Russia Is a far more united homogeneous people than re the rainbow

men realize this now, and it would not surprise the writer that At tne{
end Of this war, no matter who wins, England should seek an ahiancR
with Germany and Austria against Russia
To get immediate results: to destroy German rivalry, German trade
and influence througout the world, England backed up Russia in this war;
thinking that in her later inevitable contest with Russia she would make
use Of these same defeated powers 70 help her fight Russia. She may
be badly disappointed in this game and gamble. This war is often ineor
recay called a struggle between Teuton and slav-it is not-but a struggle
between western civilization represented by all the races Of western
Europe, including the western Shv, and the Russian oriental semibar
barism and despoism. The question Of the neutrality OF Belgium nag
little to do with Englands entering into this var Her history shows
that she has no such scrupe Of conscience, when it is to her interest NOT
to have them. She attacked Copenhagen, occupied it. partly destroyed and
partly held captive the Danish fleet in the midst OF peace with that
country, because she thought it would help her in fight against Napoleon
to do 90 Sir Edward Greys words and actions made it plain to any
thinking man that he had other reasons for attacking Germany, y; %
cripple Germany, to keep her from becoming too strong in Europe COM
merdaly and politically for the comfort Of England No other nation
has shown greater disregard for treaties than England when It is to hi
interest to disregard them, hence her congnomen: Perfdious Albion.
In the last hundred years Germany has been the only large European
country that has not waged war for conquest, although Prussia annexed
sleswickHohtein in 1884, but she did not take the Dutchies from Dem
mark, they we're a state independent Of Denmark united only by the bond
of a common ruler, as was formerly Norway and Sweden. The king Of
Denmark, as duke of Hosten, wa a prince Of the old Roman empire Of
the German nation, and later a member of the German federation. The
people are Of the purest German stock, only a small percent in the north
Of sleswck being Danes. When Denmark was about to incorporate the
dutehies as a Danish province, the people protested 4
Austria and Prussia, a executors q the German federation, intera
fered in their behalf and eventually they we're Joined to Prussa.
Germany took AsaceLothringen from France in a war that was forced
upon her; but by 81 doing she merely came into her own again, for they
were old German lands, inhabited by German peope-ony two sevenths
being French-they were stolen by Louis XIV from Germany in the
midst of peace in a fatal hour of German weakness. In hundred years
Germany has waged neither war or taken a foot Of soil by conquest
For nearly all this time Engiands war drums have resounded over one
part Of the world to another; she has destroyed two republics, made war
on China, forcby taken Egypt, made war upon Russia and tyrannized,
as always, over Ireland. Russia has been at war almost continuously Il
not in Europe than in Asia. France likewise by conquest acquired North
Africa, Madagascar, Cochn-China and Tonquin; Japan acquired by war
and conquest Frmosa, part of Manchuria and lately a part Of China.
Our own Uncle Sam has taken by conquest the Philippines, Porto Rico and
other islands, and yet people will talk Of German mlitarsm and az
gresgion.
The German people and government should be credited, at least
with having common sense. If Germany intended entering upon a policy
of aggression, she would not do 70 at a moment, when she knew that the
three great European powers had conspired against her The only CAM
paign that until now England has won in this war is her international
publicity campaign. By her practical control Of all the International means
of publicity she has put in operation the most wonderful lie factory the
world has ever seen. Despairng Of conquering Germany by force Of
arms she put to work all the children of the father of lies to assassnae
