RUSSIA ~ CHINA.

The most important feature of the operations
In tho far East is not now Gcrmany's seizure OF
Kiao-C Chau but the forward movements Of Rus
sa in both China and Corca That she would
make such movements was to be expected
There are those who will say that this is be-
cause she is the greatest and most ruthless OF
all land -grabbcrs, and that for every inch she
agrees to others taking she takes an ell for
herself. Perhaps the criticism is just. Russia
has, at any rate, shown herself no less ready
than her neighbors TO seize the territory OF
weaker Powers But for the most part this is
TO be said OF her aggressions. that she is seek
ing to acquire open ports and commercial out
let's that will enable her to develop her own
natural resources. That is a legitimate desire
A great nation cannot live in sealed bottle.
1t would have been better for all concerned If
the other European Powers had recognized this
years ago. and had permitted Russia to attain
such expansion: better, Just as II Is better TO let
steam of through tho proper channels than to
keep 1t In by screwing down The safety-yalve.
Beyond that. Russia has an exceptionally deep
interest In China. They are both Asiatic Pow
ers. Their people are largely of the same stock
and of the same grade Of civilization. Their
territories march with each other for n longer
distance than those OF any other nations In the
word-thOusa Of miles. from the Roof Of the
World TO the Japan Sea. These and others are
strong natural claims which cannot he Justly
overlooked
In addition to these moreover, Russia has
immense treaty rights In China, Of which her
present movements are nothing but fulfilment
1t will serve TO illuminate the present situation

different avenues of life and fight
the great contests of truth against

The effect of his address was so
marked on the audience that at

for prayers that they might lead
better lives.
