such extension would be Imperialism, and i'm

Empire! England has been annexlng territory
until she has now an empire on her hands and
her Queen is Empress of India. There tx the

The German commander did not attempt To

explained that he had incrfered 'ln the cause
of humanity" and offered to surrender TO Adj
miral Dewey the Spanish refugees he had taken

their warfare against the Spaniarls with due
