IN the summer of 1902 the writer of these lines made a
journey to Charlottenburg, to see one of his old and most

from the great scholar concerning the problem of the world's

United States, the three great Teutonic nations, were indispen-

and near, wherever and whenever occasion will permit. When
asked if his view was concurred in by Germany's leading men,
he answered unhesitatingly in the affirmative.
It would be too much to say that this exhortation, though com-
