REAL JUNKER IS
A HUN H|GHbROW
Term Originally Applied to Young
Countrymcn of Aristo-
cratic. Lineage.

| According to Herr Bamberger, "a
Junker dung HERR or Younker, is
essentially the scion of noble house

! to military servIce--a mixture of Charlie g
l. Cavalier, Prussian lieutentant, Ger
man fe,idal lord and Spanish Don Quxote
In Prussia the term was originally
applied to cadets of the noblesse, and
to young country gentleman who acted
as ensigns and did other squirely duties;
while Junkerthum or Junkerism grad
ually came to denote the social qualities
which distinguished this class family
pride probably deepened by poverty
-reactionary conservatism and arrogant
caste demeanor
In lS4S the word was applied by the
liberals in a practical sense to- the high
Prussian or Conservative party, mainly
composed of the reactIonary landed
gentry, who loathed the very name
of the reform. Monmsen in his history
of Rome speaks of the narrow-mind-
edness and short-sightedness as the real
and inalienable privileges of all genuine
Junkerthum.
In his history Of Germany, Menzel
says the youthful warriors Of the an
cient Germans were called Huns; that
they took n mutual pledge as brethren
IN arms and elected a leader by raising
him on a shield These Huns were dc
voted to war, and pledged TO death
War was their business and their pleas

In his chapter on the ancient Ger
