British fleet took any part in
the war, it would be to stand
between the European fleets
and the American.
The immense service which
England rendered the United
States by this act cannot be
over-estimated, and it should
more than offset, as / think,
the unfriendliness of the Brit
ish Tories toward us during our
Civil War. Reflect for a mo-
meht what would have happen
ed if England had listened to
Germany's reptilian proposal.
With those three European
fleets guarding the coast of
Cuba, we could never have
reached that Island, much less
have landed our armies ON it.
And so we should have been
forced to call off the war with
Spain, a humiliation for which
modern history has no parallel.
Or if our ships had been so in
sane as to attack those of the
European coalition, we should
have had war with England,
France and Germany on our
hands, our Atlantic seaboard
would have been defenseless,
and all our sea cities from
Charleston to Eastport would
have been at the mercy of our
enemies. What losses we
should have suffered, what
huge indemnities we should
have had to pay, who can com
pute?
Kaiser William remarked at
the time to an Englishman who
repeated the remark to Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain: "If | had
had a larger fleet ! would have
taken Uncle Sam by the scruff
of the neck" What the Prus-
sian Despot means when he
takes a nation by the scruff of
the neck, the world has since
learned. - William Roscoe
Thayer in the "World's Work"
for November.
