"And a big one, when he comes up against a bigger one gets pretty badly
jarred, eh?"
"I suppose so," said Barry.
"That's what's goin' to happen to Germany," said McCuaig.
"Germany's a very powerful nation," said Barry. "The most powerful
military nation in the world."
"What!" said McCuaig. "Bigger than Britain?"
"Britain has two or three hundred thousand men in her army; Germany has
seven millions or more, with seventy millions of people behind them,
organised for war. Of course, Britain has her navy, but then Germany has
the next biggest in the world. Oh, it's going to be a terrific war."
"I say," said McCuaig, putting his hand on Barry's shoulder. "You don't
think it will bother us any to lick her?"
"It will be the most terrible of all Britain's wars," replied Barry. "It
will take every ounce of Britain's strength."
"You don't tell me!" exclaimed McCuaig, as if struck by an entirely new
idea. "Say, are you really anxious, young man?"
"I am terribly anxious," replied Barry.
