and the area of the new state will be
about $4,000 English square miles.
When we recOllect that Belgium has
1873 square miles, ii is seen at a
glance that the new state can hardly
be classed as small. Moreover, the
belief in the necessity of large states,
rife in certain circles of economic and
political theorists, and largely based
upon certain teachings of Karl Marx,
is one of the superstitions that period
ically appear In order TO be abandoned
upon a sober second thought.
The theory that small states and ma
tons cannot succeed is not borne out
by history. Even prior to the war
there were in Europe 81 states, and
the great majority of these were
small. There were only six of the So
called great powers: Russia, Germany,
Austria Hungary, England, France and
Italy. Portugal, Denmark, Switzer-
land, Bulgaria, Belgium. Norway. Ser

ing to describe. The latter will hold
in Europe the eighth place, only Eng
land, Poland, France, Italy, Spain and
Russia being larger.

Richard to his desk.

Ogilvie explained lengthily that he
had the minutes of the last meeting.

him toward Estrada, who held out his

Estrada pushed the minutes through

sullen, thought he saw the meeting
managed between them.

heavy that the list had to be given out
In lnstallments. Among the victims OF
the cruel war were college professors

AS the battle progressed the younger
men and women gradually dropped out
and the last ten belonged to previous

last two were white-haired women, old
enough to be grandmothers of some Of
the contestants.
There will be those who will say
that II Is indication that the schools
Of years ago were more efficient than
the schools Of today. But they are
wrong. 1t may not even be indication
that the schools Of years ago taught

schools Of today teach 1t. Is 1t not
possible that many old people are good

and not because OF the quality Of
schooling which they receivedf Nearly
