Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Is Wrong With Germany? Yet no less amazing, and in a sense even more dis concerting, was the impressive unanimity with which the German nation promptly endorsed the Violent and lawless act of its rulers and proclaimed its refusal or in ability to see in that act a wrong as wicked as any that has ever been committed in the name of a civilized com munity. These two incidents revealed a political point Of View, a national mentality and ethic, with which the world of the twentieth century had never reckoned, and, ever since, it has been taking stock of its preconceived ideas about Germany, eager to discern, in the light of a new experience, what contribution its gifted people are making to the culture and ideals of the present day. To help towards the study of that baffling enigma the psychology of a nation is my secondary purpose in writing this volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peace With Empire: The Problem It would be out of place in these Papers to argue for either policy. One can merely point out that the ques tion is not a simple one which can be decided straight away either on a generous or an egoistic impulse. One thing, however, it seems important for our purposes to realize. If it is the satisfaction of Germany we are thinking about, that is not at all likely to be achieved by our giving back to Germany her colonial Empire as it was last July. It is a leading fact in the situation that Germany felt her colonial Empire to be far too mean for her national greatness she was tormented by the consciousness that it showed to a disadvantage beside the rival dominions of Great Britain and France. Ger many's Empire had value for her, not for what it then was, but because she saw it as the nucleus of a much vaster Empire which successful war might give her in time to come.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive Symonds, and we together examined the patients, sampled the climate and other conditions, and argued with Unger and Ruedi. Then for the second time came Hope; more solid Hope. Given a fairly early case, and three years, and recovery was in the offing. And so we went on cheerfully with Davos. But Davos was not for every one; nor was every case an early 'one. Then came the discovery that lower altitudes would do if certain conditions were obtained; and so arose the great sanatorium movement. But slowly we found that patients could not spend their lives in sanatoriums; and one day on making my way up to one of them in England, I met on the way patient after patient, slouching along, bored to death with themselves and with each other; and even worse in morale than in body. Better discipline and better notions of thera peutics mended some of that; still I could not forget those listless saunterers, and it became evident to some of us, however unwillingly, that Hope was drooping again. The sanatorium was doing a great educative work no doubt; but at the end of its four or six months - what then? To send the patient away with recommendations about light jobs, and a regime, was almost a mockery or quite. What about the wage, and the family to be supported? The next lesson was brought home to me by a visit with other commissioners to certain cities, concerning some such problems. Before me now I see a gaunt hollow-eyed man, coughing, and leaning against the wall as he tried to talk to us, saying that his mates when he came out of the sanatorium - good fellows as they were - had bought him a milk that he might creep round, and earn a bit. The brave wife, shawl on head and mill apron on, had just come from the factory, and apologised for the dirty house - as well she might. The poor thing was working all day at the factory to keep the wolf from the door. All being dragged down together into the pit! What is the value of a good house, or a clean house, if no wages! What is there for the children? And what is to stop the infection! Who then would have the imagination, the initiative, the business capacity, to lift this burden, like lifting a world?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from German Composition This book is the result of a conviction that in the study of German too little emphasis is laid on the meanings of words. When we use a wrong gender, case, or mood, Ger mans rarely misunderstand us, but when we use a wrong word, they often get no idea whatever. Emphasis, there fore, is here put on distinctions in the meanings of common words, though forms and syntax are not neglected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Germany and the Modern World The Committee of the Victoria League have asked me to write a short account of the place of Modern Germany in the Modern World, explaining how, in spite of the intellectual and other services which Germany has rendered to our present-day civilisation, Jher national policy has yet been poisoned by sinister and selfish aims. That policy has during recent years been a growing menace to the peace of Europe. It is now the open and desperate enemy of some ideas and principles which we of the British Empire hold dearer than life itself. Those who are responsible for German policy have thought it well to force on a life and death struggle between their ideals and ours. Like gamblers, they have staked all on the cast. They hoped, perhaps, that at this juncture we should stand aside. In that case they, the men responsible for German policy, planned first to crush France so mercilessly that she could never stand in their path again next, to beat back the Russian invasion, and then patch up a peace with the Slavs and finally to concentrate their stupendous power in an attack on the British Empire, bent upon breaking us and (by diplomatic pressure if possible, or, failing that, by force) lowering us into a state of vassalage to Berlin. But they miscalculated. Their reading of our character was wrong. They underrated our national spirit. They exaggerated the depth of our party divisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Germans B., like every other human being, does not carry his heart on his sleeve, and he does not turn out his household gods for the inspection of a stranger. He may be worse, and he may be a great deal better than he seems - Oi that his guest cannot judge with any certainty. Perhaps this sounds very Obvious, but it is sur prising how many people there are who would rightly hesitate to give their opinion on an acquaint ance Of a fortnight's standing, and who are yet ready not only to criticise but to condemn a whole nation on evidence stretching over an equally short period Of time, and based probably on still more superficial observation. This mistake, or whatever you please to call it, is not by any means confined to English people. I suppose it was first brought home to me by an absurd book on England, written by a German after a six weeks' sojourn in my country, during which time he had strayed from one horrible experience to another, under the impression that they were the natural and inevitable experiences Of every one. Of course one is indignant over the consequent criticisms, because they are based on - for us - Obviously false data. But we must remember that in six weeks an honest, painstaking student of national habits and customs can gather together enough perfectly genuine material on which - unless he is blessed with an extra ordinary degree Of tolerance - he will consider himself justified in founding a most condemnatory criticism. I have experienced this, alas! In my own person. A year or two ago I was travelling in England with a German friend. I had been foolish enough to boast to her about the politeness Of our policemen.
