Cobb, Irvin S. (Irvin Shrewsbury), 1876-1944

"Paths of Glory Impressions of War Written at and Near the Front"

Great Britain we shall crush
utterly. She shall be shorn of her navy and she shall lose her
colonies--certainly she shall lose India and Egypt. She will become a
third-class Power and she will stay a third-class Power. Forget Japan--
Germany will punish Japan in due season.
"Within five years from now I predict there will be an offensive and
defensive alliance of all the Teutonic and all the Scandinavian races of
Europe, with Bulgaria included, holding absolute dominion over this
continent and stretching in an unbroken line from the North Sea to the
Adriatic and the Black Sea.
"Europe is to have a new map, my friends, and Germany will be in the
middle of that map. When this has been accomplished we shall talk about
disarmament--not before. And first, we shall disarm our enemies who
forced this war on us."
The scientist spoke next. He is a tall, spectacled, earnest
Westphalian, who has invented and patented over a hundred separate
devices used in electric-lighting properties, and, in between, has found
time to travel round the world several times and write a book or two.
