Ily Cliadh 51. Me, Deaver, CIA
That we are engaged in a Titanic
Struggle, greater in. its . onSe-
quonces than the Napoleonic wars
ofour ancestors, and one Which
will try our national .fortitude and
temper tothe uttermost, (every
thoughtful 'person will readily cen-
CC e. t may be some satis act.on
to know that HAS world-wide drama
in which we are to play our 'role is
not of our seeking, but whoever or
whatever the cause, can now cut
but little figuee. The great Areo-
pagus of the neutral nations, those
trustees of the world's conscienee,
have already pronounced.in no un-
certain tones in our favor. Indeed,
it is doubtful if there 'is a nation on
the face of the globe, great 00,811101,
excepting subsidized Turkey, • that
does net hate the Kaiser and his
war methods.
This 10151' is the inevitable out-
come of a, policy which bears the
title of Realpolitiek„ and • which
first, Prussia and then Geemany has
been carrying on for over 100
ye ars ,
This so-called polley ia based on
the priaciple -that as far as all out-
side nations are concerned,
"Might is right," the end justifies
the means and thislms merged by
easy gradalions into the German be-
lief that theY are a chosen people,
and their sovereign is the Lord's
Anointed. And even this , policy
would have aectimplished but little
if it had not been backed up at
home with is policy of strengthening
the nation. If we go back to the
reign of the Prussian Monarch
Frederick the Great MA -MO, we
find this dual policy of land -grab-
bing abread, and !band improve-
ment at home in full operation.
In 1 779 he partiMpated with Aus-
tria and Russia in carving up Po-
land, his share being West, Prussia.
As his own Chancellor*he had a
finger in every pie, an example the
present William has faithf ally
copied. 'Prussia shared in a second
and third partition of Poland. in
1793 and 1795, and certain changes
and re -arrangements took place in
1807, by which Prussia gobbled up
Posen, et)that to -day the population
of Germany is 10 per cent. of
Poles, and whom she has never sue-,
ceeded in assimilating.
Then in 1815, Prussia acquired
Saxony, and the Rhine Provinces
and Westphalia, which greatly. in-
creased the unification of -Germany.
In 1834 she started the famous Zoll-
verein, the result of whioh was to
cover the whole country with a net-
work of toll -bars,. In 1866 she an-
nexed the duchies of 'Schleswig-Hol-
stein. It is through Holstein the
Kiel Canal runs.
Meanwhile, Austria had WU or-
dered out of Germany, after the
battle of Saclowa, end told to push
eastward, and seek -compensation
by conquering what Slav countries
die couke while Prussia annexed a
lot of small north German states
that had taken Austria's side.
In 1870 a quarrel was picked with
France, the` King of Prussiit pre-
tending to have been insulted by
the French. Ambassador, The re.
sults of this war are well known,
Germany annexed Alsace and the
largest part of Lorraine, although
the inhabitants were mostly French.
The Franco-German war led to the
definite eonsadation of Germany
under the ' King of Prussia, who
took the title of Kaieer William I.,
and the dream of Bismarck to weld
together the country by blood and
iron Was effected. The re at ter Ger-
many became a world -power. In
1870, Germany, wibhout any %Luse
save the prosperous condition of
Frame, of which she was jealous,
proposed to attack France, but
France wee sae -ed by the interveo-
lion of Britain's Queen, with the
aid of the Emperor of Russia, zind
finally Emperor William told Von
Moltke that he felt too old to have
another war on lois conscience.
'Bismarck strongly encouraged
the country to embark on a vigor-
ous colonial policy, though it
might have the effect of weakening
Germany in Europe,Thus after
years of carefully sending colonists
to a Brazilian Provinee, where they
formed veritable German commnrei-
ties, the Brazilians took fright, and
informed the United States, who
became greatly alarmed, as this at
seemed to infringe the "Monroe
Doebrine,'' and this was assigned as
the principal reason for the great
inetease in the American Navy,
Which occurred from 1890 to 1891.
