Excerpt from Great Britain and the Next War It still seems to me that this reasoning is sound. I still think that it would be an in sane action for Germany deliberately to plan an attack upon Great Britain. But uh fortunately ah attack delivered from mis taken motives is as damaging as any other attack, and the mischief is done before the in sanity of it is realized. If I now believe such an attack to be possible, and it may be im minent, it is because I have been studying Germany and the Next War, by General von Bernhardi. A book written by such a man cannot be set aside as the mere ravings of a Pan Germanic Anglophobe. So far as appears, he is not a pan-german at all. There is no allusion to that Germania in ea'mte which is the dream of the party. He is a man of note, and the first living authority in Ger many upon some matters of military science. Does he carry the same weight when he writes of international politics and the actual use of those mighty forces which he has helped to form? We will hope not. But when a man speaks with the highest authority upon one subject, his voice cannot be entirely disregarded upon a kindred one.
