Washington, Nov. %. - American
troops which have held Vera Cruz
since last April were evacuating the
city and sailing for home today. and
while Major General Funston's latest
report to the war department gave no
details officials here expect sunset
will see the Mexican flag again float
ing over the ancient fortress Of San
Juan and the American troops well
on their way homeward across the
gulf
Occupation Of the Mexican port In
reprisal for Huerta's insult to the flag
at Tampico has cost the Uniter States
more than score of lives. some in
battle and some from disease. and ac-
cording TO some estimates as much as
$40, 900. 600, but Mexico will be asked
to pay no indemnity. Administration
officials want that fact TO stand out
as an added evidence of the disinter-
ested friendship of the Omitted States
for her southern neighbors.
Nc Faction Recognized.
General Funston has instructions to
turn the city over to none OF the Mexi-
can factions and thereby avoid what
might be construed as recognition of
one Of them. His orders simply are
to bring his troops away and leave the
city to which ever faction takes pos
session.
Carranza's commander, Aguiler, is
nearest, but Carranza troops which
have swerved in their allegiance to
Villa are not far dista9t. There have
been some evidence that Carranza in
tended to move his capital to Vera
Cruz upon the American evacuation.
rhe Fourth, Seventh, Nineteenth and
Twenty-eighth infantry and the first
battalion of the Fourth field artillery
and two squadrons Of the Sixth caval-
ry will return to Galveston. The three
regiments Of marines will go to Phila-
delphia.

Few in England Unemployed.

Correspondence OF Associated Press.l
London. Nov. 14.-Official reports Of
the government show that unemployed
among men is now about one per cent
less than 1t was at the opening Of tho
war. These figures are somewhat sur
prising in view Of the fact that nearly
one million men have volunteered their
services and are under training In tho
army.
Men who have not entered the army
find little trouble now In finding work.
Notwithstanding the fact that thou
sands of places vacated by men have
been filled by women. The government
has hurried forward contract for the
construction of new postoffice tube.
which will give employment to thou
sands of men for year or more.

More Than SO Per Cent OF Population
Now cIassed Among 8eiIigerents.
Correspondence Of Associated Press.)
London, Nov. 14-With the addition
Of Turkey and Portugal to the ranks
OF the belligerents, the area Of hostii-
tiles has been extended to approxi-
mately IS 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 belligerent,
says the London Daily Chronicle.
In round numbers, out Of total
land surface Of 81 $780, 900 square miles
(excluding the uninhabitable regions
in the Arctic and Antarctic) 30,00o,0O0
square miles is occupied by the eleven
belligerent powers, and about 1,0O0,-
100000 Of the 1.soo,OoO.Oo0 human be-
fngs on earth are directly involved in
the great war.
Apportioning the area and popula-
ton between, 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 27.-
500, 900 square miles and have about
S40,000.00O people under their rule.
against the 2,000.000 square miles. and
160, 900, 900 people to the credit of Ger
many. Austria Hungary and Turkey.
II the affected areas are analysed by
continents, 1t viii be found that in
Europe s.04O,00o square miles out of a
total area OF s.S5000O and Ss0.00o.0oO
people out Of 475,0o0. .000-or nearly 80
per cent in both cases-are at war.
In Asia the .belligerent area amounts
to 100000 square miles. Oeaving out
Of account the interior of Arabia-a
political no mans land, of about mil
lion square miles), the total area Of the
continent being about 16.5OO,000 square
miles. Hence over Sc cent Is at war.
OF the population Of Asia 475,000,0o0
out OF 100000. 0.0o0-say 4s1z per cent
must be classed as belligerent
Africa is proportionately. even more
effected than Europe. About 10.500,000
square miles out Of 11,7OO. 000-nearly
80 per cent-and 125,00o.000 Of the 137,-
100000 inhabitants-over9 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
Oceania.. altho the most remote from
the primary zone of hostilities. haye
the highest percentage of belligerency
Of any of the continental divisions of
the earth, over 95 per cent in area,
and "a per cent in population.
South America occupies the happiest
position Of all. Out Of an area Of T.
100000 square miles and a population
Of about 52,500,000 only 12s.500 square
miles of territory and 100000 human
beings are subject to any of the COM
batants.
The percentage Of area Is less than
2 and of population less than 1.
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 al
most entirely at peace, while more than
half the world is at war.

Federal Public Health Service Issues
Circular Suggesting Suppression.
Special to Times Republican.
Washington, Nov. 23.-The United
States public-health service has taken
cognizance of the evils of the drug
store saloon. 1t has issued state
ment on the subject dealing with the
possibilities of It's elimination.
The statement says:
According to the health reports is
sued by the United States public health
service the sale Of alcoholic beverages
in some of the so-called drug stores
in prohibition or local option terri
tory has for many years been recog-
nized as one Of the more Objectionable
abuses growing out of attempts to cir
cumvent prohibition legislation. The
harm done by the surreptitious sale of
liquors in these so-called drug stores
has long been considered to be dis
grace to the drug business generally.
No class Of men appreciate more than
the retail druggists themselves the OBJ
jectionable possibilities suggested by
the frequently quoted doggerel:
Hush, little bar-room don't you cry,
You will be drug store by and by"
Reputable members Of the drug
trade frequently discussed ways and
means for eliminating the drug store
saloon but their efforts have usually
failed as the requirements Of the fed
eral internal revenue laws virtually
make those who desire to sell alcohol
or alcoholic beverages for medical or
mechanical purposes pay the regular
retail liquor dealers tax and be classed
as such.
"As practical outcome Of this re-
quirement 1t is found that the retail
druggist who wishes to carry on his
business in accordance with existing
laws and who pays the internal revenue
tax as retail liquor dealer is sus-
pected Of doing an illegitimate busi-
ness while the man who runs the risk

Vera Cruz, Nov. 23-General Funston
today established headquarters on
board the transport Cristobal and all
the organizations Of his command be-
gan at daylight the work Of moving
out their equipment preparatory to
final evacuation. Everything pro-
gressed smoothly. Beyond the Ameri
can outposts there had been mobilized
during the night force Of constitu
tionalists. AS the Americans withdrew
the constitutionalists followed them
along and nominally occupied the ter
ritory evacuated.
The city is quiet but the inha bitants
are nervous and apprehensive of the
outcome Of the transfer of authority.
All saloons remained closed today on
orders Of General Funston, and many
commercial establishments decided not
to open their doors.
The army officials are taking with
them the moneys collected for GUS
toms and other sources Of revenue.
These ultimately will go to some
Mexican government which the United
States deems proper one to receive
them.
The American quartermaster depart
ment has arranged to take away from
Vera Cruz something like 800 Mexcans
who did not care to be In the city
when their countrymen again came in
to possession.
American forces were ordered to
seize Vera Cruz in April this year on
account Of series Of acts on the part
Of Mexican authorities against which
Washington had protested in vain
Among these was an incident in Tam
pico when boat load of bluejackets
were arrested. The American marines
and bluejackets occupied Vera Cruz
with a loss of seventeen lives.
In due time the bluejackets and
marines were removed and forces of
the army under General Funston took
possession. At the time Vera Cruz was
occupied. Victoriano Huerta was pro-
visional president. Today Huerta is in
Europe and the constitutlonafsts VINO
opposed him are in control of Mexico
