REPRESENTATIVES OF GERMAN INDUSTRY.
Berlin, Aug. 13, 1914.
German Declarations
By Rudolf Eucken and Ernst Haeckel.
Dr. Eucken is Privy Councilor and Professor of Philosophy in
the University of Jena; won the Nobel Prize for Literature in
1908; has received many foreign honorary degrees and his
philosophy has been expounded in English.
Ernst Haeckel is Privy Councilor and late Professor of Zoology
at the University of Jena; has written many works on evolution
which have been translated into English.
The whole German world of letters is today filled with deep indignation
and strong moral resentment at the present behavior of England. Both of
us, for many years bound to England by numerous scientific and personal
ties, believe ourselves prepared to give open expression to this inward
revulsion. In close co-operation with like-minded English investigators
we have zealously exerted ourselves to bring the two great peoples
closer together in spirit and to promote a mutual understanding.
