According to n St. Petersburg
dispatch, those close to the Gar
say that che is more than ever de-
termined that Russian prestige shall
be vindicated in the Far East, as
necessary not only to Russia, but
to the whole white race, as an
answer to the japanese blows. "
The white race has not called upon
or delegated "BIack Michael" to
vindicate it. There is no occasion
for its vindication at the hands of
Russia. On the contrary, it feels
more the need of defense against
Russian aggression, Instead of
looking to Russia for vindication,
an overwhelming majority of the
members Of the race sympathlze
with Japan in this struggle.
