One hundred fifty years ago
there was nowhere in the world
a group Of people speaking the
same language and having the
same national origin who had SO
little union in national life as
had the German people. Yet to-
day the Empire seems like a
bolt of forged steel every fiber
Of which fully understands that
in union and in union only, are
strength and victory. Those
who first wrote of the German
people found them a disunited
people whose chief pursuits
seemed to be drinking and fight
ing their neighbors or if they
could find no occasion for fight
ing their neighbors, fighting each
other.
Then Germany conquered
Rome and Rome dazzled the Ger
mans by its system Of world gov
ernment. Here was born the
idea of one king for the Germans
who should in time become EN-
peror Of the world. This idea
grew into the Holy Roman EN-
pire with the German Emper-
or" at the head. This Empire
gained ground until the time Of
the Hapsburgs when its dignity
declined. Quarrels arose, states
were divided and subdivided
and finally after the French Re-
volution this Empire ceased to
be.
Though the Empire had fal-
len yet the German spirit was
alive and strong. There was one
German language but . great
number Of small states each jeal-
Gus of the other.

The German Empire
Paper Which Was Read by Miss Hoagland, One Of the
the Teachers in the Askov Public Schools at
a Recent Meeting of the Young
Peoples Society in Askov.

The two leading and rival
states were the Kingdom Of
Prussia and the Empire Of Aus
tria. Austria had the presidency
Of the German Confederation
and exercised control over the,
smaller German states.
Prussia, altho classed as one
of the fine great Powers Of
Europe, was weak and impov-
erished and had lost heart be-
cause of the Napoleonic wars.
Il was fifty years before Prussia
had spirit to contest the primo.
cy Of Austria.
In 1866 King William made
Bismark his chief adviser and
support. He came Of an obscure
family in the Junker class, but
was the one German who at that
time understood the cause Of his
country's weakness and could
contrive a remedy for IT, He
saw that Austria was in control
OF too many Germans outside her
boundaries and decided to smash
Austria. To do this he insxi-
tuted universal military service.
The Landtag of Prussia objected
to this and absolutely refused 70
vote the necessary taxes. but
his Majesty, upon Bismarck 5 ad-
vice. forced it upon them and
levied the tax without . vote.

slams and Austrians took Schles- I
