...individual consciences and hearts decide. Hate is destructive, a terrible thing to arouse. But there are times when it is a sound instinct of self-preservation--as sound as the instinct to fight. Just whom we shall hate (if we are impelled to hate at all), whether only the Kaiser, or only the Junkers, or the whole German nation, is equally a matter for individual thrashing out. The only criterion we can insist upon is that we shall know the facts and that we shall be sincere. We should be very sure that it is the truth by which...
...spend the summer months commuting from Russia to France. But the old game of war is not as amusing as formerly, the Bolsheviki refuse to go near the Mazurian Lakes, and the German people is loth to waste any more good nails on a wooden image of the Kaiser's right-hand...

The world did not know before that the Kaiser openly admitted the gravity of his situation. In the rest of his response, it is true, the Kaiser speaks in a different vein, but seven words of truth forced their way out among sentences of sham for public consumption. The Allies have tried to make things serious the decisive for over three years now, but Teutonic organization has made their game a slow one. This year...
