Pescadores, we have less than 10000
square miles of territory, of which
eleven-twelfths is unprOductive of
food. But, nevertheless, we have
close to 50,000,00O folk to feed. Do
you wonder that. we are land-hungry
that we want elbow room?
1--WE once dreamed of Siam, because
the royal houses have a blood tie,
but that vision was vain. We had
many vague aspirations, but 1t has
come to this: that in Asia, in our own
ATTITUDES, we must get what we want.
If we are barred from Manchuria,
and, after all we can do to avert it,
lose Korea, we still have our last and
greatest hope to fall back upon for
the final stand. mean China. She
looks to us now for aid, comfort, SYM
pathy, advice and guidance, and she
is getting all she asks and more.
China does not call us 'dwarfs' any
longer. We are little genii' now, and
truly we are doing the work of genii
in organizing that hitherto inert mass.
The Yellow Wllirlwind.

excels in everything he undertakes,
provided it seems worth while to him.
He excels, too, for twenty hours day
on minimum Of food and comfort.
Hitherto he has Stunned war, because
he fancied it was brute madness for
men to slaughter one another; but the
west has goaded him into thinking
that war is sometimes a fine thing for
its own sake. He needs little coaching
| now to desire war for revenge and de-
