A FALLACY MADE IN GERMANY 



or of the boa constrictor with his victim, in estab- 

 lishing relations with other peoples! This ferocious 

 appeal of kaiserism to predatory nature — to "Na- 

 ture red in tooth and claw " — in order to set itself 

 right before the conscience of mankind, is as fatuous 

 as it is fallacious. If we could reckon without the 

 sense of right and wrong, which has a survival value 

 as real as any form of physical might or power of 

 adaptation, especially with the later civilized na- 

 tions (except Germany), a different face would be 

 put upon the question. But we cannot. The flood- 

 tide of world democracy and humanity is setting too 

 strongly in that direction, and we can only hope 

 and pray that misguided Germany may in the new 

 generation be caught up and borne forward to new 

 greatness and world usefulness, on the bosom of the 

 same tide.
