TOXIC. Feb. 13.-In three years To-
kio's population has grown from q
05O,126 to 2,2SS,7 1853, according to a

we're only 519,735 households.
Besides being one of the leading
population centers of the world. ia
PANS capital has the distinction OF
probably covering more ground than
any ether city. There are no apart
ments. flats" or skyscrapers in Japan
earthquakes forbid them-so the lit
tie one and two-story homes must
necessarily cover a large area.

To NEW NEUTRAL

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Herbert C.
Hoover, chairman of the American
Commission for Relief in Belgium, de-
clared today that no immediate hard
ships will be caused the ten million
persons heretofore fed by the commits
sion as a result of the withdrawal of
Americans from Belgium, in accord
ance with a recent order of the Ger
man officials there.
With the establishment of the new
German submarine blockade it became
impossible to furnish further supplies
to distressed Belgians, and after the
severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween Washington and Berlin, Gov
Gen. Won Bissing ordered the deporta-
tion of all Americans in the conquer
Ell provinces. The huge stores already
collected by the American commission
and being administered In the interest
of Belgian civilians will be left be-
hind, these being sufficient to sustain
the remaining dependent inhabitants
during a brief period.
The commission is now at work on
plans having for their object the trans
fer of the relief work to another neu-
trail organization, which would work
under supervision of the Germans in
administering American relief contri-
buttons.

COLUMBUS, N. NJ, Feb. 1S.-The
occupation OF Palomas, Mexico, six
miles south of here and just across
