Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! We're going in!
American Unfriendliness
By Maximilian Harden
[From THE NEW YORK TIMES, April, 1915.]
Maximilian Harden, author of the article of which the
following is a translation, is the widely known German
journalist and publicist who has been termed "the German
George Bernard Shaw." The article was published in the second
February number of Die Zukunft.
_Japan and the United States are being wooed. Ever since the Western
powers' hope of speedy decisive blows on the part of Russia have
shriveled up, they would like to lure the Japanese Army, two to four
hundred thousand men, to the Continent. What was scoffed at as a whim of
Pinchon and Clemenceau now is unveiled as a yearning of those at the
head of the Governments._
_The sentimental wish to see Germany's collapse completed by the
activities of the allied European powers now ventures only shyly into
the light of day. The ultimate wearing down of the German Army assures
us of victory; but a speedy termination of the war under which the whole
hemisphere suffers would be preferable. The Trans-Siberian Railway could
bring the Japanese to Poland and East Prussia.
