hog
packing since November /, as compared
with year ago.
