The Wooden Horse: Or America Menaced By a Prussianized Trade (Classic Reprint)

Sir David Beatty is now admiral of the great British fighting fleet. When the German High Seas Fleet came into the open off Jutland, Beatty found them. He had under his command four lightly armored, big-gunned battle cruisers. With these four ships he seized the entire German navy in a fighting grip, and altho his losses were heavy, he held them until the British fleet arrived. The following clarion call to Britain was voiced by Sir David, that true son of the bull-dog breed: Surely the ilmighty God does not intend this war to be just a hideous fracas, a bloody, drunken orgy? There must be a purpose in it; improvement must come out of it. In that direction France has already shown us the way, and has risen out of her ruined cities with a revived religion that is most wonderful. England still remains to be taken out of the stupor of self-satisfaction and complacency in which her flourishing condition has steeped her, and until she can be stirred out of this condition, until religious revival takes place at home, just so long will the war continue. When she can look on the future with humbler eyes and a prayer on her lips, then we can begin to count the days toward the end. What England needed then, we need to-day.
