The best name for the German idea
of government is that applied by for
mcr Chancellor Won Buelow in his
book Imperial Germany" He calls
Germany a Military State" There is
no more descriptive name than this.
Germany has a Parliament or Beichs-
tag, to be sure, but the ReiChstag has
no real control over the Army Sup
plies are voted years in advance, and
taxes once levied continue to be col
lected without the consent of Parlia-
ment-its consent Is only necessary
for new taxes. The Chancellor is not
responsible to the Reichstag, but Is
appointed by the Emperor, and the
Emperor appoints whom he pleases.
The Foreign Minister and the other
officers that In this country would be
cabinet officers, are not responsible to
Parliament but are responsible to the
Chancellor But the Army Is not re-
sponsible to the Chancellor lit Is the
strong right arm of the Emperor alone.
The General Stan is the STAFF of the
Emperor IL is the most powerful
group of men in Germany. Their plans
are secret and they cover years-even
scores OF years ahead. No wonder
that Won Buelow calls Germany a
Military state"
Besides the Emperor and Parlia.
ment Germany is governed by the
Bundesrat, or Council of the Empire
OF which we in America hear very lit

than the Reichstag, of which we hear

"They attempt to tame men as they
attempt to tame animals" says Lieb-
knecht.
A civilian, when he has to deal with
an officer, is in even worse plight At
Zabern, a colonel locked up thirty
civilians Including a judge) for "a
hours in a cellar, to make them prop
erly respect the uniform! On trial he
was acquitted lin spite OF an over
whelming protest from the powerless
Reichstag), and the Crownprince sent
him his congratulations Numberless
cases are cited OF civilians run through
by officers whom they happened to
jostle in the street. OF ladies forced to
surrender their seats in street cars TO
officers, or pushed off the sidewalk
into the mud by uniformed gentle
men"
After his army service, the work
man, back at his job, has longer
hours and poorer pay than almost any
other European workingman. AS re-
suit, 55 per cent Of the workmen's
families in Berlin live in a single room,
according to Ambassador Gerard.
If the laborer does not like his
wages of course he can strike, but he
must not forget that the Kaiser once
proposed, on his own initiative, law
making strikes punishable by three to
FIVE years of penal seryitude. Against
sickness, unemployment, and desti-
tuition in old age the government
shrewdly protects him, in part, Of
course, at his own expense. He will
have to pay a large share of his slen-
der savings into the governments in
surance fund-and, if he should ever
leave the country he will lose all he
has paid in There's a reason, 1t is
an indirect method of restoring sert-
dom and of imprisoning the German
within the bounds of his own country
so that he and his children may fur
nish the Kaiser a generous supply Of
cannon fodder.
The German-American who loves
freedom and the blessings of peace
cannot therefore love a system. which
is the deadly foe of both. "Kultur' ,
says celebrated German writer
Thomas Mann, lis a spiritual organi-
cation of the world, which does not
exclude bloody savagery Ii raises the
demonic to sublimity. 1t is above mo
rality, reason and science" Since this
picture of German imperialism is only
too true. Is it astonishing that it holds
out little attraction to anyone who
knows it for what it is, Is it astonish-
ing that many a German-American,
who has gone back to pass his old age
in the fatherland which he had left as
a youth, has found life there so mar
row and freedom so restricted that
he has after a short time come back
again TO land whore the common man
enjoys full political liberty and finds
every business and social opportunity
open to him and his children?

MEMORIAL DAY

AT first, Memorial Day was a
day Of memories. The graves OF
the brave men who gave their lives
in the Civil War were decorated
with flowers, a sign that grateful
people had not forgotten the su-
preme sacrifice these men made.
Now we are come to time when
Memorial Day can be, and should
be, cousecrated anew; when we
may look back with reverence upon
the victories past and forward with
courage and determination to a
victorious future.
Let usmake the day a time when
we renew our declaration of 10y
atty to the great cause Of which
our country has been the foremost
champion-the cause Of human
liberty.
We shall do our daily work,
whatever it may be, with a better
spirit, if we keep that idea before US
