what he stands for. He is a King of Peace, by talent he 

 is a soldier, and, by nature a nobleman that explains the 

 success of the German army. And furthermore England 

 should have remembered that Russia and France attempted 

 to induce Germany to join them in a combination war 

 against Great Britain and destroy her in 1901 while she was 

 engaged in the Boer war. Let it be remembered it was to 

 the credit of the Kaiser that he rejected these proposals, and 

 Great Britain was saved in consequence. This is some 

 more proof what the Kaiser stands for. 



We in America say if Germany did not figure on war, 

 what does she keep such large armies for? Well, Germany 

 has not got as large an army as France. The population of 

 Germany is 70,000,000, and has an army of 5,000,000; 

 France's population is 40,000,000, and has an army of 

 4,000,000. So Germany, out of 30,000,000 more popula- 

 tion than France, has 1,000,000 soldiers, while France, 

 out of 40,000,000, has 4,000,000 soldiers. And Russia has 

 a larger army than either Germany or France. And while 

 we are talking about the large army of Germany, we say 

 very little about England's big fleets and that she spent 

 $225,000,000 in 1913 to enlarge her navy. Neither do we 

 say anything about that Russia added 600,000 to her army 

 in 1913. And as far back as 1912 the military party of the 

 French Republic openly inaugurated aggressive prepara- 

 tions, including the projects for bringing the colored troops 

 of the French colonies in to line against Germany, and, for 

 the increase in standing army by a bill known as a Three 

 Years' Service Law; all this was done by the French 

 Parliament in 1913. What did all this mean? They were 

 preparing to crush Germany! While Germany was won- 

 dering and watching about these that are now her enemies 

 she simply kept pace with them. Why, England has more 

 battleships and cruisers than Germany, Russia and France 

 put together, and now during this war, England has im- 

 ported all the breeds that she can get a hold of, to swell
