And YOU reproach us that our soldiers
have been very cruel to the Belgian
rabble. and YOU speak also of the des-
trction of Reims, and of the burning
If villages and towns. Well that is
war. AS in every other undertaking, we
are past masters in the making of war
You have great deal to learn be-
feye YOU can come up to our standard,
and can assure you that what has been
done so far is mere bagatelle compared
With what will follow.
As a matter of fact, there is but one
. race worthy of ruling the world, and
which has already attained the highest
degree of civilization. The race is ours,
the Prussians; for tho we Germans I'M
general are the lords of the world. the
prussian is undoubtedly the lord par
excellence among the Germans.
All other nations, and among them,
unfortunately, the Swiss, are degenerate
and OF inferior worth. This is why i
have always been so proud of being a
true Prussian.
Yesterday, again, our pastor explained
to us convincingly that our first par
ents Adam and Eve, were also Prus-
sian. That is quite easy to understand
because the Bible tells us that the Ger
mans God created us all after his own
image. If, then, all men are descended
from Adam and his wife, it follows that
only Prussians, or at least Germans
ought to exist in the world, and that
all who push on and prosper ought to
belong to us. You must admit that that
is logic, aud that is why our motto
is. Good with us, Germany above every
hing
You know now why we wished thi'
war. Is it not shameful that othe1
nations, who have no right to existence
on the earth wish to diminish oul
heritage! We are the divine fruit, anC
the others are only weeds. That il
why our great Emperor has decided t.
put an end to all these injustices, anC
TO extirpate the weeds. Do you under
stand that now?
