Germans Left Behind a Large Quantity of Supplies,.
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 „

SHOCK OF EUROPEAN WAR
WILL BE FELT IN DIS'T'ANT
CORNERS OF TILE EARTH.
Contending Powers have Interests
In :1I1 farts of the
,World.
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.

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,

are +the whole of the Australia conn,

public, Somaliland, "Benchunaland,
