Who Rules Germany?
By c. S SLICHTER, Professor of Mathematics.
University of Wisconsin
Published under direction of Defense

The existence of the Reichstag in a
system like this makes necessary a
factory of public opinion. Among the
most effective pieces of machinery in
this factory are the school, the church,
and the press All teachers and cler-
gymen are government employees, de
pendent for promotion. in the end,
upon the crown. AS for the press, an
au-powerful government with anti
quated press law in one hand, and
favors which mean the difference be-
tween success and failure In the 9TH

mon herd" just the information which
the higher classes" think proper
The system works perfectly, as is
shown by the fact that when the gov
eminent dissolves the Reichstag be-
cause it refuses to be good, the cleo
tons always return a tame and obedi.
ent majority.
The perfection of German aristoc-
racy Is seen in the fact that this
scheme of organization Is not confined
TO governmental matters, but Is extend
ed to the Industrial system and to the
social system as well. The big indus
tries are organized In "cartels" or
trusts, wherein the strong tend to rule
the weak as in feudal state. The
nobility and even royalty are heavily
interested in Big Business The
Reichsbank, the great Imperial Bank,
stands as a sort of Bundesrat over the
whole industrial system, just as the
political Bundesrat controls the polit-
lcal destiny of Germany. The State
Railways and the great steamship
companies At into the scheme like
cogs in a wheel. sort OF military In
dustrialism which Is feeding on the
working classes and on the middle
classes of Germany.
The German social system is as
much caste" system and is as full
of feudalism as the political system.
The working man, 1t is true, is well
cared for by the State. He is pro
tected In life and limb and well
housed The State sees that he has
music and entertainment, and II gives
financial backing to insurance and
pensions. Nevertheless, the working
classes are In class by themselves.
The common schools provided for the
children OF the workingran lead no
where, except to a life like the chill
dren's parents. Beyond the public
elementary school there is no high
school leading to the University and
TO the professions. The children Of
the middle and upper classes are
| sohooled in the Gymnasium, where
| tuition is charged, and which leads 70
tho University and TO the professions.
The higher government officials also
come from this class. This means
that all positions requiring more than
an elementary school education are
practically closed to the common PEG
pie.
The German workingman is not a
slave as In olden days, but there is left
enough of the caste system to make
him think at times that perhaps he
should be classed with the chattels OF
" realm and not with It's free citi.

are very strongly woven the best ones

from 100 to $50 feet in length ana

A HERO EVERY DAY.

1t was the night of June T. 1918.
In the town of Bouresches. France,
taken that day from the Germans,
dog-tired United States Marines un-
der Captain Randolph T. Zane were
awaiting the counter-attack they felt
sure must come. And they were
right. Preceded by a heavy machine
gun fire, the Hun infantry advanced
against the town. But Captain Zane
was ready for them. A human da-
namo of energy, of fearlessness and
GOODNESS, he set personal example
of heroism for his men that inspired
those tired marines to super-human
things, Germany wanted that town.
Germany was willing her men die
in droves if necessary-that
Bouresches be recaptured. But
against Germany was pitted Captain
Randolph T. Zane and his United
States Marines. Line after lines OF
the advancing hordes went down, but
the rest ploughed forward, expecting
every moment that the Marines would
weaken and retreat. Within 30 feet
of the town, the Hun morale broke.
The counter-attack was spent.
Captain Zane had won his night.
More than that, he had won the Dis
tinguished Service Cross, which was
awarded him for his gallantry.
