Does he expect to find any one who will believe that in the summer of 1914 millions of happy, hard-working human beings all over the European continent were “thirsting” to leave their homes and plunge into a terrible business of blood and butchery over the question how far the Austrian Government should be allowed bully Serbia? It’s a little too much. If one thing is certain it is that the blame for what happened can never be shifted and distributed over savage | populations sleeping on their weapons, ready to fly at one another's throats. Civilization had progressed further than that. The impulse toward war did not come from the millions that have had to make it and suffer most from it. On the contrary, as the President of the United States said in his ever-to-be-remembered address to Congress on April 2: | “It was a war determined upon as wars used to be deter- mined upon in the old unhappy days when peoples were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in the interest of dynasties or of little groups of ambitious men who were accustomed to use thelr fellow men j @s pawns and tools.” It is incredible that any Teutonic Kaiser can expect Americans,| at least, to swallow the proposition that the present conflict was) brought on by the popular will or that popular instinct must be soothed and “enlightened” in order to lessen the possibility of another. The very thing America has entered this war to help put a final end to is the menace to peace, freedom and democracy which lies “in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized} force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people.” Emperor Charles can call it a peoples’ war until he is black in the face. He deceives no one. It is a peoples’ war only in the sense that the people shed the blood and bear the burdens.

At best the prisoner-prince was a Failure. according to his father, he had been a Failure. Prussia, then as now, was military-mad. Frederick. hated military routine and winced at sound of a cannon. and a milksop and used to thrash him in pubite, horrible childhood, perhaps, in the series on Historic Boys and Girls.) Unable to stand the torture and the humiliation to which the brutal King subjected him, the Prince at last planned to run away and to take refuge in England with his uncle, From his earliest days, His father called him a dunce (You read of Frederick's His dearest friend, Lieut. Katt, helped But at the last minute scovered. Frederick was thrown into A scaffold was erected just outside the window. From this cell he was foreed to look on while Katt mounted this scaffold and He had failed in everything.

Then, in 1740, the death of the brutal old King brought Frederick to the throne as ruler of Prussia, and at once things began to happen. The “Failure” proceeded to become so drilliant a success that history “Frederick the Great, His success, It is true, was built by sacrificing the lives of many thousand brave men and by turning most of Europe into an armed camp. He who had loathed everything military now proceeded to go Much of his long life was spent in the This marriage did not had the gift of surrounding himself who made his reign famouse and his When Frederick the Great and with a population of 6,000,000, this new wealth and territory were due to the genius of the “Failure” whose own father had declared him a dunce not fit to reign.
