WHILE NO ONE can tell what countries would come uppermost in a Eu
ropean war of general magnitude it is sure that the company of powers
that won would have most of the world at its feet.
If this war took place and went on to the bit
\\ Hll'Il WILL WIN ter end one can hardly imagine the results. The
British fleet may win in the north or it may lose,
and just think of the result in either case.
It means either the pride of Germany humbled or it means German
armies crossing right into the British Islands. It might mean hosts of arm
ed men in English. Scotch or Irish soil and a repetition of the Norman con
quest without, of course, the danger that the Germans would remain.
These things would come rather close home to millions of people in this
continent. However it goes such a war would be of vital interest to all the
world. During the fighting the partisans of the several countries over here
would be so numerous that really there would be danger. Just imagine a lot
of French cheering a defeat of the Germans in Milwaukee. Just imagine a
crowd of Germans standing around and hearing it.
In the German army the officers drink a certain toast and have been drink
ing it for manv Years. It is the most important toast after that to the em
t eror. This toast is “The Day” anti it has been understood to mean “the day”
when the Germans would meet the British for the conquest of the ocean.
>uch a war as that threatened hardly seems to be possible. One can
hn)\U\ believe that the populations of Europe could manage to exist for any
considerable length of time while the manhood of all the nations was engaged
in the work of cutting each other up and the fields remained untilled.
Another thing seems hardly likely ami that is that Germany and Austria
could stand against the tremendous combination which is formed in opposi
tion to them. The two nations stand together geographically. North of
them is the naval power of Great Britain. Along their whole eastern borders
stands the power of a. the Russias. To the west is the great military power
of France, and south is Serna which is by no means a negligible quantity.
]a the south also are Greece. Montenegro and, perhaps, other states that
might be reckoned on to aid in the Austrian humiliation. On all sides the
two empires are surrounded in such a way that they would have to fight
back to back.
Maybe this war will never take place, but if it does not come now it will
only mean that Britain and Germany and the rest will continue their ruinous
race for armaments. Never, perhaps, will Britain get such a good excuse to
destroy the fleet of Germany before it becomes too powerful. Indeed Bri
tain’s only hope for maintaining the supremacy of the sea cannot last unless
the German naval power is destroyed now. This is probably the fact from
which comes the greatest danger.
It is fight now or continue to tax their people to death.
