civilization Of the world. if no, ell
compass its destruction. This danger
will not arise from the civilized ua-
tons becoming jealous Of one another
and warning among themselves. but
from the stirring into life and action
the dormant strength Of the yellow
race. An agitation like the one in
progress may bring the seething mass
es of the MOngolians to a knowledge
of their strength and power, and then
their Unborn hatred Of the white races
and their savage fanaticism might lead
them to make an invasion OF Europe.
No one can tell what a talented and
artful commander might lead such
hosts to do. One who could invest
himself in the eyes of his c~ountrymen
with something OF mysterious and SUI
pernatural power might repeat the
history Of Attila, the Scourge OF God.
Should Prince Tuan or some other I'M
known man OF the people prove to be
a Napoleonic genius he might weld the
yellow race into a fighting power
which would sweep the people Of the
white races from the face of Europe
and America as the wind sweeps the
chaff from a threshing floor. That the
possibility of such a movement is be-
ing considered by the statesmen of
the civilized powers and that efforts
are being made to prevent 1t. is shown
In the hesitanCy to allow the Japanese
to gain complete control in China by
suppressing the present uprising.
Should Japan gam control in China
It is probable that all the branches
of the yellow race would soon become
assimilated and united-China re.
awakened, re~invigOratcd and instruct
ed by Japan would be far different
from the China OF to-day. Japan has
made wonderful advancement in civ
ilization during the past few years, but
her methods and ideals are widely diff
ferent from those OF the Caucasian ma
tons. She has no sympathy in COM
non with the civilized powers, and her
leaders are shrewd enough TO know
that she has nothing to expect from
the white races. The japanese are
M%ongolians and they would naturally
be more inclined toward people Of
their own race and color, like the
Chinese, than toward the whites. They
might fight among Themselves, but In
a common cause against people OF an
other race and color they would be
found shoulder to shoulder. Japan.

her fruits of victory In the war against
China. 1t Is an open secret that the
leading statesmen of China and Japan
believe that the yellow race should
control the continent Of Asia. Should
it ever attain this power then the
threatening moment will have ar
rived. Then the yellow race will be
arrayed against the white.
The power of a united yellow race is
not fully realized, and the danger
which it would threaten is by no
means imaginary. 1t is real and its
reality is appalling. 1t would combine
more than O%ne-third of the population
of the earth and could put 1000, 900
soldiers in the field. The measure OF
these soldiers should not he taken by
the fighting qualities shown by the
Chinese during the Chinase-Japanese
war. The Chinese who took part in
that war formed a mere rabble. They
were not of the northern provinces,
where are found the real fighters of
China. nor were they of the better and
more Intelligent classes Of the south
ern provinces. The events of the past
few days prove this statement, for the
fanatical Boxers have not only fought
like demons, but have conducted their
movements with skill and have shown
their ability to handle modern weap-
ons of war. With q uaited yellow
race the Chinese would have the ad-
vantage OF Japanese teaching, dash
and leadership.
