THAT he held France in the hollow
If his hand, and that Russia was Of no

had been so much talked about was in
Uitable, the sooner it came the better it
would be for him. because he was ready
and was tired of the suspense.
THAT Great Britain had been a de-
.adent nation ever since her victory over
The Transvaal and the Orange Free
gtate, because hers was an unrighteOus,
kngodly cause, and divine judgment was
pound eventually to overtake the power
tul nation that waged such a war.
Japs Stealing India
THAT the Anglo-Japanese alliance was
IN iniquitops alliance against all the
white races, England proving absolutely
her faithlessness as a Christian nation;
that Japan was hOueycombing India
with sedtion and flooding it with spies
while protesting openly to be England s
friend and ally.
That the only way to counteraCt this
alliance was for Germany and America

planned to him at some length that even
