THE EBBING TIDE OF
WHITE.
CHAPTER vi.
The White Flood.
THE world. wide expa nsion of the
white race during the four cen


turies between 1900 and 1900 is
the most prodigious phenomenon in
all recorded history The white
stocks together constitute the most
numerous single branch of the hu-
man species. nearly one-third OF all
the human souls on earth today eing
whites. -
Waite men racially occupy four
t"nths OF the entire habitable land
area OF the globe. while nearly nine
tsuthS OF this area is under white po-
liticaI contro. Never before has A
race acquired such combined prepon-
Sersnce OF numbers ard dominion.
Al the close OF the fifteenth century
tn. white race was confined TO west
crn and central Europe, together with
Scandinavia and the north westcrn
parts of European Russia. The total
white race area was not much over
100000 square miles-barely one
tenta it's area today. And in numbers
The proportion was almost as unfa-
yorable. At that moment lsay, A. d.
14sO) England could muster only
about .,o00, 900 inhabitants, the entire
population of the British Isles not
much exceeding S,0oo, 900 souls. To
be sure. the continent was relatively
better peopled. Still, the population
OF Europe in 1880 was probably not
one-sixth that of 1914.
POPULATION DwINDLED.
Furthermore, population had dwin-
died, notably In the preceding $50

:aad utterly failed. In fact, far from
expanding, while Europe had been
continuously assailed by brown and
yellow Asia
Beginning with the Huns in the
:ast days of Rome, continuing with
the Arabs and ending with the Mon
coils and Ottoman Turks, Europe had
undergone a millennium Of Asiatic
aggression. and though Europe had
Substantially maintained it's freedom,
many of it's outlying marches had
failen under Asiatic dominion.
The outlook for the white race at
the close of the fftenth century thus
seemed gloomy rather than bright.
Suddenly. in two short years, all
was changed. In 1892 Columbus dis

way to India In the twinkIing OF

an eye. Europe became mistress Of
the world.
RISE OF THE WHITE MAN.
And the white man proved worthy
c.f his opportunity. His inherent
racial aptitudes had been stimulate d
Ivy his past. The hard conditions of
medieval life had disciplined him to
adversely and had weeded him by
natural selection.
The white man could think. could
create. could fight superiatively well.
No wonder that redskins and negroes
feared and adored him as god. while
the somnolent races OF the Farther

offered no effective opposition.
Thus began the swarming OF the
whites. like bees from the hive, to
The uttermost ends Of the earth. And,
"a return. Europe was ouickened to
'rtenser vitality. Goods, tools, ideas,
men: all were produced at an unpre-
redcnted rate. So, by action and re-
Nction. white progress grew by leaps
/. nd bounds. For four hundred years
ne pace never slackened. and at the
