Russia, IN her thirst for land. wants
to break up the Austrian empire SO
as TO gather in the Slave who live
there and then absorb as much oil
Germany as she is able to get.
England is insanely jealous OF Ger
manys growing power. OF the supe-
riority Of her manufactured wares
which arc fast monopolizing tho world
markets. and that these two have en-
gineered this var for the purpose OF
crushing Germany forever.
That, therefore the Germans are
now fighting for their very existence
as nation, and that, since death is
better than dissolution, the German
kingdom must fight until the allies are
overthrow or until every man, wo-
man and child i'm Germany Is killed !
The feeling for their various foes
is this:
Indifference for the Russians as an
unaided power,
Contempt for the Belgians.
Pity for the French.
Hatred-the most intense conceiv-
able-for the English
