Europe from thee received a soul,
Whence nations moved in law, like men,

Germany Will End the War

Only When a Peace Treaty Shall Assure Her Power

By Maximilian Harden

Maximilian Harden, who in the following article sets forth the
ends which Germany is striving to accomplish in the war, is
the George Bernard Shaw of Germany. He is considered the
leading German editor and an expert in Germany on foreign
politics. As editor and proprietor of Die Zukunft, his fiery,
brooding spirit and keen insight and wit, coupled with powers
of satire and caricature, made him a solitary and striking
independent figure in the German press years before the other
newspapers of Germany dared to criticise or attack the
Government or the persons at the head of it.

After the dismissal of Prince Bismarck by the present Kaiser,
Harden not only saw, but constantly and audaciously
criticised, the weaknesses in the character of the Emperor.
For this dangerous undertaking he was three times brought to
trial for lese majeste, and spent a year as a prisoner in a
Prussian fortress. In 1907 he figured in a libel suit brought
by General Kuno von Moltke, late Military Governor of Berlin,
who, together with Count Zu Eulenburg and Count Wilhelm von
Hohenau, one of the Emperor's Adjutants, had been mentioned by
Harden in his paper as members of the so-called Camarilla or
"Round Table" that sought to influence the Emperor's political
actions by subtle manipulations. He was sentenced to four
months' imprisonment, but appealed the case, and was let off
two years later with a fine of $150.

translated the German New Vorker Revue carefully disclaimed
any agreement with the sentiments therein expressed by Harden,
which, it pointed out, must be regarded only as typical of
German public opinion as is George Bernard Shaw of public
opinion in England.

The scorners of war, the blonde, black, and gray children who have been
defiling his name with syrupy tongues of lofty humanity and with
slanderous scoldings, all have become silent. Or else they snort
soldiers' songs; annihilate in confused little essays th
