Excerpt from The Unspeakable Prussian And now, within an incredibly brief space Of time, all this is Changed. It is not only her foes who spurn Germany. The most severely neutral Powers shrink from her. She is a pariah among the nations, whose 'very name is as a hissing and a reproach. NO such dramatically startling change has ever reversed the judgment of mankind. But yesterday and Germany's very detractors gave her ungrudging respect; to-day her best friends draw back at the Spectacle which she presents. From the villages of India, through the bazaars of Cairo, on across Europe, over the Atlantic, and through the packed Cities of America down to the slopes of the Pacific, she has sent a shudder through the consciousness Of mankind, and every race and every nation stands aghast at the monster who has dethroned herself.
