Won Moltke brought a victorious army
to the gates of Paris and later chown-
ed William Emperor of Germany in
the palace of the defeated Napoleon.
1t is the inspiration of this. triumph
that throbs in the hearts Of the Ger
man soldiers today and makes easier
the hardships of the trenches and
the b%ivouac.
From 1871 to 1890, the personality
of Bismarck dominated the policy of
the new empire and he was as victori-
Gus in peace as he had been in war.
His dismissal by the present EN-
peror is remembered by many. The
vigorous personality of William The
Second would not brook the Bismarck
tutelage. Time hust settle the wis
dom of Germany's declaration of war,
but the present ruler Of Germany sat
at Bismarck's feet for two years and
previous to his accession to the
throne, learned many lessons in state
craft from the Iron Chancellor. His
debt to Bismarck is great, however
reluctant he may have been to follow
his advice.
Prince Bismarck died July 81, 1898,
and it will be remembered that it was
upon July 81, 1914, that the imperial
decree was issued declaring a state
of war throughout the German EN-
pire. ..-,.- .. ss.l nG ss
Theirs, the famous French states
man, once described Bismarck as an
amiable barbarian, but mis- character,
istization was biased by the hard bar
gain which the Chancellor forced
France to accept at the conclusion OF
the Franco-Prussian var lee !
Bismarck's glory is that of the con.
structor, not the destroyer. Twice
plunging his country into war, he
brought it out mightier than it en-.
tered the conflict. 80,
The world is wondering today
whether Emperor William will be
able to maintain the integrity of the
nation unified through the genius of
Bismarck. War to Bismarck meant
the realization of his dream of a Ger
man Empire. When that was accom-
plished he guarded z~ealously the
peace of his beloved people.
Bismarck strove through his entire
career to bring about an alliance with
Russia, but failed repeatedly. His
effort was directed to placate the
Great Bear and keep conditions in
Europe favorable to the u%ninterrupt
cd development Of the newly created
Germany. .9@ ~ '.r.' .f's.@
The greatness of the German En-
pire, which dates only from 1871, is
a monument to his genius. In this
hour of crisis, the memory of Bis
marck must stir anew the patriotism
of the brave soldiers Of the Father
land. n
No one, however biased by nationa.
prejudice, should refuse to pay trib
ute to this great man Of Germany;
her first statesman. ,.s -

PRINCE BIsMARck's CENTENARY


Today commentaries the centen-
airy of the birth of Bismarck, the Iron
Chancellor of Germany.
The nation he welded from a multi
tude of units celebrates the birth of
it's founder under the stress of war.
No greater tribute can be paid him
than to say that he, more than any
other, brought about the famous
union in 1871, and laid the founda-
tons of the present German Empire.
He was not always an advocate of
peace. His policy was one of blood
and iron when diplomacy failed. But
stern as were his methods, he appre.
ciated the value of peace as we'll as
lie knew how to follow the fortunes
of war.
Bismarck was a master at the game
of statecraft.
His patriotic devotion to Germany
outweighed all personal ambitions
and everything was subordinated to
achieve a union of the German states.
He vas born, April /, 1915, the year
Of Waterloo. With the accession to
the Prussian throne of William The
First, Bismarck began to plan for the
great German Union.
Strange as it may seem, it was wal
that consolidated the struggling
states torn by internal strife.
Bismarck allied with Italy, declared
war On Austria and ousted her SOL
diers from Holstein. Within seven
weeks PRUSSIA Inundated Austria.
Holstein and schleswig we're scored
and the first effective blow accom-
plished for the new German Confed-
Grafton.
The attitude of France toward the
consolidation of the German states
and the futile efforts of Napoleon The
Third to save his lettering throne.
brought on the FrancolPrussian war.
To all the demands of France Bis
marck replied:
"Not a clod of German soil, not a
chimney Of a German village
This sounded the kenynote of the
mighty empire which was aborning.

General Alger in his history of the
Spanish-American war has. penned a
sentence that comes home with ter
rife significance at this time:
There are martyrs IN all wars, but
the most piteous of these are the ST.
lent, helpless, heartbroken ones who
stay at home to weep and pray and
wait-the mother, sister, wife, and
sweetheart" Europe is full of such
martyrs today.

The Iron Chancellor.
BY GEORGE SYLVESTER wERlcK

g Above the grave where Bismarck sleeps
%I1as The ravens screeched with strange alarms;
The saxon forest in its deeps "
Shook with the distant clash of arms. :
The Iron Chancellor stirred. ""Tis war! Al
Give me my sword to lay them low
Who touch my work. Unbar the door 6f9a}6
l passed a hundred years ago."
The angel guardian of the tomb d
Spake of the law that binds all clay ~
That neither rose nor may bloom
Betwixt the night and judgment day.
"For no man twice may pass this gate,"
He said, but Bismarck flashed his eyes,
NAY, at the trumpet call of fate, 5
Like Barbarossa, ! shall rise. "H ""
"1n sight of all Gods seraphim @a
I'll place this helmet on my brow,
For, 10, we Germans fear but him,
And he, l know, is with us now"
The dead man stood up in his might;
The startled angel said no word.
Through endless spheres Of day and night
God in his seventh heaven heard a
And answered thus: "Shall man forget
My laws? They were not ligtly made
Nor writ for thee to break. And yet
| love thee. Thou art not afraid.
Bismarck, from now till morrow's sun
/ Walk as a wrath amid the strife,
And if thou find thy work undOne
y < Come back and l shall give thee-life."
With stern salute the specter strobe
WI Out OF the dark into the dawn.
From Hamburg to the Caspian road
&>H saw a wall of iron drawn.

He saw young men go forth to die
Singing the martial songs of yore.
{ Boldly athwart the Flemish sky ~
He marked the German airmen soar.
I A, thousand spears in battle line
Had pierced the hayward heart of France,
Rut still above the German Rhine
The Walkyrs held their august dance. g
He saw the sliding submarine
) Wrest the green triden from the hold
Of her whose craven tradesmen lean
On yellow men and yellow gold.
In labyrinths Of blood and sand
He watched ten Russian legions drown.
Unseen he shook the doughty hand
OF Hindenburg near Warsaw town.
The living felt his presence when,
Paternal blessing, he drew nigh,
And all the dead and dying men
Saluted him as he passed by.
But he rode back in silent thought, II
And from his great heart burst a sigh
Of thanks. "The master craftsman wrought
~ This mighty ediice, not I.
"No hostile hoof shall ever fall
Upon my country's sacred sod.
Though seven whirlwinds lash its wall,
1t stands erect, a rock of God.

Nor ask CT life a second lease.
MY spirit lives, though I be dead;
NY aching bones may rest in peace"
Up to his chin he drew the shroud
To wait Gods judgment patiently,
While high above a blood red cloud
Two eagles screamed of victory.
