THE ABLEST GERMAN
Count George F. von Hertling who
died at his old home on Rupholding,
Bavaria Saturday night, was the ab
lest German of them all in matter of
wise statesmanship and diplomacy.
As German supreme chancellor at a
time when Germany was trying to
overrun Europe, had he lived, he
would have been required to answer
for hig part in maintaining the war.
Count George E von Hertling was
considered the most learned man of
all the men called to the chancellor
ship of Germany since 1871, He had
won for himself a scholar’'s reputation
before he entered political life up to
1912 when he became Bavaria's min
ister-president, he had combined edu
cational and literary work with his
political activities Von Hertling was
appointed Imperial German Chan
cellor in October 1917, succeeding Dr.
George Michaelis, He resigned in the
fall of last year and then Emperor
William conferred upon him the or
der of the Black Eagle and his warm
thanks for the “self-sacrificing faith
fulness” with which Von Hertling had
served the country.
Von Hertling was born in Augusta
1843, in Darmstadt of a well known
family. He passed through the gym
nasium, or high school of his home
city, studied philosophy and history
at Munster, Munich and Berlin and
received the degree of doctor of phi
losephy in 1864, Later he visited Ttaly
and studied the dogmatic history of
the Roman church and in 1876 be
came teacher of philosophy in the
University of DBonn. He was well
Lnown as a writer on Catholicism and
political sociolagy.
Count von Hertling was a mem-
ber of the Reichstag continuously \
; from 1875 to 1912 with the c-x(:optioui
of the period of 1890 to 1890 in ISQG.J
,Ho became the Clerical party lua(lori
i in 1909 after the death of Count Hom
}pus(zh. During the chancellorship, ot‘]
‘(‘nnnt von Buelow he entrusted \'(m!
; Hertling whom he considered an ::I)l(%i
j:m(l resourceful diplomat, with nego
‘llntimm with the Vatican, Von Hert
‘ling also was often the semi-official
intermediary between his party und‘
the government, '
In the latter months of his occupan
cy of the chancellorship, Von ll('rt-’
ling was assailed by the Socialists iu‘
'lh«- Reichstag and the German news
papers the Socialists charging llmtf
he had entered the (-hanvt'llm'.\'hipa
‘with the understanding that he would |
speak for the whole of the (:vrm;lni
people but that he had gone over tnii
the junkers and represented ideas |
that were obsolete. The press gt'nvr-l
ally attacked the chancellor as a re
sult of the increasing frictions lw-l
tween the Berlin and Vienna guvvru-g
ments. The feeling of the nv\\'spnpvr.\‘!
was intensified when the (-h:ulcullm'.
early in September said the govvrn-l
ment saw no possibility of approving
& bill for general equal suffrage as it
came from the Prussian lower huusv.l
The workers' unions also turned ug;u‘n}
st the chancellor, accusing the govern- |
ment of being responsible for the lack I
of food and of putting the intvrus!s;
of the producing intevetst above those |
of the people, k
In his last speeches bhefore the Roi(-hi
stage Von Hertling dwelt on the ]ms-l
sibilities of peace being brought
about, These addresses were charac
terized by the newspapers of allied
countries as “peace feelers” and even
were attracked by German writers
and politicians as insincere or nn-,
truthful. |

It is stated by one who claims to'

It is related that one man whose in
{torior haé not been inured to the cau
sticity of thiz “juice of Vesuvius”
!lif.r»d a hettle to his lips and took a
lcbuplc of swallows bhefore the light
gning siruck him. The stuff burned off
‘all the skin between his lips and his
!opiglnttiu., ossified the dinner he had
‘eaten an hour before and caused him
‘t.o bite off half an inch of his tongue.
!He smashed the hottle over the head
}or the mamr who had given him the
drink, had three convulsions in fifteen
iminutes, and went to bed in the cab
ilmgo patch after some kindly disposed
persons had steered him to his front
? gate,
