tons in regard 70 the changes which VIII
probably have taken place in the world
By the time the KaiseT's grandson. who
was born on July (, aseends 10 the throne

The professor thinks it IS clear that the
peoples of Asia and Africa will increase
In power and strength. The victory OF
the yellow japanese has stirred them. and
even civilization, which Is imparting new
knowledge TO the lower races, will in
evitabiy produce far-reachlng effects.

lessor says. for Great Britain, France,
and Russia to maintain supremacy over
the Asiatic and African races than now.

ed King Of Bengal The English laughed
al the fact, but none can deny that there
Is real natural king rule in Bengal after
two generations.
The influence OF japanese victory viii

TOpean rule.
In the same way ia North Africa.

mean west TO Timbuktu. great pan-tslam-
itic movement is gaining Roadway. while
AT the same time au Ethiopian movement
among the negroes in South Africa Is
steadily gaining strength, and the only
white race with a-future in South Africa

Prof. Schienann proceeds TO argue that
surprising changes viii take place IN

Far-reaching changes are also probable in
