The Days of a Man 1914 



The two You must remember that there are two Germanys, the one 



Germany* -4^ \ ou ^ y blatant group that for the present has control of 

 affairs, the other the Germany that you will find only when 

 you talk with men in the privacy of their own homes. 



The next year, in a parliamentary debate, Josiah 

 Wedgwood, since distinguished alike as a brave 

 soldier and a friend of peace, spoke as follows: 



I wish the country could remember that there are two Ger- 

 manys and not one. We are fighting the Junkers and the Hohen- 

 zollerns, and I pray the war may end by smashing them. . . . 

 But there is another Germany, a loving, peaceful Germany 

 . . . moderate, courageous. That Germany has had nothing 

 to do with this work. . . . Remember that these men are 

 being driven to slaughter by the war machine. Remember this: 

 we shall not end this war until we have separated the two 

 Germanys. 



After several weeks of most interesting but sadden- 

 ing experience we left London on the S. S. Megantic 

 of the Dominion Line, and after landing in Montreal 

 went to visit members of Mrs. Jordan's family in 

 Worcester, Boston, and Newport Admiral Knight, 



middle life, died apparently of grief at the insupportable conditions. About a 

 year before, I received from him a card which read as follows: 



"Miinchen, 2 Februar, 1915 

 "Lieber Dr. Starr Jordan: 



"Nehmen Sie freundlichen Dank fur Ihre giitige Karte vom 14 Januar. 

 Sie konnen sich denken mit welch schwerem Herzen ich durch diese schlimmen 

 Zeiten hindurchgehe. Wir miissen glauben und vertrauen. Es muss dock 

 Fr'uhling werden. 



"Mit bestem Gruss, 



"E. Sieper" 



("Friendly thanks for your kind note of January 14. You can yourself 

 imagine with what a heavy heart I go through this miserable time. We must 

 believe and trust. It will yet be spring")
