Immense Territory Added to the
Empire, Says Report.
FORMER M. P. GIVES FIGURES
Officials at Washington Study Data
Given Out by Arthur Ponsonby-
New Territory is Half as Big
AS United States.

Washington, Feb. 21-The purpose
Of Great Britain in requesting the
United States to remit the S9,50OOOO,-
600 debt due from her and other Euro
pean nations and on which she pro-
fesses not to be able to pay interest,
Is not only to save money, but to dis
tract attention from the stupendOus
amount Of spoiS she has gathered
from the war. This belief was eN-
pressed in congressional circles in
Washington.
America and other countries it was
pointed out, are only beginning TO
realize the almost incredible size ana
overwhelming value of Great Britain's
winnings
They are greatly aided in this par
ticular by Arthur Ponsonby, a former
member of the British parliament
who, after making IA careful study of
changes in the map. due to the war,
has written an Illuminating treatise on
what he terms the lions share, which
is Icing studied with great interest by
official Washington.
In it Mr., Ponsonby shows Great
Britain gained no less than 1,4lS,O29
square miles of territory As the con-
tnental United States comprises only
3,026,7S9 square miles, it is clear that
the British empire has acquired colo
MES and mandates almost half the size
of this entire country.
Frontiers Not Fixed.
"SOme months will yet elapse be-
fore all the new frontiers are fiXed,and
before the final division of The SpOilS
Of war is made, but we can see sufli-
GENTLY clear now that the British EN-
pire is not going to come out the los
er" writes Mr., Ponsonby.
Let rs make the sum in addition
so far as we are concerned" he added,
and then gave the following final ter
ritorial accesSions and mandates
awarded to the British empire:
Egypt, formerly under Turkish SUI
zerainty, becomes part Of the British
empire; 100000 square miles.
Cyprus, ditto, 1854.
German Southwest Africa, mandate
to be held by the Union of South AZ
RIGA, $50, 400.
German East Africa, mandate to be
held by Great Britain, 3S4 $50.
"Togoland and Cameroons, to be di-
vided between Great Britain and
France, total area 224S3O square
