says the distinguished psychologist, dis
cussing the Kaiser and German imperial
ism. Every healthy-minded German con-
siders the Imperial Government the ideal
state form for his fatherland and would
regard a change to the republican form
as great step backward, which would
be welcome to none but to cosmopolitan
socialists. The German who believes in
the historic meaning and value of ma

politauism would see in the creation OF a
German republic n falling back to the ra-
tionaliZing theory of the 18th century"

''In the German view, the State is not

TT is not worth while to discuss the
gruesome stories of nefarious acts against
the wounded or helpless enemies. They
are hardly conscious lies-they are the
hysteric illusions of overexcitcd brains.

secured to conduct this school Of

she has talked to thousands of women

bringing to the housekeeper and home
