pearl is large in size and has beauti-

the issue between the Russian and the
japanese has made the prize tangible.
There is little time left for the slow
and subtle methods of diplomacy. Who
wants his share of the stakes must
play quick game and bold one.
PLAYING FOR LIFE.
Russia, with one great stake gone,
is sitting at that board playing
game now that means life for her
fighting a fight far more desperate
than was that with the Japanese. The
world that looks on may think that
this is a player who, having played
madly and lost, is doomed to lose still
more; but the governments that play
with the Bear know better. They
know that the clipping of empire in
the east has merely made Russia a
vastly more dangerous neighbOr in the
West-because Russia game now is

empire. not by traditional land-hunger.
but by absolute necessity. Russia
must get to the sea to live-to the

she is blocked in the farthest east; to
the Atlantic across the north of Eur

the Khanate of Bokhara and occupied
it, including all the principal ports on
the Oxus river. simultaneously the oc-
cupation of the Eastern Chinese pro-

A few weeks after that British
mission from India appeared at Kabula
in Afghanistan, to 'rectify trade ar

That is how Russia MANNED and

her ancient policy.
So the great game stands thus:

her Australian colonies to see if they

their own, while her statesmen discuss
tariffs and economies.
