WHAT GERMAN VICTORY WOULD
MEAN.
{Contributed by ARTHUR TRAIN
to tbe National Security League’s cam¬
paign of Patriotism Through E<iuc»
tioa.)
A German victory—or an lueonelu¬
sive peace—would mean the ultimata
realization of tbe German Idea that
Germany for tit* good of tb« world
rouat rule the world, ThI* Ima been
taught lit her universities as philoso¬
phy and in her pulpits as religion.
The German nation uaquestloalagly
accepts ft and Intend* to force lhe rest
of the world to accept IL This they
call “Kultur," which they claim is
♦‘above morality, reason and science. ' 1
Knltur teaches that there is only
one sort of right—that of the
It argues with specious profundity
that In the relations of nations with
one another there can be no such thing
as truth or honor. Frederick the Great
taught that the Germans must make St
their “study to deceive others In or
der to get the better of them.’** Fred
erirk William IV, 70 years ago said
that all written constitutions were
only “scraps of paper, 1 '* and Beth
maun-Hotlweg In 1014 referred to Th*
Hague convention In the Identical
words. Th© "scrap of paper” idea is
an old one tn Goman diplomacy.
The Germans believe themselves to
be a nation of supermen and the Kais¬
er the war partner—not of the God of
humanity, but the “guter alter Gott*’
of th* Pagan North—the War God—
who revels in the shrieks of women
and th* torture of children, fn blood¬
shed and cruelty, “I aut bis sword,
Ids agent f r declares William Hohen
zoilero. “Lot all the enemies of the
German people perish! God demands
their destruction—God, who by my
mouth hide you do his will !**•
To accomplish ibis “divine” will the
German military authorities believe
that any means are justifiable—the
mowing down of crowds of helpless
civilians with machine guns, the cut¬
ting off of th* breasts of women. Die
battering in of the skulls of the
wounded with rifle butts. “Be as ter
rtbl* a* Attlila's Bus*! ordered the
XAtaw.*'* “It i* better to let 8 hun¬
dred women belonging to the enemy
die of hunger than to let a single Ger¬
man soldier suffer.’* "Ail prisoners
are to be put to death,” ordered Gen¬
eral Rtengar Sri Belgium.* Writes a
Bavarian private; “During the bottle
of Budonwlller I did away with four
women and seven young glria in five
minute*. The captain h&rf told me to
•hoot these French sows, but I pro
ferred to ran my bayonet through
them.”*
This Is the concrete result of what
the Germans rail “The Religion of
Valor” end “The Gospel of Hate”
Says one of their spokesmen: "Most
Knltur build ita cathedral* on hilts of
corpses, seas of tear* auri r!m death
rattle of the vanqulahedf Yes. ft
must"*
,
If Germany wtn» the war the Unit¬
ed States will cither be paying tribute
to the Kaiser or German soldier# will
be bayonettlng American girls and wo¬
men Ju Jersey City rather than take
the trouble to shoot them.
If Germany wins all onr Ideals of
truth, justice and humanity—which
we call Christian—vrllj be trodden
down Into bloody mire under the Iron
heel of the Kaiser'* armies, and the
coming generation will b® fought that
there Is no God but the merciless God
«f Battle, who speaks through Ger¬
man,v’a treacherous tongue and by her
brutal sword.
