erable victims of their tyranny like
Wlsnlevvski to be invested with the
same electoral rights as themselves
they win not hesitate to overthrow
the present Prussian ministers and
Count Hertllng, the Imperial .Chan
cellor, himself.
People generally believe In Germany
that tho Junkers have been secretly
encouraged by tho Kaiser to frustrate
electoral reform in Prussia. The
Vorwaerts alludes to this Imperial
lnfluenco thus: "It is commonly said
that the load to electoral icfoim Is
barred hy a higher power." Although
the monarch' word of honor l ut
stake and he dare not openly break
ne rears the possible democratic
effects of the franchise hill on Prus
sian Institutions quite ns much ns the
.(linkers and will be vastly relieved if
their 6bstlnate opposition supplies him
with an excuse not to keep his hypo
critical promises. Moreover, the
Kulper Is absolutely dominated today
by Ludendorff, who it. a typical
Junker.
A strange tendency prevails In some
quarters to believe that Kaiser
William is an unwilling victim of the
Junkers, the Pan-Germans and tle
general stuff, and that he Is personally
inclined to political moderation and
would conclude a democratic peace If
they did not hinder him. One also
often hears It sild that tlm Kaiser was
opposed to declaring war anil that the
the Crown Prince and the military
party aie In reality alone responsible
for the world-conflagration.
All this Is notliintr but German
propaganda destined to exonerate the
Kaiser In the event of Germany's los
ing the war nnd to influence the
Allies In his favor. In reality,' ut nil
crucial moments of the world ronlllct,
the Kntser, tho Crown Prince, the
military parly nntl the Junkers have
been absolutely united. It would be
extraordinary If It were otherwise.
The Hohepzollerns are themselves
merely overgrown Junkers, Prussian
landed proprletois whose genius for
depredation, brutality and oppression
raised them In the course of centutles
above their fellows to royal and finally
to imperial rank. In all essential
characteristics Kaiser William Is a
Junker, quite as much of a Junker us
his son ami heir. From his eaillest
youth his intimate friends have all
been Junkers and piomlnent officers
of .the army belonging to Junker
families. Tho two men who have prob
ably had most influence over him dur
ing the present war. Pi luce Plcbs and
Prince Kuerstenberg, are both great
country magnates of the Junker caste.
Not long ago. shortly before the
electoral reform bill was debated In
tho Prussian House of Kepresenta
tlves, the "Uuntl der l-andwlrte," the
powerful economic and political union
of the Junkers, held its unnual meet
ing in the preat hall of the Phllhar.
mony at Rerlln. The climax of the
meeting was an address by the fa
mous old Junker leader, Herr von
Oldenburg.
litasphemous Madness
The following extract Is a specimen
of his eloquence:
After thu war Germany must have
new frontiers and -greater possibili
ties of expansion, b'or this she will
need a mighty army and great navy.
If we did not already have our army
and navy we should have to invent
them as the finest of all educational
institutions for the German people.
So long as our army is In the field,
fighting victoriously all Is well: but
God alone knows what will happen
later. Wo shall need a chancellor
of Iron, a chancellor who Is not
afraid to shoot!
The Reichstag majority is a mis
erable assembly of traitors who have
attacked the army in the rear with
their Infamous peace resolution. This
war Is a struggle for the domina
tion of the world. No matter how
great our losses and sacrifices are It
mustbe carried ore till victory Is
ours, and our victory must be
utilized to the utmost if It Is not to
prove a germ of death for the em
pire. We are keeping 200,000 men In
Poland, not In order to malte the
Poles happier, but for the greater
glory and prosperity of the father
land. Hlndenburg and Ludcndorlt
have been blamed for mixing up In
politics; but their tremendous re
gponslbillty gives them the right to
do eo and to make sure from time
to time that it Is still our Emperor
and King who decides political ques
tlons. If we do not obtain a war
Indemnity the Reichstag will have
to vote ten billions yearly, The

enlng the spirit of sacilflce
and uplifting our hearts In the
service of our beloved, glorious
fatherland. U wo all remain united

Although I he Kaiser's desire not to
compromise himself Is evident fiom
the circumspect wording of this reply,
it Is clear enough that at heart he
thoroughly sympathizes with Heir von
Oldenburg's Ideas. Nothing Is, as I
have said, more natural. There is not
only a community of Ideals, but also
of interests, between the Kaiser and
the Prussian Junkers. They stand
and. Tall together.
The Spcrlrr of Revolution
The monarch's ruling fenr has al
ways been, and "till K "at the
ileiiiocratiMtlnii of Prussian institu
tions might deprive h!tn of some
part of Ills absolute pnucr. or.
worse still, that a revolution fomented
Iiv the Socialists might drive him from
liu throne. He knows he can rely
upon the Junkers to defend- him to
the last with undaunted, aggressive
mirage ami incorrupuuie inyuiiy,
against this danger which thieatens
to deprive them also ot tncir power
and wealth. ,
Bourgeois politicians, or even great,
cosmopolitan nobles like Prince Lich
now ski, may turn against the Kaiser,
but the Prussian. Junkers will stand
by him unshaken and will either til-
umph.or succumb with him. They
are the only people In Germany whom
he can unreservedly trust, and it
stands to leason that their word has
more weight with him than that of
anv other class or political party.
The war policy of the Junkers Is
well known; It coincides with the the
ories of the Pan-Germans. In the
Prussian House of Loids, Count Yorck
von Wartenberg. a typical Junker, de
clared quite lecently:
"Frederick the Great's kingdom did
not glow strong through renunciation
and reconciliation, hut through might
and force of arm. To all faint-hearted
pacifists we say: A great country Is
founded on might, and on might
alone." And General von Klelst added:
"It Is not our business to wonder how
our vanquished enemies will manago
to pay a war Indemnity. That is their
affair. We must be hard. We must
not ruin Germany with our idealism."
All Junkers Pan-Germans
All Junkets are Pan-Germans,
though by no means all Pan-Germans
belong to the Junker caste, many of
their most prominent leaders being
bourgeois politicians, university pro
fessors, and great captains of industry
who have no agricultural Interests,
nor titles of nobility., The Junkers are
a caste, not a political party, and as
such, their members are to be found
In the Reichstag not only In the ranks
of the Conservatives, but also of the
Liberal Conservatives, the Catholic
Center Party, and the National-Liberals.
Their stronghold Is Prussia, and
from Prussia they seek to dominate
all Germany,
Grow Rich by War
Before the war the majority of the
Prussian landed nobles were poor, If
not absolutely bankrupt. Their es
tates were heavily mortgaged as a re
sult of the mismanagement and ex
travagance of their owners. Today
the poorest Junker In Silesia or Pom
merania has become a wealthy man.
The war has brought the Junkers undreamed-of
prosperity. The enormous
Increase in prices for cattle and agri
cultural products has more than
trebled the value qf their estates.
The Berliner Tageblatt reports that
a small country estate, which was
worth 200,000 marks In the first year
of the war. cannot be bought now for
less than 600,000 marks. Agrlcultutal
land formerly worth from 700 to 900
marks an acre Is now being sold for
3000 and even 4000 marks an acre. And
the Junkers have not only grown rich,
they have, above all, suffered least
from the privations the war has Im
posed upon Germany.
Slasters of their own livestock and
produce, they have laughed at the food
restrictions qt the Government and
violated them with Impunity owing to
their control of the Government offices
and officials Intrusted with the task of
carrying out these measuies, The
Frankfurter Zeitung calculates that

Thc Government has never mad!
any serious attempt to force them to.
Rive of their plenty to the emaciated
women nnd chlldrn of Berlin, Ham
burg or Lelpzlc, nor to enforce a Just
taxation of their estates, but it has,
supplied them with thousands of Rus-f
sian prisoners as cheap wage-Slaves.
The Junkers owe a great part of their
present unprecedented prosperity to1
the submissive labor of these Russian
mtijiks. This Is one reason why'ths
German Government. In violation, Of
the treaty of Brest-Lltovsk. has nfttj
yet liberated the Russian prisoners lnf
Germany.
Some time before the war Pastor

into tlouble with his ecclesiastical suit A
jierlois, was elected to the Reichstag! fl
as the candidate of tho Progressive!
People's party. He was expected to?
do gieat things for the Liberal cause.
Dining the war he has become a com
plete convert to the political Ideals of
the Junkets, and last week, in a speech '
on the Piusslan franchise reform,
made this astounding statement: .,
It Is only fair and just to recog
nize the great merits of the Prus
sian Junkers. They have Inherited
from thlr fathers an abllltv to.gov,. '
em which la undeniable and which-,
ennot be acquired from one day to
another. Tho wisdom 'of govern- 2,
ment is theirs by right of birth.
In spite of this grotesque dectara-'
tlon. Pastor Traub has npt yet been
ejected from the Progressive party,
which Is supposed to support demo-1
emtio ideals.
Liberalism Junlierizecl
Another rengade from the Liberal
camp. Burgomaster Koerte, of. Kofcti
nlgsberg, recently mane the following '
statement In the Herrenhause, whleh
shows how 'thoroughly Germanspf
the middle classes assimilate the'ideals
of the Junkers us soon as they 'are
raised to higher lank In the Prussian'
hierarchy:
A war In which the conquered ter- '
rltory does no( temaln the victor' 4
property in nonsensical. After our" '
enormous losses we need an enor. 1
mous war Indemnity. Wo need also
a great store of grain, coffee, rc
and ore in order to be better pre
pared for future wars. ,
After this one is no longer KtirnrUed '
that "democratic" politicians like Herri!

promoted to be ministers of State, im- jLUH
mediately wax more reactionary and JtMrTlfl
autocratic than the Junkers them-)' HP
" ' inuce on ine uovernment
Invariably has this effect on 'the Teu
ton "democrat," who Is overcome vby. '
the honor thus conferred upon him'
and deems it his duty to prove himself ,
worthy of it by acting as much as'
possible like one to the station born.
In the early days of the war par., i
