ANGLO O-SAXON, SLAV,
AND yellow PERIL =
Angosaxon Forces Present Conflict in the opn
Of Certain Ehnoogists But Of the slav
Predicted Life and Death Struggle Between
th slav and the Anglosaxon Races.

Will the present European war re-
suit in advancing the Anglo-Saxon to
more dominating position in the af-
fairs of the world, or will it eventuate
in enlarging the Influence of the Slav?
That's one of the questions over
which students OF ethnology are now
pondering.
One of the late hiographers OF the
great Napoleon ascribes to the FAM
GUS soldier prediction to the effect
that eventually Russia will rule the
world
The great Corsican is also said to
have remarked, soon after his down
fall, that. within hundred years, or
thereabouts, the world would be eth
er all Cossack or all republican.
Bartlett Trips Views.
At this time, when Europe is en-
gagged in what seems to be a conflict
of determination, so far as national
lines are concerned, it may be worth
while for South Dakotans and others
to be reminded of the views of one
of its noted sons.
Hon. Bartlett Tripp, for four years
the representative Of America at the
Austrian court, during the Cleveland
administration, came home imbued
with the idea that at some future
time, possibly a hundred years hence,
may be much sooner, but at some
time during the course of human
events within the next few genera
tions, the world will witness ter
rife struggle on the part OF the Anglo
Saxon for existence against the In
yading hordes Of Slays-
Russia,s Onward March.
Russia, whose government has ex-
listed in one form or another, and al
ways of the despotic character, for
4 upwards Of thousand years, has
been constantly pressing forward and
has been extending and enlarging its
sphere of influence IN various dirac.
tons. Temporarily now and then II
has met with backsets only to hus-
band it's resources for renewal OF
the policy of expansion.
For centuries it has been the dream
of Russian monarchs and Russian
statesmen to acquire better outlets to
the sea and to become dominating
factors in international politics and
policies.
