Why japan Is Crowded.
Walter E. Weyl. In Asia.

When we grasp the smallness OF Japan
Inc the size Of it's population we readily
understand why the land Is so crowded.
Japan proper Is a narrow and dimlnutive
country. It's area OF roughly 10000 square
miles, is somewhat smaller than that Of
California, while its population is 20 times
as great. Moreover, like Italy, Japan Is
chiefly q country Of mountains n its
arabic land under cultivation amoun to
only some 5000 square miles, a farm area
less thar half hat Of the single state of
Iowa. 1t follows hat Japan is the classic
land Of intensive agriculture. It's dwar
farms are not really farms at all in our
sense of the word, but gardens. There
are no pastures, no b~arnyards. but merely
little squares of land, now covered with
water, now filled with mud drying In the
sun, and now vividly green with the beau
tlful rice plants. These little patches Of
terraced and irrigated land nave nothing
in common with our l60-acre farms. In
Japan the average agricultural family
(and there are 5,56o,0O0 of them occupy
only two and ~three-quarter acres each.
Only one family In 10 has as much as five
acres 1.-TWO cho) and over one-third Of all
rural families have farms Of less than
one and ~onc-quarter acres. It is morcelle.

To the German People.

Each to his taste: II you prefer
The kaiser's whip across your TANKS;
II you enjoy the bloody spur
That rips your cannon folders ranks)
II to his boots you still adhere,
kissing 'em as you've always kissed EN-,
Why, who are we to interfere
With your internal Teuton system?
II from your Nnds yop know quite well
You might, this moment, find release.
Changing, at will, your present hell
For Liberty's heaven Of lasting peace;
II yet. for habits sake, you choose
This reign Of steel, this rule of terror.
It's not for us to push our views
And point you out your silly error.
Herein I speak as I am taught
That your affairs are yours alone,
Though. for myself, I should have
thought
They had q bearing on my own;
Have I 40 right to interpose. a
Urging on you q free autonomy,
lust as your U-boats shove their nose
In my interior economy?
I'm told we ave no quarrel, none,
With you as Germans. That's absurd
Myself. I hate all sorts Of Hun,
Yet will I say one kindly word:
II, still refusing Freedoms part,
You keep the old Potsdam connection
With all my sympathetic heart
I wish you Joy Of that selection.

"lt Is Guynemer."
Charles Bernard Nordhoff. in the Atlantic
Monthly.

Charles Bernard Nordhoff, IN the Atlantic
Monthly.
Guynemer, the great French lace" has
disappeared, and from accounts Of the
fight one fears hat he is dead. What n
loss to France and to the allies! the end
Of a career of unparalleled romantic bril-
uancy.
I shall never forget one evening In
Paris last spring. / was sitting In tho
Cafe de la Paix, under the long awning
that fronts the Boulevard des Capucines.
All Paris was buzzing with Gllynemer's
mighty exploit Of the day before - four
German planes in one fight, two Of them
sent h~urtling down In flames within 60
seconds. II took one back to the old days,
and one foresaw that Guynemer would
take his place with the legendary heroes
Of France, with Roland and Oliver, Arch
bishop Turpin, Saint Louis and Charles
Martel.
Presently I looked up. A man was stand
Ing in the aisle before me-a slender
youth, rather, dressed In the black and
silver uniform of a captain in the French
aviation. Delicately built, of middle
height. with dark, tired eyes set In a pale
face, he had the look Of a haggard boy
who had crowded the experience OF a life
time into a score Of years. n mouth

Cross Of st. George, English Military
Cross and others too rare for recognition.
All about me there arose a murmur of
excited interest; chairs were pushed back
and tables moved as the crowd rose to
Its feet. Cynical Swiss walters. with arm
loads of pink and green drinks, halted
agape. a whisper, collective and distinct,
passed along the terrace: 1T Is Guy.
nemer!"
The day before, over the fiery lines,
he had lone battle for his life; II this
evening. in the gay security Of Paris. he
received the homage Of the people who
adored him.
He had been looking for a table, but
when It became no longer possible TO
the stir, he raised his right hand In
Embarrassed salute and walked quickly
into the cafe.

Names of the Prosecuted.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
Mr.. TrotZky's family name Of Bronstein.
or Braunstein, Is one of those innumerable
cognomens compounded OF German and
common to Jews in eastern Europe. At
the partition Of Poland, most Polish Jews
were without family names, and, as they
were simply known by such patronymics
as Isaac, Solomon, or Moses, the Prusslan
and Austrian officials of the time mann
featured surnames for them by the thous-
and. The names themselves indicated
that the sponsors undertook their task fl
q vein of mockery. They ran through
the whole gamut OF flowers, animals,
colors, n stones, and even INDUCED In
srotesque humor. Some persons were
identified with localities, such as the
Rhine. When the east European Hebrew

1t is significant that the obituaries
Of Abdul Hamid have been much more
restrained than would have been the
case if the Red Sultan had departed
this life a few years ago. The reason
is not that the issues of the war have
swamped interest in the decease OF n

The Clothes of q Spy.
George A. Schreiner, In Harper's
Magazine.

oSOASo ~ SSilItllloi, Al aIpcT
Magazine.
Since the subject of espionage Is very
much to the fore these days, I will 70
briefly into the theory and practice OF
espionage. combining myself to what Is
known to all general staffs as secret
field intelligence" This polite term Is
given by q general staff only to Its w
agents; the agents of the other side are
known os spies. This Is a little incon-
~sistent, Of course
Whether an intelligence officer Is a spy
or mere scout depends entirely on how
he is dressed at tho time. If in uniform
he becomes a prisoner Of war when cap
tured, and as a rule he is confined In a
fortress. If he has assumed disguise he
faces the firing squad next morning.
The fact that an officer has spied pom
the enemy in civilian clothing does not
MAKE him the les3 honored among his
brothers-in-arms. On tho contrary. being
selected for the secret field intelligence
service Is looked upon by the more dar-
ing as a raro distinction. A commander
would be court martlaled If 1t became
known that he had failed to wall himself,
for reasons OF honor Of important infor-
nation brought In by his agents and had
for that reason mismanaged an action.
Espionage is a necessary adjunct to any
military establishment-so necessary, In
fact, that the spies Of the antagonist are
done to death when Caught.

WIDOW OF GENERAL
MAUDE REMEMBERED
King George Asks Parliament to
Make Her Special Grant
of $125, 900.
BY Associated Press.

London. (by mail).- There was q
stir in the House Of Commons the other
day when the Prime Minister, David
Lloyd George, suddenly appeared on
the floor just before h close with an
important looking document In his
hand. Instantly members began to
speculate as to what might be the sub
1ect OF n announcement he was to
make.
The premier started talking conf
dentially with one Of the under war
ministers as soon as he had taken his
seat on the treasury bench, and 1t was
Immediately inferred by observers that
the subject vas military, possibly the
military situation in Ireland or some
development on the fighting fronts.
Other members noticed that Mr.. Lloyd
George was in good spirits and be-
gan whispering about the likelihood Of
q great victory somewhere, or perhaps
good news from the Irish convention.
Then the prime minister arose. His
message was a signed document from
the king, asking h authorization Of
parliament for a grant Of $125,000 to
LADY Maude, the widow Of General
Frederick Stanley Maude. who COM
manded the British expedition that cap
tured Kut and Bagdad. The general.
after a wonderful career of victory, died
a poor man, leaving hardly more than
enough to pay his funeral expenses.
The kings request was referred to its
proper committee and it Is expected
that the grant will. in due course, be
made.
The habit Of recognizing great VIC
tories by public grants Of money Ia an
old one in England, and most Of the
great British soldiers Of the old wars
benefited by It.
Wellington received three different
grants, amounting in all to So, 500, 900.
Lord Roberts received $500, 900 in 1901,
and Kitchener received $500, 900 for his
work in the Soudan and South Africa.
