AFTER PEACE WHAT?
A great war is about to close.
It has attracted the attention of
the human race more amversaly
than any conflict in modern
times, because there is hardly a
nation in the civilized world,'
Christian, Mohammed or hea
then but intuitively felt when
the war began that the' present
equilibrium of the world w
being jared by the clash of tre
mendous armed forces; energiz
ed, by the ambition of each ' of
the parties to the strife to ma
terily change the existing rela-
ti"", poh'ically and commer
cially among the people of
earth.
The accomplishment of Rus
sia's ambition would place that
empire in control of Asia with
its half billion of people which
added to its present population
would make the Czar supreme
ruler of about three-fourths of
the human race.
The thwarting of Russia's
plans, by the success of the Mi
kado, will make that astute ruler

Oriental and dissolve the dream
of the western world, it has in
dulged in for centuries, of grow
ing fabulously rich and immeas
urably strong by, securing con
trol of the Oriental trade and
dominion over the populous
and wealthy, but effete people
of Asia, With the victory of
the Japanese arms will evan ish
the dream of the dismember
ment ot China, and in its , stead
will arise the vision of the ' 400,
000 millions of China following
the startling example of Japan
and casting off dead weight of
tradition aud antiquated cus
toms, and in the full armor of
modern thought and ingenuity
"With the tread of a warrior,
and port of a conqueror" take
the place among the nations,
that her intelligence, skill,
-wealth and numbers entitle her
to.
wunuuina modernized,, as
Japan is and India aroused from
its long dream of sorrow, West
ern ambition becomes an im
possibility as to territorial
dominion in Asia. The Occident
may yet be made to learn with
as great surprise as Russia felt
at Port Arthur and Mukden
the falacy and deceit of tht ego
tism that has made the Euro
peans believe for centuries that
the are superior - to all other
people. The time may come
when Americana will cease
wrap tbe mantle of self couceit
about them, pat their pride
swollen breasts and proclaim
"We are of a superior race
