I have vowed that if ever the time came when history should speak of a German world power or a Hohenzollern world power this should not be based on conquest, but come through a mutual striving of nations after a common purpose. "After much has been done internally in a military way, the next thing must be the arming ourselves at sea.
Out of the little harbour of this fort a large open boat was being poled, and in it a dozen or fifteen soldiers were hastily arming themselves. "What now?" cried Martin. "They are going to stop the mouth of the channel." The hard-featured Hans set his teeth and made no answer. Only he looked backward at his pursuers and onward at those who barred the way.
"I know of just such a case, where a mob tried the same thing; some of them, however, repented before they went to heaven, I hope." Uncle Daniel continued: "He left the town, however, under a guard and returned home. Soon after this he made a second effort, by arming 20 resolute men of his recruits with Colt's revolvers, which he procured from the Governor of the State, and returned to Saco.
This naval rivalry between powers which had so lately been united in the war against Germany, led thoughtful people to consider the probable outcome and to ask against whom these powers were arming.

Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror.
In which humor the Diet returned to its Session-House, and voted the "Insurrection," or general Arming of Hungary, County by County, each according to its own contingent; with all speed, in pursuance of her Majesty's implied desire. This was voted in rapid manner; but again, in the detail of executing, it was liable to haggles.
And if the Indian gold have corrupted also the King of Denmark, and made him likewise Spanish, as I marvellously fear; why will not your Majesty, beholding the flames of your enemies on every side kindling around, unlock all your coffers and convert your treasure for the advancing of worthy men, and for the arming of ships and men-of-war that may defend you, since princes' treasures serve only to that end, and, lie they never so fast or so full in their chests, can no ways so defend them?
This tendency on the part of the leading thinkers of the day is nowhere more apparent than in their attitude to the phenomenon in which all the insufficiency of the social conception of life is presented in the most concentrated form in their attitude, that is, to war, to the general arming of nations, and to universal compulsory service.
