Ny Dear Louise:
The contents OF your last letter
would have hurt me had ! not known
that your thoughts of our glorious
war resulted from sheer ignorance.
You are in a country rendered eff.
Terminate by the influence of old-fash-
Toned ideas OF liberty, a country which
Is at least two centuries behind ours.
You are in need Of a good dose of
Prussian culture.
II is evident that you. Swiss girl.
with your French sympathies, can not
understand how my heart, the heart OF
young German girl, passionately de.
sired this war. Speaking of it some
years ago, my father said to us: Chill
dren. Germany is getting too small for
us; We shall have to go TO France
again in order to find more room" Is
1t our fault II France will not under.
stand that more money and land are
necessary for US?
And you reproach us that our sol.
diers have been very cruel to the Bel
gian rabble, and you speak also of
the destruction of Reims, and OF the
burning OF villages and towns. Well,
that Is war. AS in every other under.
taking, we are past masters in the
making OF war.
You have a great deal to learn be
fore you can come up to our stand
ard. and can assure you that wha
has been done so far is a mere baga
telle compared with what will follow
AS a matter OF fact, there Is but one
race worthy of ruling the world. ant
which has already attained the high
est degree Of civilization. That race
Is ours, the Prussians; for tho We
Germans in general are the lords OF
the world. the Prussian is undoubtedly
the lord par excellence among the Ger
mans.
All other nations. and among them
unfortunately, the Swiss, are degener
ate and OF inferior worth. That Is
why l have always been so proud OF
being Q true Prussian.
Yesterday, again. our pastor explain,
ed to us convincingly that our first
parents. Adams and Eve, were also
Prussian. That Is quite easy to un,
derstand, because the Bible tells us
that the German God created us all
after his own image. IL, then. all men
are descended from Adam and his
wife, 1t follows that only Prussians, or
at least Germans, ought to exist in the
world. and thai all who push on and
prosper ought to belong to us. You
must admit that that is logic, and that
Is why our motto is. God with us.
Germany above everything"
You know now why we wished this
war. I" 1t not shameful that other
nations, who have no right to exist.
ence on the earth, wish to diminish
our heritage! We are the divine fruit.
and the others are only weeds. That
Is why our great emperor has decided
to put an end to all these injustices.
and to extirpate the weeds. Do you
understand that now?
l remain, your school friend.
