Excerpt from The Game of Diplomacy
No man who has a definite constructive policy and who has the gift of analysing the logical results of expediency, can avoid arriving at Mr. De Schelk ing's conclusion, when he realizes the folly of these men Intimately acquainted with the characters and personalities of the two principal actors in the Euro pean drama, the Emperors Nicholas II of Russia, and William II of Germany, Mr. De Schelking is ruthless in exposing their weaknesses. In these pages, men make their entrance and their exit from the Euro pean stage, not as the historical characters they have hitherto represented in the eyes of their audience, but as human beings, with all the weaknesses and foibles of ordinary every-day people.
