HEINRICH HEINE
 PREDICTED THE DOWNFALL
 OF GERMAN CHRISTIANITY

This Sunday marks the 1f7th ami versary of the birth of Heinrich HSine, the greatest German poet since Goethe, and a prophet as well, since he pre- dicted many transitions in German life which have since come to pass. While Heine is honored as one of the chief literary figures in the German pantheon of fame, he was born of Jew ish parents, and during the greater part of his mature life he was an exile from his native land.
 One of Heine's predictions which will
 be bitterly denied by Christian Ger mans, but which is cited as an evil dence of prophetic insight by the pres ent critics of Teutonic culture, was as fo1lows:
 .sChristianity-and this is it's highest
 merit-has in some degree softened, but 1t could not destroy. that brutal German joy of battle. When that
 tanning talisnan, the cross, breaks in two, the savagery of the old fighters,
 the senseIess Berserlxer fury-of which
 the Morse poets sing and say so much will gush IEp anew. That talisman is decayed, and the day will come
 when it will piteous1y collapse. Then the old stone gods will arise from the silent ruins and will rub the dust of a
 thousand years from their eyes. Thor
 with his giants hammer will at last spring up and shatter to bits the
 Gothic cathedrals.,
 Heine was born in Dusseldorf on
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-12-15

December 13, 1797. Strange to say hls native town has failed to commemor- ate in any way the memory of its most illustrious son. Only a few months ago, however, a wealthy citizen of Dusseldorf died and bequeathed the city a. legacy of FOG, ,OO0 marks, direct ing that the sum of 10000 marks, or $10, 900, be expended on the erection of a statue to the German poet. While the war has put a stop to the project, it is likely that in the course of the next few years Dusseldorf will be re- lieved of the accusation of being the most ungratefu1 of cities.
 Tr--o was the son Of a wealthy banker in Hamburg, and he was given 8 legal education at Boon, Berlin and Gottingen, in the expectation that such Knowledge would be useful in carry ing on his fathers banking business. But Heine was made of different stuff, commerce, while he considered rhe law an abomination.
 Of. the great German-Jew, Brander Matthews, the American critic and educator. recently wrote:
 t*Germany has had philosophers and historians of high rank; but in pure literature, in what used to be called ;belles 1ettres,' from the death of Goethe in 1882 to the advent of the younger generation of dramatists, Su1errnann and Hauptmann and the rest, in the final decade of the nine teenth eentury-that is - say, for a period of nearly sixty years-on1y one German author succeeded iu winning a worldwide celebrity-and Heine was 8 Hebrew, who died in Paris. out of

 was the Lake Placid Club; back of l,the kaleidoscope of lights and the

 of the gathering-place itself was the
 city, for the city set up the tree and later removed it.
 The Madison Square celebration closed with a reception to Jacob A. Riss, whose indomitable good will to- ward men was back of all the groups. An orchestra of one hundred pieces stopped the New ears eve clamor at 10:30; 4,000 singers joined in song for an hour, words being thrown on nov ing picture screens, and finally ended just at midnight with America.@@

favor with his countrymen, perhaps because he had been unceasing in call ing attention to the deficiencies of Ger man culture. There were in Germany
 many writers who appealed strongly to their e1loW-countrymen. but except only the solitary Heine no German writer attained to the international fame achieved by Cooper and Poe, by Walt Whitman and by Mark Twain Heines criticisms of German 1itera- ture and institutions aroused such re- sentiment that his native land became intolerabIe to him. and he sought a
 more congenia1 atmosphere in Paris. In 1880 he settled in the French capi- tai, where he supported himself by lit- erary labors, and remained there until his death in 1856. From 1887 until the downfall Of Louis Philippe in 1848 he was the recipient of an annual pen sion of $50 per month from the French government.
 Since his death, Heine has won uni versal recognition in Germany as one of it's greatest bards, and a few years ago a movement was set on foot to erect national monument to perpetu-
 ate his memory. New York has a.
 handsome Heine memorial, and several
 other American cities have perpetuated the fame of the immortal Jew whose
 lyrics, by their simplicity and pathos,
 make an irresistible appeal to all peo-
 pIes and races.
