Till that happened England didn't have an army.

But I see no human power that can give the English now what they are determined to have--safety for the future--till some radical change is made in the German system so that they will no longer have a war-party any more than England has a war-party.

England surely has no wish to make conquest of Germany.

If Germany will show that she has no wish to make conquest of England, the war would end to-morrow.
What impresses me through it all is the backwardness of all the Old World in realizing the true aims of government and the true methods.

I can't see why any man who has hope for the progress of mankind should care to live anywhere in Europe.
