DR.. RANDOLPH Tells
OF HUN HISTORY
Traces Hohenzollerniism
from Birth in MiIitarism to
Present Day Savagery
ANXIOUS FOR PEACE
WITH ANNEXATIONS

The development Of the Pan-Ger-
manic idea was traced by Dr. Herbert
f. Randolph, Of Grace NJ. E. Church,
before the Social Service Club last
night, at their dinner at Hanna's Cafe.
He told Of the rise Of the House Of
Hohenzollern from rulers Of a small
tract OF country surrounding the little
town Of Berlin, 10 its present extent.
In the time OF Frederick the Great, ST.
Tesla was wrenched from Austria and
the partition Of Poland began.
Under William the First and his
chancellor. Bismarck Schleswig and
Holstein were conquered. and Alsace
and Lorraine Austria was brought un-
der Prussian control.
1T cannot be denied that as things
stand the plans for a Prussianized Cen
tral Europe have succeeded 10 a re-
markable degree.
Austria has become the vassal cf
Prussia, dependent upon her for exis-
tence. Her armies are but tools IN the
hands Of German officers. Eager for
peace, she dare not ask for 10 until the
Kaiser gives the word. The worst
enemy of Austria Is not Russia but
Prussia, II this war IS won by Ger
many there will be no Austria. To an
even greater degree Bulgaria and Tur-
key have become vassals Of the Hohen-
zollern state, taking their direct orders
from Berlin

thirds Of Rumania Is in the hands Of
Prussia, Serbia Is a graveyard, and the

liberties Of the world are won"
