Hohenzollerns' ancestral home IN
the Swabian Alps. simple German
peasants whispered among them
selves and shook their heads know
inpiv. For, folk lore had ordained IN
their own generation. and many
preceding it, that once the eagles
took wing from above the castle
wali, then the Hohenzollerns were
to fall The honest expectations OF
those simple German peasants has
been realized.
Today the kaiser and the family
have been stripped of all power, the
emperor himsef fleeing to escape
the chaos which his own hand and
sword have wrought throughout the
world and in his own land; the peo-
pies of Germany have taken upon
themselves the burden of their own
government and allied nations,
AGAINST whose principles OF inter
national righteousness the aonen-
zoIIern sword was drawn, TO-DAY
stand supreme in glorious victory.
