$50, 900 Magyars, of the same race as
the Firms, are in danger of being over
run by the Russians in helping Ser
via. There are 3,25O,O00 people in
and $4,000 Films in and near
st. Petersburg on the northern coast
Of the Gulf Of Finland and 100000
Esthonians of the Finnish family on
the southern coast-in all 4,383, 900
Films on the Baltic coast of Russia
Sweden and Germany gave the Bal
tic Provinces of Russia their culture
There are Greek Catholics in the Bal
kan states, but there are also 8,000,-
600 Lutherans in Russia, half of whom
are Films. It seems Europe and Ger
many may soon need another Gustav
us Adolphus. If Italy, the peninsula
of the south, should prove untrue to
the Triple Alliance, Scandinavia, the
peninsula of the north should take it's
place rather than permit Europe to be
knowledge is Power.
"The race is not to the swift nor
the battle to the strong. A poor wise
man delivered a city by his wisdom.
Wisdom is better than strength. Wis
dom is better than weapons Of war;
Solomon, Eccles. 9:13-18.
The intellectual strength of the ma
lions engaged in this war ought to be
considered. The report of the United
States commissioner of education just
from the press gives the number of
children in their elementary schools
as follows: Germany, 10,5S2,532, Aus
tria-Hungary 7,312,325, Italy 3,002,1 68,
total 2O,896,725; France 5,654,794,
Great Britain and Ireland 1857, 492,
Russia 6,1S0,510; total 19,492,796.
Hence Germany, Austria Hungary and
Italy have 1,403,929 more pupils than
France, Great Britain, Ireland and
Russia.
Concentrated People and Scattered
Territory.
France, Great Britain and Russia
have far more land than people, while
Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy
are each overcrowded with people and
have no colonial land fit for white col
onies to settle. Is that right? The
one alliance has more than enough
land, but lack of people; the other
has land, but not enough people. Is
this right? Can there be universal
European or world peace under such
conditions?
Think Of the 155.O00,000 of your
fellowmen in Germany, Austria-Hung
airy and Italy living happy lives on
500,482 square miles, an area not as
large as Alaska, not as large as Tex
as, Montana and North Dakota, to be
crushed by newly organized triple
entente that has grabbed all the rest
of the land Of the world.
Aliens as Allies.
This war is not confined to neigh
Dor nations on the Continent of Eu
rope. All the British Isles and al
Northern Asia under Russia, joining
Alaska of the United States, are tax
ing an active part in it. German col
onies in Africa have been reported
seized. Hence it is an old world war
Aliens in culture and blood become
Allies. England and France, pioneers
of liberty, unite with despotic Russia
The four greatest Teuton nations are
enemies, England and Belgium against
Germany and Austria-Hungary. The
greatest Romance nations are oppon
ents-France against Italy. The two
Slavic nations, Russia and Servia,
are on the same side which is a great
advantage for Russia, as it will doubt
less dominate Europe and Asia in case
the Triple Alliance is defeated. Rus
STA at present controls the northern
way to the eight million people OF
Asia, and Servia may be the key fol
Russia to occupy Constantinople and
control the southern route also. Ma
poleon said: Eventually Russia will
rule the world" Ever since the days
of Peter the Great Russia has been
eager to get it's clutches on Constan
tinople. Shall Europe be Russianiz
ed? Bismark once remarked to a
Swedish statesman from Stockholm:
You go home and unite the Scandi
navians and I will unite the Germans
Bismark united only two-thirds Of the
Germans of Europe. If this terrible
war must go on, may it unite the leu
tons for world peace and not divide
them worse than they are and thus
build the peace of the world on Pan
Slavic foundation permeated by their
spirit!
