the kaiser didn't actually start the
war. he might very easily have
aveTted it. But such suggestions
were usually advanced in~ muffied
tones and where one was safe in
speaking, and they received little
consideration.
How the press managed to satisfy
the people that everything was going
well, even when the outlook was
most dismal, can be explained only
by the deep faith which the people
had in everything they read.
With the capture of Serbia and Ru-
mania. for instance. the people had been
promised that most Of their food and
raw material troubles would be effect
ually disposed of. Rumanta. they had
been told, had the largest oil fields in
the world, as well as vast food re-
sources; while Serbia was the most pro-
ductive agricultural section and had the
largest copper mines in the world. The
realization that no such relief as had
been promised was forthcoming came to

Kaiser Idol Of People.

I know that whenever the kaiser
called at my office great crowds gath
cred outside to catch a. glimpse of
him when he came out. They waited
patiently. sometimes for as long as an
hour, for the sake of greeting their
emperor. Their conduct on these oc-
casions showed very plainly that he
had strong hold on their affections.
The kaiser was their idol, and they
were ready to suffer any inconven-
ience for the sake of doing him honor.

It was a fact that. while the Germans
never ceased complaining Of their enc
mics using American firearms and mu-
nitions, every German officer who could
lay his hands on an American revolver
used 1t as a side arm.
Another high military officer who had
seen service on the Russian front told
me that the Siberian sharpshooters had

How Papers Fooled People.

The press was used to excellent ad-
vantage to conceal reverses and to
make the utmost capital out Of sue
cesses. Right from the start the
newspapers declared that Germany
was fighting a defensive war: that
the nations of the world had jumped
on Germany's neck because they were
jealous of her growing power.

thoughtful were led to inquire why it
was that the Germans were con-

GERMAN PEOPLE IDOLLZE KAISER:
WILLING SLAVES, DIR. DA Wis SAYS

nothing Is another national trait of the
dermans, II my observation has been
accurate. What is commonly referred
TO as German thrift is only polite
name Tor German stinginess. and have
seen SO many illustrations Of the petty
meanness Of the German people that it
seems idle to specify single instances.
Just by way of example, however, I
may mention a particularly atrocious
case OF this common failing among the
Germans. One Christmas I presented
my wife with set Of furs and had
them sent to the house of friend.
where my wife was staying for the holi-
lays. afterward learned that my
wires hostess had ferreted out the
name Of the sfurrier from whom had
purchased the furs and had demanded q
commission" on the sale!
One of the first Impressions I received
about the German people when l went
to live among them fourteen years ago
was the lack Of comradeship among
them. Class distinctions are drawn SO
nne, and there are so many gradations
that it was almost impossible to find
two Germans on the same social plane.
One was always the others superior.
After my fourteen years experience
among these people l cannot say that
that early impression has been removed;
II anything, it has been deepened.
Military Spirit Everywhere.
Another early impression that has
remained with me was the prevalence
OF the military spirit in civil life. 1t
was evidenced by an atmosphere Of
oppression, which was perhaps more
imaginary than real. but which was
most appreciable just the same. Prac-
tically every public official was a
soldier. His military bearing and
outlook colored his every act, and
the civilian always felt more or less
at disadvantage in dealing with
him.
This state of affairs was brought
about by the fact that while every
male German is supposed to serve
two years in the army. unless he
passes the higher examination for
the one-year service. many serve an
additional ten years. and thereby be-
come entitled to position for life
in the civil serviee-the police. fire.
railroad, telegraph, post office, tax,
customs or some other similar gov
ernmental department. The great
majority of these officers are army
veterans, and they never allow the
civilian to forget it
Any one who has lived in Berlin,
and Is familiar with conditions in
other European capitals, will bear
me out that the German policeman
is the most arrogant police official in
court in preference to that of six
civilians. and his power is such that
1t might very easily be used oppres-
sively: but strangely enough, despite
the cupidity Of the German character,
graft and corruption among the Ger
man police and other officials were
practically unknown before the war.
