climate and an ungenerous soil. Only
the strongest survived, and these
New Englanders or Yankees are the
best fighters on earth. They beat the
English and freed themselves from
English domination.
Without attributing supernatural
qualities TO the English, IL is easy to
understand how they have won the
long struggle for the hegemony OF the
ocean. Placed on an island off the
western coast OF Europe on the road
TO all the new lands. IL was a matter
OF life and death TO the English to
win the mastery of the seas.
II was not a matter OF life and
death for France. 10 was a matter
OF life and death for France TO keep
her position on the continent. She
ought never 10 have embarked on n
struggle with England for the SUI
premacy of the seas. But she did em-
bark on II and was beaten and lost
her position on the continent 10 boot.
And now Germany is embarking on
the same struggle, thanks to the en-
peror and her commercial classes, and
It looks as If Germany were doomed
to be beaten in the struggle.
II IS a matter OF life and death for
Germany TO keep the lordship Of the
continent; she had no business
to embark on a struggle with ENG
land for the supremacy of the seas
that is a side-issue for Germany,
while Il is a vital matter to England
Now why, In this conflict, has not
England shown her fighting power on
land?
The answer Is the censorship.
Englands weakness has always been
that she has not believed sufficiently
in genius; does not trust genius. Her
army, according 10 the accounts OF her
own people. is always weakest in Of
ncers Of ability-weake even than
other armies-and all armies are weak
in this respect; for the basis idea OF
I AN army is founded on discipline and
subservience and genius is always in
subordinate and rebeliious.
In a story once l found the artistic
symbol for It.:
Put potatoes in a cart and trans
port them over road. If the road Is
long enough and rough enough the big
potatoes will come to the top and the
little ones will go to tho bottom
The road has been long enough
and hard enough I'm France for the
big British potatoes TO come to the
top and the little ones TO go TO the bot
tom, but the censorship has prevented
that. IN the Civil War in the United
States we got rid OF 26 generals before
we found Grant.
The English have only got rid Of
one general. French, practically for

] have always regarded the British
as a great lighting nation. Almost
everything they have won in the world
has been won by fighting. Their whole
history is one long contest for the su-
premacy Of the seas. That was the
reason they fought the Spaniards and
destroyed the Armada. A generation
or so later we find them fighting Prot
estant Holland just as bitterly as
they fought Catholic Spain with pre-
cisely the same object. Little by lit
tie they beat Holland as completely
as they had beaten Spain, and then
they entered into a $50 years conflict
with France and although much few
