Germany’s aim in foreign politics

Germany’s aim in foreign politics

Arnold White writes about the international situation in Europe, addressing first Russia’s desire for a warm water port, and then his impression of Germany’s goals with regards to Europe. Germany, White says, is the only nation with something to gain from a European war, and that the push for war is coming from the Jewish influence in Germany. With President Roosevelt’s election and friendship towards Germany, the United States has been removed as a potential deterrent toward German aggression. White ends with a prediction that if war happens, it will come through German aggression towards the Netherlands moving towards a collision with Great Britain, and he admonishes his reader that Germany must be watched.

Stead believes that Nicholas will be “emancipated” from the limits of autocracy and bureaucracy by the upcoming election of the Duma. When the Tsar and Duma meet, Stead predicts that they will be able to work well together.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Richard Cary Morse

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Richard Cary Morse

After receiving the message from the YMCA boys who ran from New York to Washington, D.C., President Roosevelt gives Richard Cary Morse a message that he can use at any time. He reflects on the importance of exercise and physical fitness in the “after life” of the boys who delivered the message. Although “hardy and vigorous bodies”  are important, it is important that the bodies be servants as the boys do “the work of the world.”
