A WRATH THAT WILL LIVE

What a heritage of wrath the kaiser and his crowd are pill
ing up against the German people-against the people, we say,
because long before time will have brought forgetfulness those
responsible for it will have passed away. And the German
people, through generations yet unborn, will bear the odium of
the ruthlessness that has characterized the military and naval
campaigns of the kaiser on land, on sea and from the sky.
If it was the German desire to destroy whatever shreds of
sympathy for the cause of autocracy still fingered in odd cor
ners of civilization the deliberate sinking of hospital ships will
serve.
In a Hague treaty signed by Germany the safety of Such
now has always been respected they are conspicuously painted
and well lighted at night and fly the Red Gross flag. These
lawful precautions have not safeguarded British hospital ships
from submarine attack, but have made it easier, more certain
and deadly.
In their purposed and avowed torpedoing of vessels bear
ing helpless and suffering men the Germans have sunk many,
including one which bore not only 23f British wounded, but
i67 of their own men. Accustomed to the ruthlessness of their
officers, these Germans became panic-stricken, evidently fear
ing that they might be abandoned. This made rescue difficult,
but the valor with which British seamen have ever worked to
save life did not fail. All but fifteen of the Germans were
saved, while of the British wounded and the crew nineteen per-
ished.
The murder of hostages, the deportation of French and Bel
the nameless offenses against humanity and decency in occu-
pied lands had well defined German Kutur. But it has won
fresh laurels now; hereafter hospital ships must go unmarked
and at night unlighted. The wounded, Germans and British to-
gether, are safer so than under the flag of mercy the world has
been taught to honor. In the day of reckoning this will not be
forgotten.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-05-12
THE MEANING OF KAISERISM

The Tribune has often wondered whether the American
whose sympathies ran to the fatherland as against France and
her allies in the present strugge-the Tribune has often won
dered. before America joined in the defense against kalserlsm,
whether they had seriously reflected upon what the triumph
pf kaiserism would mean to them and the rest of the world
or to that part of the world where the people ruled and where
no man can say, in the language of the kaiser, You must all
have one will, and that is My will: there is only one law, and
that is My law"
The Tribune recently reprinted an excerpt from a speech
Of The kaiser delivered more than ten years ago and quoted
bv one of his friends and admirers, Professor Karl lessen OF
Irvn Maur college. in an article contributed to the Americana
and which will be found in volume seven of that work.
We are reproducing today an editorial by the dean OF
American journalism, Colonel Henry Waterson, recently pub
IiSlod in the Louisville Courier Journal. The editorial con-
tains two other excerpts from more recent speeches of the
These expressions from the kaiser are not open to
question. because they are taken from reports of the kalsers
speeches as published in the newspapers of Germany; and
these German newspapers are on file in at least one hundred
American libraries. where the doubter can readily verify them
should he So desire.
There may be those who have questioned the wisdom of
Colonel Watrrson for having adopted the slogan. ITO He'll
with the HohenzoIIerns and the 4%Iapsburgs." but Mr.. Watterson
in a recent editorial, disavovs any intentional ~blasphemy and
iustifes quite completely his adoption of the slogan in reply
and suggested that he adopt something milder in tone.
But it isn't the question of blasphemy that the Tribune is
discussing: it is the question of Kaiserism and its significance,
and nobody has put it so we'll or so forcibly as Colonel Wat
trrson has done in the article we are reprinting today.
