Letter From a
P russian Girl
Sets Out That Prussians Are the
Chosen of the Lord and Cites
the Bible to Proy: II.

What the German schools incul-
cate into its pupils today, the
Fatherland will carry out tomor-
row. 1t was said that the German
chooimaster really made the war
against France in 1870. That the
same commanding influence is form
ing the visid IN of the yong German
mind today will be readily believed
in the light of the following re-
markable letter. written by Prus-
sian school girl of social standing,
20 French teacher friend in Switz-
erland. The letter was sent to the
Clearwater Republican by a lady
subscriber al Pierce, and we gladly
publish it because of it's vivid show
ing of the sentiment carried in the
minds of the young of Germany:
Frankfort-on-O Oder
goth July, 1876.
dy Dear Louise
The contents of your last letter
would have hurt me had l not
known that your thoughts of our
glorious wan resulted from sheer ig-
aorance. You are in country rem
dered effeminate by the influence
OF old fashioned ideas of liberty,
country which is at least two centu-
ries behind ours. You are in need
If good dose of Prussian culture.
1t is evident that you a Swiss girl.
with your French sympathies, can
not understand how my heart, the
heart of young German girl, pas
sionately desired this war. Speak
lng of ii, some years ago, my father
said to us children: Germany is
getting too small for us; we shall
have to go to France again in or
der to find more room" Is it our
fault if France will not understand
that more money and land are nee
esary for us?
War, Of Course
And you reproach us that our
soldiers have been very cruel to the
Belgian rabble, and you speak also
CT the destrcution of Rheims, and
of the burning of villages and
towns. We'll that is war. AS in
| every other undertaking, we are
pastmasters in art of making war.
You have a great deal to learn be-
| sore you can come up TO our stand
ard. and l can assure you that what
has been done SO far, is mere
hagatelle compared with what will
| follow. AS matter of fact, there
is but one race worthy of ruling
the world and which has already
attained the highest degree of civil
| liZation. That race is ours, the
Prussians, for though we Germans
in general are the lords of the
world, the Prussian is undoubtedly
the lord pa ar excellence among the
Germans. All the other nations and
among them unfortunately, the
Swiss are degenerate and of inferior
worth. That is why l have always
been so proud of being true Prus-
sian.
Adam As a Bosche
| Yesterday, again, or pastor eN-
planned to us. convincingly, that our
first parents Adam and Eve-were
also Prussians. That Is quite easy
to understand. because the Bible
tells us that the German God created
rs all after His own image. IT.
then, all men are descended from
Adam and his wife, 1t follows that
only Prusians. rat least Germans
ought to exist in the world. and
that all who push on and prosper
ought to belong to us. You must
! admit that that is why our motto il
God Win Us. Germany Above
/ EverythingP
You now know why we wished
this war Is ii not shameful thai
ether nations. who have 10 right
co existence on the earth, wish te
demolish our heritage? We are the
!irine fruit, and others are only
The weeds.
DO YOU understand that, now?
