What is the German nation really
fighting for today?
And how would the attainsneat of
those objects menace the United
States?
put these questions to Sir Charles
"aIdstein, Cambridge University, in
ternatlonal authority, whose recent
book. What Germany Is Fighting
For" has attracted world notice.
He has had special facilities for
obtaining authoritative German docu-
ments revealing the Teutons' war
/ aims, was in closest touch with Ger
! man policies long before the war,
and can recount personal conversa-
j tlOns with German leaders from Met
| tern'Ch and Prince Bulow to the
! Kaiser himself.
'Do not be deiuded." Sir Charles
began, "by the conflicting war state
ments by irresponsible German eX-
/ tremists.

] Of aggression I follow closely a nota-
hle manifesto by Professor Dietrich

fully expect to keep the invaded dis
tricts
Second. as to Belgium. even Hans
Delbruck and the extreme anti-an-
neyationists have failed to recognize
Belgium's right to full restitution,
much less reparation. Even they
| threaten Belgium with division.
"Thjrd, it is certainly a German
war plan that the parts Of Russia
and Poland now held must be re-
tanned.
Fourth, there is the distinct pro-
iect of a Middle European empire
from the Belgian and Baltis ports to
| the Indian Ocean,
"What would then be the direct
lmenace to America?
'Threo possibilities would arise
with British naval power destroyed
and incorporated in that of Germany
"First they would consolidate the
German empire itself, greatly en-.
larged ad strengthened Their com
merce and industrial power woull
soon Overshadow all rivals They
! would organize their trace route:
through Central Europe, the Balkan.
and Turkey, to the Persian Gulf anC
develop an African Empire
"In the second place. thew woulC
extend their power to the Far East
and come to terms with Japan.
But, in the third place-if not a
once - their expansion westward
would lead to conquest in Centra
