The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-12-20

When came this generation of Ger
mans, such as 1t was when William ii
assembled the throne, such as it still re-
mains IN 1922, scarcely changed for
the better by the merited disgrace of
the misfortune which brought about its
defeat?
In the pages of this rapid survey we
cannot probe, much less solve, the
problem of whether the universities
of Germany or her barracks were the
cradle of her naughty pride, intoxica-
ton and collective madness, that in
durable disease which killed Germany
after having sought to infect the en-
tire world-whether it was born sole
ly of the teachings of German philos-
ophers or was the child of events This
is not a psychological study, even of
human beings in collective movement;
a profound study of that sort would re.
quire another method of treatment
Nevertheless, it may be stated that
two causes contributed toward facili.
tating the poisoning of these genera
tons of Germans, alike hot-headed
violent, rebellious against all lessons
from outside, refractory to all influ
ences from foreign lands.
Prussia was poor and mediocre
kingdom, unable to live despite the
fact that it had the determination to
live, ambitious to spread beyond itself
and, consequently, beyond its frontiers
It's struggles were like those of a pris
oner who, unable yet to break down
the bars of his prison, wishes, never
theless, to thrust them aside in order
to open narrow passage for him
self. Such were the struggles of Prus

of her chiefs of long ago, afterward
under her three kings, particularly
Frederick the Great.

serving it. The true heir of the great
king was not destined TO be born upon
the steps of the throne; the formidable
and fateful genius was destined 10
come, however; that genius who pos
sessed what every one of the others
lacked-will-power.
This master of events appeared in
1852. His name was Bismarck. He it
was who was destined 10 complete by
blood and iron" the work begun by
the Great Elector in the seventeenth
century, and continued, in the eigh-

the aspirations of German intellectuals
toward national unity.
