man defensive power-him we judge
to be no true German"
A. German philosopher tells US here
lately:
eye shall love peace as means to
new wars, and the short peace better
than the long, and war to be effective
must be merciless and must be saw
age"
With the leading thinkers, ancient
and modern, teaching the people these
ideas-I cannot say ideals-need we
look further for the causes Of the
great war. The German people are
now German educated and are behind
the government in soul and spirit, tho
it be the outlaw Of the world. Amer
lea is now rightfully in the war. Let
us not regard the thing lightly, be-

Kaiser's Cult of Might.

Let us now turn to the growing SEN
timent of the German people for war
and conquest and see where they were
being educated. Nietzsche, the great
German materialist, appealed to the
thinking classes with his argument for
gross materialism and cult of might.
Trietschke, the historian, taught his
people that war was holy thing, to
keep people up to the highest level.
/ should not wonder if it was he who
first used the word "mollycoddle" in
German for the nation or individual
that would not fight when something
was wanted. Then Bernhard, the gen.
eral, reached the military classes with
the teaching of German imperialism
as set down by Bismarck-"Deutsch
land uber allies" must be maintained
and spread by force of arms to give
it "a place in the SUM-" Diplomacy
was synonymous with trickery and
treachery, to these men, and treaties
scraps of paper. German diplomats
were only used as csmoufage or COW
ering until the nation was ready TO
spring at the threats Of her neigh
bors. Is there wonder that we call
them Huns? They have laid in wait
to murder, and in the law, for indi-
viduals, this is murder in the first de-
gree, WIN malice aIOreInOuRnC, ana
punishable with death. The Germans
chose the name Of Huns. Let us note
the emperor's speech to the German
troops leaving for China, delivered
July 81, 1900. Gas soon as you come
to blows with the enemy he will be
beaten; no mercy will be shown; no
prisoners will be taken. AS the Huns
under King Attila made a name for
themselves which is still mighty in
tradition, and in legends today may
