| Statistics of the size, wealth,
population, debt and strength of
the European powers will prove
interesting fora study of the news
as it comes from day to day. One
of the results of the comparison
will tend to show that the popu-
lar impression of the wealth and
the strength of France is some-
what misleading, In comparisons
as to England the population and
size is of the British empire, in-
cluding the colonies, whereas the

United Kingdom. For Germany
the revenue and debt are taken
for the empire not counting the
states. The United Sfates is “in-
eluded for comparison,’ .

As to wealth here is the order
according to late atatistics: i
