"Slav or Saxon" study of the
growth and tendencies of Russian civ
ilization, by William Dudley Fouike
The new chapters in Mr.. Foulke's
book relate to the causes of the pres
ent war in the Far East, and the issues
involved. He traces the diplomatic
and military events which led to the
present war; the struggle between
China and Japan in 1894; the cession
Of the Liao-tung peninsula to Japan;
the requirement of Russia, France,
and Germany, that the peninsula
should be given back to China the
subsequent intrigues by which Russia
acquired the territory herself.
Then follows a statement of the re-
cent negotiations between Japan and
Russia. in which Japan claimed the
same rights for herself in Korea,
which Russia was asserting in Man.
churia; and of Russias refusals to ad-
nit this claim; her efforts to prolong
negotiations, and the final outbreak OF
the war.
Mr.. Foulke considers 1t fortunate
that new power, like Japan. should
have come to the front, possessing adj
vantages Of a geographical situation,
an admirable equipment, and spirit
and determination which may enable
