A white man who knew his business
was worth his weight in gold on ship
any time in these parts. It was true
he wasn't any too fit yet; but he was
fit enough for that, fit enOugh-a dull
flush came into his face, and his eyes
hardened-fit enough to get to Singa-

He had not forgotten that ghasti;

There was one thing dominant in
his life now-Drink-HOus Sam of

mysteriously to take his life, to stab
at him treacherously, without warning,
out of the dark.
Singapore! Singapore! 1t was

his web, and then-his fists clenched
fiercely-and then settle with the man
himself!
And that was why he must get to
Pobi before daybreak, before this
steamer sailed.
He walked on steadily, without
sense of fatigue, his mind abnOrmally
active. And then, with a little shock
of surprise as the Malay made signs
he noticed for the first time that it
had grown almost dark.
And also, to his surprise, he noticed
that where he had experienced no
fatigue before, he was, as he sat down,
suddenly grateful for the rest.
He scowled little over his dipper
of tea that the Malay had prepared
and rubbed his leg muscles vigorously.
They tWitched nervously as he put his
weight upon his legs. That was bad
His lips set grimly. Well bad or not,
they'd have to take him across the

In japanese hands this Siberian
territory will be an inexhaustible
storehouse of military supplies fol
war of world conquest, as well as
a great breeding ground of human
cannon fodder for such war.
Only three things may stand in the
way of Japan's success in grabbing
eastern Siberia:
ONE.-The desperate resist
ance of the sturdy, patriotic 81
berian peasants, who will fight
against Japanse domination to the
point of extinction.
TWO.-Possibility of financial
panic, industrial depression and
popular revolt of the japanese
people at home, struggling under
a terrible burden of taxation.
THREE. - Bold action by the
governments of the United States
and Great Britain, and perhaps
others, acting in concert to order
Japan out of Siberia and China
forever.

pushing her project to conquer and
absorb the maritime provinces of ST.
IBERIA.
A real war of aggression is in
progress, comparable to that begun by
Germany in 1914. 1t is like the Prus-
sian attack both in ruthless methods
used and in the great natural rich
ness of the wide territory coveted
by the invader.
This war is being conducted on the
flimsy pretext of friendly occupa-
tion," to restore law and order. 1t is
actuallv grim and terrible drive to
spread the confines of the japanese
empire.

The governments of the United
States and Great Britain are fully in

They know, because they have secret
intelligence agents scattered through
out the Far East.
Thus far, however, they have taken
no steps to thwart Japan's aggressive
purposes, nor even to inform their
peoples of what is going on.
