•
In England alone there were last year 701 people to each square mile of land, and, including mountain ous and comparatively sparsely populated Wales, the number only falls to 649. These figures give to England the distinction of being, few small islands apart from such as Barbados and Bermuda, the most densely-populated ecuntry
in the world.
Belgium, which comes next, has 033 head of population per square mile, Holland 580, Japan 39%,
Germany 245, France 184, and the United States a mere 35. Despite the toll of the war and the ravages of disease, our population in 1920 wus, roughly, 2,250,000 more than in 1914. Further, nearly 50 per Icent of our people live in cities
