In west Flanders reports from many s ?urc-es indicate that all tiie military operation- have been completely suspended, while along the rest cf the western line only desnl orv artillerj. duels prevent the front from giving the impression that a truce exists. (A new crop of stories as arisen that the Gei mans are sending heavy guns and submarines by rail to Belgium. destined fcr the coast, while of.:or reports declare t at long trains, capable all told of moving 200,000 men. are being prepared to take German reinforcements to the eastern front. Vienna and Berlin agree that notning decisive has occurred in Poland, while Petrograd claims that the German offensive between the Warta and the Visiu'a has been checked so definitely that l e Russians have beer: enabled to resume the aggressive, an attitude which they sign::Iizei by t e cap-tr.re ot' a battery of German artillery :o e northwest of Lodz. This, i true, indicates-the possibility that the Germans are in dinger of being outflanked. Xevert eless, it is apparent that the two armies are lacing each other and waiting for the next move on what may prove to be one of tiie most Decisive uataes 01 i e fusiern campaign. A week ago the Germans were retreating from Warsaw. They turned at Bayon, reaching tae territory controlled by their own strategic railroad system and brushing aside the Russ;an cavalry, they began to push back the army of Emperor Nicholas until a .position between the Vistula and the Warta was reached. This is the | point where the experts predicted t.:at the Germans would make their j stand on the retreat from Warsaw.: Now the re-oocupation of this line ' probably will mean that the second ( ?* - ? ao 117 \ P^aSf t>L lilt* iruiisu uiinpaio" ' proceed cn the more or less expected ' Jines.

Nov. 21.?With the addition i of Turkey and Poiiugal to tae ranks cf the belligerents, the area of hostili- | ties has been extended to approximately ">3 per cent, o U.e land surface of the globe, and about 36 per cent, of the total population o: the earth must be classed as techincally belligerent, says the London Daily Chronicle. In round numbers, out of a total land surface of 51 ,">00,000 square miles ; excluding t' e uninhabitable regions in Arctic* and Antarctic) '30.000 - 000 .square miles is occupied by t. e 11 belligerents powers, and about 1,000,000.000 of t e 1,80'U300,000,000 human beings on earth are direct v involved in tue great war. A? orticnin? t::e area and population be. ween the t wo opposing groups it will be found that there is a vast predominance oi* botC on the side of Britain and her allies, which own 27..">00.000 souare miles and haVe about 840,000,000 people under their rule, pgalnst the 2.000,000 square miles and 160.000.0),'0 people to the credit of Germany, A'istria-Bungary and Turkey. If t\e affected areas are analyzed by continents, it will be found that in Europe 3,040.000 square miles out of a total area of 3,850,000 and 380,000,000 people out of 473,000,000?ir nearly SO per cent in both cases?are at war. In Asia the belligerents area amounts to 9,300,000 square miles (leaving out o." account the interior of Arabia, a political no man's land, of about a million square miles), the total area of the continent being about 16,500,000 square miles. Hence over 50 per cent is at war. Of the population of Asia 475.000.000 out of 980.000. 000?say 40 1-2 per cent.?must be classed as belligerent. Africa is. proportionately, even more effected than Eiirope. About "10,500.000 suare miles out of 11,700.000?nearly 90 per cent?and 125,000,000 of the 137.000,000 inhabitants? over 90 per cent?are at "war. The only neutral regions are tfhe Italian and Spanish colonies, and the native States of Abyssinia and Liberia. Curisouly enough, Australasia and Oceani^, although jhe most remote from the primary zone of hostilities, I ihave the highest percentage of belli gerency oi' any of the continental dii visions o t'.:e earth, over 95 per cent. ii: area, and 94 per cent in population. P^fM1 ; South America occupies the hap'; st position of all. Out of an area over square miles and a population of about 32,500,000, only JBL ? 12s,."0i? square miles of territory and ."">0.000 human beings are subject to any of the combatants. T e percentage of area is less than ;vo and of population less than one. Thus i o continent whose very name ; v.-as formerly regarded as denoting the most favorable soil on earth for the ' germination of wars has, strangely ! enough, the distinction of "being al- j 1 ircst entirely at peace, while more1 Jl than half of the world is ai war. | Roller Hills.
