The Munsey Magazine, Vol. 31, No. 3

# Munsey's Magazine, June 1904

This issue of Munsey's Magazine (Vol. XXXI, No. 3) features a prominent geopolitical analysis alongside fiction and illustrated articles. The lead piece, "The Real Yellow Peril" by Fritz Cunliffe-Owen, examines Japanese military success in the Russo-Japanese War and its potential consequences for Western dominance in Asia. Cunliffe-Owen argues that Japanese victory threatens the prestige sustaining Western colonial rule from India to the Philippines, predicting it could inspire native uprisings across Asia under a program of "Asia for the Asiatics."

The issue also contains "Japan's Naval Heroes" and related military imagery, plus serialized fiction including "The Abbess of Vlaye" (Chapters VIII-X) and "Double Harness" (Chapters XX-XXII) by Stanley J. Weyman and Anthony Hope respectively. Shorter works include stories titled "Pandora's Box," "Elizabeth's Situation" (illustrated by F. X. Chamberlain), and "A Modern Knight-Errant." Poetry selections include "June" and "The Garden of Delight," while illustrated nonfiction addresses labor unions and their leaders, a centenarian senator, and the St. Louis Fair's art palace.
