Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German-Americans and the European War: A Reply to Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard and Others We all know how this feeling was intensified at the out break of the war, and how everybody who refused to align him self on the side of the allies was assailed with a fury that at times appeared almost irrational. It has not abated, on the contrary it seeins to be stronger and fiercer than ever. The time has arrived when a comprehensive reply to the charges uttered should be made. If I'call my attempt to formulate such a reply an answer to Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard and others, I do this because Mr, Villard has in the form of a lecture before the Laurel Hill Association of Stockbridge collected all the accusa tions made against the naturalized citizens, especially the German Americans, and presented a formidable appearing indictment. Taking this document as the basis for my reply, I am given the opportunity to take the charges up point by point. In addition, Mr. Villard lays stress upon the fact that he was born upon German soil of a German father, and he uses these facts in con nection with the wellflknown friendship existing between his father and the late Carl Schurz to create the impression that he is especially fitted to speak on the attitude of the American citizen of German nativity or descent. I deny'this claim most emphatically, for while it is true that Mr. Villard's father was a German, and he himself was partly educated in Germany and speaks the German language, it is an undeniable fact that his viewpoint is distinctly English, that his knowledge of Germanhis-tory is deficient, and his insight into German conditions and the German spirit is badly warped by prejudice and passion. As to myself, I came to the United States nearly forty years ago, am a citizen since 1884 and have ever tried to be loyal and of service to this republic. I have frequently been at odds with other german-americans because I opposed actions which in my opinion might produce antagonism between the German element and the rest of the people. Perhaps the fact that many years of my life were devoted to an honest effort to bring about a. Better understanding between the American and the German people, gives me a certain right to make this reply, However, I speak for myself, have no mandate from any organization or any large number of my countrymen, and say what follows solely because I believe that somebody should publicly resent the insults showered upon us. If we cannot convince our enemies that they wrong us and are serving their country whose welfare they have constantly on the tips of their tongues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America and the Great War for Humanity and Freedom I shall also attempt to Show how crucial was the situation in Europe at the psychological moment of our declara tion of war, and how truly at that time the fate of humanity seemed to be hanging upon our decision and our action; and how momentous for ourselves and for others was the action of our government in accepting the hostile challenge of the German Empire. Concerning the magnitude of the theme there can be no question. The war which was begun by the Teutonic powers in the summer of 1914 brought the world face to face with what is probably the greatest crisis in its whole history. We might compare it with the Punic wars, which decided whether Rome or Carthage should rule the Medi terranean and its shores; with the Greek and Persian wars, which determined whether European or Asiatic civilization should be dominant; with the Fall of Rome; with the Mohammedan conquests and the Crusades; with the Napo leonio wars. But not one of these approximated the physical magnitude of this War of the Nations, or its moral and Spiritual importance to the future of the whole human race. For the first time in our history, all the highest material and intellectual resources of civilization are arrayed in an effort to subvert and to destroy the moral and spiritual fruits of human progress. The drunken helot of Sparta is invested with all the arts of Athens. To such a con ict are we called, to declare, as truly as in 1776, that states and peoples have a right to independent government of their own choice; and to see to it, as truly as in 1863, that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Traits: From the Point of View of a German The following essays are not scholarly studies, but light sketches drawn in leisure hours by a German who has pitched his tent among the Americans and become interested in the differences between the Americans and the Germans. But my interest in that contrast is not merely a theoretical one: I believe that these two nations can and ought to learn from each other, and that in this case even the protectionists of national civilization ought not to favor a prohibitive tariff on foreign ideals. Such mutual instruction has been hindered by prejudices and misunderstandings: the two nations do not know each other sufficiently, although they are connected by innumerable ties from the past and will need each other's good will still more in the years to come. To root out such prejudices and to facilitate mutual benefit, it becomes a duty to measure critically the culture of the one country by the ideals of the other.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A German-American's Confession of Faith In view of the bitter and ill informed criticism which my stand during the present war has evoked from many Germans and German-Americans, I think it a duty both to myself and to the cause which I represent to bring together at least some of the documents in which my course of action is contained. They consist of articles and other kinds of contributions to various magazines and newspapers between October 1914 and May 1915, dealing successively with the following topics: the moral and spiritual forces of contemporary Germany, the question of American neutrality, the duties of German-Americans both toward the land of their fathers and their adopted country, the mission of America for the peace of Europe. Slight as are these contributions to the literature of the great world conflict that engulfs us, they are at least inspired by the endeavor to be loyal to obligations old and new.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The German-American Plot, the Record of a Great Failure: The Campaign to Capture the Sympathy and Support of the United States ON November 6, 1914, at the end of eight weeks spent in the United States immediately after the outbreak of the war, it was my privilege to describe before the festive spirits who comprise the American Luncheon Club of London some aspects of the world crisis on the peaceful side of the globe. My little talk ended as follows: Knowing Germany as I do; knowing her plans, her strength, and her ambitions, I have more than once uttered to myself during the last three months a silent prayer than some contingency might arise whereby we of the United States could wade into this fight for I am as convinced as I am that we are gathered here to-day that the vital interests of America are bound up with the cause of the fighting Allies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our War With Germany: A History The participation of the United States in the great war is one of the rare historical events that give direction to the prog ress of the world. The self-governing states of Europe were struggling for life and the greatest republic in the world went to their assistance at the critical moment. A century ago the American people first proved that republican government can succeed in a first rate nation. It was as fitting as essential that they should have interfered to preserve it in time of danger. It is in this sense that the future historian will make up his opinion of our part in the great struggle. When the passions of the day subside, the American people will come to this view of the subject. They will not ask very closely about the errors committed in the conduct of the war, but they will wish to know what the world crisis was, how the nation as a nation met it, and how the people now living adjusted themselves to the problems growing out of the war when it was won.

Download or read book The Last Battle written by Cornelius Ryan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-02-16 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic account of the final offensive against Hitler’s Third Reich. The Battle for Berlin was the culminating struggle of World War II in the European theater, the last offensive against Hitler’s Third Reich, which devastated one of Europe’s historic capitals and marked the final defeat of Nazi Germany. It was also one of the war’s bloodiest and most pivotal battles, whose outcome would shape international politics for decades to come. The Last Battle is Cornelius Ryan’s compelling account of this final battle, a story of brutal extremes, of stunning military triumph alongside the stark conditions that the civilians of Berlin experienced in the face of the Allied assault. As always, Ryan delves beneath the military and political forces that were dictating events to explore the more immediate imperatives of survival, where, as the author describes it, “to eat had become more important than to love, to burrow more dignified than to fight, to exist more militarily correct than to win.” The Last Battle is the story of ordinary people, both soldiers and civilians, caught up in the despair, frustration, and terror of defeat. It is history at its best, a masterful illumination of the effects of war on the lives of individuals, and one of the enduring works on World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany and the United States To be a patriotic American citizen is to be also a friend to democracy and humanity, as well as a strong peace advocate. All such citizens are standing firmly with Pres ident Wilson in the controversy with Germany and thor oughly approve of his demand that she show some respect for international law, cease her attacks on peaceful mer chant vessels and quit assassinating American citizens. It is thought that the crisis that arose over the de struction of the Arabic has passed and there will be a satisfactory settlement of it. The German embassador at Washington has assured the United States government that no more such outrages will occur. If Germany really means to comply with President Wilson's demand, it marks a radical change in the meth ods and conduct of her submarine warfare against Eng land, neutral commerce and against humanity. Her war on the sea, however, differs not at all from her war on land and in the air. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
