Fur an empire deficient in
transportation facilities and
at times loosely organized, Turkey
is bei i? attacked at au extraordi
nary uumber of points. The Sul
tana soliders are fighting at four
l-laces, widely separated, and they
are menaced in two other districts.
There :s a formidable Invasion
at thw mouth of the Dardanelles
which W directed against Con
stantinople. Another srmy is pre
p.t.frs: to attack Smyrna, already
besieged by sea. Russian armies
are 03 trying on a campaign
ag:ni!>t the Sultan's forces ou the
frontier of Turkish Armenia. An
Aiglo-Iadiaa army has invaded
Turkish territory at the head of
•'.u? Persian gulf and advanced
about -ighty miles up the rich val
!ey thiough which the waters of
Tigris and the Euphrates reach
t^c sen.
Russ;;,n naval demonstrations
sgrilnst the Turkish forts at the
Uivlc Sea eud of the Bosporus may
l)e fo"owed by the landing of a
Russian army on the coast north
of hat strait. It is a chance which
th.» Tii-kjsh government has to
take into account. Collisions with
British forces at tho head of the
Red Per? may take r,a«- at any
tirnt if the Turks hav-> not entirely
.:band led their proposed cam
paign atainst Egypt.
If the Ottoman empire can sur
vive all of these attacks and dan
gers and triumph ove- its foes It
will plain to the world that
Turkey has entered upon a new
period of progress and vitality.
JAPAN
! —
It is still quite the usual thing
| to Ue*r Japan spoken of as a
I small state. Contrasted with the
} bulk o£ China, for instance, It is
| uot strange that men think of
"Little" Japan, and tha next near
i est neighbor of the Japanese is
Russia, another enormous empire.
Hut only such comparisons make
' Japan seem small. The Japanese
islands, including Formosa, have
I an area o* over 160,000 square
j miles. They are bigger than
C reat Britain and Ireland, larger
] than Italy. With Korea, now en
i tirely a part of Japan, added, the
area of the Japanese empire is over
24t>,uoo square miles. That is a
greater area than Germany has or
r'rauce. Russia and Austria-Hun
gary are the oniy countries in Eu
rope .which are more extensive.
The oopulation of Japan, not in
cluding Korea or Formosa, is now
•:'bout 53,500,000. It is larger than
me population of any country In
Europe except Russia and Ger
many. It exceeds the population
cf France by about 1 *000,000 and
the British Isles are surpassed by I
fully 6,000,000. Add Formosa and
the total for Japan is raised to
57,000,000. Include Korea and it
becomes no less than 70,000,000, or
about 2,000,000 more than the in
habitants of Germany.
Such facts amply prove that
Japan, as a nation, is not little. On
the contrarv the Japanese are a
numerous, powerful, ambitious
{.eople, quite formidable enough to
be taken into very serious con
sideration by any other country,
however gmit and rich, proud and
confident it may be.

Viutua5 Aid, Not Competition, Will Make

' s Dr. J \MES J. WALSLi of Ca nedral Colege, New York City
WllATKX EK men have accomplished that was really worth while
ha* been done not by competition, but by mutual aid. The at
tempt to justify the worst side of man's nature from biology
fails entirely. Even nations represent attempts of mutual aid on a large
scale.
WHAT WE NEED NOW IS MUTUAL AID ON A WORLD SCALE AND
THE RECOGNITION OF THE FACT THAT AL^. MEN ARE BROTHERS
AND THAT THEIR INTERESTS ARE IN COMMON AND NOT IN COMPE
TITION.

Comforting Words
Many an Alaskan Household Will
Find Tliwn So.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous ur
inary disorders, is to make any
kidney sufferer grateful. The fol
lowing advice of oue who has suf
fered will prove comforting words
to hundreds of Alaskan readers.
P. E. Sanderson, 819 First St.,
San Diego, Cal., says: "A severe at
tack of la grippe laid me up for
five weeks. My back got very pain
ful, lame and weak. My kidneys
were in bad shape. 1 felt all
run down. I read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and got a box. They
fixed me up all right. Whenever I
have taken cold 011 my kidneeys
6ince, 1 have used Doan's Kidney
Pills. They have always brought
good results "
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Sanderson had. Foster
