Immediately south of Russia comes Great Britain. and south of her. Germany. Who can doubt what the effect of a century of military supremacy asserted by the Slav. the Saxon. and the Teuton over the Mongolian will bring forth?

Great Britain and France hem in the south. while doughty Japan guards the center.
