Excerpt from The Russian Problem
Great events have been crowded into the space of a few weeks, and it is difficult to regain one's balance in the rush of unexpected experiences. Every one feels that there is a background to all these 'events' in the shape of 'conditions,' and that what is happening now is only a manifestation of latent forces gathered long before the collision.
One of the popular surprises of the war has been the gigantic strength of Russia, and the public spirit which animates her in this crisis. The fact that German statesmen and military leaders entirely miscalculated these forces, in spite or because of the close neighbourhood of both countries, is casting ridicule on the pedantic conceit of the chosen Kultur-people.
