171. The French soldiers thought they were only going to manoeuvres. Not until they were face to face with the enemy, had come under the fire of our rifles and seen our bayonets, did they find out that they had been deceived, that they had been lied into the war.--"War Devotions," by PASTOR J. RUMP, quoted in H. & H., p. 126. 172. What homage does not the stupid world pay to Carnegie; and now we learn that, through his endowments for professors and students, he has enslaved the universities, imposing upon them hard-and-fast doctrines, as, for example, the worship of England and hostility to Germany.--H.S. CHAMBERLAIN, P.I., p. 56. 173. When we [in 1870-71] bombarded the fortress of Paris, that was an outrage upon a sacred spot. But when the English battered to the ground the defenceless Alexandria[20]--that was of course quite in order.--PROF. U. v. WILAMOWITZ-MOeLLENDORF, R., pt. i., p. 27. 173a. When our Zeppelins drop bombs on the fortress of Antwerp, there are loud protests. But how have not French prisoners boasted of the burning by their bombs of the open city of Nuernberg. The will was there; only the power was lacking.[21]--PROF. U. V. WILAMOWITZ-MOeLLENDORF, R., pt. i., p. 27. =German Insight and Foresight.= (BEFORE THE WAR.) 174. [Of the "militia" of the British self-governing Dominions.] They can be completely ignored so far as concerns any European theatre of war. [Of the British Territorial Army.] For a Continental European war it may be left out of account.--GENERAL v. BERNHARDI, G.N.W., p. 135. 175. As soon as we have won our first victory, we may be sure that Italy will unconditionally accord us her armed cooperation.--K. V. STRANTZ, E.S.V., p. 21. 176. If, in case of war, England should join the Dual Alliance against us, our military position will be in no way prejudiced, if we, on our side, take care to kindle fires at the points where her world-power is threatened. In that case, too, oversea prizes beckon us on, which will be well worth the winning.--K. v. STRANTZ, E.S.V., p. 39. 177. I do not at all believe that Zeppelins have anything to fear from aeroplanes, as their critics assert.--A. WIRTH, T.O.D., p. 52. (AFTER JULY, 1914.) 178. The far-seeing English politician expects the present war greatly to improve the position of England as against the United States. Any injury that England may conceivably inflict on its best customer, Germany ... will be as nothing in comparison with the direct and indirect losses the war must inflict on America.--DR. A. ZIMMERMANN, quoted by P. HEINSICK, W.U.G., p. 21. 179. There can be no possible doubt that England, in secret, heartily rejoices in every Russian defeat.--P. HEINSICK, W.U.G., p. 21. =German Freedom.= (AFTER JULY, 1914.) 180. An un-German freedom is no freedom.--H.S. CHAMBERLAIN, K.A., p. 21. 180a. Germany has been for centuries the true and only home of a freedom worthy of humanity and elevating to humanity.--H.S. CHAMBERLAIN, K.A., p. 15.
