Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 61, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 March 1918 — A German Republic. [ARTICLE]

A German Republic.

I cannot easily believe in a German revolution, and still less, In a German republic. I at all events, not live long enough to behold the latter. But I feel convinced that, long after we shall have quietly rotted In our graves, they will, In Germany, battle for a republic, with speech and sword. For republicanism is an idea, and the Germans have never yet given up an idea until they have fought It out to its ultimate results. —Heine.
