PRUSSIANIZING THE WORLD.
Many who have read of the Ger
manic designs upoi France, Belgium
am• Russia have doubtless thought
the Kaiser ranked among the tyrants
of the world’s history, but the Nat
ional Geographic Magazine in a re
cent issue treats of this phase so the
German ruler most interestingly. The
magazine says:
Paltry indeed seem the dominions
of all the tyrants of the past, who
attempted to “wade through slaugh
ter” to the throne of world empire,
compared with the vaulting ambition
of the Hohenzollerns for Prussianiz
ing the earth, as seriously proposed
by statesmen, diplomats, and military
experts of Germany during the last
few years.
At the time that Germany plunged
the world into war four years ago,
the area of her empire in Europe
was 208,780 square miles —larger than
that of any othe r nation in continen
tal Europe save her vassal, Austria-
Hungary. and Russia. She had a pop
ulation at home of nearly 70,000,000,
while her coloinal empire, exceeding
a million square miles, had an addi
tional population of more than 14,-
000,000.
But she was not content. These
possessions must be but the core of
rhe great sphere of dominions which
she would accumulate in a rolling
tide of blood conquest!
Germany claims as her right
(through her spokesmen, the leading
citizens of the empire), the following:
All of Europe save Portugal, Spain,
the uninvaded portion of France, the
British Isles, and the as yet uncon
quered portions of Russia. Ih brief,
she wants in Europe 1,196,000 square
miles of the total continental area of
3,872,000 square miles and 279,000,-
000 of the 464,000,000 inhabitants.
All of South America save the two
inconsequential colonies of British
and French Guiana.
In Africa her modest claims em
brace 6,840,000 square miles of the
total area of 11,622,000 square miles,
leaving less than 5,000,000 square
miles, largely desert, for her sister
nations. *
Considering the extent of the con
tinent. Germany’s Asian aspirations
would seem amazingly conservative
for her, were it not that much of the
land to which she waives claim is,
like that in Africa, an unproductive
w-aste.. With Russian Turkestan, In
dia, China, vassal Turkey, and the Mo
hammedan realms of Persia and Af
ghanistan—the area of which she
wants —the Central Empire would
have 5,662,000 square miles of this
continent, sustaining a population of.
approximately 775,000,000. And there
should be added to these figures the
Dutch East Indies, Germany’s by
i'ght of the might of larger nations
over smaller neighbors 735,000
souart miles and 48,000.000 people.
All of Australia, with an area of 2,-
574,581 square miles and a popula
tion of nearly 5,000,000 people.
Os North America the Pan-Germans
profess to covert only Cubt, General
America and Canada at the present
time, but some of her futurists see
the American people conquered by
the victorious German spirit, so that
in a hundred years the United States
will present an enormous German
Empire.
Thus it will be seen that the lands
and peoples which German statesmen
1 and would-be empire builders actua 1 -
k
’y claim as their right equal 29,000 -
000 sqaara miles, or more than one
half of the earth’s surface, and -,-
? t.7.(‘bo 000 inhabitants —three-fourths
of all the people on the globe.
Amd by far the most diabolical as
pect of this craving for world power
is the fact that it has never occurred
to the Prussian mind to acquire in
fluence through helpfulness to others.
> Always it is the sword of the con
. queror which beckons the Kaiser.
. This assertion is not inferntial; it is
, based on the avowed statement of the
. German war lord himself, who boasts
; thus:
I ' From childhood I have been in-

fluqnced by five men—Alexander the
Great. Julius Caesar, Theodoric 11.
Frederick the Great, and Napoleon.
1 Each of these men dreamed of world
1 empire. I have dreamed a dream of
1 German world empire and my mailed
’ fist shall succeed.”
Each of those paragons of power,
! which Wilhelm II keeps enshrined in
1 his heart, had as his sole object in
life the glorification of self at the ex
-1 pense of mankind, and the attitude of
I each toward justice and moral law
«as the same as that of German lead
ers today, as so shamelessly admitted
by Prince von Buelow in an address
before the Reichstag on December 13,
1900, when he declared, “I feel no em
barrassment in saying here, publicly,
that for Germany right can never
be a determining consideration.”
One reason the average man likes to
see the children all off to Sunday
school early is because this mother
can devote the rest of the morning
to waiting on him.

SUNDAY JOY RIDERS.
The authorities at Washington have
asked that Sunday joy riding cease.
The pending scarcity of gasoline has
impelled the request.
It is hoped that by the suspension
of the custom of driving automobiles
on Sunday to save a vast quantity of
gasoline for the use of the army
abroad. If people at home obey the
request there will be no need for fur
ther restrictions upon the use of
“gas.” If the request is not heeded,
then the government will make the
suspension of all motor traffic on Sun
day obligatory.
At present there is no binding ob
ligation placed upon automobile own
ers to suspend operation of their
cars on Sunday; there is no penalty
attached for disobedience. There is
simply an appeal to the patriotism
of all t 0 help in the saving of gaso
line, and to help in the manner pre
scribed by the authorities at Wash
ington.
All are included within the provis- j
ions of the request. The man who
tides meiely for the joy of riding, and 1
the taxi driver who drives for the
occasional dollar that he picks up on j
the Sabbath are put in the same class, j
The only exceptions to the rule are ]
t’ie doctors and undertakers, and even 1
these aie asked to use their cars only ®
in professional service—the physician j
wlio carries his family for a joy ride j
on Sunday displays a lack of patriot
i ism equal to that of the taxi driver
who continues to operate, or the
transfer man who moves a trunk on j
Sunday. 1
Then there are the friends of auto
owners who will ride with some one
else on Sunday. During the continu- ,
ance of the shortage of gasoline, such
action is anything but patriotic. The
Times-Recorder believes the man whe 1
rides in some other man’s car on Sun
day is even less a patriot than the
one who drives his own car and open- .
ly defies the authorities in their effort
to decrease the consumption of gas
oline, and we appeal most earnest
ly to all citizens to obey the request
both in letter and spirit.
There is in the request no prohibi
tion of the sale of “gas” on Sunday,
but we hope that dealers in Americus
will voluntarily cease selling oil on
Sunday, at least during the continu
ance ot the curtailment of its use.
Such action would reflect the highest
of jatriotism upon their part, and
would result in a minimum of in
■ convenience for all concerned. Un
i der the present system garage own
ers and emplyees have little season
• for rest: they work on Sundays al
r most as i egularly as on other days
II of the wtek, and many car owmers
- never pretend to get a supply of gas
. olire on Saturday for their Sunday
- needs.

i his money may not be criticized so

thing, but she gets all the other
things the man does alright.
