No Limit to Troops If Needed.

there would be difficulty in putting
million English soldiers into the held,
az il has been stated the government
intended doing He said there would
be none, and that as many troops
would be Forthcoming as were required
for service in the field or AZ home.
Every one who knew anything ABOUT
military affairs was aware % the diff
culties inherent in the creation Of
new army Of million men, but the
spirit which was manifest throughout
the British Empire would overcome
every obstacle, and the new army
would become an accomplished fact Ia

generally expected And II 100000 or
more men should be required England
would shoulder the burden with conf
dence and success.
With the i'd a Of getting Lord Rob
erts to express an opinion on the
future of America should Germany
win, and if America would have 20 as
sumo the burden Of keeping up the
race for armed superiority, I began ny
inquiry by saying, "Supposing that
Germany wins this war when Lord
Roberts interrupted, saying: Il VIII

He also declined TO discuss the
fortunes or misfortunes Of neutral

Concerning the possible duration q

were not sufficiently evolved; or they
will say they were just sufficiently

But the truth is that all that they
call evolution should rather be called
evasion. They tell us they are opening

breaking up the whole house OF the

Harnack's View Of Englishmen.

Professor Hacckel, another OF the
witnesses raised up against us, at
tanned to some celebrity at one time
through proving the remarkable re-
semblance between two different things
bv printing duplicate pictures of the
same thing Professor HaeckePs con-
tribution to biology, in this case, was
exactly like Professor Harnacks con-
tribution to ethnology. Professor ilar-
mack knows what German Is like.
When he wants TO imagine what an
Englshman is like he simply photo
graphs the same German over again.
In both cases there is probably sim
cerity, as we'll as simplicity. Haeckel
was so certain that the species illus
trated in embryo really are closely
related and linked up that il seemed 20
him small thing to simplify II by
mere repetition. Harnack Is so GER
tain that the German and Englishman
ore almost alike that he really risks
the generalization that they are eX-
actly alike. He photographs, so TO
speak. the same fair and foolish face
twice over, and calls it a remarkable
resemblance between cousins. Thus he
can prove the existence of Teutonism
lust about as conclusively as Haeckei
has proved the more tenable PROPOSE
ton of the non-existence OF God.
Now, the German and the English
man are not in the least alike except
in the sense that neither Of them are
negroes. They are, in everything good
and evil more unlike than any other
two men we can take al random from
the great European family. They are
opposite from the roots of their his
tory nay. Of their geography. 1t is an
understatement 10 call Britain lnsular.
Britain is not only an island. but an
island slashed by the sea till it nearly
splits into three islands, and even the
nidlands can almost smell the salt.

But il would be unfair to base the
oriticism on the utteranco of any acct
dental and hereditary prince; and 1t ~
quite equally clear in the case OF the
philosophers who have been held up to
us. even in England, as the very
pronhets of progress. And in nothing
is IL shown more sharply than In the
curious, confused talk about race, and
especially about the Teutonic race.
Professor Harnack and similar people
are reproaching us. | understand, for
having broken "the bond of Teuton-
ism"ga bond which the Prussians
have strictly observed, both in breach
and observance. We note 1t In their
omen annexation Of lands wholly m
habited by negroes, such as Denmark;
We note il equally in their instant ana
iovful recognition of the flaXen hair
and light blue eyes Of the Turks. but
il is still the abstract principle OF fro-
lessor Harnack which interests me
most. and in following 1t ] have the
same completely of inquiry, but the
same simplicity of result. Comparing
the professors concern about "Ieu-
tonism" with his unconcern about BEL
GUM, can only reach the following
result: "a man need not keep prom
ise he has made. But man must
keep promise he has not made:
There certainly was treaty binding
Britain to Belgium, If 1t was only II
scrap of paper If there was any treaty
binding Britain with Teutonism 1t is,
to say the least of it, lost scrap OF
paper-almost what one might call a
scrap of waste paper. Here again the
pedants under consideration exhibit
the illogical perversity that makes the
brain reel. There is obligation and
there is no obligation; sometimes 1T
appears that Germany and England
must keep faith with each other; some
times that Germany need not Keep
faith with anybody and anything;
sometimes that we, alone among Euro
pear peoples. are almost entitled to be
Germans; sometimes that beside US
Russians and Frenchmen almost rise to
Germanic loneliness of character.
But through all there il, hazy but not
hypocritical, this sense of some COM
mon Teutonism.

Never Feels Out Of Place.

But a Germans rudeness il rooted IN
his never being embarrassed. lie eats
and makes love noisily. He never feels
a speech or song or sermon or a
large meal TO be what the English call
"out Of place" in particular circum-
stances. When Germans are patriotic
and religious they have no reactions
against patriotism and religion, as
have the English and the French. Nay,
the mistake Of Germany in the modern
disaster largely arose from the facts
that she thought England was simple,
when England is very subtle. She
thought that because our politics have
become largely financial they had be-
come wholly financial; that because
our aristocrats had become pretty
cynical they had become entirely cor
rupt.
They could not seize the subtlety
by which a rather used-up Eng
lish gentleman might sell q coronet
when he could not sell fortress;
might lower the public standards and
vet refuse to lower the flag. In short,
the Germans are quite sure that they
understand us entirely because they DO
not understand Us at all. Possibly, II

be hated for some small but real rea-
son than pursued with love on account
Of all kinds OF qualities which do not
possess and which do not desire. And
when the Germans get their first genu-
inc Climpscs 81 what modern England
is like they will discover that England
has very broken, belated and made
ouate sense OF having an obligation to
Europe. But no sort Of sense what
ever Of having any obligation to leu
tonism.
This is the last and strongest Of the
Prussian qualities we have here CON
sidered. There is in stupidity Of this
sort "a strange, slippery strength, be-
cause il can be not only outside rules.
but outside reason. The man who
really cannot see that he is contradict
ing himself has a great advantage in
controversy. though the advantage
breaks down when he tries to reduce
il TO simple addition, to chess-or to
the game called war. 1t is the same
about the stupidity Of the one-sided
kinship. The drunkard who is quite
certain that a total stranger Is his long
lost brother has a great advantage
until il comes to matters of detail.

Germany IL n powerful. beautiful and
fertile inland country. which can only
find the sea by one or two twisted ana
narrow paths, MS people find subter-
ranean lake. Thus the British navy IS
really national because II is natural.
IL has cohered out of hundreds OF ac-
cidcntal adventures of ships and snip
mon before Chaucer's time and after
il. But the German navy IL an arti-
fcinl thing. as artificial M construct
cd Alp would be in England. william
II has simply copied the British navy
as Frederick II copied the French army,
and this japanese or ant-like assiduity
in imitation is one of the hundred quar-
tics which the Germans have ana the
English markedly have not. There are
other German superiorities which are
very much superior. The one or TWO
really Jolly things that the Germans
have got are precisely the things when
the English haven't got, notably real
habit Of popular music and or the an
cicnt songs of the people; not merely
spreadng from the towns or caught
from the professionals. In this the
Germans rather resemble the welsh.
though heaven knows what becomes OF
Teutonism il they do. But the differ
ence between the Germans and the
English goes deeper than all these
signs of il. They differ more than any
other two Europeans in the normal
posture of the mind Above all, they
differ in what il the most English OF
all English traits-that shame which
tho French may be right in calling the
bad shame" for it is certainly mixed
up with pride and suspicion, the up
shot Of which we call shyness. Even
an Fnglishman's rudeness is often
rooted in his being embarrassed.

One good thing about the pri-
mary law is that no politician or
individual for that matter, can
consistently make kick if the
favorite Individual is not chosen
in a caucus. Any one may file
for any Office and one does moi
have to wait for a man or body Of
men to say he shall or shall not
make a race for any special office.
And any man who makes a kick
because certain man or fellow is
running for Office, ought to either
keep still or to have gotten out
and circulated petitions for his
favorite. Don't be sore headed
If you can't run things all the
time. Occasionally some one be-
side yourself may have a think OF
interests that be may like to look
after.
