Excerpt from The Moral Meanings of the World War: A Sermon In nature the strongest and the most clever species of animal is best adapted for existence, hence that species survives and its competitors perish. German philosophy assumes that, among the peoples of the earth, the Germans, collectively and individually, are the strongest and' the most clever. They conclude, therefore, that the German people are the nttest to survive; and that they, therefore, have the right to exercise their higher survival qualities. That this brief summary represents the German biologic theory as applied to the present crisis may be easily proved by innumerable published and authoritative statements of their own: and the question is whether this is true and ought to be accepted by the world.
