Today We Celebrate
Anniversary of Bhsmarck's Birth

Anniversary of Bhsmarck's Birth
Today Is the 1O3rd anniversary OF
the birth of Otto Edward Leopold,
Prince Won Bismarck-Schoenhua
the creator Of the modern German
Empire. The Iron Chancellor ranks
with Napoleon among the most pow.
erful and commanding figures OF
modern times, and the Teuton and
Corsican resembled each other IN
their boundless ambition, their utter
ruthlessness and their supreme con-
tempt for men Of lesser stature.
Both claimed to be friends OF peace
while laboring to build up war ma
chimes which would enable them 10
crush all opposition and grind weak
er nations beneath their iron heels
In personality and expression of their
boundless ambition the Corsican and
the German differed widely. Napo-
leon was small, Bismarck huge of
stature; Napoleon was diplomat,
the Iron Chancellor was frank to the
verge of brutality; and, for all his
contempt for human life when his
personal aggrandizement was at
stake, Napoleon was much less cruel
than Bismarck, to whom all appeals
| for mercy and compassion always fell
on deaf ears.
Authorities disagree as to the date
of Bismarcks birth, but the date
usually accepted is April /, 1915. All
Fools Day seemed an appropriate
date in Bismarck's youth, for at the
universities he excelled only as q
| hard drinking, swashbuckling duelist,
and was considered to be mentally
deficient Bismarck himself said.
later in life: lit was q great while
before my poor mother could be per-
suaded that, in Matching me, she had
not mothered a goose" After his
college days were over he became a
"junker" or country squire.
His marriage marked the turning
point of his career. He gave up his
boisterous ways and devoted himself
to politics. AS the head of the Prus-
sian cabinet he defied the wishes of
Parliament and people and prepared
strong army, which he used to
crush Denmark and Austria. His
successes turned the tide, and from
the most hated, he became the most
popular man in Germany. After the
war with France he used his power
| to create the German empire. He
remained the power behind the
throne until Wilhelm H., the present
emperor, succeeded to the crown.
| The two soon quarreled and in 1890
Bismarck retired to private life. He
died &. 1898.
All of his life Bismarck was the
foe Of democracy and he was the real
| founder Of that militarism which the
world is fighting today.
