STA 8 ylel0eO trength and
national prosperity. And when abso-
lutism was confirmed in Prussia the
ethics OF absOlutism was confirmed also.
Absolutism, in theory government by
one man. is In practice government by
a limited, powerful, and highly trained
class. Destroy the immediate hold Of
that class on influence and power, and
your government Is gone. Now the Ger.
man idea of government is that of the
Prussian state. with its benevolent au-
t6cracy and its docile people. In the
German statesman's mind the first OF
popular virtues is docility. The gov
eminent OF Alsace- Lorraine and that Of
the eastern Marches Of Prussia. as
sketched in Won Bulow's Imperial Ger
many" perfectly illustrates this. In
Germany the people are not the foun-
tain OF power. II the government We're
destroyed, the people could not ~recreate
It. because it did not come from them
in h first place.. It came down from,
above, from the superior class.
In q democratic country like ours the
reinoval OF h entire official class, root
and branch. would not change the ma
ture OF the government. The people
would elect a new set OF officials and
go on as before, for the governing ideas
reside with the people, and officials are
mere Instruments. But In Germany
as every reader OF former Chancellor
von Bulow well knows-the governing
ideas do not come from the people. and
sit the governing class were removed
the basis OF government would go with
them.
All theories OF the conduct Of war are
based ON the safeguarding OF the cen
ter ana fountain Of power. II the peo-
PIE are the fountain OF power, then the
people ought to be safeeuaried first

1t. His letter is as follows:
I'm our state there is a piece of
land which was set aside some four
years ago as a power site by the gov
eminent. 1t contains about ia acres.
Some of this Is half a mile from, the
river or further. There is about 40

there is hunger in the world. II work
