ordered that revolutionary and unpatriotic
ideas within the families and the army be
suppressed Listen, even within the fami-
lies. Then the order goes on:
The exchanged prisoners of war who
return to the reserve units of the army
must with especial care be educated in pa
trotism. That applies not only to the pris-
oners who come back from Russia, but also
to all returning prisoners of war, and es-
pecially to those who come back via the ox-
change station Constanz Special stress
must be laid on the history of the father
land, Of the German army and navy the en-
inent services rendered to the German ma
ton by the imperial and the other ruling
families, the many advantages of our con-
stituton and the gross disadvantages of the
political systems Of our enemies'
II don't know if the lessons regarding the
advantages of our constitution and the dis
advantages of the political systems of our
enemies are designed to show how glorious
the Prussan electoral system is and how
it must cause the other nations to be jeal-
Gus.
What the politically unreliable have to
expect may be seen from the following pas
sage of the order: Politically unreliable
persons must be watched very carefully
Whoever is not iInperialistic, militaristic,
monarchistic, whoever does not think like
our high military officers, who. without ex-
ception, fight for imperialism and reaction OF
every description, is rega rded as politically
unreliable and is very carefully watched.
They are kept away from the other soldiers,
with whom they have fought and suffered
The order also provides that the police au-
thorities be notified before the 'unrelable'
are discharged from the army So you see
that followers of radical parties, especially
Socialists, and even liberals, are placed on
probation by the police when they come
home from the war. Such is the thanks the
men will get for what they have suffered
and endured"
