"Ohne Armee kein Deutschland." She can permit no silly, no stupid, no excited majority to imperil her safety as a nation.
In Germany, too, the real socialists are not the 'Spartacist' scoundrels who have betrayed and ruined their country, but the bureaucracy with their Deutschland über Alles.

G., had heard from her brother in Berlin of our departure for America in the ship "Deutschland;" and these good people, thinking that they could be of use to us in a new country, had been watching for its arrival.
The polished courts of self-denying love, the Troubadours, the salons, the refining influences that gradually raised woman to her modern sovereignty of a graceful liberty and charm, never characterized Deutschland. Besides, women becoming idols through his own sexual restraint compelled a self-sacrificing procedure that did not appeal to Fritz.
The War Under the Sea Britannia rules the waves. Enter the submarine. The blockade of Germany. The sinking of the Lusitania and other ships. The trade in munitions of war. The voyages of the Deutschland. The reply of the allies. Germany's amazing announcement. The United States breaks off friendly relations.
