"Affect Germany?" cried Professor Schaefer. "Yes," said Hugo Raeder, "what has Germany to do with the scrap unless she wants to butt in?" "Ha! ha! My dear man, have you read no history of the last twenty years? But you Americans know nothing about history, nothing about anything except your own big, overgrown country." "I thought you were an American citizen, Schaefer?" inquired Hugo.
Some friends of the Professor rushed toward them. "Stand clear, gentlemen," said Raeder. "We are perfectly able to handle this. This man offered my friend a deadly insult. My friend simply anticipated what I myself would gladly have done. Let me say this to you, gentlemen, for some time he and those of his kind have made themselves offensive.
Graduates of the great universities, men high in the leadership of the financial world, the editors of the great newspapers almost to a man, magazine editors and magazine writers untinged by racial or personal affinity with Germany, these were represented by Raeder, and were strongly and enthusiastically in sympathy with the aims of the Allies, and as the war advanced became increasingly eager to have their country assume a definite stand on the side of those nations whom they believed to be fighting for the liberties and rights of humanity.
Wakeham, and with a curt bow to the rest of the company, Meyer hurriedly left the room, followed by Professor Schaefer and Mr. Wakeham. "Aren't they funny!" said Rowena. "They get so excited about nothing." "Well, it is hardly nothing," said Hugo Raeder. "Any European war is full of all sorts of possibilities. You cannot throw matches about in a powder magazine without some degree of danger."
We do business with him," said his father. "All right, Father," replied the boy. The Professor drew in a chair and sat down. He only wanted a light lunch and if they would allow him he would break in just where they were. He was full of excitement over the German successes on sea and on land. "On land?" said Raeder. "Well, I should not radiate too freely about their land successes.
Raeder after one look at his face took Larry away with him, sick with rage and fear, in his car, and for an hour and a half drove through the Park at a rate that defied the traffic regulations, talking the while in quiet, hopeful tones of the prospects of the Allies, of the marvellous recovery of the French and British armies on the Marne and of the splendid Russian victories.
"That is God's truth," said Raeder. "Take a vote of the college men to-day, of the big business men, of the big newspaper men these control the thinking and the acting of America and you will find, ninety per cent. of these pro-Ally. Just be patient and give the rest of us time. Americans will not stand for the bully," added Raeder, putting his hand on Larry's shoulder. "You hear me, my boy.
The rights and wrongs of the great world conflict were at first nothing to her. With Canada and the Canadians she was madly in love, they were Larry's people and for Larry she would have gladly given her life. Another exception to the general state of feeling was that of Hugo Raeder. From the first Raeder was an intense and confessed advocate of the cause of the Allies.
"It is a great pity you cannot come with us, and you look rather fagged. Dimock could not delay, eh?" "He says he has an appointment at Kansas City which he must keep." "Oh, it is perfect rubbish," exclaimed Rowena impatiently, "and we have a party on to-night. Your friend, Mr. Hugh Raeder, is to be out, and Professor Schaefer and a friend of his, and some perfectly charming girls."
His sturdy Americanism resented this bigamous citizenship. "What of France or Britain?" "Ah," said Professor Schaefer with a sharpening of his tone. "That is quite easy." "You would be a German, eh?" said Raeder. "You ask me," exclaimed Professor Schaefer, "you ask me as between Germany and France, or between Germany and Britain?
