the obligation she attached the most
sweeping and subyersive of condi-
tions, including, first of all, the wp-
ing out of all debt to England
Prompt conformity to these has been
eNacted. The money which had been
borrowed from England was all re
paid, in compliance with the Musco-
vite demand, within two years after
Russia had taken up the sponsorship
and the rights that accompanied it,"
In conclusion Mr.. Mumford says:
"The Russian knows the people he
holds sway over and manages them
as no other can, for their blood is in
him. He conciliates native
agencies at every step of the way.
He is mindful of the admoni-
tion of Paul L.; he remembers that
he is only at war with the English
| and is the friend of all who do not
give them help He assures men of
| the friendship of Russia He ami
| hilates memories; he weans peoples
| from regrets. He plays upon their
vanity until it is transmitted into 10y
atty; he CRAFTS upon his already CON
| glomerate speech something of the
| language of the conquered, and the
next generation speaks with the
tongue of Moscow. In brief, he finds
a barbarian, and, moving on in the
prosecution of his eternal purpose,
leaves Russian. That is what he
has been doing in Caucasia and Trans
caucasia, as well as on the far side of
the Caspian, and that, reasonably as
suming that EIAland will not inter-
fere strongly to block his progress to
the south, is what he will ultimately
do in all parts of Persia; what that
will mean, In the struggle which is
bound to come some day, the map
shows. y That he aspires to
the possession of all Asia there seems
no longer any room for doubt. There
are great obstacles in his path; he
removes them. He has one way III
Manchuria, another in Iran. But he
is building warships as fast as he is
taking up land in Asia. He anchor<
them now in Port Arthur; next in
Bushire and Bender Abbas. How soor
will the searchlights of his cruisers
sweep the harbors of Calcutta ant

of its having prevailed in opposition to

John K.nberly Mumford, writing of
Russia's conquest of Asia in the
Worlds Work, disclose lew the EN-
pire of the czar reaches out into
Persia, with the manifest intention of
some day, in the fullness of time, en-
folding the realm of the shah. One
need be in Persia only little time,
says Mr.. Mumford, to realize the Rus
sian predominance. Persia is Russian.
That this is true is manifest in many
ways that are study of the efficacy
of the peaceful method, revelation
of Muscovite versatility. Everywhere
things Persian are disappearing, and
the Russ is substituting for them his
own memorials in brick and stone,
steel and steam and electricity.
Russia's progress to the south dur
ing the last 10 years has been quiet,
but by no means accidental. 1t is not
at all mysterious, though often so
called. 1t is simply the carrying out
| of definite plan, a waiting plan,
based on slow but persistent advance.
| This advance has been facilitated by
the inexplicable policy of England.
Mr.. Mumford says:
"Sir Henry Drummond Wolfe, for
mer representative of Great Britain
at the court of Teheran, secured for
English corporations, by virtue of the
loans, concessions of all sorts, look
ing to the development of Persia,
banking charters, mining charters
and the like. He retired from the
post leaving the English in posses
