LOOK OUT FOR THE YELLOW DRAGON
Danger Thought to Lurk In the Possibility of China Learning How to Fight.
China has about 400,000,000 of people. They know nothing of war. Educate them in the art, and they will reach out for the world. Speaking of a good authority on this subject, the Spokane Chronicle says:
"John Brisben Walker, editor of The Cosmopolitan, who for a time served in the Chinese army, holds that the powers of the world should try to stop the war between China and Japan. He argues that if this war lasts long enough to convince China that she must modernize her military system it will not be long before the yellow dragon will be the most formidable battle ensign on the earth. All of which coincides with the remark of Napoleon that it would be an evil day when the Chinese learn the art of war."
