BRIEF FOLLIES; MARRIAGE
ONE LONG STUPIDITY"

To the Germans marriage is the sacred insti-
tuition upon which the family-and, further,
ciety-is built. Nietzsche says:
Many brief follies that is what ye call love.
And your marriage makes end to many brief
follies by one long stupidity"
The Germans reputed for their love Of swine,
woman and sOng.' and nowhere is woman set on
so lyrical pedestal among them. Nietzsehe
says:
when ye go to woman, do not forget the
whip"
Hospitality and sociability are characteristic
traits with the Germans. Nietzsehe says
"Do advise ye to love your neighbor? Rather
would / advise ye to your neghbor and to
love what is furthest from ye"
The Germans have strong notions about the

WHY THE GOSPEL OF THE sUPERMAN DID
NOT INFLUENCE THE GERMANS.

As for Nietzsche's influence upon German mill
+..en and his share OF the responsibility for IN
flaming the present war enthusiasm, is it reason
.bIv likely that a man whose ideas in general
FLASHED so ercely with time honored ideals OF the
Garnan races should have made so deep an imprint

Nietzsche, preaching the gospel of the Supermah'
LED the way to the self-g lorhcstion OF the leu
ton. the belief Of the Teuton in himself as being
by nature the greatest Of mankind.
Does Germany agree to such supposltion
Most certainly not, for whoever in Germany
knows anything about Nietzsche is not ignorant
Of his opinion about the Germans themselves.
Does he eulogize German culture when he says;
believe only in French culture and regard
everything else in Europe which calls itself cult

Wherever Germany extends her sway she ruins
