223. Thanks to our youthfulness and our capacity of development, thanks also to our military power, many things are possible: we can create a German nation which shall number 100,000,000 inhabitants, we can become "Europe," and dominate the seas into the bargain.--D.B.B., p. 211. 223a. This Germany of ours was once the greatest of the Sea Powers, and, God willing, so she will be again.--H. v. TREITSCHKE, P., Vol. i., p. 213. 224. "_Civis Germanicus sum--ich bin ein Deutscher!_" As the free Roman, in his character of _Civis Romanus_, formerly ruled the world, so must every continental German of to-day, and of the future, rule the world in his character of _Civis Germanicus_.--J.L. REIMER, E.P.D., p. 146. =Weltmacht (World-Dominion).= (AFTER JULY, 1914.) 225. _We want no world-dominion_.... It is unjust, and therefore un-German.--PROF. W. v. BLUME, D.D.M., p. 23. 225a. Germany, as the preponderant Power in a Great-German League, will with this war attain world-supremacy.--R. THEUDEN, W.M.K.B., p. 13. 226. We _want_ no hegemony, no world-dominion!

With us shall right and morality, truth and faithfulness, win the fight against wrong and baseness, malice and falsehood.

RUMP, quoted in H.A.H., p. 128. 229. Not through a chaotic conflict of ideas, but only through unity of conviction, can a world-ruling Germany arise; and if Germany does not rule the world (I do not mean through her power alone, but through her all-sided superiority and moral weight) then she will disappear from the map; it is a case of "Either--or."--H.S. CHAMBERLAIN, P.I., p. 39. 230.

KUHN, W.U.W., p. 6.
