WOMAN'S XOTE ANT» WAK
Thw eminent English equal
suffragist, Mrs. pathlck-Lawvence,
lecturing in < aia country In
advocacy of the causa, makes "so
t>t' the Kuropean *ar iu her ar
guments. In audition to votes
for women, she urges representa
tion of women and woman's view
point in whatever peace negotia
tions follow the war, participation
by women in the proceedings of
The Hague conferences and the
ratification of all treaties by popu
lar vote—including, of course, the
vot© of -womanhood.
These proposes are proper
corollaries, natural sida issues, of
the equal sr.ifi.v* proposition.
Much may be said iu their favor,
as much can be and has been said
in support of the main issue. But
how much credit can bo given her
t!r.im that the whole strength of
woman's influence would be exert
ed against war?
It W not recorded that the
women ol Oertcirnv, France, Great
Britain or any other of the war
ring nations brought to bear any
perceptible influence agaiust the
declaring of war, or are now ex
e.ting an influence against its con
tinuance. Ou ilia contrary, the
women of all the engaged coua
trie.» have been represented as sup
porting the war no le«s patriotical
ly and enthusiastically than the
tjUMi and as doing their utmost to
iMi>.ke possible its carrying on to
the end.
To be sa;\», they have not the
^otes Whef er woman's influence

greater or more direct. It aeo ns

• LITTLE JAPAN"
On the map Japan looks small.
Its nearest neighbors are
China and Siberia, tWo countries
of vast extent. The Japanese
Islands lit, close to the coast of
the largest of the continents. And
because the Japanese themselves
are small men, a* a general rule,
and because they live In small
dwellings and have a taste for
daintlnees In art, it Is still quite
natural "for Americans to speak of
"little Japan."
But Japan Is far from being a
little nation. A recent official
document dealing with financial
Jnd economic conditions in Japan
shows that at the beginning of
the present yeir the population of
the Japanese Empire was 72,767.
000. Its area was 258,575 Bquare
miles. That is, the Japanese em
pire was larger m area and in
population than any ccuntry in
.Europe except Russia. This com
parison, however, is harly fair be
cause Chosen (Korea) is reckoned
as a part of the empire, though its
People are by no mean3 Japanese,
either in blood or in seatimeut.
But Japan itself, without the
.outlying possessions, has 53,600,
000 inhabitants, a number sur
passed, in Europe, only by Russia
and Germany. As for area, the
Japanese islands, not counting
Formosa or tbf Japan«® part of
Saghalin, are much larger than
I the British Isles. Their population
is about 14.000,000 greater than
that of France, about 1,000,000
J mora than that of Austria-Hun
gary, and 6,000,000 in excess of
the population of Great Britain
and Ireland.
3uch figures and facts uo not be
long to a little country. They neod
only the support of quality in the
people of an empire to make it
one of the most powerful states
o* the world. Japan has proved
both the quality and the power.
