"French hatred of Germany has been looked upon as something of a bugaboo, as being greatly exaggerated, and having little reality except in the writings of the sensationalists. That this hatred is a fact, a very serious fact, is vouched for by J.V. Widman, the distinguished Swiss writer....It is said that every boy in France must aim at the realization of the dream of revenge upon the barbarians inhabiting Germany, who will never fight in the open, and who murder infants and aged people in cold blood."
