Spirit of MiIitarism and Conquest
Is as Old as Germany :
Itself.
SEEK CONTROL OF WORLD
Failure Due to Fact That II Did Not
Include Reckoning With HUI
man Nature AZ God
Made It.
(By HAPsBURe LIEsE of the Wig
ilantes,)


The average man of those who
have kept up with current events dur
ing the last few years will tell you
that Germany's colossal plan is 40
years old As matter of fact, the
seeds of 1t were sown more than a
dozen times 40 years ago. The spirit
Of militarism and conquest and might
fs-right is as old as the Teutonic war
party, which is as old as Germany it
self. The majority of the other ma
tons saw plenty of signs of the mon
ster, for the war lords were bragg
CARTS. and they could not refrain from
boasting of their scheme. The won
der of all is that these other nations,
the United States included, have not
been taking preparatory and defensive
measures for several decades.
The ultimate aim of the plan was,
of course, the complete control and
kulturization of the world. 1t was
born of brains rendered british
through the over and over intermarry-
ing of an autocracy that was barba-
rian to begin with. A little like a
moon-calf, it was at the outset. but its
morally befuddled parents fostered it
until they actually believed it pos
lated the people with its germs until
the people themselves fell for it.
Human Nature Left Out.
So far this plan has failed. however
narrowly, for the simple reason that
1t did not include reckoning with
the human nature that God made. The
soldiermen of other nations are in the
long run stronger than the cast-in-the-
mold iron soldiers of Germany. 1t is
the thorough organization of the Ger
man armies that has been the chief
difficulty of the entente allies. Per-
haps the greatest strength of the plan
itself, however, lay in the very stu
pendousness of it. Few would be-
lieve that any one nation would dare
attempt to ensla-e the rest of the
world. Half the rest of the world does
not realize it yet 1t is too big for
their imaginations. Their fmagfna-
lions are, naturally. peace-time-
This is the main trouble with us
here in America. So many of US will
not see what we are facing or what
we are fighting for. If we did see. the
success of the Liberty Loan and the
Red Cross drives, the food-saving and
the fuel-saving campaigns, would be
much greater. It's of no use now to
harp that our administration leaders
should have seen the signs of the times
several years ago; 1t kills no German
to blame our representatives at WASH
