The project of an invasion OF
America subsequent to a German
victory in Europe was developed at
great length in 1901 by Baron Won
Edelsheim in his book corporations
Upon the Sea-" and it should be
recollected that when he wrote 1t ne
was in the service of>the German gen
eral staff. He said, probably with
some foreknowledge of German hab-
ite in conouered countries:
THE fact that one or two of her
provinces are occupied by invaders
would not alone move the Americans
to sue for peace. To accomplish this
end. the invaders would have to in
flict real material damage by inJur-
ing the whole country through the
successful seizure Of many OF the
Atlantic ports, in which the threads
of the entire wealth of the nation
meet. 1t should be so managed that
a line of land operations would be in
close juncture with the fleet, through
which we would be in position to
seize in a short time many of these
important and rich cities, to inter-
rupt their means of supply, disor-
ganize all governmental affairs, as
sumo the control of all useful build
ings. confscate all war-and-trans-
port supplies, and lastly to impose
heavy indemnities =. as a matter
of fact, Germany is the only great
power which is in a position to con-
quer the United States"
There has been slight dislocation
in this interesting programme, but a
still more marked miscalculatfon was
made regarding the German immi-
grant and his functions, which were,
of course, to prepare the way for the
ultimate absorption of America into
the bosom of the Fatherland,
and until that happy day ar
rived he was to assist by every
means in his power that programme
of active Germanization of American
institutions which he knew to have
been directed from Berlin. For ex-
ample, Wilhelm Hubbe-Schleiden,
writing in the Alldeutsche Blatter in
1908, said:
1T is the duty of every one who
loves languages to see that the future
language spoken in America shall be
German. 1t is of the highest import
ance to keep up the German language
in America, to establish German uni
versities, improve the schools, in
troduce German newspapers, and to
see that at American universities
