Says in an Introduction to the
Book, 1.-THE War Of Democracy:
The present wal differs from all

that it is a war d principles, ana q
war in which the permanent interests,
not merely Of the belligerent powers,
but Of all nations, are involved rs
such interests were never involved be-
fore.
According to the German doctrine,
the state is above all morality. What
ever is done in Its interest IL right.
