The War for the World

Excerpt from The War for the World
"This war is in reality a life and death struggle between two forms of State, one retrograde and no longer capable, the other far advanced and capable of the most powerful activities. Either Germany with its organisation and ideas will be destroyed in this war, or England, if it is to live at all, must rebuild its institutions and introduce that Continental form of State of which Germany is the most shining example." - Professor Eduard Meyer.
"Because these (German aims and methods) have a loathly side, and because these endanger our commerce, our institutions, our very existence, we must not in our perfectly legitimate anger ignore the fact that they could not have given Germany her present strength without much good being mixed with the evil." - Morning Post, 8th February, 1916.
"Fight the Germans like the Germans." - Mr. Austin Harrison.
I
In these dark and unbalanced days, when mass-psychology can ill support any contradiction of the prevailing temper, it is necessary, I am aware, for an obdurate Anti-German like myself to walk somewhat gingerly.
