Nations Brace for Muscovite Invasion and Far East War
Sweden and Norway must be prepared for possible Russian invasion. The Varia magazine from Stockholm lauds Swedish mobilization and mined harbors, calls Gothland the eye of the Baltic, and notes fortifications and garrisoning. It argues Europe divides by culture and liberty versus militarism, praising Japan while warning Russia’s expansion. It contrasts European reactions and Japan’s rising world power status with future outcomes. A fishing heifer tale from New Jersey and a note on New Guinea tribes with underdeveloped feet follow.
