over the position of the white man
vis-a-vis the colored; and there is q
good deal of ferment, which has JUST
fled disquietude. Why the reason for
all this SILVER Of the white skin!
They have reason for their shuddsr.
In Asia, the brown and yellow are
seeking 10 throw off the dominion or
domination Of the pale faced foreign
ers. China is in the throes of the
most intense, widespread and best or
ganized anti-foreign movement 1t has
ever witnessed. Japan has, for TWEEN
II years, become a redoubtable navy
and military empire and is now the
amost dangerous trade rival of Europe
and America in the East In India
there is undoubtedly unrest. In
Africa, formidable war is even now
in progress between the invading Eu-
aropean and the native, the latter with
European equipment and leader train.

worst of il. The Egyptian has for
vesrs given trouble. In the United
States, the color question has always
been a vexed one. The problem oil
the negro has not yet been solved and,
in the Philippines, another colored
race is querying American authority.
WHITES OUTNUMBERED.
Numerically, the position is against
the whites. The number of colorsd
human beings on the earth is 1,15O,-
100000, while there are but 550,O00,-
600 white people. Two-fifths of the
worlds area is peopled by white races,
three-fifths by eolored. The colored
races have. in recent years. fought
the whites on their own ground-a
war of commerce and applied science
with increasing success.
Japan has led the way for color.
The victory of Japan over Russia in
1904, gave the East new confidence
in its potentialities as regards war
We have probably underestimate the
effect of the defeat Of a great Euro
pean military power in a stand-up
fight with an Asiatic empire which
had, M TO that time, been regarded ms
. effete and inferior. The old genera
ton of Asiatics had been brought up
under the fear of Western superiority
and regarded white races as invincible,
and even the japanese war did not
entirely break the bonds of apprehen-
sion which were stapled in their
hearts. But the existing generation
is the one that was in its childhood
when the new light of Asia flashed
from the japanese guns and the sound
reverberated throughout that mysteri-
Gus continent.
WELL TRAINED FIGHTERS.
During the great war, the yellow
races watched silently with eager
eyes, the white peoples strangling each
other TO death. They are not
unaware now Of the fact that
great white nations are lying ex-
hausted after the struggle. In the
meantime, they have been learning
western methods and the western
technique of war. Abd-El-Krim is
something of a portent. He and his
brother trained in the French and
Spanish military schools in order TO
learn the best methods Of overthrow
ing, in their native land, the suprem-
acy Of their teachers. And how well
these warlike brothers have learned
their lesson their fellow students can
but tell. The armies Of Spain have
+ been driven 10 the sea and the legions

their way into the hands Of the col
ored races, and il is the white races
: who have placed them there. One

pean pattern, are now in battle array
on Chinese soil.
