The piece lauds America's mass mobilization as 13,000,000 expected registrants and 1,000,000 annual availability, contrasting triumphant Allied advance with silent U.S. mobilization to defeat Germany. It argues Americans exceed German capability in manpower and warfare, condemns Germany as an outlaw, and frames the mobilization as a sublime, world-changing event.

German Megalomania and the War’s Unyielding Resolve
The essay critiques Walter von Rathenau and German industrial leadership, arguing belief in total military victory persists after four years of war. It notes plans for an occupied postwar order, predicts British despair, and foresees maritime and land battles as central in a prolonged conflict, with Germany’s power stretching from the Caucasus to the Pyrenees. The piece contrasts elite ambition with the masses and calls for Allied victory to curb German militarism.
