Who Represented United States?


The Republican Publicity .Associa-
ton, through its President, Hon.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., has given out
the following statement from its
Washington headquarters:
One of the outstanding features
Of the treaty of peace is the immense
accretions Of territory that the
British Empire is to receive under
its terms. Few people realize the
tremendous extent Of the dom;nions
Of the English crown. With the
British Isles as nucleus. comprising
an area OF about 10000 square
miles. the English government start
ed on a policy Of expansion about
the middle of the 18th century. For
ocer $50 years that policy has been
steadily pursued until. at the begin
ming of the war the empire included
the enormous area Of 13,153,712
square miles. Exclusive of the polar
iC6IcAS, tiIo ltplCoChto dlIthoSl ca
actly one quarter Of the total land
area of the whole r'-''7. 4 glance at
the figures will show how completely
the British Empire overshadows all
other large holdings of territory.
At the beginning OF the war they
stood as follows:
British Empire. 13153,7i2
Russian Empire, s641 ,657
France, 1883 ,GsS
United States. $.74s,so
Brazil 1922 90
German Empire, l,236SN
'Uf the German Empire 1,o23,6.D
square miles Of territory was repre-
scented by colonies that have been
lost as result of the war. Paris
dispatches tell us that Lloyd George
Clemenceau. and Wilson have put
their heads together and decided the
fate Of those colonies. According
to their decree manufactures have
been granted as follows:
Area. SO. mi.
To England. German East
AFRICA, oA, lu
To Tn on of So. Africa. German
Southwest Africa. 322 4O
TO New Zealand. German Samoa. 100,
To Australia, German islands
south Of Equator, $3.50
Total to British Empire. 1903 $50
Disposition to be recommended
by England and France. Togo
kamerunS, 13l, 1D
Total yet to be disposed of, pa, $50
To Japan, German islands north
Of Equator, TO
Under the above arrangement, in
which the American President has
c0dbsrated. the British Empire is to
be given the directing influence at
once over sos.o0o square miles Of
territory. and. in all probability. will
also get large slice IL not all Of the
224.S3o square miles that remain 10
bs distributed by England and
France. 1t is safe to say that 1,ooO,-
600 square miles Of the eartfs sur
face will be added to the already
tremendously swollen holdings of
the British Empire. 1t is true that
that the English influence is to go
under the name of mandatory" but
everybody familiar With British
methods and tenacity in the past
knows that a mandatory will be but
the stepping stone to complete con-
troll In the not distant future.
1.-THE cost Of the war to Englan nd
has been great, but with this enor-
nous addition to her domain. to-
gether with the share of the German
cash indemnity that she will re-
ceive. tke empire will not only be
compensated for her war expendi-
lures. but will show in valuable pos
sessions, a substantial balance on the
credit side of the ledger"

UNION LEADERS MEET TOD|SCUSS PENDING
 RAILWAY QUESTIONS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Pending railroad legislation will be discussed at two meetings to be held tomorrow in Washington, while at a third the question of an increase in the wages of railroad employees is to be consid- cred.
 Foremost among the meetings will be the conference, called for o'clock, by Samuel Gompers, at which chiefs of the four railroad brotherhoods and heads of ten affiliated trades are ex- pected to decide on the attitude to be assumed by organized railroad work CTS toward the anti-strike provision of the Cummins railroad bill. None of the four brotherhood chiefs had ar several presidents of the other unions were reticent as to the action to be taken. The view was generally ex- pressed. however, that the railroad workers would adopt a declaration of principles in accord with the stand taken by the railway machinists' union, which has voted to strike if the more drastic labor provision of the Cummins bill are placed on the statute books.
 The question of an increase in the pay of shop employees, pressure for the settlement of which was postponed last fall at the suggestion of President Wilson pending tho governments eff forts to reduce living costs, will come up at the conference which committees representing six shop trades plan to have during the day with Director General Hines.
