The feeling in England, and to some ex, tent in America is somewhat heightened by the change that has come over the manner of the Prussians particularly the brusqueness of the army officers American and foreign students and travellers before 1870 found Prussia a more pleasant place to live than today. But the astounding successes of Prussian arms in 1864 with Den mark, in 1866 with Austria, and 1S70-7l with France, have filled the victor with pride and arrogance noticeable to the wis itor of other days returning to Prussia to- day This is seen not among the common people, but among the army officers the officialdom, the bureaucratic, as the Ger mans call it. This spirit is offensive alike to the common people of Germany and to the people of other countries. As friend who had spent several years in German unl- versailles once remarked to me, "A good whipping would improve the Prussians' manners"
