39893 | CONTENTS PREFACE v OUR GREAT OBSESSION xiii I DANGEROUS PREACHMENTS 1 II CAN LAW BE SUBSTITUTED FOR WAR? |
39893 | Can Law Be Substituted for War? |
39893 | Can we not afford, however, to spend dollars instead of men to kill our enemies? |
39893 | Could anything be more likely than that foreign Powers should possess the sagacity to grasp such an opportunity to weaken our defenses? |
39893 | Dangerous Criminal Class, A? |
39893 | Droll, is n''t it, that the nations keep right on fighting? |
39893 | Has human nature improved so much lately that special privilege will no longer result from special power? |
39893 | Here, the question naturally arises: How would they be able to get past our coast fortifications? |
39893 | His next consideration is:"Where does the party come in?" |
39893 | How could we flee? |
39893 | How much their intellectual and moral stature was shrunken by that debauchery of crime, who can say? |

39893 | Is War Now Possible?" |
39893 | Is it possible to prescribe a remedy for war? |

39893 | S. Bloch,"The Future of War,"1899._"What shall we say of the Great War of Europe ever threatening, ever impending, and which never comes? |

39893 | What could we do? |
39893 | What defense has the average person against being convinced by such sophistry, coming from so eminent a psychologist and philosopher as William James? |
39893 | What would have been the result? |

39893 | Where could we flee? |
39893 | Where now is the bestiality and horror? |
39893 | Why are we not equally interested in preventing the tremendous loss of life from easily preventable railroad disasters? |
39893 | Why does the front line lie down so suddenly, with a few left standing? |
39893 | Why should they worry? |
39893 | Will arbitration be able to place all peoples upon a plane of equality? |
39893 | Will it be able to secure to all, even the meanest, equal rights to enjoyment of property, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? |
39893 | Will the Victors of the Great War apply the match? |
39893 | Will you continue to think thoughts and speak words which may drive him to that awful death? |
39893 | but what can we afford to spend for efficiency? |

36155 | ''But you do n''t want my friend, do you-- he lives out the other way?'' 36155 ''Do I know what those explosions were?'' |

36155 | ''Indeed, Herr Hauptman?'' 36155 ''My Volunteers? |
36155 | ''Then the Germans will have arrived there?'' 36155 ''Was it in connection with the skirmish with the Volunteers?'' |
36155 | ''Where is our Army?'' 36155 ''Who on earth are those fellows?'' |

36155 | Have you tried to get on to Cromer by the other routes-- through Nottingham and King''s Lynn, or through Cambridge? |
36155 | I suppose you had the same trouble to get that Yarmouth story through? |
36155 | I suppose you''ll go at once, Taylor, and make inquiries? |
36155 | Is it possible that Von Kronhelm''s strategy is to remain inactive, and refuse to fight? 36155 Is it possible that there has been a great earthquake?" |
36155 | Is that all? |
36155 | Telegraph or telephone? |
36155 | What cables run out from the east coast in that neighbourhood? |
36155 | What do you say, Beccles? 36155 What will the morrow bring us? |
36155 | Yes-- funny, was n''t it? |
36155 | You could get through to some of the places-- Yarmouth, for instance-- by telegraphing to the Continent, I suppose? |
36155 | You intend to arrest me? |
36155 | ''And may I inquire in what way I have incurred the displeasure of the Hochwohlgeboren officer?'' |
36155 | ''And what are you doing down here?'' |

36155 | ''What the dickens does he say?'' |
36155 | ''What''s that?'' |
36155 | ''Why did you allow the Volunteers to come out?'' |
36155 | = GOD SAVE THE KING.="''Do we look so very dangerous, Herr Lieutenant?'' |
36155 | Besides, look here,''he added,''what do you think that battalion was sent to Wickham Bishops for this morning?'' |
36155 | Besides, where is our fleet?" |
36155 | But could it be held? |
36155 | Could England regain her command of the sea in time to prevent the completion of the blow? |
36155 | Could he be some fellow trying to take a rise out of me by masquerading as a German officer? |
36155 | Could the journalist''s story be true? |
36155 | Did they all break down together?" |
36155 | Did you put it on the contents- bill?" |
36155 | Dire punishment-- or desperate victory?" |
36155 | Even if peace be declared, can London ever recover from this present wreck? |
36155 | Fergusson?" |
36155 | How can I describe the awful scenes of panic, bloodshed, patriotism, brutality, and vengeance that are at this moment in progress? |
36155 | How long will this awful state of affairs last? |
36155 | If she had risked three or four, out of her twenty- three, army corps, and had aimed at the heart of the British Empire? |
36155 | If the blow had really been struck by Germany? |
36155 | In the meantime, could I write here for an hour or two?'' |
36155 | May I answer him?'' |
36155 | On every hand it is asked:''What will London do?''" |
36155 | Or is it that he intends to sue for peace at any price? |
36155 | Shall we acknowledge ourselves conquered in this the twentieth century?" |
36155 | WILL YOU BECOME GERMANS? |
36155 | WILL YOU REMAIN IN COWARDLY INACTIVITY? |
36155 | Was it possible that the men were cutting the wires, instead of repairing them? |
36155 | Was it the truth, or was it only a hoax? |
36155 | Was that prophecy to be fulfilled? |
36155 | What had happened? |
36155 | What then? |
36155 | What was now to happen? |
36155 | What was the Government doing? |
36155 | What will be its sequel?" |
36155 | What wonder, then, that I reported satisfactory progress, and reckoned-- too confidently, as it proved-- on a victory for the morrow? |
36155 | What would happen? |
36155 | When would it end? |
36155 | Where would it end? |
36155 | Why do you allow your miserable Volunteers to come out and shoot my men?'' |
36155 | Why not look in there before we go home? |
36155 | Would they reach it? |
36155 | Yet what could they do if the Germans swept into London? |
36155 | You''ve never had a complete breakdown like this before?" |
36155 | are you going to fire?'' |
36155 | he shouted;"who will follow me?" |
36155 | what then? |
38288 | _ Why?_some one asks. |
38288 | But what would we transport them in? |
38288 | But where shall they go? |
38288 | CONTENTS CHAPTER I Page SHALL THERE BE AN END OF WAR? |
38288 | Do not these domestic enemies constitute a more immediate danger than any foreign enemy? |

38288 | How long would it take Japan to put a million colonists-- men of military age-- on the Pacific Coast of Mexico? |
38288 | How many would then have believed possible the work of the Aëroplane Service in the present war? |
38288 | If England can not protect two hundred miles of seacoast from the raids of German battleships, can we protect two thousand miles? |
38288 | If Japan should land an army on the Pacific Coast would we leave it to future generations to defend us against that invasion? |
38288 | Is it any too soon for this nation to begin right now to build the safeguards against that danger? |
38288 | Is it not an undertaking large enough to arouse and inspire the whole people of this great nation to demand its accomplishment? |
38288 | Is not that a national work that is worth doing? |
38288 | Is not that the right sort of national defense? |
38288 | Is there no glory to be won, that will stir heart and brain to supreme effort, except by causing human agony and devastation? |
38288 | Is there no higher service to their country to which women can give their men than to die fighting to kill the men of other women? |
38288 | Is there no inspiration to patriotism that will move the people to action but the death combat? |
38288 | Is there nothing else that will bring out the best there is in men but the stimulus of war, and its demands for sacrifice, even of life itself? |
38288 | Must every home remain liable to be ruined and destroyed by the fires of war? |

38288 | _ Is it not evident that it is the economic potentialities of the Japanese race that we must meet?_ We can do it in the Colorado River Country. |
38288 | _ Let the Speculators have their way and what will happen?_ Already the inconceivable fertility of this region is known to the Japanese. |
38288 | _ Shall they go to Manchuria?_ Yes, to some extent, but the great body of the overflowing population of Japan will not go to Manchuria. |
38288 | _ To South America?_ Yes, to its northern shores bordering the Pacific, to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, more particularly to Peru. |
38288 | _ To the Philippines?_ There you project a controversy even by discussion. |
38288 | _ What are we going to do about it?_ That is the question that stares every citizen of the United States straight in the face. |
40479 | Any one from Frankfort amongst you? |
40479 | Are n''t there any other Americans in the Legion? |
40479 | Are you a young soldier? |
40479 | Bertillon? |
40479 | Blues? |
40479 | Curse it, what shall I do then? |
40479 | Do you actually believe this yarn? |
40479 | Eh, enter la Légion? |
40479 | Grand, ai n''t it? |
40479 | Have you any personal papers? |
40479 | Have you tried the Legion''s tobacco yet? |
40479 | How are you? 40479 How much?" |
40479 | Is the légionnaire Rosen here? |
40479 | Me? |
40479 | Merde? |
40479 | Merde? |
40479 | Profession? |
40479 | Really not? |
40479 | So you''re American? |
40479 | States? |
40479 | Talk U.S.? |
40479 | Tobacco- pouch-- an Arab woman''s breast-- my God, what is the meaning of this? |
40479 | Very like-- n''est- ce pas? |
40479 | Well, my son,I said lovingly,"wo n''t you please take a look at these eight comrades of mine? |
40479 | What d''you say? |
40479 | What did_ you_ come here for? |
40479 | What do you think you know about it? |
40479 | What in hell are you doing in the eleventh then? |
40479 | What is he locked up for? |
40479 | What is the reason of your simulating? |
40479 | What''s wrong? |
40479 | Who is it? |
40479 | Why are we called blues? |
40479 | Why did n''t you stay in Munich and stick to the beer, eh? 40479 Why do you want my clothes?" |
40479 | Wo n''t you give me your suit of clothes? 40479 You did n''t come to the Legion because you had too much money, did you?" |
40479 | You do n''t? 40479 You seem to be German?" |
40479 | You''re from the tenth company? |
40479 | You''ve a letter for me, corporal? |
40479 | Your name is Schneider? |
40479 | Your name, please? |
40479 | Your shoulders have been drilled into shape somewhere? |
40479 | A letter-- a letter for me? |
40479 | After a while he asked:"And is there really nothing left?" |
40479 | Amongst beautiful things of art? |
40479 | And the beggar of a horse did run, I can tell you-- and I behind it-- because I was tied to its tail, see?" |
40479 | And what is the end of it all? |
40479 | And why not? |
40479 | At last the captain in the thick of the firing called out to his men:"Are there any doctors among you?" |
40479 | Boys, if only they have such a thing as beer and kümmel down there!--Say, old fellow( he turned to me) what do you think about this French absinthe?" |
40479 | Chose-- n''est- ce pas? |
40479 | Civilian clothes?" |
40479 | Could he do it? |
40479 | D''you think they''ll take me...?" |
40479 | Did I know that the price of a"litre,"of a full quart, was but four sous even up here on the hills? |
40479 | Did I like the Algerian wine? |
40479 | Do you know what I caught? |
40479 | Do you suppose that my bunk''s a manoeuvring- ground for dirty recruits?" |
40479 | Five francs would do, and what are measly five francs anyway, if they are the means of saving you from prison?" |
40479 | Had I not the same right as these other poor devils to go to perdition in my own way? |
40479 | Had n''t enough to eat, eh?" |
40479 | Have you anything particular to tell me?" |
40479 | Have you forgotten our five centimes, légionnaire? |
40479 | He looked at me for a moment, and then said contemptuously:"What do you know about opiates? |
40479 | He was in high debate with another Bavarian légionnaire...."You''re from Munich, you fool? |
40479 | He''s a pretty hard case, ai n''t you, Blacky?" |
40479 | How about drinking arrangements? |
40479 | How did we know that it had really been women who had tortured the corporal? |
40479 | I asked,"what does''merde''mean, anyway?" |
40479 | I did not know anything about it? |
40479 | I saluted and said:"Non- malade, monsieur le docteur? |
40479 | I spoke to him in my rusty college French:"Would you please to direct me to the recruiting office of the Foreign Legion?" |
40479 | I was just beginning to breathe again, when a gendarme came up to me and asked, saluting courteously:"Monsieur is a Frenchman?" |
40479 | I''se in Paris( this here nigger''s been''bout pretty much) and a great big doggone Paris cop nabbed me, see? |
40479 | In an atmosphere of culture? |
40479 | Is it all right? |
40479 | Is it easy here? |
40479 | Is it right, eh?" |
40479 | Is n''t it bad enough if one Munich fool drinks their sticky old wine? |
40479 | Is the Legion then a collection of ruined talents?" |
40479 | It can be divided into two questions: Is it fair to pay a man who works really hard a daily wage of five centimes? |
40479 | It''s been given to a recruit already, you say? |
40479 | Like this:"Well, sonny, know anything about the Chapter of the Prophet''s Stallions?" |
40479 | Must I live among these uniformed human machines, amongst unthinking, unfeeling automatons? |
40479 | Nom d''un pétard, what do we want room for? |
40479 | Now do n''t object, because I''m going to call you Dutchy anyhow, see?" |
40479 | On this road a patrol was coming along at a gallop.... Had the police already seen me? |
40479 | One is only tempted to ask: How long will it last? |
40479 | Only his eyes lighted up...."Got money?" |
40479 | Palm- wine, ai n''t it? |
40479 | Said one of them:"Ca n''t you see that? |
40479 | Scoot, skin out, bunk it-- see?" |
40479 | See how they are looking at you? |
40479 | Shall I help you to write a real, nice, touching letter, Dutchy?" |
40479 | Smith grinned in answer:"Room? |
40479 | The question was: Had a telegram from the regiment with my description reached Oran already or not? |
40479 | The reason? |
40479 | The silent march into the night was trying for my burning curiosity, and I did a most unmilitary thing:"Where are we going to, Lieutenant?" |
40479 | The"merdes"were always flying about...."Well, what is this''merde''?" |
40479 | Then after a pause:"What do you really expect? |
40479 | This child''s been fooled, see? |
40479 | Too bad, is n''t it?" |
40479 | Votre nom?" |
40479 | Want a bottle of champagne?''" |
40479 | Well?" |
40479 | What do you think of that?" |
40479 | What do you want? |
40479 | What in h---- you want to come here for?" |
40479 | What is the difference? |
40479 | What was my name now?... |
40479 | What was your profession?" |
40479 | What would the custom- house say to my valise filled with paper? |
40479 | What''s in a fine name, I say, if you''ve got nothing to fill your stomach with? |
40479 | What''s this bow- legged monkey doing on my bunk? |
40479 | When I answered it was I, he said he could not stand it any more in there-- hadn''t I a cigarette? |
40479 | When I was relieved at midnight the sergeant asked:"Anything unusual?" |
40479 | When the corporal had made his report, my captain sent for me:"You have not been punished so far?" |
40479 | Where was I, anyway? |
40479 | Who''s going to help you? |
40479 | Whose fault is it? |
40479 | Why should I not live a rough life now? |
40479 | Why should a convict get paid? |
40479 | Why should they make it so hard for me in particular? |
40479 | Why should they stare at me? |
40479 | Without any examination?" |
40479 | Wo n''t you come?" |
40479 | Would they appreciate a true artist? |
40479 | You sit there in your arm- chair? |
40479 | You surely must be a relation of the Bismarck family?" |
40479 | You''ll give me your suit, wo n''t you? |

40479 | he yelled, laughing as if he had suddenly gone crazy,"what''merde''means? |
40479 | nom de Dieu, de bon Dieu de la Légion-- damn me, why should I work myself to death? |
40479 | said the nigger disgusted,"me? |
40479 | toujours viaïsse-- what does the fellow want?" |
40479 | will you give me a cigarette?" |
40479 | will you have a cigarette?" |
40479 | you pig, do n''t you know that this month the overcoats are buttoned on the right side?" |
