Hun Soldiers Told
Series of Fables to
Keep Them Going

The German soldiers on the west
front have been told they are fight
ing for the Flanders coast, the coal
and iron mines of France and a
thoroughly German peace, includ-
ing the colonization of the conquer
ed Russian provinces on the east.
A sort of political catechism has
been found on captured and killed
Germans. Diplomatic dispatches
yesterday recounted the discussion
in the Reichstag concerning It.
The document was read by deputy
Norske. The minister of war de-
MED knowledge OF IL. But Mat
thias Ertz Berger, the centrist
leader, promptly asserted that only
four weeks ago he had handed It to
the minister. Typical excerpts from
the chatechism are: --- -.. PEI
Democracy is the worst of all
regimes.
"The democratic parties in Ger
many wanted us to conclude a
shameful peace.
Money is the handspring Of de-
mocracy. Liberty. Equality and
cloaks an association of
brigands. Parlia-
ments are shops for gossips,
"a true German peace will give
us for colonization Courland and
Lithuania, part of Poland, the coal
and iron mines in the west and the
coast of Flanders
