July, the difference in kind between their
discomfort and that of the people will become
apparent.
''But, though the Bolsheviks will fail, Boil
shevjkism will persist as long as there are no
means for putting flesh on skeletons and
turning hunger into a patriotic citizen. In
England we bear no burden that can be COM
pared with that Of the Russian in Moscow or
Petrograd, where many food prices have risen
700 per cent and more. In England, 1t seem.
to me, food is given away. Moreover, patriot
ism In Russia before the revolution was dig
tcult for people who had nothing in particu-
lar to be patriotic about. It has not had
time to grow since
"These are the conditions that produce
Bolshevikism, and make it certain that what
ever government may form in the chaos it
will BIO for some time yet no more than the
crusting over Of the lava in a volcanic crater"

The Only Way to Civilize
Germany

WHAT Gilbert K. Chesterton would do
w with Germany he puts thus in his
paper, "The New Witness:
my point presupposes such a defeat Of
the German power as would permit de-
struction of what is called the German En-
pire. And this applies not merely TO an en-
pire in tho sense of On autocracy. but even
more to an empire in the sense Of unity. l
would make Germany what the German
phrase would make Italy: geographical
expression. would not hesitate to reduce
it again to the chaos of towns and tribes,
and to use the power Of the victors, for the
present, to forbid its reconciliation. Then,
indeed, do think there would be a chance
OF southern influences slowly making Ger
many civilized"

It Was Essential the Seed of War
| Fall Upon Favorable Ground

HIS view is, on the contrary, that "the
most aggressive imperialsts could not have
united the German people against the rest
CT Europe without moral pretext accept
able to the whole nation. This pretext has
been found in the German world-mission,
which the militant autocracy and the in
tellectuals have preached for quarter of
century. The two channels through
which especially official Germany has
worked to win the popular imagination to
policy of expansion have been the press
and the nations educational institutions"
The press, he found, fostered national
self-assertiveness and the idea of the
world-mission. But the German press is
not free press in free country; hence
it betrays confusion of thought ITO assert
that the German newspapers have been the
chief offenders in disappearing British
and French feeling toward Germany, or
In precipitating one international crisis
after another" But the doctrine OF
Greater Germany found its most effective
apostles in the schoolmasters and uni
versity professors. In this connection
deutschland lber Ahes,' known to
every boy and girl, have frequently
heard sung in the schools. The school
books all breathe an ardent national
ism I also recollect wildly other books,
widely read by the youth of both sexes, which
present the potentialitics of Germanism in
glowing colors, and contrast Germany's Gull
tural achievement with that of 'decadent'
nations, to the disparagement of the latter.
The university professors have done more
than any other body of men in the empire
to SOW the seed of an aggressive Deutschtum
in adolescent Germany. Their influence on
public opinion has been particularly sinister,
because not only military officers but thou
sands of students from the commercial mid
die class spend their most impressionable
years in the atmosphere of the university.
1--WE are sometimes told that the idea un-
DERIVING Prussianism is the creation of an
efficient machine. So it is; but such state
ment in itself explains little. No military
caste or bureaucracy ever created the Ger
man national spirit out of nothing. Innate
qualities, quite much as the enlightened
dcspotism' Of personal government, determine
the character of the German people, the most
scientific people in the world"

| he Mind and Mood of Germany TODAY

The attachment Of the Germans to their
country differs much from the type of
patriotism found in other lands. 1t is in
teresting to note that
"For Germans Deutschtuns is sentiment
for which it is not easy to fnd . parallel
elsewhere Tho fatherland is not the same
thing to a German that Ia rat,is is to =
Frenchman. 1t is something less and also
something more. The Germans patriotism Is
something very real. but it differs widely
from the Englishman's. The Germans are
members Of state, in a peculiar signifca-
ton of the term, and their sense of duty
means duty to the institutions in which Ger
manlsm finds expression. In the vanguard
CT the worlds material and intellectual prog
ress, yet Germans lack the will to freedom"
And the German attitude toward per-
sonal liberty? Well, this writer asserts:
II have also frequently heard German So
cialists exclaim: we don't want mere polti-
&C.; freedom; the masses have that in Eng
land and are no better off!' In the last re-
sort this expresses the whole disease Of Ger
many. The despotism which holds sway has
sunk into the soul Of the people. It is des-
potism Of peculisr kind, scientific and full
Of enorEy; it il a spirit pulsing through the
lifc-bl0od Of q nation"

The World Lined Up
i Against "Kultur'

Mr.. McLaren admits that there is much
truth in the claim of the Germans, per-
sistently put forward since 1914, that they
are misunderstood by the rest Of the world.
And the explanation is that Germany has
deliberately declared a cultural blockade
of the rest Of humanity" 1t is not wholly
true that the other nations are combined
against Prussian militarism; rather are
they combined against the Kultur en-
bodied in the collective will of the German
state, and Of which militarism is one fac
tor. The Germans admit that they are
disliked by the rest of the world, but this
dislike they attribute to their superior
virtues. From their point Of view this
explanation is substantially correct. No
other people possesses so high degree
Of organizing ability and plodding applica-
tion to work"
And what are the Germans fighting for?
Mr.. McLaren answers:

Press genting
in America
for "Kultur''
MAT the mental attitude Of the
American people toward Germany
- and n II thirora fsovroar, hae rha,,ered

and'alf things German has changed
greatly within q year is evident to the
most superficial observer. To get the best
measure of the change it is only neccs-
sary to look back into the propaganda lit
erature of German sympathizers that was
still being brought out here up to year
sgo. A product Of this character may be
selected in the shape Of little book by
Fritz Won Frantzius, who halls from Chi
cago and claims to be an American. He
calls his production "The Book of Truth
and Facts" A copy OF it, fifth edition,
enlarged SEVENTEEN thousand" published
by the author in 1916, has recently come
into the hands of The 2sss;ew, and it is
from this edition that subsequent quota
tons are made.
The book is veritable dumping ground
for the peculiar truths" of the German
propaganda with which the American
people were made only too familiar during
the first two years of the war. Won Frant-
zius contends it was England's jealousy of
Germany that constituted the "teal cause
of the war;" that England, France and
Russia "conspired to destroy Germany;
and that Belgium neutrality had been
broken by England, France and Belgium
herself even before the war Probably IL
is this last "fact" that supplies the author
with reason for asserting that Belgium
must be kept by Germany.
Here are his words cit would be I'M
wise for Germany to give up Belgium so
dearly fought for. Every inch of ground
added to the mother country means SO
much more strength for Germanys future
and correspondingly weakens her enc
miles," But the Chicago Pan-German APP
pears determined to qualify as member
of Tirpitz's "Fatherland Party" and so
he is not even satisfied with Belgium; Ger
many must also keep Russian Poland and
other territory which she occupies" His
explanation for that policy is characteris-
tcally German: This will insure peace
for many years to come and solve the
great peace question of to-day. What ma
tons would dare to attack greater Ger
many?" And then all the peace societies
could disband and devote their endow-
ments to proclaiming the blessings Of a
peace by "kultur" and the Juror teutoni-
GUS" which means, according to Won
Frantzius, "that empowering strength,
that irresistible strength, that rejuvenated
strength which other nations do not pos-
sess."

NACAATeT, VINO lived in GERMANY
curing the first year and half of the
war, shows in "The Atlantic Monthly
Tor December the general RESPONSIBILITIES
OF the German people for the war. He
rejects the efforts of many writer's to find
the cause of the war in single set of cir
cumstances, in the influence of anv single
group OF writer's, or any one political or
economic tendency. The war, on the
other hand, had many causes, and these
were complex. Nor are the German peo
pie to be exculpated in order to fasten re-
sponssbility solely upon their rulers.
Mr.. McLaren writes:
In England and France a good dea, has
reen written to fix the guilt upon some single
group OF German propagandists. Writers and
historians like Nictzsche, Tretschke and
bernhardi; military autocracy dominated
by an ambitious war-lord: university profess
sors; industrial magnates seeking to remedy
an economic situation which was heading for
financial collapse; the manipulators of a
press that Systematically perverted public
oplnlon-upon one or another of these groups
OF opponents of German ideals the RESPONSE
bll'ty for the cataclysm has been almost uni
'ersally fixed by newspapers and publcists in
the Allied countrics"
