THE YELLOW PERIL.

"The Yellow Bern, like many other penis of vivid portent which have disturbed our sleep, was liever really there. 'the hosts of Asia, awakened and organised by Western tecnieal science for our destruetion, will never cross the Caucasus or the Urals,’'' says ■‘World dominion.” “The present colour of our peril, however; is neither Yellor nor Brown nor Black, but White. The tireless efforts necessary to keep the peace among the rich mineral nations exceed those expended for the same purpose cm all the rest of the world. To speak of imposing peace either by means of mineral supremacy or by any other form of mineral power is a misuse of language. We may ma Ice a silence and call it peace but it will be like the uncanny quietness that broods over the gathering tornado. Men and nations are going a long way round to reach that to which they must of necessity come at last if scares and perils are to be abolished—the regenerated heart that keeps ‘tin first and great commandment’ and that other which is ‘like unto it.’ ”
