This change in the mental attitude of the people was especially noticeable in respect to England. It is fre- quently said here and elsewhere that it is the Kaiser himself who has made this war, or that he could have prevented it. I do not think those who make that charge have any conception of the state of mind of the people behind him and his advisers. The Germans used to have rather a friendly feel- ing for Great Britain: they ad- mired her and thought of her as their former ally and friend, ...though the late Crown Princess, the present Emperor's mother, GERMANS THEN AND NOW 3 1 did a good deal to make England disliked, — but the German com- mercial and working classes liave not even now desired war, for many practical reasons, but under- neath the peaceable and friendly surface which they presented, there lay a deep and general feeling against England. It is not the individual Englishman whom Ger- mans dislike, but England as a Power; they despise her as they do all other nations except perhaps America, which they fear as a commercial rival.
