HEROIC DEATH OF
 GERMAN OFFICER

Berlin, February 2o-(Correspondenc of the Associated ress)-When the German troops again took possession of the little town of Drobin in Russian Poland they found there the grave of one of their licutenants who had been missing since the end of November and they obtained from the local priest, the physician. and a German htssar who had been pris- oner there. the details of his heroic death. trAs' s'ti e-se.'sa's
 He had been sent out on November go with patrolling part of l4 hussars and a OCT pofal to reconnoitre They suddenly found themselves surrounded by 40 Rus sian hussars, who opened & hot fire. At the very beginning, the lfeutenant's horse vas shot under him. The rest of his pdrty fled. except four who were killed pr wounded. The lieutenant succeeded in running across fields and half dozen dttches and getting into house, where he was followed and surrounded by the Russians. Their leader sent man to call upon him to surrender, but this was refused On second summons he was in- formed that his resistance against a whole troop of Russians would be impos- sfble. But the German counted the bull let's in his revolver and answered "A German officer does not surrender. still have five cartridges-they are enough fer you-and me-
 Then came fight fin which he was twice severely wounded and captured.
 "A man with that on him never sur- renders" he said as he pointed to the iron cross on his breast. He died on his way to the field hospital The Russians gave him burial with all the honors of war in the church yard at Drobin. They erected a. wooden cross with the inscrip- tion: "von Griesheim, lieutenant of the Yhuringian Hussars'

At Bonnine, ham, let perched on the heights northeast of Namur, shells have pieced the walls of the church tower from each side.

The Belgians had a lookout with field telephone in the tower.

Great Military Writer Defends Pur-
pose Of German Militarism and It's
Influence on Teutonic Spirit


Foreign Minister only recently as
serted publicly: The real object OF
the wal Is the crushing of the bloody"
German mil!tarism watch constitutes
a menace TO the entire world.
Wherein, l now ask. lies the differ
ence between German m!litarism and
the mllitarism Of other military IA
tons? Where lies its particular peril?
Our enemies are quick with the re-
ply:
German m~llitarism enslaves tho
nation and makes Of il the mute and
submissive instrument OF an ambi-
tious Government which. through rs
plans of conquest and world domina-
ton. all neighboring coun-
tries. as was shown by the policy OF
force" in 1864, 1866 and 1901. This
m!litarism Is an enemy OF all culture.
which can flourish only in a free ma
ton. The Germans also are for that
reason absolutely barbar!c, as Is
proved by their present warfare on
land and at sea. From the yoke OF
this barbarism the world must be
liberated: Germany must be prevented
from being a strongly armed nation
In order that the onward step OF civil
liza ton be no longer retarded by this
brutal nation of warriors and so that
the blessings of universal peace be at
last shared by all nations.
To attain this noble end-so argue
our enemies-it Is well worth while
that the masses Of civilizations real
banner bearers enthuse sacrifice
themselves upon its altar. To attain
this end the English and the French
allied themselves with the Russians:
to this end they bring up Hindus.
New ~Zealanders. negroes n Hotten-
tots in order to definitely subdue Ger
many, which formerly vas called the
land of the thinkers and poets, hut
watch Is in reality a land of warlike
and slavish barbar!ans.
That Is the publicly professed
opinion Of our opponents as 1t is
preached In al, streets and alleys and
at all beer tables; that Is what they
are ende. !c..ng to maze h people
of the United States and all the rest
of the world believe.
Now, what is the truth OF the situa-
ton?
Universal Consumption was intro
duCed in Prussia in an hour OF need.
When In the beginning of the last
century Napoleon had subdued all
Germany and destroyed most Of Prus-
STA so that il only numbered five mill
ion Inhabitants, S~charnhorst created
the army through general CONSUMPTION.
The Cd glory of Prussia Of h Seven
Years War and the hatred against the
foreign oppressor combined to make
the new institution popular from the
outset. 1t made it possible for little

ished. to put 200 900 men into the field

and together with its ally 10 vanquish
the powerful Corsiear.
When peace had come nobody
thought of giving up tho h,issfu, m
st!tution upon which rested I'russia's
newly acquired power and pos ton.
No one wanted to torego the duty IL
honor to sacrifice in the hour Of
danger all earthly goods and the las;
drop Of hood for the common WEI
fare. Thus the nation heCime accus-
toned to universal CONSUMPTION and
learned to regard military service AS
a natural duty.
Then, when in the beginning of the
eos King Wilhelm o-dered a strength
ening OF the army and a r~oorgan!za-
ton " its a~nt.quated institutions, n
theoretically limited representation
OF the people. II Is true. raised It's
voice not against universal consCrlp-
ton but against It's naturalization in
the modern garb. But all opposition
ceased when the brilliant successes Of
the new Prussian peoples army" IN
1864 against Denmark and in 1866
against Austria showed how correctly
King Wilhelm had judged conditions.
Thenceforth universal consumption be-
came the common property Of the en-
tire German nation. the palladium OF
further national growth.
German mil!tarism, if one would
call by that name the conviction OF
the necessity Of universal Conscrip-
ton and the training of the people
for military service and for military
readiness. is, in consequence Of this
development, deeply rooted in the
ideas and in the philosophy of life Of
the entire German nation; IL has been
deepened and strengthened by the
realization that Germany. situated in
the centre of Europe, is surrounded
Almost on all sides by antagonistiC
nations and that her very existence Is
threatened II she is not able to elfec-
lively defend herself.
This view, however. has by no
means eXerted a retarding and de-
plorable effect upon civilization, as
our enemies charge it has. Never and
nowhere has there bee raised in our
land a submissive, blindly o'cd!en.
