China's troubles during the Boxer rebellion were reflected in the
stamp album by the "C.E.F." stamps of India (see Chapter II.) and by
the use of the stamps of several of the Powers co-operating in the
defence of the Legations. The revolution of 1912 made its mark in the
overprinting of the Imperial stamps with various republican overprints
(_Figs._ 366, 367) and the revolution when completed was commemorated
by two sets of stamps issued in November 1912; one set bears the
portrait of Dr. Sun Yat Sen in a frame in which are unripe ears of
wheat, and inscribed "in commemoration of the _revolution_" (_Fig._
368); the second set bears the portrait of President Yuan Shi Kai, and
in this set the ears of wheat are ripe, and the inscription reads "in
commemoration of the _republic_" (_Fig._ 369).

Although not issued in connection with warfare, it may be noted that
the only separate postage stamps of Heligoland appeared while the
island was in British possession (_Fig._ 369A). Since its cession to
Germany in 1890 the islanders have used German stamps.

Germany,

Turkey.

But the developments are already full of significance, and the
stamps of each of the countries at war acquire a new interest in the
occasions for their extra-territorial use as the armies invade the
territories of thei
