Schnitzler had but one recourse
to resign from the army. This ne
did. The army lost doctor and
literature won a great artist.
This episode is characteristic OF
the whole epoch of the life which
has just died before our very eyes;
The lieutenant, that is, the sword
and all the other war implements,
which were the last symbols OF
that governing class, led to the
greatness and to the destruction
of Germany and of Austria.
There are feminine nations and
there are masculine nations. The
people of Ibsen and Of Strindberg
IS masculine people: it creates;
it spreads ideas; it seeks and
struggles with an honest ideal;
it conquers the world; just as
man of our own time conquers
woman-with his high spirit.
Former Germany was woman.
She acquired luxury, riches, splen-
dor through a man-her heuten-
ant. So do women gain automo-
biles, expensive toilettes, lavish
dinner, soft bed. 1t is apparent
that a woman must often pay tor
these things with her honor:
Her Lieutenant also demanded
his price. And thus Imperialism
grew up in Central Europe, and
50 the great ingenious spirits OF
Germany were barely tolerated IN
the circles of the former Ger
many.
Now the German lieutenant has
ended his brilliant career. His
Changing sword was taken away
from him, and he himself was left
impotent. His mustache, which
was formerly proudly and haught-
lily twisted up, has now hopeless
lv dropped. He is, alas, no longer
a hero. He is hungry; he works
in some bank for low wages; he
has become old; and possibly has
ended his life somewhere just as
Wilhelm's son ended his.
Germany has become a widow;
Germany has lost her lover. No
more costly automobiles; van
ished the sumptuous toilettes.
The enamoured lady stealthily
wiped the tears from her eyes, put
on a reserved black dress-black
not so much because of mourn
ing, as because it is easier to
carry the coal, which she was
commanded at Spa, to the house
of the Allies, in black dress.
Life has come unto its own. Ger
many has not died. Germany will
not die. She is still young. How

ocle on his eye, and cigar be-
tween his teeth. So loudly did
he bang his sword that its clang
could be heard far and wide. That
could have meant literally and
symbolically that the changing,
flashing sword of the German
lieutenant, when he was walking
on the Berlin streets, was also
heard in Paris, London, Petro-
grad, and even in Toxic.
And there men with keen ears
sat and ever listened to every
step of the German lieutenant.
When this German lieutenant
was promenading on Kurfursten-
damn, or on Unter-den Linden,
and plain civilian approached
him, politely bowed, removed his
hat and said, "Will it please you
to give me light" the German
lieutenant handed him his burn
ing cigar, and then after the civ
ilian lighted from it, he threw 1T
on the ground. To smoke cigar
which was touched by an ordinary
citizen with his own civilian cigar,
was beneath the dignity OF
German lieutenant. That was an
insult to his honor, the honor
of his uniform, the honor OF the
army, and even to the honor OF
Germany itself.
Germany treated her lieutenant
as an enamoured girl does her
lover. The lieutenant was the
hero Of Germany. In Russia they
were enamoured of the opera ten
ors and of writer's; in Paris of a
witty speaker; and in Germany
of lieutenant.
So was the smaller sister of
Germany-Austria. The German
and Austrian lieutenants radiated
in Central Europe. They were the
delight of the Teutonic family and
the terror of the rest of the world.
At one time-that was several
decades ago-a young tempera-
mental talented Jew, doctor in
the Austrian army, wrote a novel
called Lieutenant Gustel,
pointed, biting, artistic satire on
the Austrian officer and on his
German first cousin. The author
of this novel was DR.. Arthur
Schnitz1er, and the little clever
book Immediately became popular
with the public, and was trans
lated into all the European lam
guages. Everywhere it made
we'll deserved impression. All
Europe, the cultural world,
laughed over Lieutenant Gus
tel"
The Austrian officers felt the
most painful insult. There was
nothing in the book, however, for
which Schnitzler might be put
into prison-a thing the Austrian
