they believed that, but their interpre-

symbolized virtue! not the virtue of
the Sermon on the Mount, but the
virtue of Wotan and Thor. 1t was
justice which should be given to
all the world from the imperial throne
of Germany. 1t was peace which
should be the peace of modern Rome,
the pax Germanica.

Alexander of Macedon conquered
the world. Wilhelm of Germany has
failed in a similar enterprise.
Something over two thousand years
separated them, as well as changes
innumerable and profound in the con-
ditions of mans life, in the organiza-
ton of states, in the ideals which in
spire statesmen and peoples. Even
had the head of the house Of Hohen-
zollern the towering genius Of the
Macedonian, he could not have achiev-
wide distribution of the resources of
knowledge which give nations COM
mand over their fate. The war was
the monstrous offspring Of Prussian
pride, the egotism of parvenu sue
cess which in a generation Of striking
triumphs in war and diplomacy had
raised Prussia to dizzy height OF
power. In such an atmosphere the
prandiose scheme of "world conquest
or downfall' grew and thrived. There
is no more interesting chapter in the
history of government than that which
will convey to posterity the astonish-
ing story of how, under the influence
of single ambitious purpose, the
militarist oligarchy of Prussia, sup
ported by philosophers, historians,
teachers, preachers and men of bust
ness, directed for decades the moral,
intellectual and material resources of
an empire along consistent lines to-
ward the tremendous concentration
and consummation of organized force
which in 1914 the kaiser let loose
upon the world.
We in America with our pacific tenn
per, our hand to mouth policies. our
easy, good natured habit of laissez
faire, could not comprehend such q
phenomenon of national discipline and
persistent purpose. For long time
we could not see its threat to our
selves or realize our interest in the
fate of the peoples which shared our
own standards and mode'of life. When
we at last came to understanding we
acted, and the great issue was by that
decision determined.
The German conspiracy Of world
domination was an anachronism. 1t
was the German philosopher Fichte
who declared: "Over the gate of the
twentieth century shall be written the
words, This is the way to virtue, 70
justice, and to peace" At Potsdam
