Supremacy. Dr. Alexander van Peez

China and not the Transvaal war,
he declares. "but the race between the
great industrial countries-England.
Germany and the United States

enduring interest Of the future. Slowly
has England grown commercially.
more rapidly has Germany risen after

Of unrest. assertiveness. and unex-

TO himself from his two competitors
a share OF their own skill and of their
own acquisitions. through emigration
from Germany and England From
