CLERK IN GROCERY
' The Great Elector governed, unitled, centralized. He Increased the Prussian army from 230 men to 24,000. I With this example before him, Frederick William I founded bureaucracy. He was the "Sergeant-King," severe
and methodical, steeped In army regulations, providing, in his actions, a daily lesson to his son who -was to become the Great Frederick. The father himself laid down 'the principles which were to guide the steps of that son. "It is necessary," he said, "to Instill Into my son the Idea that nothing in the world can shed glory upon a prince as can the sword; he would be a despised creature were he not to love the sword, were he not to seek, In it and for It, the only glory." J Frederick II profited from these
lesson's. He kept on sharpening that
formidable sword. He Increased the
army to 180.000 men. In order to
make possible recruiting on the im
mense scale reauired immense for
that time and taking Into considera
tion the poverty, of the country he mobilized everything, sucked up all the strength of the land, drained the springs of life by summoning to his
aid the springs of commerce, indus--try and agriculture. Of high mental
'endowment, moved by deplorable in
stincts, he has left on record his view

He created the murderous principle
which was to destroy human liberty,
In his eyes, force and the greatness cf the State were the supreme goal
fcf the State. "Interest Justifies every
thing knavery, lying, breaking of worn faith?" he wrote as far back as J746. "When a ruler sees, In a treaty, a danger for his people, It is his duty
to violate that treaty regretfully, but
without hesitation." ; Building the Machine State

quires a strong hand. Hence, when
Frederick II died the springs began to fctve way. Prussia stopped short In her forward march. War was still the xtational industry of Prussia, to be Jure, as Mirabeau said, but German
Union was not to be brought about
Until later.
; These, then, are the three men who
founded the empire.
Three heirs succeeded them. Either on account of the contrast between
them and their predecessors or of
their own weakness, these heirs are pale In comparison; and, in so far as they are concerned, history may well
content itself with naming them.
The first of them, Frederick Wflhelm II, great-great-grandfather of
William n, was a soldier always ready
to advance, yet who, nevertheless, did
not put through what he began. An opponent of the French Revolution, he went as far as Valmy, but made haste to turn about before the troops of the Republic. His son, Frederick William TH, undecided and changeable, did not make himself conspicuous by his energy except after the battle of Jena, when events and the co-operation of zealous ministers helped him in the restoration of his country. As for Frederick William IV, he was Incompetent and inert. Though in favor of the unity of Germany, he let the opportunity for achieving It escape when It presented itself.. This
monarch, stricken like his grandfather, by a stroke of apoplexy, died soon after his faculties impaired. Fate Favored William I Then it was, in 1856,- that his brother, William, 60 years of age, became Regent while waiting to ascend to the throne, which he did in 1S6L ne it , was who was at last to provide an outlet-for the aspirations of Germany toward unity. Fate, which, through three successive reigns, had refused to show favor to Germany, now underwent a change. A powerful and formidable man, of strong Intelligence and unfathomable conscience, subtle and brutal, patient and Impetuous, contemptuous alike of kings, men, facts, Justice and truth, a -sort of monster of intelligence unchained to roam through the forest of the human race Bismarck now , appears upon the scene. " Was he the creator of Germany's welfare? Yes In the eyes of those who have not looked as far as 1914. . It was at the outset of the regency
of Prince William, on the 27th of
January, 1859. that Frederick William "Victor Albert Ilshenzollern, future emperor of war. was born at Berlin.
On his mother's side he was of Eng
lish blood, but he does not appear to have Inherited : its coldness nor the
JiumoTOUs turn of the British mind. His mother, Victoria, was royal princess of Britain, a daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert His father was the royal prince of Prussia.
Frederick William, who was to reign under the name of Frederick III. At home, at the period when the brain receives its first impressions, the child found himself surrounded
by beneficial Influences. The refined culture of his mother, wno found no
obstacles placed in thepath of her educational work by the elegant lib
eralism of Prince Frederick, sought
to influence the little boy and snatch
him from "Prusstficatlon. The tru'h
of the matter was that he was brought up in opposition to Bismarck, whose shadow loomed darkly before those
who asnlred to the throne.
Aa for the boy'B father, a man or
great breadth of mind, he was no less
solicitous about the eaucauon or tne
young heir. In his Journal, under
date of January 27, 1871, on the eve of the surrender of Paris, he thus
wrote down the wishes which he felt
for his son: "May he become a strong
man. loyal, faithful and sincere, a
true German, who, free from prelu
dice, shall continue the work which
has been begun." Then follow these
terrible lines, which undoubtedly under the Influence of a sort of presentiment which seems to have saddened the last years of hl3 life the father wrote concerning his son: "One
really Is afraid, when one thinks of
what hopes are centered upon this
child, and what responsibilities to our
country devolve upon us, in directing
his education."
Oh, prophet! On the death-bed, to
which, like a Jailer watching a prisoner, his son came, with tearless eyes, to watch his father's agony, did not the father perceive more clearly the
responsibility which, a few years
