To make Berlin a world-capital and Kaiser Wilhelm a world-emperor only two things were needed. Plainly the first thing to be done was to organize the Pan-German Empire League and educate the leading men of Germany the ship owners, bankers, merchants and manufacturers, editors, ministers, priests and university professors.
In pursuance of his hope he sacrificed three million German boys, left dead in the fields of Flanders and France. He sent home four million German cripples. He filled the land with vast armies of widows and orphans. It could not have been otherwise. There has never been, and never will be, but one world city Rome; and there has never been but one world-emperor Cæsar Augustus.
"Your father, as President of that world-corporation which potentially controls two thousand millions of human beings and which will, tomorrow, absolutely control them, is no longer any father of yours. "He is a world-emperor, and his few associates are princes of the royal house. Your life and thought have forever broken with him. No more can bonds and ties of blood hold you.
Instantly the imaginations of the German peasants and workmen kindled. The Kaiser was right. What had been in Rome must be in Berlin. The Elbe must succeed the Tiber. Berlin shall be the second world-capital. Our Wilhelm shall be the second world-emperor. Germania shall be written straight across Europe from Hamburg on the North Sea to Bagdad on the Persian Gulf.
