big war began 1t was not q secret that
If Franz JOeph, the emperor should
die, the Bohemians would demand

died when the war was on and when
no rebellion, parliamentary or mill

The Bohemian people at home were
dominated by the soldier garrisons,
and of course treason is dealt with
summarily in every country.

their men have been forced into the

a STRONG INDICTMENT
Against the Literature of Modern
Germany Made by Lieutenant
Governor w. 7. Morgan

Against the Literature of Modern
Germany Made by Lieutenant
Governor w. Y. Morgan
To the student of history there is
no more effective indictment against
the philosophy which dominates the
present German autocracy than Is
contained in the statement made by
Lieuenant-Governor w. Y. Morgan
Germans poet of a century ago
wrote some of the most spiritual and
freedom-loving songs and stories that
have ever been composed. Schiller's
''William Tell" was a masterpiece in
setting forth the love of liberty. But
for three generations there has not
been a poet in Germany who has had
the spirit or dared sing of human
rights.
"This indictment which I make
against the autocratic spirit of modern
Prussianized Germany is proven to
everyone who observes the change
from German spirit a century ago
and the materialistic philosophy whi"'
is all there is of modern German lit
erature."

nemlanS IeaQ the way.
Even the Germans IN Austria are
different from the Germans in Prus-
sia- They have never liked the kali
ser They are not IN on the 'skultur.' -
They are a kindly, industrious, reli-
giOus and pleasure loving people, who
never did want a war. They have not
been educated to militarism and their
stomachs are very weak when It
comes to sacrificing for something
that means nothing TO them
This Is Austria: One-third Is Ger
man, not liking the war; one-third
IS Bohemian, against the war and for
freedom, one-third Slav and other
natioBalities, not loyal to the govern
ment- 1t viii be a surprise to me If
the kaiser and King Karl can prevent
internal combustion from becoming a
conflagration and Austria being q la
bility to the German combination
rather than an asset. Only strong
arm methods can hold down the BO-
hemians, and the time VIII come when
these methods will fail W. Y.
