In other words Bussia has sum
moned courage enough to try to in
crease her possessions in the orient
by attempting to thrash a foe she
thinks has not a shadow of chance:
: Continued aggression and an
utter disregard for the keeping of
promises and treaties, on the . part
of Kussin, has aroused th patriot
ism of Japan ; and . forced 'her ; to
rese.ut sueh treatment, even though
it would bring her to war with one
of the strongest . nations in the
world.. ; And, inspite of the fact.
thaW perhaps, her attempt to thns
rebuke a stronger opponent may
eud in her ultimate defeat.
Naturally, under these conditions,
the world is with the plucky little
Jap, ' Her efforts will be cheered
