Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About Germany I have come back from Germany believing that the Germans are better losers than could have been credited in advance or is realised now by those who have not taken the necessary pains to inform themselves. Nor IS this unnatural for human nature bears adversity better than prosperity, and endurance is distinctively a virtue of the German. The Germans distinguish between the territorial victory which the French have won over them, and our victory, which, for want of a better word, I shallcall moral. With the French, their age-old enemies of alien race and qualities, the Germans have often quarrelled about the buffer-lands between the two countries. With ourselves, whom they thought nearer them in nature, they fought fora mastery which, again, I shall call moral. They seem to me to realise their failure and the collapse of their gigantic effort to win world leadership, which has brought them loss and suffering and despair, has opened their eyes to many things. They realise, as never before, the elements of superiority in British life and character. It is not unfair to say that in the Great War our own Overseas Dominions and the United States rediscovered Britain for themselves. So have the Germans done. I found many Germans ready to admit that German nerves are inferior to British, and that life in this country distils somehow a something which makes for victory in the supreme encounters. On the political side they see how' much wiser was Bismarck's policy of maintaining good relations with Britain and Russia than the Haunting provocations of William II. Their experiments in free constitutional government have the hearty backing of most of the nation it is only a minority, of uncertain size, that wishes to go back to the old regime under which the Kaiser, the General Staff of the Army, and the bureaucracy ruled, while the Reichstag provided the decorative exterior of Government. The new experiment is conducted under difficulties. One of these difficulties is that Britain, the home of the Parliamentary principle, views the experiment somewhat sceptically, whereas the Germans, very earnest in the matter, and, perhaps, a little na'r've, had hoped for her benevolence and encouragement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About Germany: Facts About the War Try to realise, every one of you, what we are going through! Only a few weeks ago, all of us were peacefully following our several vocations. The peasant was gathering in this summer's plentiful crop, the factory hand was working with accustomed vigour. Not one human being amongst us dreamt of war. We are a nation that wishes to lead a quiet and industrious life. This need hardly be stated to you Americans. You, of all others, know the temper of the German who lives within your gates. Our love of peace is so strong that it is not regarded by us in the light of a virtue, we simply know it to be an inborn and integral portion of ourselves. Since the foundation of the German Empire in the year 1871, we, living in the centre of Europe, have given an example of tranquillity and peace, never once seeking to profit by any momentary difficulties of our neighbours. Our commercial extension, our financial rise in the world, is far removed from any love of adventure, it is the fruit of painstaking and plodding labour. We are not credited with this temper, because we are insufficiently known. Our situation and our way of thinking is not easily grasped. Every one is aware that we have produced great philosophers and poets, we have preached the gospel of humanity with impassioned zeal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Life in Germany Germans often maintain that their country is more diverse than any other, and on that account more difficult to describe: a country Of many races and various rules held loosely together by language and more tightly of late years by the bond Of empire. But the truth probably is, that in our country we see and understand varieties, while in a foreign one we chiefly perceive what is unlike ourselves and common to the people we are Observing. For from the flux and welter Of qualities that form a modern nation certain traits survive peculiar to that nation: specialities Of feature, character, and habit, some seen at first sight, others only discovered after long and intimate acquaint ance. It is undoubtedly true that no one person can be at home in every corner Of the German Empire, or of any other empire.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from German "Truth" And European Facts About the War It must not be supposed that we are satisfied of the existence of any francs-theme in Belgium, nor can we accept in its full extent the German View that, on pain of death, no man without a uniform may defend his own house or his own wife and children. We have thought it needless to enter on controvertible points. As to the charges of wanton cruelty towards Germans in Bel gian cities in the first days of war, we shall only say that, as made, they are too vague to be examined, and nothing has been heard of them in Europe so far as we know. If they were true, they would not justify or excuse retaliation in cold blood. All the world knows what has been reported from the smaller places captured and occupied by German soldiery. We hope, for the credit of humanity, that much of it will prove to be false or exaggerated. But, in face of the serious attitude of the Belgian Government, we cannot assume that all German hands are clean.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About Germany: With Reports of 420 British Working Men I took out ten parties, consisting of 500 men, and each tour lasted 10 or 12 days, during which time the parties visited different industrial centres in Germany and Belgium. The delegates were drawn from all parts of England and \vales, and so far as political persuasions were concerned, 75 per cent. Were Radical and Socialist Free Traders. On their return from each tour, a Committee of the delegates was selected, who drew up a report which was signed in each case practically unanimously. The first party, consisting of 64 delegates. Was not asked to draw up a joint report, but send individual reports, which were published in a separate volume some time ago; therefore the reports now are from 9 delegations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of Germany I have not ventured this volume without a pur pose. After several years' residence in Germany, I returned home and was surprised to find how little people in, general knew of German life. A vague idea of beer-drinking students thick-headed emigrant peasants, metaphysics and philosophy no one can understand, with a cloud of pipe-smoke enveloping the whole, seemed tome the received impression of a people, who yearly have been pouring into our land, bringing with them their thrift and talent. That there be truth in the general conception no one can deny, but that all the sweet amenities of life spring up in its domestic relations, that there is a charm living in a country where every rood of land teems with poetry and historic lore, does not re quire me to tell. That the constancy of their affec tions and the goodness of their nature commands our respect, has so impressed me, that I have ventured to print my rambling thoughts. So many of my country-women are finding their way to Germany, perhaps a few remarks by one of their kind may prove useful. I do not pretend to convey anything but passing impressions, but such as they are, they may awaken in some a wish, as one of their own writers has beautifully expressed it: To lift the veil that shrouds this romantic land, or it may give some idea of common life as they will find it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germany and the Prussian Spirit Like John Bull or Uncle Sam, these two German figures are, of course, merely the rough types of popular carica ture; but like all such types they represent an instinctive popular judgment which is seldom very much astray. In the case of Germany, as in other cases, the two figures are founded on broad truth, and they epitomize together in a very Significant way the origin and character of the new German Empire. The transformation of the one into the other is one of the most remarkable events in history. Even so Faust, calling in a dangerous doctor for the trouble of his soul, abandons his study, his books, his tubes and retorts, his doctor's gown, in order to live the worldly life he has hitherto despised.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Is Wrong With Germany? Clear proof of urgency is obligatory on anyone who ventures to add to the abundant literature which has been called forth already in this country by the European War. In justification of the present book I would rely less upon the strong feeling of compulsion which has prompted it than upon the fact that it is the outcome of an honest endeavour to get behind the visible and more obvious causes of the war and to bring to light the tendencies of national thought and policy - the caus causantes - which had long been leading Germany directly towards this dismal catastrophe. It will be seen that in pursuing my inquiries I have been at pains to let the Germans be, as far as possible, their own critics and accusers. In placing them in the witness-box against themselves, I have relied not upon the confused and frenzied talk of the present moment, when the Germans are saying so many things that they will one day wish to forget, but upon deliberate utterances of well-known writers and public men evoked by the normal controversies of normal times and intended only for home consumption. It would have been possible to have multiplied indefinitely this self-incriminating evidence had it not seemed judicious to confine the selection to quite recent years. The book is intended, however, to serve a further object. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Book of Truth and Facts written by Fritz von Frantzius and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Truth and Facts: Facts Which Every American Should Know The purpose. Of this booklet is to enlighten the American people on conditions, not only in Germany, but also in the United States and England, and to acquaint them with German ideals, which are so grossly misunderstood in this country. There are many things which I left unsaid for some reason or other, but I venture to h0pe that this book will be read by all true Americans, and that they may glean from it valuable knowledge of facts. My main object in publishing this book is to warn the American people against the dangers menacing this country, and jeopardizing the existence of the United States of America as a free and independent country. My criticisms may sometimes appear severe, but I trust they will be accepted in the spirit in which they are offered. Few people have courage enough to come out in the open and tell the truth, as their positions in life do not permit them to do so. History shows that many men who came forward with the truth had to suffer martyrdom. I am ready to state my convictions frankly in the interest of the great cause, and to tell what others either would not say, or are debarred from saying. May this book pass from one American to another and thus contribute to strengthen the ideals of this country.

Download or read book My Four Years in Germany Classic Reprint written by James W. Gerard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Four Years in Germany I am writing what should have been the last chapter as the foreword of this series of articles, because I want to bring home to our people the gravity of the situation; because I want to tell them that the military and naval power of the German Empire is unbroken; that of the twelve million men whom the Kaiser has called to the colours but one million, five hundred thousand have been killed, five hundred thousand permanently disabled, not more than five hundred thousand are prisoners of war, and about five hundred thousand constitute the number of wounded or those on the sick list of each day, leaving at all times about nine million effectives under arms. I state these figures because Americans do not grasp either the magnitude or the importance of this war. Perhaps the statement that over five million prisoners of war are held in the various countries will bring home to Americans the enormous mass of men engaged. There have been no great losses in the German navy, and any losses of ships have been compensated for by the building of new ones.
