11352	When you have the advantage, are you to use it or not?
11352	And now, what paths does this history indicate to us for the future?
11352	Are we prepared to make the sacrifices which such an effort will doubtless cost us?
11352	Have we the energy to aspire to that great goal?
11352	How much could be saved in money alone and applied usefully to this purpose were the above- mentioned country manoeuvres of the artillery suspended?
11352	In the future, however, the importance of Germany will depend on two points: firstly, how many millions of men in the world speak German?
11352	In what does the creative power of this struggle consist?

11352	The apostles of the peace idea must be confronted with Goethe''s manly words:"Dreams of a peaceful day?
11352	The crucial question is, How far has the State performed this duty, and thus served the interests of the community?
11352	The question still is, How to win back the working class to the ideals of State and country?
11352	Thus we must look at the business of war or the sword with the eyes of men, asking, Why these murders and horrors?
11352	To what does the whole question amount?
11352	Two questions in this connection are at once suggested: On what right is the finding of this Arbitration Court based?

11352	Where does the power reside which insures the execution of this judgment when pronounced?
11352	and what sanctions insure that the parties will accept this finding?

11352	secondly, how many of them are politically members of the German Empire?
46755	And are you really going to give in your resignation to- morrow? 46755 And do you suppose that day will come?"
46755	And do you think that this time it will come off?
46755	And has no one seriously paid court to you?
46755	And how long have you been a lieutenant?
46755	And what about Lieutenant Winkler? 46755 And what did he answer?"
46755	And what did the captain reply?
46755	And what do you know?
46755	And what do you think about it, Elsa?
46755	And what does the fellow manufacture? 46755 And what if I disinherit you?"
46755	And what if I forbid you to do so, and order you to remain an officer for some time longer?
46755	And what if I insist?
46755	And what is his name? 46755 And what is that?"
46755	And what is that?
46755	And what is that?
46755	And what is the reason of this generosity, may I ask?
46755	And what sort of a family has she?
46755	And what was that?
46755	And when do you think of sending in your request?
46755	And when was that?
46755	And where did you get it from?
46755	And why should you not talk about her to other people?
46755	And would that make for efficiency in time of war?
46755	And yet you recommend him to me as a husband?
46755	Any answer?
46755	Are n''t you ever going to get out, Hildegarde?
46755	Are you angry with me?
46755	Are you comfortable, darling?
46755	Are you sorry?
46755	Are you still turning the heads of all my lieutenants, baroness?
46755	Ashamed? 46755 Baroness, would you be so good as to pass the sauce- tureen?"
46755	Because you are in my rooms, or because you are with me?
46755	But Fritz, how is that possible?
46755	But Fritz,cried Hildegarde,"you surely would n''t take advantage of that?
46755	But Hildegarde can not help that,George said, as if he had to protect her:"and what does her brother matter to me?"
46755	But how are things really with this highest caste? 46755 But how can it be altered?"
46755	But how could you do such a thing?
46755	But how do you propose to alter Society?
46755	But what do you want, then, father? 46755 But what if I do-- what if I do n''t want the other officers to triumph in your failure?"
46755	But what makes you take these views?
46755	But why do you keep it on?
46755	But, Hildegarde, whatever is the matter? 46755 But, count, do tell us, you must know something, who is this Winkler, then?"
46755	But, sergeant, whatever is the matter? 46755 But-- what happened then?"
46755	By Jove, sergeant- major, do you or I command this company? 46755 Ca n''t we dine together?
46755	Confess, honestly, do you ever talk about anything sensible at these entertainments? 46755 Did I not always tell you so?"
46755	Did it ever strike you von Nissew''s men very frequently limped or marched badly? 46755 Did the captain summon the non- commissioned officer?"
46755	Did you get introduced to her?
46755	Did you never speak to the captain about von Nissew?
46755	Did you not understand me?
46755	Did you take the money?
46755	Do n''t take it amiss, but I beg you to give me your word that you will not tell anyone of my visit to you?
46755	Do you know that you are very like Hildegarde in many ways?
46755	Do you know what was in the letter you took to Lieutenant Winkler?
46755	Do you know what will happen next?
46755	Do you know your father so little, that you thought he would let you be here alone to- day? 46755 Do you mean to say that you travel second class?"
46755	Do you not really understand that it is precisely on his account that I do n''t want to go to the reception? 46755 Do you really mean it?"
46755	Do you really think so? 46755 Do you really want to know?"
46755	Do you remember how at first you wanted to fling down your gun in despair? 46755 Do you then, as an officer, wish that it should be otherwise?"
46755	Do you want to say anything else?
46755	Does not the man see that this farewell banquet is a pure farce? 46755 Does your colonel know that you have debts?"
46755	George, what are you thinking about so seriously?
46755	Get up, dear, why should I be angry with you, indeed? 46755 Happy, my boy?
46755	Has anyone spoken to him?
46755	Have any letters come for me?
46755	Have n''t you spoken to her at all?
46755	Have you any bills or I O U''s out?
46755	Have you come to the end of your tether? 46755 Have you ever been there?"
46755	Have you still Willberg''s letter?
46755	How can you be so foolish as not to notice these things?
46755	How could I do such a thing?
46755	How could I not remember it?
46755	How could I, after all the humiliation I have endured? 46755 How could he possibly be?
46755	How do you do, mamma? 46755 How do you mean?
46755	How long has Lieutenant Winkler been on furlough?
46755	I heard rather a good story lately about that,said one of the officers;"let''s see, what was it?
46755	I insist upon knowing-- do you understand? 46755 I know, sir, but what would have happened if I had officially reported something of which officially I had had no intimation?
46755	I quite agree with you,said Fritz;"but what''s the use of lamenting?
46755	I say, Kirchberg, wherever have you hidden yourself?
46755	In beautiful Paris?
46755	Is Willberg calm?
46755	Is it possible?
46755	Is it time yet? 46755 Is not every officer an enthusiastic soldier, then?"
46755	Is she pretty?
46755	Is that really so?
46755	Is the Uhlan still winning?
46755	Is there any answer?
46755	It may be, and I daresay such considerations are far removed from Winkler, but the officers credit him with these, and so what can one do? 46755 Let me see, what was I just saying?"
46755	Lieutenant Winkler, do you really understand what you have done?
46755	May I ask your opinion on the matter, sir?
46755	May I trouble you again?
46755	My darling, how can I do such a thing? 46755 My dear child, you have never before looked so out of sorts; what is the matter with you?"
46755	Not at all,and then somewhat hesitatingly she added:"Will you be so kind as to take me in to supper this evening?"
46755	Not more than that?
46755	Now, Herr Willberg, have you the courage to go on?
46755	Now, sergeant- major, why do n''t you do your work?
46755	Of course,said the major;"do you suppose I would celebrate the joyful news that Hilda brings us with miserable frothy German champagne?"
46755	Oh, that is what you think, do you?
46755	Olga, Olga, why these expressions of affection after so long an acquaintanceship?
46755	Petersen, what have you done to yourself?
46755	Quite so, but do you think the_ coup_ will be successful?
46755	Shall I go and talk to these people?
46755	Shall I read it to you then? 46755 Shall we really go to Paris?"
46755	Tell me, sergeant, how is such a thing possible? 46755 Tell me, sergeant- major, do you think the captain knew anything about the way von Nissew treated his men?"
46755	That is so,he agreed,"there is not much doing just at present, and they could not refuse me leave of absence, but where should I go?
46755	Then why do you do so?
46755	To the dead?
46755	Understand? 46755 Very easy to say that, but where is it to come from?"
46755	Well, George,she said at last,"have you yet made up your mind what you are going to do?"
46755	Well, Willberg, wo n''t you stake something? 46755 Well, and what then?"
46755	Well, but what''s the use of that-- I mean what''s the fun of it? 46755 Well, what about him?"
46755	Well, what do you say to that?
46755	Well, what do you think of it?
46755	Were you beaten?
46755	Were you forced to swear?
46755	Were you on friendly terms with Winkler when you were together in the company?
46755	What can happen? 46755 What did this honourable gentleman want with you?"
46755	What do these stuck- up aristocrats mean? 46755 What do you know about the matter, Non- Commissioned Officer von Nissew?"
46755	What do you mean? 46755 What do you think about this, mother?"
46755	What do you want of me?
46755	What do you want, then?
46755	What do you want? 46755 What do you want?"
46755	What does he look like?
46755	What does he matter? 46755 What does that mean?"
46755	What is he going to say?
46755	What is one to do? 46755 What is the matter now?"
46755	What is the matter with you?
46755	What shall I do? 46755 What sort of an impression does he make?"
46755	What will you bet that he wins her? 46755 What?
46755	Whatever does it matter to me?
46755	Whatever has happened then?
46755	Whatever is the matter?
46755	When is your father coming?
46755	Where are you going?
46755	Where''s the idiot? 46755 Where?"
46755	Wherever is Hildegarde?
46755	Who can say? 46755 Who is it from?"
46755	Who is it?
46755	Who will extirpate it root and branch?
46755	Who, I?
46755	Why did I not remain where I was? 46755 Why did you go into the army, and are you satisfied with your career?"
46755	Why do I take them? 46755 Why ever not?
46755	Why ever not?
46755	Why ever should I care about you? 46755 Why ever should you not succeed?
46755	Why not? 46755 Why not?"
46755	Why should I be?
46755	Why should he spoil my pleasure just at this moment? 46755 Will you go on playing?"
46755	Willberg, what does he want of you? 46755 Willberg, whatever is the matter?"
46755	Wo n''t you mind leaving the army?
46755	You are quite right, but have n''t you got a_ bourgeois_ fellow among the ensigns?
46755	You have forgotten all about me, have n''t you? 46755 You know I do n''t care whether she has money or not-- you need not trouble about that-- what I mean is, do you know anything about her relations?
46755	You were once on intimate terms with Willberg?
46755	You will take me with you? 46755 A good deal of dirt would be thrown about, but what would be the use of that? 46755 After a few more questions George was dismissed, and the colonel addressed the adjutant:Eh, what do you say, my dear count?"
46755	After a slight pause he asked,"How much is it for?"
46755	After a slight pause he asked:"Did you give him the money?"
46755	And do you imagine that I had this costly new costume made for you to take it off and put it in your wardrobe?
46755	And even if I had wanted to talk about her, to whom should I have talked?
46755	And even in the army was not a title of advantage to a man?
46755	And if a man has the misfortune to lose a thousand marks surely he is n''t more liable to punishment than if he had only staked twenty?
46755	And if anybody sees us together later on, what does it matter?
46755	And suddenly springing up, he demanded:"Swear on your oath-- have you still any connection with him, or does he know that we are intimate?"
46755	And then after a short pause he said:"Can I not dine with you in the mess- room?
46755	And then there are certainly a few who are really soldiers, heart and soul, but their number is small-- where are they to be found?
46755	And then why should the old boy say''No,''if I only succeed in making the daughter infatuated about me?
46755	And then, half- seriously, half- laughingly, he concluded,"Did you understand all I was talking about, you dear little duffer?"
46755	And then, what will you do?"
46755	And they, when at last they were quite alone, asked themselves again,"Why have we deserved this?"
46755	And was it any different in Society?
46755	And what is the result of it all?
46755	And what on earth could such a manufacturer tell His Majesty which he did not know already?
46755	And where does he get his money from?
46755	And who can blame an ensign for this?
46755	And who has to pay for all this?
46755	And who indeed was his father?
46755	And why was it a cheque at all?
46755	And why, again, should it have been an officer belonging to the highest nobility who gave people the opportunity of criticising the regiment?
46755	And, Hildegarde, astounded, burst out:"What on earth do you do with the money from home that uncle sends you?"
46755	And, besides, who knows us in Paris?"
46755	Are we soon to congratulate you, eh?"
46755	Are we to wait till we have a husband?
46755	Are you satisfied with that?"
46755	As soon as father and son were alone together it was:"What do you say if we were to drink another bottle of wine?"
46755	But again Petersen did not move, and asked, in an almost tearful tone:"Sir, will you really say nothing of this to the non- commissioned officer?"
46755	But consider how matters really stand?
46755	But now, where is the regiment that can boast of such apartments?"
46755	But perhaps you did not think he was serious in saying he would take his life?"
46755	But still is it not a very interesting psychological fact that almost every officer falls in love with a girl who is rich and ugly?
46755	But supposing he does n''t, what are you going to do?"
46755	But the question was, when?
46755	But what sort of men are they?
46755	But why did you invite him to dinner?"
46755	By the way what''s his name?
46755	By the way, have you heard,"went on the Uhlan,"what is said to have happened in a line regiment at a festival dinner?
46755	By the way, how old are you-- nineteen or twenty?"
46755	Ca n''t the Warnows pay the miserable few thousands( hundreds) in cash?
46755	Can not you tell me?
46755	Can you, and will you, give me information concerning this?"
46755	Cannon or machines?"
46755	Could n''t he wait?
46755	Could the colonel have found out that he had been in France, in Paris, without permission?
46755	Did n''t I?
46755	Did you know anything about it?
46755	Did you never inquire what was the matter, and did you never try to find out whether these accidents of which they spoke really did happen?
46755	Do you happen to remember the day-- I mean the date when this-- this-- creature came to you and entreated you to keep silence?"
46755	Do you imagine I have a pleasant life here?
46755	Do you mean you will pay so much money to free me from my engagement?
46755	Do you suppose I travel second class?
46755	Do you suppose a decent man would ask what were the debts of the father and mother of his future daughter- in- law?
46755	Do you think I should have succeeded so well if I had done otherwise?
46755	Do you understand?
46755	Do you understand?
46755	Do you want us to die without having had experience of life?
46755	Drill, riding, how to judge a horse, manners and behaviour, but what else?
46755	Even six thousand marks are not sufficient to defray the household expenses of a family, are they?
46755	Every one of them would have done what Winkler did-- why then was there anything special in it?
46755	For what reason?"
46755	Formerly it really was a day of honour and rejoicing when there was an inspection by those high in authority, but what happens now?
46755	Fritz had been listening to his father with astonishment, and now he said:"But what sort of a life do you think we ought to live?
46755	George, my boy, here''s a surprise for you, is n''t it?
46755	Had he been to the ward- room and had his wounds dressed by the nurse?
46755	Had he the slightest ground for proceeding against Willberg?
46755	Has anyone got cleaned out?"
46755	Has she any brothers and sisters?
46755	Have I never spoken to you about him?
46755	Have you any idea of housekeeping, cooking, domestic work?
46755	Have you got any money about you?"
46755	Have you lost all your money, then?"
46755	He fixed his eyes upon him almost as if he was saying:"What harm have I done you?"
46755	He had avoided the duel merely from cowardice; he had"funked,"and should such an officer be allowed to remain in the regiment?
46755	He is in another company, I know, and is he not in a different battalion?"
46755	He told her of the conversation he had had with the adjutant, and asked her at the end:"Do you think people ought to know how Willberg treated you?"
46755	He turned to him and said,"Not only a brute, but a coward?
46755	He was not in the mood to go into Society, and, indeed, how would he have been received?
46755	He will be astonished how affectionately we hold him, wo n''t he, Fritz?"
46755	Hildegarde could scarcely restrain herself from crying out:"What am I to do?
46755	Hildegarde parried the question; what could she really say?
46755	Hildegarde,"--her aunt thought she could not have heard rightly--"you want to stay at home?
46755	Home?
46755	How are you?
46755	How can I possibly ask my aunt for anything when she has just given me this costly dress?"
46755	How could I hold you responsible for what a villain did, and it''s not your fault that his name is Willberg?
46755	How could I indeed be sorry?"
46755	How could Lieutenant Winkler think such a thing about him?
46755	How could Willberg ask such a thing?
46755	How could you be so stupid as to change a cheque, even if only one person was standing by and saw you?
46755	How do matters stand with you?"
46755	How do, Hilda?
46755	How do, papa?
46755	How few of them ever have any opportunity of earning a few pence?
46755	How had she forgotten about this for the moment?
46755	How is it conceivable that such a thing should have gone on for weeks without anyone knowing anything about it?
46755	How is it, I wonder, that a young girl is of so little account to a lieutenant, that he talks of her without the least respect?
46755	How many of these aristocratic ladies have not a more or less harmless intrigue with a lieutenant?
46755	How much do you want?"
46755	How often had she not spoken to them about this, and reproached them, but all had given the same answer:"Why should n''t I have a lover?
46755	How was she to do it?
46755	However did you get here?"
46755	I ask you, what are four thousand marks to- day?
46755	I have several times taken von Nissew to task and said to him:''You are not striking your men, are you?''
46755	I ought, perhaps, to have thereupon made a declaration that he was lying, but what could I do?
46755	I shall see Paris or some other beautiful town?
46755	If a fellow lost twenty marks it did n''t matter to anybody, and if he lost a hundred, what did it matter?
46755	If he goes night after night to balls can he next day be fresh for his duties?
46755	Involuntarily Fritz joined in the laugh, then he became serious again and asked,"How are things with you, father?"
46755	Is he nice?"
46755	Is it any merit to them that they have a count or a baron for a father?
46755	Is it at all disagreeable to you for me to be by your side?"
46755	Is it, perhaps due to their education?
46755	Is she right?"
46755	Is she vexed with you about anything?"
46755	It is all very well to say that, but how will you get rid of him?
46755	It''s a frightful idea, but is it really true?
46755	May I ask why you entrusted so young a non- commissioned officer with so much authority over the men?
46755	Might I ask why?
46755	Nobody was paying any attention to their conversation, but how was she to express what she wanted to say?
46755	Nothing is more difficult than to talk the officers out of an idea which they have firmly seized upon-- you know that, sir, do you not?"
46755	Now confess, how much do you owe?"
46755	Now what is it?"
46755	Now, after what I have told you, do you not see that the carrying out of this order would have been for the benefit of the officers in many ways?"
46755	Now, can you believe one of your superiors capable of such a thing?"
46755	Olga thought for a moment, then she asked:"Can not you get leave of absence?
46755	Or do you think I act as an agent, perhaps?
46755	Or had the Emperor''s words any particular significance?
46755	Ought I to question the men behind a non- commissioned officer''s back?
46755	Perhaps the next time he comes to Berlin I might introduce him to you?
46755	Perhaps you''ll give me a free pass?
46755	Shall we stay here or go into the sitting- room?"
46755	She feigned, however, to be astonished when he suddenly said:"How do you do?"
46755	She thanked him once more, then she said:"Do you know, I am really to be envied for knowing you?
46755	She was much astonished, and at last she said:"Have you a sister, then, Lieutenant Winkler?
46755	She was quite exhausted by her long speech; then she turned to her niece and said:"Well, what do you think of my plan?"
46755	Should we go early and sober, or late and drunk?
46755	Simply because you''re a handsome fellow?
46755	So how could you earn your living?"
46755	Surely that is young enough, is n''t it?
46755	The Uhlan had the necessary capital, and who therefore could hope to win against him?
46755	The affair was extremely unpleasant to him, and who knew what else might come out?
46755	The baron purposely delayed his answer for some time, then he said:"Pretty?
46755	The colonel when discharging the recruits said:"Has any one of you any claims on the regiment?
46755	The lieutenants can read, but can they also write?
46755	The majority of officers have been cadets, and what do you learn in the army?
46755	The others quite agreed; what reason indeed could the father and daughter possibly have for not receiving the baron with open arms?
46755	Then Fritz said:"You may be quite right in what you say, father, but how can things be altered?
46755	Then he turned to George again:"You did not give him the money then?
46755	There was only one way out of the difficulty; Hildegarde must get engaged during the coming season, but the question was-- to whom?
46755	There would be one less dishonourable man in the army certainly, but who would have to bear the consequences of that?
46755	There would be people who would blame you, and why should you expose yourself to that?"
46755	They would not have allowed me to extend my time in the army; I should not have got my gratuity, and then what would have become of me?
46755	To the questions:"What''s the matter with the old fellow now?
46755	Was he ashamed of his reckless gambling or his tears?

46755	We may wait a long time, perhaps for ever, and what then?

46755	What were you thinking of?"
46755	What would George think if he knew how they drank his health and how they only thought of his money and not of himself?
46755	What would his parents, what would Hildegarde say, when they learnt that he had fought a duel for the sake of his mistress?

46755	Who, according to your theory, should supply the army with officers if not we?"
46755	Whoever would be so stupid as to pay debts?"

46755	Will you come with me?"
46755	Will you do me a favour and call upon her, or, better still, ask her to call upon you at the hotel?

46755	Will you not consider it for another month?
46755	Willberg would most likely be dismissed from the army, and what then?
