Since the time of Fichto the Germans have elung with growing pride to this notion that they are aa original, uneontamiuated race. This conception readily with their philosophical and mystical eoneeptiwu of the state or rather the Prussian or German state not as a piece of machinery (after the American fashion, say, or the English) but as something living, almost divine. From this point of view it was only a step to the conception that they were a chosen people. They were chosen to create a new type of culture, they thlnar anoV impose it even on an unwilling world. (Speaking of Belgium) "The de tlnies of the immortal great nation taad so high that they can not but have tho right in case of need to stride" over- existences that can no-defend themselves but support them selves shamelessly upon the rivatrinn of the great." Hermans Oncken (Heidelberg), Suddeutsch September, 1914.

''Oncken is an eminent professor of history at Heidelberg. ''Wo feel ourselves to be the bearers of a superior kultur. We have no doubt -that a defeat of our people woytd retard by centuries the development of mankind. On the other hand, we hoe, by the victory of Oat arms, to bring about a new efflorescence of humanity through the German, nature, which will thus prove itself fruitful of blessings for other nation as well."

The world shall once again be healed by the German spirit that shall be no empty phraa (or us. All the deep courage, patriotism, faithfulness, moral purity, conscience, the sense of duty, activity on a moral basis, inward nehes, intellect, industry, and so forth no other nation possesses all these things In sich high perfection aa we do. And because it is so, because Germany is the leader in the entire domain of intellect, character and soul and In the end the world's judgment depends on these because Germany is thus more and more becoming the renter of the world, therefore our neigh-bors look upon it askance and with envy. Thus this war is a war of envy and jealousy of Germany's leadership. It is a fight hounds against a noble quarry." PagtorW.
