war derives from the cynicism of the
general ideas by which the German ma

approaching with huge strides, through
German schools, books, lectures and

The Mistakes of the Kaiser
Treitschke and HaeckeI Contribute to German Kultur
BY RENE VIVIANI
Premier of France When the War Broke Out
Copyright. 1922 by The Mcclure Newspapers syndicate

German thought from 1875 to 1895 In
his history of German during the nine
teenth century, as well as in his teach
ings, speeches and books, one finds
passionate, wild, sectarian patriotism,
evincing absolutely no desire to win a
reputation for impartiality. He de-
voted himself particularly to demon
strating the excellence of the institu-
lions of the Hohenzollerns, of elucid-
ating the history of Germany by means
of that of Prussia.
Treitschke's Doctrine.
How often Che said) nave we
sought to give theoretical proof to the
little German States that only Prussia
could assume the leadership over Ger
many; the really decisive proof of this,
however, had to be furnished them on
the battlefields of Bohemia and the
Main Treitschke justified every
thing by this sentence: I'm politics
one can judge only that which has
succeeded" He speaks enthusiastic
ally of the great human butcheries in
history and of their significance, and
warns everybody against those who
preach universal peace, 'the most dan
gerous of Utopias."
"War remains the only process, and
even in times of high culture, it al.
ways preserves its plastic power OF
moulding States. Our epoch is an
| epoch of war, our age is an age of iron;
4 If the strong vanquish the weak it Is
the unacceptable law of life"
This biological conception of history
/ tending to subject the living organism
/ of the State to the universal law OF
/ the struggle for life, was developed in
| Germany under the influence of the
great naturalist Haeckel, who intro
duced into that country the theories
of Darwin on the evolution of species
The German university students, after
1870, developed passionate interest ii
the lessons of Hackel, which were the
confederation of the ideas absorbed by
them on the superiority of certain
races and the justification of all tht

liam found Germany and he was des-
tined to show himself worthy of her.
From the proud eminence of his
throne, two years after his accession
in 1891, at Potsdam-he thus adj
dressed his troops: "You belong to
me, body and soul and, If | should give
you the order to fire upon your fathers
and your mothers, you should obey me
without a murmur."
Thus Emperor William, still young,
crowned with the radiant favors of for
tune, reigning over victorious, happy
and rich people, looked into his heart
and found nothing better than this
bloody word of command. One may
imagine what kind of soldiers those
must be in whom their chief instilled
such a grim duty, turning their
thoughts not toward the obligations
imposed upon them by their father
land but toward the doubly impious
murder code of civil warfare Later
on the tool obeyed this guiding hand.

In his reorganization of the empire

INTERESTING PROGRAM is
ENJOYED BY MEMBERS

The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union held another one of its
interesting meetings Tuesday after
noon at the First Baptist church UNI
der direction of Mrs. N. H. Vaughan,
one of the earnest workers of the

. the members were present, but
friends of the society were there to
hear in detail the program and dis
cussions which followed.
| DR.. Carl w. Minor, pastor of the
congregation and an enthusiastic sup
porter of the union, gave the ad-
dress of the afternoon, stressing par
ticularly what temperance means in
the life of an individual, as well as
its full influence on the welfare Of
a community from a civic and relig-
ious standpoint. He spoke at length
on the history of national prohibit
ton, predicting that in a short while
the question would be one of his
tory, thai the entire country is re-
spending every day to the death
knoll of alcoholism. DR.. Minor
brought out the remarkable influence
the adjustment of whisky had
brougk. on his denomination at large,
and gave figures to corroborate his
statement that more people have been
affiliating with religious movements
! in the past three years than ever
before in the history of religion. He
said that the statistics of his church
were repeated in those of the other
denominations. He urged the ear
nest members of the union here to
carry on with the splendid work
which had been begun here, pre-
dieting a fruitful harvest in the
young generation which is coming on
to take up the affairs dropped by
| them.
Others participating in the readings
were Mrs. R. L. McMath, Mrs. o. P.

AT PRETTY SHOWER

Mrs. Sheppard Tillman entertained
prettily Tuesday afternoon at her
home on Earl street for Miss Foy
Mott, a much feted bride-elect.
A delightful motif of white and
pink was used in the decorations
throughout the living rooms which
were thrown into one for the occas-

sprays of asparagus fern were used
in the living room where the guests
were received by Mrs. Tillman, while
great bowls of fragrant narcissi were
banked against the mantels and used
on small tables.
In the dining room crimson carna-
tions formed a bright note in the
decorations, and at either end of the
table were French baskets filled with
narcissi and ferns. Here dainty
sandwiches were served, with later
coffee and whipped cream. Mrs. w.
L. Swain assisted the hostess in en-
tertaining.
