as outlined in a political catechism

Erbgerger replied that he had de-
livered a copy of the pamphlet to
the minister several weeks ago.
The catechism which was distrib-

military authorities" the dispatch
said, contains such sentences as
these:
Democracy is the worst OF all
regimes. The democratic parties of
the Reichstag wanted to force us by
means of strikes and seditions to
sign a shameful peace. Money is the
handspring of democratic regime. The
motto, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity
