At the present moment Belgium, with its 598 people to the square mile of territory, has approached the eoggeation of a full world. Here the problem of transportation be-, came one of the chief rrtattcrs 'of eo lation. In its territory, the size of the ttate of Maryland and with six times the population of that state, Belgium has 2,867 miles of rail roads, 5,743 miles of improved hifh wayt and 1,376 miles of navigable inland waters. . - In the United State little Rhode Island aupporte 395 people to the quare mile, thus holding the palm over all the other states in the Un ion. As a suggestion of the further 'poesibilitiee. of population in the United States it may be remarked, that while the world average is thirty-one to the square mile that of the United States is only twenty-one to the same space. With the density, of Ihe Rhode Island population.' holding over tfce cntire,territory of the Union, the total population would be 1,173,150,000 for the United States, exclusive of its island possessions.
