Wounded and Prisoners A despatch from Paris says': "On -our left wing our success con- tinues, our advance has continued north of the Marne and in -the di- rection of Soissons and Compeigne, The Germans left behind for ne a considerable quantity of • supplies,. wounded and prisoners. "We oap•tured another flag, "The British army took 11 :can- non, an important lot of supplies and from 1,200 to, 1,500 prisoners. "At the centre the enemy re- treated. along the whole front be- tween Sezanne and Revigny. In Argonne the Germans have not as yet retreated. Despite ebur troops' splendid effort during +tire 'last five days' battle, they stili have enough energy left to pursue the . enemy. On our right wing in Lorraine and the Vosges there is nothing new." The Position- Reviewed. "The army was able • to escape from the enveloping movement and threw itself with the greater part Of its forces .against' our enveloping wing to the north'of the Marne and the west of the .Dureq, But the French troops which were operating in this region, powerfully aidedi by the bravery of our British allies, in- flicted consideraible dosses on the enemy, and have held their 'posi- tion for :the time necessary to per- mit our offensive to progress else= where. "Meanwhile, the Franco -English` forces which were operating south of the Marne did not cease to pur- sue their offensive, ua part of them in the region :to the ,south of the forest of Crecy and others in the region bo the north of Provins, and to the south of Esternay they have debouched from the Marne to the. north of Chateau Thierry. "Severe fighting has taken place, from the beginning in the neighbor- hood of La Festa Gancher, Ester - nay anal. Montanirail. The left wing of the array of General. von Kink, as wn,ll as the army of General von Buelow, are falling back before oar troops. It isin the region between the .plateaux to the. north of Se- zanne and Vitry-le-Francois that the most violent, fighting has taken place „ Reason Enough.

When Europe goes to war the fate of millions of square aniles of terri- tory and of tens of millions of men, women and oliildren outside of Eu- ropa are involved in. the conflict., Not one of the five oonldnen•ts and not ono of the seven Seas but has 'a stake in the continental struggle. Ye-st'axntica are massed in Europe, but.little dots of islands in the een- tee of the Pacific, great tracts of territory in what used to be called the Dark Continent, and wedges of concessions that' have often been driven into the enormous coast lines of China ate all to be disposed of according to the outcome of the bat- tles that are to be fought thousands of utiles away from them. A bare enumeration of. the terri- tories whose destinies are now be- ing settled by the war takes one a •1d over the globe, now under the flag of one country and again ander that of another. Every continental country has been for years hustling for colonies, and these colonies now stake one of the chief prizes of the present corrfiiet, 13ohlitra and Ilium. Russia, in: +the,. two proteoto•ates over Bukhara and Khiva; controls 107,000 square miles of land' and 1,896,000 people, nob included with- in the Russian Empire, Finland, fox purposes of distribution, is held' to be a part of Russia. Belgium controls the Belgian Congo, containing 909,000 square miles and 15,000,000 of Bentus. Italy ,eontrolis Eritrea on the Red Sea, Tripoli and C,yrenaica:, and part of Somaliland. •• The first men- tioned has an area of 45,800 square miles., an eighth:larger than Ohio, with . a population of 450,000; So- inalilaad has an wren ,of 39,430 and a population of 400,000 native's. Tripoli and Oyrenaiea have an` area of 406,000 square miles and a popu- lation estimated at 523,I76.

Gar- man Southwest Africa has an arca of 2,245 squame mules, and to popiila- bion of whites; of. 14,833, and a'n,s- tire populelih:tt of 79,556; In Asia lith' • jewels .consist, of tilal chat; :aegn•ined in .1897, with an. area or only 200 square miles, but a popnittion of 168,000.' That is ,the seat of the • Eastern ""laiipixe : -the Kaiser' hoed -to establish on the of Oihrna. .In the Pacific 0ecitn Germany has as large a collection of islands, numerically; speaking, as the United States, including the new'•Guinsa, Marshall, Solo- mon and Caroline Islands and part of Samoa, fat which the United States also has an interest. •France • overseas has possessions putting her away ahead of all those engaged in th•e war other. than Great Britain. She regards Algeria and Tunis, in North Africa, par- ticularly the former, as part of France. Tunis is attached to the ministry of 'foreign affairs, while other ebionies, created as a dapart- lnent of the government in 1894. French colonies have • a large mea- sure of self-government. The older ones, such as Reunion, Martinique and Guadeloupe, have representa- tion in the French Parliament. Each of those mentioned has a senator and two deputies. French India (Pondicherry), for many years the football between the Dutch, the Frcnoh asld the En+glisls from the middle of the 17th to the beginning of the 19th centuries, has a senator and one deputy in the Parliament, while Senegal, Guiana and Cochin China have each a deputy. Are Represented by Senator's. The other colonies are represent- ed in the Conseil Superieur des Col- onies, consisting of senators and deputies from colonies, delegates from those not represented in Par- 1iament and persons especially ap- pointed to that assembly for consid- ering coi,onial affairs. Tho possessions in Asia have a to- tal area of 310,376 miles and popu- lation of 10,773,300. In Africa the area is 4,184,401, with a population of 25,681,263. In America the area is 35,162 and a population of 446,- 720, chief of which is French Guiana with an area: of 34,000. St. Pierre and Miquelon on the Newfoundland coast, have an area of only 96 square miles, almost equal to the original District of Columbia, with a population of 423. The island of Martinique came into notice in 1902 on iaccount of the eruption of -Mt. Pelee, the volcano constituting the northern point of the island, which resulted, in the de- struction of the city of St. Pierre and the loss of about 25,000 lives. In the Pacific ocean the French republic. controls' New Caledonia and Tahiti, with an area of 7,200 and a population of 50,500. British Possessions, Huge, The British colonial possessiom:s are +the whole of the Australia conn, nent, Canada, the former Boer Re- public, Somaliland, "Benchunaland, India, Victoria Islands off the coast of China, Harbor.' of Weihaiwei, tale Federated Mayay States in the Ma- lay Peninsula; and part of Borneo and New Zealand.
