THE WAR IN THE EAST
The tenific fighting which
the Russians aud Japanese are
doing in the far off nrieul H not
only challenging the admiration
of the people of the west but it
is arousing serious apprehen
sions as to the future. The nu
tions of the west have fahen in
to the habit of viewing with
conte upt the nations of orieu
trl blood deeming them but
awaiting victims of western am
bition to stretch forth their
hands andsieza them.
The success under Lord Clive
which bgan in 1750 laid the
fouudatiou of British supremcy
in India and placed some 300,
000,000 orientals under control
of England encourng d the west
Other western ttations atnSi
tious to imitate England have
ever siuce looked with covetous
eyoa upon the great, wealth of
Asia aud were abiding their
lime to come out valuable pos
sessions from the ancient king
doms in Asia.
The way the Japanese are
fighting ".nd adopts in the art
of war they are proving them
selves to be is a'ton
ishing the western world
anil bids fair la make the peo
ple of the west revise their op
inions of the yellow race and
recast thoir pr.lices with refer
ence thereto and treat them
hereafter as "men who know
their rights, dare maintain them
