Peace Only a Dream.

We live today. indeed, in period
which emphasizes the high level Of
its civilization and which delights in
fantastic dreams OF the possibility OF
an eternal and universal peace. This
conception OF life is un-German and
is not becoming to US. The German
who loves his people. who believes
In the greatness and the future of our
homeland, dares not let himself be
soothed to slumber with utopian
songs Of peace.
Since its last great wars Germany
has passed through period OF
economic development that almost
awakens anxiety. Prosperity has so
Increased among all classes OF our
people that their demands for a
higher standard Of life and for lux

Our fstherland. moro than other

lto strong sword situated In the
center OF Europe, poorly protected by
unfavorable geographical frontiers,
not regarded with love by all ma
tons. 1t IS the sacred duty of the
German empire TO keep it's army and
navy ever at the highest point OF
readiness to strike. Only so. and re-
lying upon our good sword. can we
maintain our place. the place that
belongs 10 us. but is not willingly
conceded.
Joy in bearing arms was ever in
the hearts OF our people. Even with
the old Teutons a youth became
man only after he had had his bap-
tism of fire, II was this spirit, In
ferlted from brave ancestors, that
welded our fathers into invincible
troops In the wars OF the Great Elec-
tor. especially in the glorious bat

Gently upon the sun-pnrched soil OF

warlike, loyal and proud spirit we
