Pre-war Proverh When the Ger a few days' respite from th councils; his battle fronts, the imperial train rumble Germany Sand of factor "warehouses, maimed en women, and fatherless clilldren, does he ever lift a mental periscope 100k in to Germany's future? Whether he wins the w ar, or- loses the war, or. whether th WAT ends in a stalemate, the Kaiser knows that the prosperity of hls Empire has melted like snow on the ace of the desert, He knows now he Germany that was built by his grand- father and his father has crumbled as fortress walls have crumbled be- fore his mortars. He knows that halt the life-biood of German virility has ebbed atready on battlefields. He knows that all the mighty commerce x Germany is a yesteryear's dream. a¥nows that the once boasted ul- ture of Germany is so fouled that the very word "culture" has changed its meaning and become a synonym for bestiality. He knows, most of all, that the word "German" is a hissing and reproach throughout the world, and that Time will have to ply her sponge for a century before the Ger- man will again be unabhorred among other peoples. : These are black days for us peo ples of the Allied nations, but it is 10 mean mental tonic to borrow' the Kaiser's periscope and look into this twentieth century that belongs: so terribly to the Germans, The Kaiser is not always surroun- ded by generals drunken with tran- sient victory; he is not always sur- rounded by that camirilla of fever- ish decadents who w few years ago staggered Europe by their scandals of nameless vice; he is not always upborne of foaming Pan-Germans who play on his megalomaniac ambi. tion of the empery of Europe. There are other men in Germany who still have access to the Kaiser; the remy ant of Germany's divines who have not vet abjured Christianigy;- the remnant of Germany's professors and philosophers who have not vet Jured reason; the remnant of Ge nany's busingss men who still to 'ber foundering trade.
