of necessity, the needs of an army will alone decide.--G.W.B., p. 134.

FOOTNOTES:

Observe that these two utterances are not shrieks of the war frenzy, but are the reflections of a German patriot in the year of grace 1900.

The author does not explain how Germanic elements are to be discovered in peoples which he has assumed to have nothing Germanic in them.

This chapter is an ingenious disquisition to prove that humanity may be all very well for inferior races, but that Germanism cannot be hampered by its restraints.

This and the previous extract are taken from an address on the Sermon on the Mount!

MACHIAVELISM

MACHIAVELISM

FOOTNOTES:

Frederick the Great's principle was: "When kings want war they begin it, and leave learned professors to come after and prove that it was just."

In other words, Bismarck always told the truth when it was absolutely convenient.

Reventlow's interpolation.

ENGLAND, FRANCE & BELGIUM--ESPECIALLY ENGLAND

FOOTNOTES:

This clergyman's pamphlet, of 24 pp., is one uninterrupted torrent of abuse.

It would be easy to cite 501 repetitions of this dogma in almost the same words.

Otherwise--horror of horrors!--Herr Chamberlain himself might not be quite assured of his Germanism.

As to the prevalence of this illusion in Germany, see section "The Chosen People and its Mission," p. 28; also Introduction, p. xxi.

Repeated, in other words, again and again by this author.

Written 9th October, 1914.

It is only fair to state that the writer does not apply this doctrine directly to the case of Belgium; but he cannot but have had it in mind. Here is the passage from Deuteronomy: "When thou drawest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it. And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall become tributary unto thee, and shall serve thee. And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then shalt thou besiege it. And when the Lord thy God delivereth it into thine hand, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword. But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take for a prey unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee."

As to the date of this utterance, see Index of Books.
