This eternal accusation I shall write upon all walls: call Chris tianity the one great curse, the one great, intrinsic depravity for which no expedient is sufficiently poi sonous, secret, subterranean and mean. I call 1t the one immortal shame and blemish upon the human race"
 Nor is he kindlier toward Judaism toward the Judaism of later days, at least. He has words of admiration, indeed, for that warrior nation which came flaming out of Egyptian bondage corded with his ideal superman. But that Judaism which followed the Baby lonian captivity excites only his bitter contempt. And his dissertation upon the origin of morality, as taught by Jewish history, is one of the most characteristically Nietzschean of all that he has written.
 In the last analysis, Nietzsche taught a dual system of morality-a master morality for his beloved superman and slave morality for the masses who were too impotent, too spiritless or too foolish to make headway against the predatory proclivities of their masters. And in the earlier Hebrew, the man of war and conquest, swarming into a land of milk and honey and making it his own by the edge of his sword putting it's men, women and children | to q bloody death--he beheld his SUI perman, with whom God was synony- nous with strength, power, beauty, courage, ruthlessness, ferocity, because these things contributed to the exer- | else and realization of his Will to | Power, and gave him added greatness ard supremacy.
 | But when the Jews were carried into masters, but slaves-the reversed con- ditions of their lot (reasoned Met ssche) reversed for them the defini- ton of God. Resort to the sword be- came, then, the worst thing in the I world for them; it meant eXtermina- ton. Unable to combat their masters | With the sword, they resorted to the supreme weapon of the slave Gas Met Zsche styles iD; they adopted the | moral law as their instrument in the | irrepressible struggle for supremacy. l And thus the characteristics of cow ! ardice, timidity, obsequiousness-t 1 marks of the slave-Were elevated into | virtues. They became love of ones | enemies, obedience to God, meekness of heart; and the suppressed envy | malice and covetousness of these en- | slaved people were thus transmitted 1 through the alchemy of the moral law. into their opposite virtues. Thus in l preme triumph of the slave over the truly great and powerful and good. It is characteristic of the Germanic philosophy, however, that in spite of it's terrific condemnation of Christian l ity it would not abolish this. Met zsches objections to both Christianity and the moral law are based, not upon their intrinsic qualities, but upon the l fact that they impose restrictions upon 1 the ruthlessness and aggressiveness o1 the superman. He would even per petuate Christianity and the moral law, as means of more easily control ling the slaves"
 Such, in brief, are the teachings oi the Germanic philosophy.
 l It is to that philosophy that Ger many's policies of treachery and in trigue, of falsehood and deceit, of ruthless brutality and unblushing vio lation of every law that humanity holds sacred, are directly attributable In the eyes of Germany the Hohen zollern caste are supermen; and as such clothed with divine right to mur- der and pillage and lay waste, to lie and intrigue and to do whatever else may promise to further their own soy. ereign Will to Power.
 Herein lies the key to the character of Kaiser Wilhelm, and of Hindenburg and of Von Tirpitz and of all the long list whose names have become anath, ema upon the lips of civilization This explains the wanton tearing of l that scrap of paper" which preached the Belgian frontier and poured a flood of barbarism upon an unoffend- l ing people. This is the reason---the horrible unreason-that lies back Of the slimy, midnight activities of the most perfectly organized system of espionage the world ever saw, and that projected and maintains the brutal and cowardly "untersee" outrages against international law upon the high seas. It was this philosphy which inspired the war song, Deutschland uber Alles."
