How much longer Is tho German

undeveloped children 10 whom the
most stupid nursery tales can be
told. Imagine It, Prussia as the
cradle OF the ideal OF duty-the Prus-
STA OF staggering Junkerdom.
IL was in this Same Prussia that
the junkers proved themselves to
be the champions ~ the most out
rageous form OF that materialisn
which they now hypocritically de-
nounce in others. They proved II
when they callously robbed the
Prussian pcasantry Of their lands
and their all to establish on the
stolen property tho foundations of
their feudal domains.
Among the masses Of the German
people the aspiration is growing
constantly for a morally higher
ideal OF duty toward the state and
toward the people than that OF the
present day, but from the lips OF
the 1ordly caste. which is determ-
