The brutal streak in his mental makeup mweiits him from appreciating any rule but that of force. Indeed his cleverest philosophers some of whom won world vide reputations, had the same blind spot in their minds.

How Germany has ruled or will rule herself is strictly h ^ busiimss, although we can rest assured it will always be by force. But, when she tries to impose such a rule on the remainder o i tne wty-ld, then it becomes everybody's business. For whi^h reason there will be few neutrals before all is over. < .
