Never theless. one has only to study Bel gium and the Lusitania to see that Treischke and Nietzsche -gre the true exponent* of official Germany; Not only is it true that in no other nation has such . a school* of phil osophers won popular appgpnaK and not only is it true their brutal i cave-man doctrine? have been ai'n cepted and translated into ^ctloft! by the German government, hut we J must also acknowledge that the derman people, though ordered as 1 soldiers to execute th*-e principle*, in ravaged Belgium or orj pirate styb-'f marines, have not yetr^ rebelled or j made one historic protest agajn^t a government -o controlled.

It js iust such a threat against human rights that Germany has not offlv made but has carried .into ex ecution. When She brutally sank the gallant ship Lusitania and Sf‘nt to tl1*> bottom of the sea scores and scores of non-combatant men and women, including mothers with lit- Ge ones as innocent as those who prattle, at your ow n fireside tonight — when Germany did this and a hundred other similar acts previous ly outlawed, by the conscience of mankind, she dyed her Macbeth- hands with murderer’s blond, which arder not ' all" her "science and skill amU^essary. for the elimination of weak ed "the man of Blond and iron, was the real father of modern Get*, many, and he has stamped the im-! press of lifs warlike and unsj'rupu loijs nature upon every feature o' the nation. A long ^ist of German philosophers and te ( achers have re iterated his views until the German 1 mind is’ thoroughly Inoculated’ with them. Writing in the dispassionate years of the early fin’s, twenty years ago. Dr. A. Lawrence I/tWell. non President of Ha.rvar*l. correctly d**- scribed the trend of German, thought when he’said: ‘ The Kmpeior indeed an . ardent believer in the. new moiiarchial theory which has recently corin' 1 intd vogue in Germany .—a theory that decries universal-** suffrage and pro- . chums the niilitary monarchy. ■a? the best po:;sHde fnrnr of '• * goverpment- th.us f-umishing on#* of many ♦'\atnples of ft'e , wav the end of the re-tuiy' »-• vt ♦ecting'fhe prini iples* arid* re versing tiie’ conejifsions thiit have bee.n laboriously deveiop • *,-eil dtrtjng'v th#r last !iitodt>>#t y# a’s. .
