STEAD FEARS A WORLD WIDE WAR
London Editor Declares Foreigners Are
Facing a Critical Situation.

New York, July 1S.-W. T. Stead
ca bles from London to the Journal
and Advertiser:
The pope is said to have remarked
as he saw the Italian troops depart
ing for the far east that this was the
first war since the crusades in which
all nations had united to make war
for the Christian cause
The allusion is more apt than felic-
itous, for the struggle between the
east and west which began when
steel-clad Europe hurled itself upon
the Pynim hordes which detiled the
holy sepulchre, lasted for over 300
years and at the end of that prolong-
ed death grapple OF continent the
combatants were left face to face very
much as they were at the beginning.
1t is to be hoped that we are not
on the verge of another 300 years
war at the other end OF the Asiatic
continent.
The gravity of the crisis in China
hitherto has never been realized even
family In Europe. Otherwise Eng
land would have long ago patched
up any kind of a truce in South Afri-
da which would have enabled her to
have used her full army for the de-
Tense of the threatened outposts OF
western civilization. Even now when
the massacre of the legations has
sent thrill of horror through the
world, few dream of the immensely
and hopelessness of the struggle upon
which they are invited to embark
with such loud cries of vengeance.
The fact is that the white world is
| face to face with a determined effort,
by no means confined to China, on
| the part of the colored races, to
assert their rights to live their own
way, without the perpetual bullying
of pale faces.
The colored races have awakened
to the fact that the supremacy of the
whites ia due to no inherent superb
GRITTY, but solely to the fact that he
has superior weapons. Hence the
Chinese have provided themselves
with the best artillery and magazine
rifles, and have employed expert in
structOrs.
Lord Wolsely told me long ago he
considered the Chinese the very best
fighting material in the world.
They were better even than the
Russians, because the Russian sol
der drinks, whereas the Chinese arr
the most abstemious of men.
The Instruction of the legations
however, terrible it may seem to be
was nevertheless natural.
1t was the result and inevitable
corollorary of the Taku forts and tht
massacre of their garrison. Human
nature is much the same the worlt
over, and if we had been in a simila
position the white men would hav'
acted very much the same as thei
yellow-skinned brothers.
Christianity may be stamped on
of China as completely as 200 year
ago it was stamped out of Japan.
, 1t will be we'll if this is all that W
have to face as the result of forget
ting the golden rule in our relation
to the Chinese.

near future is that the allies Wi
