The campaign for additional sigma.

progressing throughout Kentucky.
About 100000 women have signed, but
100000 have not, and the campaign
will continue until every one of the
100000 aveeither signed or positively
refused to do so. In some Of the coun-
ties the newspapers are printing the
names Of those who sign. In those
counties everybody knows that those
whose names are not printed are not
trying to win the war, and are not good

In an interview today, Fred. M,

people OF the state in all the effort.
which the Administration at Washing

gratifying. In war times prices of all
foodstuffs are high, yet high prices in

Why Japan Is Crowded.
Walter g. Weyl. In Asia.

When ne grasp the sma1ir1ess OF Japan
and the size OF its population we readily
understand why the land is SO crowded.
Japan proper is a narrow and din1inutive
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 a country of mountains and its
arabic land under cultivation amounts to
only some 5000 square miles. farm area,
less than half that OF the single state of
Iowa. 1t follows that Japan Is the classic
land OF intensive agriculture. Its dwarf
farms are not really farms at all in our
sense OF the word, but gardens There
are no pastures, no barnyards. but merely
little squares Of land, now covered with
water. now filled with mud drying In the
sun, and now wildly green with the bcau-.
tifu1 rice plants. These little patches of
terraced and irrigated land have nothing
in common with our 160-acre farms In
Japan the average agricultural family
(and there are 6.6500O0 of them) occupy
only two and three-quarter acres each
Only one family in 10 has as much as five
acres Qwo cho) and over one-third Of all
rural families have farms OF less than
ono and cne-quarter acres. 1t Is mercelle-
ment csrried to tragic absurdity.

Names Of the Prosecuted.

From the CHRISTIAN science monitor.
Mr.. Trotzky's family name Of Bronstein,
or Braunstein, is ono Of those innumerable
cognonens 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 patronyn1ics
as Isaac. Solomon, or Moses, the Prussian
and Austrian officials Of the time manu-
featured surnames for them by the thous-
and. The names themselves indicated
that the sponsors undertook their task I'll
. vein of mockery. They ran through
The whole gamut Of flowers, animals,
colors, and stones, and even INDUCED in
Erotesque hun1or. Some persons were
identified with localities, such as the
Rhine. When the east European Hebrew
turned socialist, he in common with Gen
I tile comrades assumed so-called party
names for in those days the revolu-

It is significant that the obituaries
of Abdul Hamid have been much more
restrained than would have been the
ease II 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 a
ieposed despot, but that Abdul Humid

Tho Clothes Of q Spy.
George A. Schreiner, In Harper's
Magazine.


Magazine.
Since the subject Of espionage is very
much to the fore these days I win 20
briefly into the theory and practice Of
espionage. confining myself to what is
known to all general STATS as secret
field Intelligence" This polite term Is
given by g general staff only to its own
agents: the agents OF the other side are
known as spies. This is little neon
Whether an Intelligence officer Is spy
or mere scout depends entirely on how
he is dressed at the time. If In uniform
he becomes a prisoner OF war when cap
tuTed, and as a rule he is confined In a
fortress. II he has assumed disguise he
faces the firing squad next morning.
The fact that an officer has spied upon
the enemy in civilian clothing does not
make him the less honored among his
brothers-in- arms. On the contrary, being
selected for the secret field intelligence
service Is looked upon by the more dar-
ing as a rare distinction. A commander
would be court martialed IL 1t became
known that he had failed to avail himself
for reasons Of honor" of important nfor-
nation brought in by his agents and had
for that reason mismanaged an action.
Espionage is necessary adjunct to any
military estabiishment--so necessary, In
fact, that the spies Of the antagonist are
done to death when caught.
