Conquest and Kultur

There still lingers in the minds of many Americans the mistaken notion that the German peo

ple do not share the ambition of their leaders to

make the Imperial German government worm

dominating. We discounted too long, ; and that to our own disadvantage, the wide-spread belief of all the German people in the principle of Pan-

Germanism. 'The mass of the German people do not be

lieve in that theory," "That's the view of the mil

itarists and war lords and not of the common

people," are the explanations we offered in the

past when the theory of Germany's plan to dom inate the whole world was under discussion. In other wdrds", we associated the Pan-Ger

manism theory with the military class, believing

that the common people did not accept the theory,

and in case of war would refuse to be party to

such an undertaking. Close scrutiny of the utterances of German scientists, philosophers, economists, politicians, theologians, business and professional men prove conclusively that Conquest and Kultur is part of the fixed belief of almost every. German, and that peasant and laborer are thoroughly imbued with the Kaiser's desire to conquer and "kulturize" the whole world. And the manner in which the common people are spilling their blood on the battlefields proves that they are possessed of the Kaiser's idea. Let us keep firmly in mind henceforth that we are fighting not only the Kaiser, the war lords and junkers but also the plain people of Germany who believe that it is the divine destiny of the Imperial German government to teutonize the world and make all nations amenable to the dictates of German kultur.

"Deutschland ueber Alles" is not a trite phrase with only a figurative meaning. No, it expresses the inherent belief of the German worker as well as the Kaiser, von Hindenburg, von Tirpitz and their ilk. The idea of a universal conquest of the world, making all nations subject to German kultur, is not the obsession alone of a von Bernhardi, but is taught in the schools, pulpits, public gatherings and labor unions. "Deutschland ueber Alles," is not a figure of speech and a fanciful poetical effusion, but a declaration of imperial intent and purpose, a national platform expressing an international aspir

ation, a war cry and rally shout of all Germans. When Germans say "Deutschland ueber Alles" they mean it in the literal sense Germany dominating the world, the Kaiser controlling the destinies of the nations, the German government with its dreadful war machine dictating to all mankind.

Do you want proof of these assertions ? Read what German leaders have written to convince yourself that Germany's imperialistic ambitions know no bounds and that all classes are heart and soul in accord with the Pan-German theory: The Kaiser himself in a speech at Bremen, March 22, 1905. said: "We are the salt of the earth." F. von Bernhardi, Germany and the Next War We Germans have a tar greater, and more urgent duty toward civilization to perform than i.1 J- A J A w-r

ine great Asiatic power. ... v e . . . can only fulfill it by the sword. Pastor J. Rump, Kriegsbetstunden (War Prayer Meetings) Brethren, make an end of this generation of vipers with Germans blows and thrusts. Fritz Philippi, poem entitled World-Germany Formerly German thought was shut up in her corner but now the world shall have its coat cut according to German measure, and as far as our swords flash and German blood flows the circle of the earth shall come under the tutelage of German activity. Adolph Lasson, professor of philosophy in the University of Berlin We are morally and

intellectually superior to all, without peers. It is the same with our organizations and with our institutions. F. von Bernhardi Our next war will be fought for the highest interests of our country and of mankind. This will invest it with import

ance in the world's history. "World power or downfall!" wHl be our rallying cry. ; Tannenberg, Gross-Deutschland The , German people are always right because they number 87,000,000 souls. ' Fritz Bley, editor of Zeit-Fragen Forward, then, into the fight for German aims and "far as the hammer is hurled let the earth be ours." Pastor B. Baumgarten, Deutsche Reden in Schwerer Zeit Whoever cannot prevail upon himself to approve from the bottom of his heart the sinking of the Lusitania, whoever cannot conquer his sense of the gigantic cruelty to unnumbered perfectly innocent victims. . . . and give himself up to honest delight at this victorious exploit of German defensive power him we judge to be not true German. Fricderich Nietsche I tell you that a good war hallows every cause. Karl A. Kuhn, Die wahren Ursachen des Krieges The might of the conqueror is the highest law before which the conquered must bow. Pastor Baumgarten We are compelled to carry on this war with a cruelty, a ruthlessness, an employment of every imaginable device unknown in any previous war. Treitschke, Politics We have already seen that war is both justifiable and moral, and that the ideal of perpetual peace is not only impossible but immoral as well. Arthur Dix, Deutschland auf den Hochstrassen des Weltwirtschaftsverkehrs Only that State can be a . world , power and remain such

which disposes of sufficient forces to rule and hold its wide territory and corresponding share of world trade. Bronsart von Schellendorf Hence we intend to absorb one after another all the provinces which neighbor on Prussia. We will successively annex Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Northern Switzerland, then Trieste and Venice, finally northern France, from the Sombre to the Loire? F. von Bernhardi France must be so completely crushed that she can never again come across our path. Hans Delbrusk, professor of history in Berlin The first and most important of all national demands which we shall have to make when the time comes for the signing of peace must be a demand for a very large colonial empire, a German India. Karl Tolle, Das Deutschtum im Ausland "Land more land," is the old battle cry which has

reverberated without ceasing thoughout the ages of German history from prehistoric times to the present.

Friederich Lansre, Reines Deutschtum If we

take, we must also keep. j K. F. Wolff, Alldeutsche Blaetter The Purpose must be to crush the conquered people and its political and lingual existence. . . . The

principal thing for the conqueror is the outspoken will to rule and the will to destroy the political and national life of the conquered. Klaus Wagner, Krieg Not only North America but the whole of America must become a bul-

i wark of Germanic Kultur, perhaps the strongest

fortress of the Germanic races. Emperor William, a summary of an interview by James W. Gerard, American ambassador to Berlin, My Four Years in Germany "America had better look out after this war. I shall stand no nonsense from America after the war." Major Liebster in conversation with A. Curtis Roth, former American vice-consul at Plauen, Germany "We are keeping books on you Americans. It's a long account and we haven't missed any details. Rest assured that the account will be presented to you some day for settlement."

It's Profane, But Timely. We're on our way to Germany To quell a bandit band. That sneers and jeers at Uncle Sam And strains his lenient hand. We'll lift the patient Stars and Stripes Up high in Iiis fierce game. And desecrating, wild-eyed ghouls Will learn more of its fame. We're on our way to Germany To end confusion's sway. When we get there, believe me. bo, There's be some heltopay. R. T. Have You Got Yours?

The government has just made an Important announcement. The per capita wealth of this country is now $47.03. In other words, every person is supposed to have that amount "Supposed to have" is right. Add the word "perhaps" And the symphony will be complete. If you feel in your pocket you may be of the impression That the government is spoofing you. If you haven't Got your $47.03 now maybe you will get it later. We are among, those who can hardly believe that the Report is true. When we get our $47.03 We are going to have' one porter

house with onions And some coffee with real sugar in it. Then let the war proceed. Wesh'dworry! It is now proposed to recruit a redheaded regiment in this country. Not a bad'idea. Think of the talent: Vic Murdock. J. Ham Lewis. Minnie Maddern Fisk. Billie Burke. Terry McGovern. Billy B. Van. Eva Tanguay. Ad infinitum. Judging by the divorce records, many a marriage certificate is only a "scrap of paper." Some scrap, too. 1 THE MOTTO OF THE AMALGAMATED SOCIETY OF KNITTERS:

Medical Examinations for the Draft

From Chicago Tribune.

T is difficult to understand how many medical exam'

iners for exemption boards square their decisions with their duties as physicians, as public officials,

or as honest men. A report from Camp Custer announces that 16 per cent of the third increment of selected men

have been rejected at the camp as unfit. That comes to 1,696 men and brings the total thus far rejected by this

division up to 3,247.

All of these men have had their railway fare to the camp and their expenses paid by the government many thousands of dollars thrown away. What is still more important, most of them have left employment and lost

days or even weeks through this fiasco. This disorganization of the lives of civilians is injur

ious to the business community and, therefore, hurtful to the country. It is costly in money. It is unjust and

demoralizing to the victims. Physician examiners who

are responsible for this deserve to be publicly repri

manded. When they are asked to act as examiners they are asked to assist the government, to assist the nation in the great war task. While men are being conscripted to give up months, perhaps years, of military service, to endure wounds or even death, these examiners may well be asked and required to perform service. If they do any service it should be done well. The patriotism and willingness of the medical profession to serve is not doubted. It is shown in many ways. But the individuals who shirk their job deserve reproof and, if possible, discipline.

'Twas somewhere in France, and the tranches looked like some river not

oo the map. Paddy was on guard In

the communication trenches and was up to his chest in water. Along came a Tommy, who inquired of Paddy if

he could direct him to A Company of

the First Blankshires. Paddy's temper was not of the best, for he had had a long, weary guard, and was not In form for being questioned. "Holy smoke!" he replied, viewing his surroundings. . "Chuck it! I'm not the bloomin' harbor master!" As Mr. Jones unlaced his boots-he remarked casually to his wife: "Have you heard about the catastrophe

wnich happened at the Smiths house tonight?" "No. What was It?" asked Mrs.

Jonese.

Jones paused for an aggravating

moment to pull on his slippers before

he replied: "Why, Mrs. Smith gave

the baby a bottle to play with, and while she was out of the room it fell

from the cradle and broke itsneck."

. "What! The poor little baby?"

shrieked his wife. "No; the bottle!" replied Mr. Jones, with a fiendish chuckle.
