self-respect.
I'm twenty years time the German
people will curse the parties who
boast of having made the revolution"
A true word and terribly grave,
spoken by a social democrat to his
fellows. t
The present fate of the German
PEOPLE is Concluded by the peace
The future lies dark before us, the
only bright spot being the acts Of the
men of Scapa Flow.
His Three Commandments,
All disillusions have vanished, mob
suggestion begins to fall We look
Unto nothingness. Self deception, emp
ty words, hope from others or hope in
phantoms, lip courage. bringing vain
promises for the future and weakness
in the present; all these will never
help US. as they have never helped
US in the past.
Something different is needed.
Fearless thinking and manly actions
from each one of us. and at the same
time unselfish submission and the
sinking of the ego in national discip-
line are what we require, That alone
can restore our national dignity,
whose recovery is a condition prece-

That is the first commandment.
Love Of home, love of the daily task,
devotion to work and tire eas energy
in creation, Industrious labor, free
activity for our economic life, coupled
with consideration for ones neighbor,
the cooperation in full confidence OF
rich and poor, of hand and head, in
the same duty to work. and freedom
for honorable work, are the basis of
German wealth and the conditions of
our revival That is our second com

Devoted to DUTY. honest and sin

the third commandment. The saying
Of Fichte, that to be a German and
to have character are synonyms be-

the truth. only so can We recover
our self-respect. which alone can win
us that of others.
Learn Again to BE Germans"

the Germans find themselves again.
Such action win help us once again to
win ourselves a country and to fill
ourselves country. and to fill our
selves with the old selfless patriotism,
which gives us strength to live--and,
if fate demands, to die as the heroes
of this great struggle have debtor
our Ideals, for all that is Germany,
for the prosperity and security of our
German home, and for her restoration
to strength,
In the four years of war our people
did mighty deeds. an eloquent testi-
mony to their indwellug strength,
that today has been destroyed by the
revolution. A people of such achieve

the letters that ii has laid upon ieself;

their responsibility like the generals
at the front, TO lead it. firm of will
and tenacious of their aim, and to
restore the sunken national life and
inspire it with fresh and powerful en-

that is best in the nation, will unite
all our creative forces in great crea-
