went to
Constantinople; he went to Tangier, after the speech at Bremen. In every
one of his words, in each of his gestures, he affirmed the subordination
of economic civilization to military civilization. He considered that it
was his duty to open up markets and assert the value of German products
with cannon and sword. Hence his formidable armaments, his perpetual
threats which held all nations in a constant state of anxiety.

There is the deep and true cause of the war. And it is due entirely to
your Emperor and his environment. We readily understand that the greater
number of "representatives of German science and art" who signed the
appeal are incapable of fathoming this fact; but this is not your case,
you who denounced the abuses and consequences of German protectionism,
and we remember that at the Antwerp Congress you agreed with us in
recognizing its aggressive nature.

In conclusion, we beg to express the deep consideration which we feel
for your science, hitherto so unerring.

*To Americans In Germany*

*By Prof. Adolf von Harnack.*

Citizens of the United States, ladies and gentlemen: It is my pleasure
and my privilege to address to you today a few words.

Let me begin with a personal recollection. Ten years ago I was in the

impression was the strongest? Not the thundering fall of Niagara, not
the wonderful entrance into New York Harbor with its skyscrapers, not
the tremendous World's Fair of St. Louis in all its proud grandeur, not
the splendid universities of Harvard and Columbia or the Congressional
Library in Washington--these are all works of technique or of nature and
cannot arouse our deepest admiration and make the deepest impression.
What was the deepest impression? It was two-fold: first, the great work
of the American Nation, and next, American hospitality.

The great work of the American Nation, that is, the nation itself! From
the smallest beginning the American Nation has in 200 years developed
itself to a world power of more than 100,000,000 souls, and has not only
settled but civilized the whole section of the world from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, from the great lakes to the West Indies. And not only
civilized: everything which has drifted to it has been welded together
by this nation with an indescribable power, welded together to the unity
of a great, noble nation of educated men--such a thing as has never
