'It will be said of AVIlhelm II ." says this authority, "that he made his empire great and his subjects small. He Is the greatest of collcctivists and the leaat of Individualist. "In religion, art and morals, we are all ordered in a somewhat hectoring way. to hold opinions similar to the Raiser's, be cause these opinion, though they may dwarf the Individual's mind, are essen tial to the growth of a healthy state. "Healthiness la the order of the day. and by healthiness Is meant merely the Intolerance of Ideas which Is natural to the vigorous. uncultivated man. The, Kai ser's Ideas are all healthy and all com monplace. The noise they make In the world Is due to the author's posit ion and to their perpetual repetition, and not to any inherent originality. "Nevertheless, what WilhMm IL haa done to stunt us mentally he has com pensated for by driving rapidly ahead the all-swallowing state. Germans would be very much better off without their Kaler.
