Kaiser contains these words: Prom | childhood I have been under the in- 1 fluence of five men. Alexander. Julius 1 Caesar, Theodoric Second, Frederick 1 men dreamed a dream of world empire they failed. I am dreaming a dream of the German World Empire-and my mailed fist shall succeed" He printed one map headed "The Roman Empire" with all the great states captured and their capitals-Athens, Ephesus, Jersu- salem, Alexander. Carthage-reduced to county-seat towns, paying tribute to Rome. But the Kaiser prints side by side with that map another world map, with Berlin the capital and by 1915, St. Petersburg, Paris and London were to be county-seat towns, subdued provinces of Germany-and Washing ton and Ottawa were to follow with the word "Germania" stamped on the | United States and Canada. That is why the Kaiser told Mir Gerard: "Af- ter this war. l shall stand no nonsense from the United States" The Presi- dent heard, but he did not tremble l The originator of this World War was the Kaiser; Treitschke was it's histor- l ian Nietzsche its philosopher; Von Bissing and Von Hindenburg Its execu- tives. The murder of Edith Caveli, hundreds of women and children on the Lusjtania, the rape of Belgium, the assassination of Northern France, were the outer exhibition in deeds of the in- ner philosophy of force. Their great master whom they celebrate and never tire of praising-Nietzsche judges Ger many aright. On page 3S, in Ecce ! Homo. Nietzsche says: Wherever Germany extends her sway. she ruins culture" On page l24 of the same volume he says 'I feel it my duty to tell the Germans that every crime against culture lies on their con- science" By culture Nietzsche means painting, sculpture, cathedrals, inter national laws, the Athenian sweetness, reasonableness and light. Germany's goal should be a super Hercules or Goliath, with the club. Germany has no gift for culture of the intellect. As | to that there is no other culture beside France"
 Reflex Influence of Her Philosophy Consider the reflex influence of Ger many's philosophy of militarism upon
 her statesmen and diplomats. In one
 of his greatest speeches, Edmund
 Burke speaks of "the peculiar sanctity
 attaching to the word of a foreign min-
 ister" From Phocion to John Hay.

 failure of a government to make good
 it's word as "a crime against civiliza-

 With the standards of civilized states in mind, recall the intellectual and
 moral atrocities of the Kaiser and
 Bethmann- Hollweg. In 1911 the Ger
 man Foreign Office reaffirmed the
 Treaty with England and France, to
 observe the neutrality of Belgium in
 the event of war with France. On
 July Sl, 1914, the Kaiser's Prime Min
 ister telegraphed Lord Grey that Ger
 many would of course keep her treaty
 obligations as to Belgium. The French
 and English governments now have
 full knowledge of the conference be-
 tween the Austrian Emperor and the
 Kaiser at the Potsdam Palace on July
 9th, with the agreement to launch the
 war August first, When the War Pro-
 clamation was delayed until August
 third, the Kaiser's representative used
 this sentence in his speech in the
 Reichstag: We must not postpone the
 agreement entered into with Austria at
 the Conference of July 5th.' For more
 than three weeks, therefore, before war

 was on the harness, and the last rifle
 in the hands of the soldiers, on Aug ust 3rd, war was declared. Then Beth ? mann- Hollweg sent out this statement to the world, as to why the Kaiser and
 himself counted an international treaty l a scrap of paper
