YOUNG GERMAN GIRL,
The following letier from a Piuwsian |
girl to a friend 1n Bwl'zwland may |
throw light upon that amszing state
of mind of the Prussian people which
leads them to support and applaud
thelr king in plunging the world into
war. For behind the war, and resl
cause of it, there is a Prussian way of
looking at things. That way Is so
foreign to our American ideas of
right and wrong that Americans can
hardly understand it or believe that it
exists,
The letter is printed in the Congres-
sional record and i+ tak:n from page
8048 of the volume for the recent ses-
gion, No doubt this girl is just an av-
erage Prussian in the ideas she shows
regarding a supposed Prussian right to
rale the world, Bhe expres-es tre
jdea a little more simply snd frankly
than the Prussian statesmar, that le
all. That a great intelligent people
like the Prusgjau can be so ignorant
and perverted in their moral ideas is
what is hardest for Americans lo un-
derstand,
“ Frankfort on Oder, July 20, 19186.
“My dear Louise :
your last letter would have hurt me
bad I not known that your thoughts
of our glorious war resulted from
sheer ignorance,
“You are in a country rendered ¢ {foo
minate by the ii fluence of oldashion-
ed ideas of liberty, a country which la
at least two centuries behind ours,
You sare in need of a good dose of Prus-
agian cuitare,
“It is evident that you, a Bwies girl,
with your French sympathies, can no
understand how my heart, the heart of
a young German gir), passionately d=-
sired this war, Bpeakiog of it some
years ago, my father said to us: Chil-
drepo, Germany is getting too small
for ue, we shall have to go to France
again in order to fiod more room’. Is
it our fault if France will not under-
stand that more wouey apd laud are
necessary for us,
‘* And ycu reproach us that our sol-
diers have been very cruel to the Bel-
glan rabble, and you speak al:0 of the
destruction of Rheims, and of Lhe
burniog of villages and towns. Well
that is war, As in every other under-
taking we are past masters lo the mak-
ing of war.
“ You have a great desl to learn be-
fore you cap come up to our standard
and I can assure you that what has
been done so far is a mere bsgatelle
compared with what will follow,
“As a matter of fact, there is
but one race worthy of ruling the
world, and which has already a'tained
the highest degree of civilization
That race is ours, the Prussians; for
though we Germans in general are
lords of the world, the Prussian is un-
dcubtedly the lord par excellence
among the Germans,
‘ All other natiovs and among them
unfortunately, the Swis, are degener-
ate and of inferior worth, That is why
I bave slwa ye been to proud of being
a trus Pruseian,
“ Yesterday, pgair, our pastor ex-
plained to us convioeinely thst cus
first parents, Adam and Eve, were alo
Prussian. That is quite easy to under-
stand, vecsure the Bible tells us that
the German God created us all efter
bis own lmege. Ifther, all men are
descended from Adsm and his wife, it
follows thst only Prusaisps, or at less?
Germspe, cught to exist in the world,
end that all who push on and prospe:
ought to belong tous, You mus: ad
mit that that is logic, snd that is why
our motto js ‘Odd with ue, Germany
above everyihiuvg.'
# You know now why we wished
this war. Is it vot shameful that
other patione, who have no right to
exisience on the #arth, wish to dimio-
teh our heritage? Weare the devine
fruit aud the others are only weeds
That la why our great emuperor bas de-
cided to put sn end to sll these irjas-
tices and to extirpate the weeds, Do
you understand that now?
“I remain, your eehinol friend,

“Jt Tells of Scenes You Yearn to See’
(Copyright, 1918, by Pdgar A
It's like a smiling friendly face,
It's like & voice you long have known,
You see it in sme distance place
And rush to claim it for your own.
The paper from your old home town
Has bridged the long and dreary
miles
And with it you can settle down
Among familiar tears and smiles,
It speaks for every friend you know
It tells of scenes you yearn to see;
It brings back joys of long ago
And tells of joys that are to be
And as you run ite columne o'er
Your yesterdays come trooping back
You faney you re at home onee more,
And golden seem the letters black
Its epeech is one you unde stand
Its tells of griefs that you can sb
It brings you, in that foreign land
Glad messages to banish care
There, Kong
The old-home paper seems tote
The feithful friend that doesn t change
eenes and faces strange
A friend that you are glad to cee
I know not jst what heaven iz like
Nor just what joys beyond
Await for me,
And I shall reach the other side,
But this I know when | have gone
Bo dwell in realms divinels fair,
My soul will yearn to look upo
