One hundred years of conflict between the nations of Europe, the causes and issues of the great war; . a u PAN-SLAVISM VERSUS PAN-GERMANISM 77 that has set himself against the Slav, as a measure of self-defenseagainst the torrent of Slavism apparently seeking an outlet in alldirections. Prolific as we know the Anglo-Saxons to have once been andas the Germans still appear to be, there are few instances in humanhistory of a natural growth of population like that of the Slavsin recent years. They have grown to outnumber the Germansnearly three to one, and may perhaps do so in the future in a stillgreater proportion. This is a scarcely desirable state of affairs in view of the factthat the Slavs as a whole are lower and more primitive in char-acter and condition than the Germans. The cultivated portion ofSlavic populations forms a very small proportion in number ofthe whole, and stands far in advance of the abundant multitudeof peasants and artisans, a vast body of people who are ruledchiefly by fear; fear of the State on one side, of the Church onthe other.
