Your editorial on t'The War Au-
gust goth begins: "The events of the
Russo-Japanese war have been a sur
prise ever to the best informed. You
might almost say they are a surprise to
everybody-yet not quite. And they
are no surprise to the best informed.
There Is simply so large a field of
knowledge now-a.days,,that thorough in
formation is an in%possibllity. To be-
GIN with, the Mongals have always
been more aggressive than the white
race, The yellow race Including the
Turks, is called the TurAnians. The
most generally used name for the
white race is Aryan, one ancient form
as used IN Asia being Iran,
1t may be said that the oldest tradi-
ton of the white race, in its probably
original home 10 Siberia, is that of the
intending aggressions of Turan urol
Iran. Examination Of the case is ex-
tremely interesting. The white race
we're cattle raisers and ranged on the
steps OF Siberia, cultivating land a
little in the warm months. The men
we're Of too large size to ride the horses
which were small and which they
hunted as game. The Aryans we're
mentally rather slow and dull, kindly
~peaceable, and especially good to their
women and children. They made
great carts with solid wheels and hauled
them with oxen. The chief purpose in
making them was to save the women
and children from walking when they
moved camp. This sort Of cart came
with the Goths to Spain, with the
Spaniards to California and the
Indians have them ia ArIzoDa today.
{ All this time the little short yellow
[ Mongols had trained the horse to ride,
I had made bows and arrows, and dash
ing in on the cattle raising whites
i drove of, killed their cattle, murdered
) their women and children and we're
!, quickly out Of the way. 1t was exactly
4 a repetition of their deeds the Com
anches (of the Turanlan race too)
played on cattle men Of Western Texas,
. defendants of the original white race

Y The Mongols being a lower race and
u nearer to savagery we're fonder Of
v fighting. This stock is the basis oI

race round headed, with straight black
hair and very hardy. Another elemen'
in the Japanese is the negritic canniOalI
