■ I-et us be perfectly frank and ad
mit that the average German in his
mind does not wholly accept the
doctrines of these writers. 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

must also acknowledge that the

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

scores of non-combatant men and

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:

Germany .—a theory that decries
