all movements furthering peace on
earth and good will toward all man
kind.
We all remember President Wilson's
and Secretary Bryan's efforts in that
direction a year or two ago. uermany
flatly refused even to consider
treaty of arbitration. The Kaiser and
his Ore esting Teutons, who now so in
dustriously endeavor to tnrow the
blame onto the other fellow's shoulders
for the state of things now existing,
would not be bound by any agreement
that might in any way hamper Ger
many a action In the future.
"In time of peace prepare for war.
Dues that hackneved Dhrasit sound
familiar to youT We all have beard it
often enough to know It by heart.
Where or by whom it was originated I
do not know, but that the military Ian
a tics, the jingo element and the whole
gun, cannon, and weapon industry in
the world, especially on the continent
of Europe, have applied the meaning of
the phrase to the best advantage for
themselves, that is notorious since the
Krupp and military scandals in Oer
many last year.
They have indeed prepared for war
to the utmost of their ability, but some
have evidently succeeded better than
others by forcing matters beyond the
limit. A short time before Beelzebub
broke his bounds a high German official
referring to the above mentioned
phrase expressed himself frankly, be
cause the time was ripe and there was
no longer need of secrecy, and his
words carry a significance which in the
light of later events is easily under
stood. He said: "Better an end with
terror than a terror without end." Ev
dently Germany was overprepared and
something had to burst.
The combination of the great powers
in Europe, the triple alliance and the
triple entente, were formed, we are
told, for the purpose of preserving in
ternational "balance." How well these
combinations served the alleged pur
pose' and the final grand result is evi
dent. Instead of two warring nations
trying to right a fancied wrong, we
will soon, practically speaking, behold
most of the "civilized" peoples in the
world more or less mixed up in a horri
ble game of death and destruction.
Yes, I said game, because it is a game,
a most royal one, a sport incomparable,
an entertainment worthy of imperial
autocrats and their war-crazed off
spring, who care as much for a human
life as 1 care for a fly in swatting
time.
Some of us have been made half to
believe that preparedness for war
would prevent war, and if we occasion
ally have doubted this jingo axiom the
doubt has instantly been quelled by
the argument that our emaciated intel
lect could not fathom a wisdom intend
ed for gods.
But was there ever a greater fallacy
propounded which has gained such
world wide reputation for containing
an almost Solomonic wisdom in a few
words? Never have the nations been
so well prepared for killing each other
and never has such butchering been
done as is now going on on the conti
nent of Europe.
As long as there are autocratic and
near-autocratic rulers who maintain
and the great mass of their inenlight-
ened subjects are made to believe that
these rulers power and glory and right
to rule are conferred upon them by the
grace of God, who in his infinite wis
dom has endowed them, and only them,
with the necessary qualifications for
their high offices, no long will also wars
occur.
There are no limitations for the self
ishness of a Hapsburg or a Hohenznll-
ern. Any danger threatening their
dynasty must be removed, any living
being, or beings, that seriously dares
to deny that these rulers are rulers by
the grace of God, is treated as an infi
del, a blasphemer.
A french republic and a free and
:n;cerntic government like the English
or the Italian is not only an abomina
tion in their sight, but a positive dan
ger to themselves and all professional
soldiery upon which rest their throne
and their power. This fear of Liberal
ism and liberal movements is nothing
new. We recall the covenant, the eo
called Holy Alliance, formed in ,1815, I
inina, tiy the rulers or Kussia, Austria,
Prussia and Spain, for the purpose of
counteracting and stamping out the
strong republican and democratic move
ments of that time. The Holy Alliance
was.perhaps.especially directed against
the United States, because the politi
cal, financial and ethical influence of
the young but vigorous republic began
to make itself foil In the old by-the-grace-of-God
monarchies of Europe.
uanger to the rotten autocratic insti
tutions was vibrating the air and made
the thrones somewhat shaky. But all
efforts to strangle democratic move
ments railed.
Now, mind you. the Hansbures. the
Hohenzollerns and the Romanovs of
today are certainly no better than their
torebears were a hundred years aeo.
Their personal and political ambitions
are the same although partly masked.
ineir proiessional soldiery, the mili
tary cast, is more dangerous because
more powerful. But of course we
must nave. soldiers in order to preserve
the peace and keep order among the
masses. What would become of princ
es, dukes, counts and barons if the
military caste was abolished? Would
be not be like unto a common mortal?
Away with thought. The military cast
must be maintained at all hazards; the
professional soldiery of the Hapsburgs
and the Hohenzollerns must, now when
they are fully prepared, prove their su
periority in their profession over the
whole world. A pretext is at hand.
A prince of the house of HaDsbure iB

war is declared right and left and the
slaughter begun.
Kussia must be crushed, swore the
Kaiser, or we will never have peace in
Europe. And while making this asser
tion the great war lord at the same
time directed the best and larsest Dart
of his army, not againBt unspeakable
Kussia, dui against a small and weak
nation whose neutrality the Kaiser's
own government had guaranteed. And
so the lair and fertile acrea of demo
cratic Belgium and republican France
are drenched in the red warm blood
not only of their brave defenders, but
also in that of their wives and children.
Yes, there will be wars and rumors
of wars as long as there are autocratic
and near-autocratic rulers on the
thrones of nations. There will always
be dangers of war breaking out in any
country, as long aa a professional sol
diery is maintained which is permitted
to form an exclusive military cast with
almost dictatory powers in matters
pertaining to their profession, and
unbridled allowed to voice their mean
ing in their country's international pol
itics, i believe these to be the princi
pal causes of this and many previous
wars, which easily might hnve been
prevented had not the roar of the war
caste overwhelmed the pleading voice
oi the great mass of the people.
In the case at hand we all know how
King George of England pleaded hard
and eloquently for a conference being
called, composed of English. French.
Italian and German statesmen, to set
tle the dispute' between Austria and
Servia.in which full justice and amends
undoubtedly would bave been given to
the former country for whatever wrong
it had suffered at the hands of the lat
ter.
But no, the great William, and es
pecially his war-crazed offspring, the
crown prince, and hia boon companions
in arms, had no care for the casings of
the dove oi peace, itiey were ready
for the long looked for and long ex
pected fray, for the preparation of
wbicb the 67 millions of German peo
ple have been taxed to death for the
last 40 years. When Germany the 1st
of August declared war against Kussia
she at the same time made it manifest
to the listening world that it was for
the avowed purpose of completely
eradicating the greatest anachronism
of the 20tb century, the Russian Czar
ism, the alleged peace disturber in Eu
rope. France, as Russia's political
ally, was expected to assist Russia,
but she did not show much enthusiasm
in the matter and made no aggressive
move. On the contrary, France with
drew all her troors from her eastern
frontier ten kilomei.'rs so as to give
Germsny no cause for attsrk. Yet on
the 3rd day of Augut the sublime Wil
helm also declared war on France, not
a war of defence, aa was generally ex
pected and which niiht have been eas
ily effected, but war that waa and is
aimed to crush Frai.ce forever.
The biggest and most ferocious Dart
of the great German war machine was
rushed to the little weak Belgium,
because over the ruins of that country
lay the nearest way to I'aiis. and this
atrocious crime was done in spite of
the fact that Germany was one of the
signatory powers who had guaranteed
Belgium neutrality, these facts can-
never be repeated too often, because
they must never be forgotten.
Against the Czar and Czarism Ger
many directed only the smallest and
weakest part of her armv. not onlv

And now the ugly near is pawing awav
great pieces both of the German and
Austrian empires and the hordes of the

masses towards tr.e west, tiow far
this so called scourge of the world will
go before stopped no one at the present
can tell.
One of Berlin's most influential news
papers stated the other day that the
final aim of Germany now was, first
totally to crush France, next to incor-
Fiorate Belgium in the empire as crown
and, then to compel Holland to join
the German federation; this done the
knife would be drawn across the throat
of England and the imperial knife of
German always cuts to the bone. That
is the way Wilhelm, the peacemaker.
eradicates Czariam in Russia.
The North Sea is strewn with float
ing mines which German fishing steam
ers have sown broadcast. Only one
small English cruiser has been de
stroyed by the agency of these mines
and that happened the sceond day after
war was declared. Since that time
considerable more than a score of neut
ral nations' cargo boats have been de
stroyed by these mines and many inno
cent lives lost.
At first the German newsnaDers of
ficially denied the charge that Germany
used methods that conflicted with in
ternational and "civilized" warfare,
but since several of those German fish
ing vessels were caught red handed in
their nefarious traffic, no more denials
or protests have been heard from that
quarter. The English government has
at a great expense endeavored to sweep
the sea clear of these treacherous de
stroyers of innocent merchantmen and
over 250 bave been gathered in thus
far. Most of the sunken boats were
Scandinavians.
I haven't said anything about Aus
tria, because that country follows Ger
many's lead whether it be for good or
evil. Austria would never have dared
to deliver that fatal ultimatum to Ser
via without Germany's knowledge and
consent. Both governments were fully
cognizant of its effects and knew that
bervia (with Russia's backing) as a
free and independent country could and
would not consent to be placed politi
cally on the same level with a tribe of
wild men in the African jungle. Ger
many knew that Austria's note to
Servia was the prelude to war and
war was wanted. 1 hope they get
enough of it before this thing is set
tledbut it may go the other way.
I shall not attempt to defend the
Russian Czarism, because it is inde
fensible, but 1 will say that the Em
peror of Russia, himself, is probably as
nnocent of this war as you or I. that
weak ruler is autocrat in name only,
whereas the German Caesar, thougn
not officially called so, is an absolute
autocrat in reality when the question
of peace or war is decided.
Kussia is governed entirely by the
grand dukes and princes and their re
tainers and they constitute the Russian
war party and are the leaders of the
professional soldiery. Many fortunes
will be made in Russia during this
war. Purveyors and army contractors,
mostly to be found among the high and
mighty, will now have the opportunity
to reap a golden harvest, and of course
all those blooded parasites have fanned
the war flames in unhappy Russia.
Had Germany unleashed her fero
cious dogs of war against Russia only
philosopher might have argued that
waa the way of progress, that it was
necessary that the present generation
should suffer in order to purge and re
generate Holy Russia and clear the
way to permanent peace, liberty and
happiness for the yet unborn millions
Between the German and the Swed
ish nations there is neither hatred nor
love, but I believe it can be truthfully
said that three-fourths of the Swedish
people simply have "no use" for the
Germans or the traits lhat characterize
them in general. In a recent number
of the "Outlook" there appeared a
highly interesting article on this very
subject, written by a German-American,
in which the writer unflinchingly
dissects his countrymen's characteris
tics, both good and bad. Read it!
They are great organizers, lnderatig
ble in all their undertakings, grudging
no pains in their preparations, what
ever the purpose might be. Patriotism,
coupled with the laudable desire to
"get ahead in the world, is the solid
foundation upon which the German
character is built at the expense of the
ideal and ethical, attributes which in
progressive and democratic nations,
whether republican or monarchical, are
recognized equally as necessary for the
happiness of the masses.
Germany s and thst means the
Kaiser's ambition is not limited to
lead, but tn encompsss the world. The
hare shsdow of other nations annoys
and irritates her, there is no room in
the sun but for Germany. In short:
In all the world there ought to be only
one Kaiser, one Fatherland and one
God. Maybe this would be both ideal
and ethical. Would you like to try it?
Here in Sweden all is yet quiet. Ibe
country is, of course, prepared or pre
paring lor any eventuality. Besides
the peril which lurks all around ua on
the outside, there is an internal danger
emanating from a certain influential
military and clerical element and their
allies, the nationalists. The neutrality
which the bwedish government une
quivocally has declared to be its inten
tion to maintain at all hazards, is a
thorn in the flesh to these court mm
ions who aver that now is the time to
take revenge on the ancient foe to the
east of the Baltic. They would like to
w
draw the Swedish sword, rusty with a
hundred years of blessed peace, and
stab the ugly bear somewhere, any
where, but stab ia their Shiboleth.
Among this element the wily Kaiser,
he with the mailed fist, has for a num
ber of years had faithful retainers who
have on all possible occasions agitated
for a German-Swedish alliance. Fan
germaniam has become the watchword,
the magical spell by which the German
Nero and his bloody handed, man
butchering crew would bind the one
time warriot nation of the North to bis
skull and erosabone standard. This
alliance is necessary, they pretend, to
keep the Slav hordea from overrunning
the western countries, and to save Ger
manic civilization and culture.
Germanic civilization and culture in
deed 1 The great mass of the Scandin
avian people pray to be saved from
such civilization and culture aa the
German savages are now practicing
and spreading in poor tortured Bel
gium. You have probably read all
about it. Most likely you get it served
at your breakfast, dinner and supper
and some between meals. Does it
whet your appetite to read about be
cause the little country's neutrality
waa guaranteed only by a picee of pa
per signed by the Kaiser'a own government-how
the industrious, frugal and
peaceable Belgians are being butch
ered, their wives and children slain,
their fair and fruitful country tramped
to a mortar in their own blood, their
churches, colleges, universities, and
great libraries with tens of thousands
of the most rare books and manu
scripts and treasures of art wantonly
destroyed, their homes turned into
blackened ruins and lastly, as though
all this hellish work did not satisfy
their tormentors, they are enjoined un
der the penalty of further death and
destruction to pay 1200 million francs
tribute to these German vandals, the
20th century Huns, these fiends in'the
guise of men.
But I know the tribe the word "we"
stands for in this instance. I have
personal friends, even near relatives
among them.
I get almost beside myself with rage
when 1 think of this war, the moat
atrocious crime ever committed against
the poorest, the weakest and the lowli
est of humanity the war against the
Belgians, the destruction of an entirely
innocent nation.
We hear and read about the enthusi
asm and patriotism among the soldiers
on all sides, but 1 want to tell you that
the enthusiasm is all in the newspaper
dispatches, a clumsy attempt to hypno
tize the masses and keep them in sub
jection. Had the decision been left to
the people of the various nations
now butchering each other, 90 per cent
would have been against the war, even
in Germany.
But the war lords of the house of the
Hohenzollerns made the decision. It
makes fine sport for them In this beau
tiful fall weather; the riven of red
human blood meandering through the
lovely landscape which they are re
generating" harmonizes with the au
tumn colors, the pallid cheeks and
gurgling breaths of their millions of
lacerated and dying victims as they are
mowed down by the hundreds of thou
sands does not appall them. They are
dining und wining and banqueting each
other as the dispatches are joyfully
telling us in the palaces of the con
quered and blotted out nation.
And these same autocratic annointed
butchers of Europe are each ono call
ing on his god to witness that the
slaughter is one for the sake of down
trodden humanity in the other fel
low's realm. Each one feels certain
that God, bis god, is taking a particu

his murderous mortars and cannon with
final victory. And these are called
Christian nations I
In Swedish maritime circles England
b considerably censured for not keep
ing out of the mix up. You see, it in
terferes with the shipping on the North
Sea and that strikes a hard blow on the
pocket books of my good friends, the
sea captains and shipowners. Sympa
thies cannot be bought directly, per
haps, but we are next thing to it. ;
We have read considerable about how
public opinion in England was against
the EngliBh government for leading the
British nation Into this horrible world
fire, but such stories all emsnate from
Germany and are 99 per cent pure fic
tion. A short time ago the English labor
unions in a manifesto to their members
closed with these significant words:
"Upon the isBue of this frightful con
flict depends whether we shall be able
to maintain a democratic government
and democratic institutions in Europe
or fall back into despotic militarism.
Ihe same cry is heard also from the
abor leaders in France and Belgium.
This proves that more than war they
dread the deadening and soul murder
ing system of the mailed fist. If
tenth part of German militarism was
applied in the American army, navy
and Btate militia the people would rise
n rebellion as one man. From the
German side the bitter hatred towards
England is increasing from day to day
because the Germans feel instinctively
that that country is an enemy far more
dangerous that France. That this bit
terness is reciprocated in England can
not be denied. These anti-German
feelings have their root in that notori
ous and ill advised telegram which
the Kaiser,, sent to Kruger during the
Boer war. ihe Kaiser in this telegram
gave openly and arrogantly both com
fort and encouragement to the enemy
of England, hoping the Boers would
soon be able to drive their English op
pressors out of the country. Had not
KuBsia ' about that time put a damper
on the blustering Kaiser'a ardor Ger
many would surely have gone to the
Boers' assistance with all her might.
You see, Germany at that time was
not what she is today, or she would
have struck anyway.dunder und blixenl
England has long been convinced
that had Gearmny at the outbreak of
the Boer war had a strong fleet, a navy
such as she is aiming to build, she
would not have hesitated to lend the
old autocratic Kruger a helping hand.
After England had declared war the
German newspapers sneered and scoffed
at the English, calling say they were
nothing but a nation of shoo keepers.
that the so-called English army wasn't
worth transporting across the channel
True, England is not and has not been
a military state since the time the op
Dressive hands of the Stuarts were for
ever laid low. In England there ia an
unconquerable aversion for militarism
and all the abominable things and con
ditions that follow. For this trait in
the English character may the free and
liberty loving sons of old Albion for
ever be honored. England hsa more
than once ssved Europe from being
conquered by one nation.
While today political freedom and
self government are not much more
than empty phraBes lor the most of the
European nations the people of Great
Britain have for more than two centur
ies enjoyed these blessings to the full
est extent. The English parliamentary
and representative system is the proto
type after which all other European
governments are more or less pat
terned, with the exception of the Swed
ish Riksdag, which ia about synhronal
with the establishment of the English
parliment.
