A vast war between be-tween the yellow and black races for supremacy of this world that Is the possibilities seen by S. S. MeJCIure, American publisher, after a long trip through the orient. In a lone; article in the Times Mc-Clure Mc-Clure gives his reasons for believing such a war is inevitable. Hls main point Is that Japan.- Chins! and the Mongolian races are animated by the most powerful and elementakof human hu-man reasons In the necessity Tor expansion. ex-pansion. He foresee that the Mohammedan Moham-medan world and the black race of Africa Af-rica would be impelled to join the yellow yel-low races, because they have been under un-der the subjugation of the white races. The article urges the vital necessity of an understanding between Britain and the L'nlted States, the two moat powerful representatives of the white race, to defend the Interests of the I'aucasiun races atrainst the "Yellow l'erll," McOlure says: JAPAN'S PROBLEMS. ' "The policies of Japan are determined by the most fundamental force in nature na-ture that Is. the struggle to make a living. No nation In the world needs room as much as Japan and for the Japanese there Is no part of the world so desirable as North America. We find the same condition In China. The struggle for land has caused innumerable innumer-able wars In Kurope for hundreds of years. The coming struggle for land will be on the scale of continents and hemispheres. There Is another struggle strug-gle looming in the future wnlch will include also the people of Africa against the domination of tbe white race. . "It can be seen that the white rare has aecurcd an undue proportion of the choicest portions of the globe; that the white race has, frequently with cruelty and Injustice, ruled over the colored peoples that theee peoples are bound to fight against the dominance of the whites; and that Just aa Japan has mastered all the machinery of war, so may many of the other peoples of Africa and Asia." Met Hure writes that if the rulera of Russia should follow their eresent policy pol-icy of working with the peoples of Asia, the world l facing a conflict that will I be much more terrible than the last war.

The Time in an editorial scouts the possibilities predicted by McClure. but says "It is not without Its elements of truth, but to most Britishers It will seem strangely exaggerated and quite needlessly alarmist." However, the tilobe la more Inclined to listen to McClure's warnings. It says "we are not aU disposed to set aside as chimerical the very grave warning given by Mr. McClure. All war Is at the bottom caused by pressure pres-sure of population and-In the east and even In Africa, that pressure Is becoming becom-ing heavier and heavier every day." "The same pressure, of population that drove Attila and Tamerlane and 'hlngix Kahn westward Is most keen-I keen-I ly felt today." the Ulobe says. "China feels herself a giant in a cage and the sixty millions of Japanese, snatching the barest liVing from an inhospitable soil, turn Iheir eyes with longing to the rich and as yet unexhausted lands across the rctf tes We, -the British and Americans, no longer possess any superiority su-periority In weapons. The crisis may come much more quickly than we Imagine. Im-agine. Al no period In the world's history his-tory have events moved so rapidly as they have done in this."
