Made No Secret.


While in Germany made no secret
OF my opinion in private conversation
and many Of ms business friends; all
men in influential positions, heartily
endorsed them. but when / asked them
to suit the action to the word and TO
proclaim openly with me that the Ger
man government was alone RESPONSE
bic for the war they shrank back in
fear and said, II is none OF our bust
ness. We cannot risk offending the
authorities. Besides, we are making
more money through the war than we
ever dreamed Of making before.
Take a man like Herr BALM, the Di-
rector OF the Hamburg American line,
He was good personal friend OF mine
have had many talks with him about
the war and he always expressed per-
fectIy sensible ledas. But / could new
er induce him to act UP TO them. His
great fear was to lose the Kaiser's
favor An autograph letter from the
Kaiser makes him fairly burst with
pride. and he fears If he should write
or say anything at variance with the
orthodox Prussian war doctrine. the
Kaiser would not write him any more
letters TO show his friends. With the
workingmen IL is the same. miser-
able medal OF decoration for faithful
services converts him in a trice from
Socialism to monarchism and the pros
pect of higher wages. better food and
fewer taxes reconciles him with the
idea OF new frightful offensives. an
nexations and war indemnities.
Teutons Cannot Stand Defeat.
Success or the conviction OF success
rouses all the brutal appetites which
militarism has for years scientifically
bred in the German people. Only re-
verses of fortune can drive this pois-
on out OF their system. And the Ger
mans are different in this also from
the Western nations. They cannot
bear defeat nor long endure the same
horrors Of war they gIeefully bring up
on Others. Berlin would have cried
FOR mercy long ago II II had been bomb
ed like Paris and London.
No. The Germans cannot stand much
beating. They are bullies and will give
in surprisingly soon once the fortune
OF war turns against them. II the
German people can be made to under
stand that attacks like the present Of
fensive Of France will not bring them
wealth. power and prosperity. but, on
the contrary, more misery. heavier tax
es and commercial ostracism even af-
ter the war. they viii refuse to fight
on any longer. But their mind is OPP
en- only to materialistic arguments and
all idealistic appeals to their con-
science and sense OF honor are abso-
lutely vain. 1t is painful for me to say
this of my own countrymen but it is
the truth-Cincinnati Enquirer.
