Excerpt from The War, Its Causes and Issues: Three Addresses Given in Sheffield on Aug; 31, Sept; 1, and Sept; 2, 1914
We are now engaged with a power greater than the Spain of Philip II, greater than the Holland of Ruyter and Tromp, greater even than the Empires of Louis XIV and Napoleon and when I say that Germany is greater than any of these powers, I am not merely thinking of material greatness, of the strength of the German army and navy, and of the tremendous equip ment of deadly weapons which German policy has accumulated for the terror of mankind; I am thinking of social and moral factors as well, of the burning patriotism of the Germans, of their devotion to duty, of their wholesome family life, of the undeviating and concentrated purpose which informs their political action, of their exact aptitude for business, of the great imaginative and artistic powers which for three centuries have given them the unchallenged mastery in the domain of European music, of the disinterested love of knowledge which has earned for German Universities the respect of the whole learned world.
