a brochure by Rene Legand, should also be read. [46] Rappoport, _op. cit._, pp. 70-77. [47] Rappoport, p. 234. [48] In his speech at Vaise, near Lyon, July 25, 1914, six days before his death, he said: "Every people appears throughout the streets of Europe carrying its little torch; and now comes the conflagration." [49] Rappoport, p. 61. [50] Rappoport p. 369-70. [51] "Throughout the world there are six millions of us, organized workmen, for whom the name of Jaures was the incarnation of the noblest and most complete aspiration.... I remember what he was for the workmen of other countries. I see still the foreign delegates who awaited his words before forming their final opinions; even when they were not in agreement with him they were glad to approach his point of view. He was more than the Word: he was the Conscience." [52] Who has spoken more nobly than he of the eternal France, "the true France, that is not summed up by an epoch or by a day, neither by the day of long ago, nor the day that has just passed, but the whole of France complete in the succession of her days, of her nights, of her dawns, of her shadows, of her heights and of her depths; of France, who, across all these mingled shades, all these half-lights and all these vicissitudes, goes forward towards a brilliance which she has not yet attained, but which is foreshadowed in her thought!" (1910.) See his masterly picture of French history, and his magnificent eulogy of France, at the Conference of 1905, which he was prevented from delivering in Berlin, and which Robert Fischer read in his place. [53] The terms Asia and Africa have not, of course, a geographical but an ethnological signification. Turkey is not, and never has been, European; and it is difficult to decide up to what points certain of the Balkan Powers are European. * * * * * Corrections of typographical erros made by the etext transcriber: Tolstoi=>Tolstoi Auslaender, Auslander=>Auslaender Deutschland Uber Alles=>Deutschland Ueber Alles Amedee=>Amedee Rene Schickele=>Rene Schickele Rene Legan=>Rene Legand Barres=>Barres Caesar=>Caesar Cornelienne=>Cornelienne Ferriere=>Ferriere Herve=>Herve Kulturtrager=>Kulturtraeger Leonhard=>Leonhard Liege=>Liege Peguy=>Peguy Regnier=>Regnier Thermopylae=>Thermopylae Zorothowa=>Zorothowo Graefin=>Graefin Notre-Dame la Misere=>Notre-Dame la Misere
