Excerpt from The American Verdict on the War: A Reply to the Manifesto of the German Professors Need I say more to prove to you how deep is the sym pathy, affection and gratitude which I and all my country men cherish towards the people of the German Empire? Need I say how our hearts bleed for them in this time of dreadful calamity, or how much we hope and pray that peace may soon return to the troubled bosom of the Father land? Why, the very texture of our nation would make us true to Germany in all her moral rights, because we have at this moment eight million people of German birth or German parentage in our population, and these citizens are among the very best in this country. Therefore, in a peculiar sense, we hold Germany in our heart of hearts, for she is bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. But in the same way we cherish the people of all other races, ex cept, alas, those from Asia, and one day, in God's own time, we shall grow big enough in a spiritual sense to te ceive the children of Asia with equal hospitality. But we are a cosmopolite nation, and besides having those eight million Germans we have absorbed thirteen millions from Great Britain, from France, from Russia, from Austria, from the Balkans, and' 100, 000 from Belgium. All told we have of foreign birth and foreign parentage in our population. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
