German Kultur Shown at Work in
Revelations of Royal Household
By TERESA PENN MATHEWS
CHAPTER IV,
Qur season in Oldenburg was grad
ually drawing to a close. General
von Emmich had appeared suddenly
several times since the banquet. He
“generally remained in close and mys
terfous conversation with the Grand
Duke for an hour or two, whilst re
splendent cars would wait at the door
ready to take them to some military
alsplay. Sometimes he would come
to the palace to luncheon, and often
the Grand Duke would go back with
him to Hanover and not return until
late at night,
Many other generals or military ex
perts came also, and each one was
the center of some great demonstra
tion. The whole life was military,
we were gurrounded by milltary, ana

perhaps because the German to me as
a type of manhood s only possible
and decent when fully clothed. To

zust would not be easy, but certainly
any other woman who hax lived in
Germeny and seen similar signts
would readily understand.
There was something repugnant to
m: also in the genuine delght of the
Princesses at the performance. No
voung girl could be enthusiastic nat
flfily at such an exhibition, but, of
course, it was only part of their arti
ficial education in which “kultur” as
the keynote and final cMord induced
them to profess to be so,
1 asked one of the officers near, who
had been in Britain and seemed less
indigenous to his surroundings than
the others, whether this was really
what the Germans understood as ath
letic sports. He agreed that it was
more like a circus entertainment.
However, he held it to be a neces
sary preliminary to sport, and from
what he said 1 could perfectly under
stand that here was another exainple
of Germany's feverish desire to excel
and surpass Anglo-Saxons in their
national enterprises

A certain family, Von Pinck, was

respect for his family and favored
the son and daughter by . choosing
them as intimate friends for his chil

less favored. These distinctions,

at private luncheons or visits.

MEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN — A Newspaper for People Who Think — SUNDAY, JANUARY 26 1919,
'lthrt ugh the whole thoroughfare of
' the town we drove. The people stood
in crowds all the way, and the Grand
| Duke, with the Prince and Princesses,
| were cheered as they passed, flying
| the royal ‘flag,
Frau von Guretsky.Cornitg=-VERY
| Important-—with Fraulein won Jacho
witz and 1, folowed by tlr three ad-
Jutants, with Herr vog.Mack. The
ckief steward of the court with the
| other gentlemen oceupled (hree other
carriages, and the varfous dignitaries
and ladies who had received the title
lor mald of honor brought up the rear.
! Frau von Jordan, wife of the chief
adjutant, with Frau won Toll and a
|l’vw more ladies, were already assem
bled on the grandstand, and on the
Grand Duke's arrival there was much
ceremony, all these good ladies beam
ing and courtesying most gracefully
on being accorded a moment of royal
notice, g $
We all rose at once if the Grand
Duke stood up, and waited on his
movements. The duties of the ladies
were chiefly to remain with the
Princesses in the stand, but the gen
tiemen made a group round the
Grand Duke whenever he moved, On
this particular day 1 happened to be
near Rittmeister von During, the
youngest of the three adjutants,
Von During, who, as 1 have al
| ready stated, was English on his
mother's side, and just returned from
England on a visit to his relatives. He
seemed rather pleased with his visit,
lund told me how much he had en
joyed being in England.
“You must have found it very re
freshing to have left all this tiresome
military r'nrm behind you for a lit
tle,” 1 said as | looked round on the
throngs of men in their stiff and
gorgeous uniforms.
“Tiresome!” he ejaculated. “It is
our life<~the most wonderful profes
sgion in the world!"
Here the Grand Duke suddenly made
a move, and Herr von During ‘hut&y
left me with “military life” writtén
all over him--to the very tread of his
martial swagger. He took his place
'by the side of the Grand Duke, who
wished to inspect the horses in the
paddock.
~ Vanished Notabilities. g
Hérr von During returned to me
at intervals during the races, and we
resumed our conversation, which was
always about Britain. Of course, L
did not suppose that he had entirely
thrown off allegiance to Britain, but
I gradually discovered that his moth
er's nationality, which was English,
counted for him only fnasmuch as he
could profit by her relations.
Later when war was declared this
fact stood out prominently, for Herr
von During proved himself my enemy
at once, and this is no doubt true of
every officer of the German army.
However, he certainly had some dis
tinction from his fellow officers, who
had not the advantage of British in
fluence in their upbringing.
Herr von During was generally qui
eter and less obtrusively personal in
his manner; there was also that in
deseribable something in his tone of
voice which could not fail to be an
echo of his mother’s more refined ad
cent,
I often wonder now whether Herr
von During's holiday in England had
any official duty connected with it
Certainly the bilingual German of¢
flcer is mostly used as a gecret agent.
Another well-known figure amongst
us before the war was that charming
young Austrian, Count George Furs
tenburg, a great frequenter of London
society. His mother was a daughter
of the old Duke of Hamilton, who,
first married to the Prince of Monaco,
divorced him a few months later to
espouse Count Furtenburg. Like many
other great Austrian families, the
Furstenburgs had a name universal
for honor and integrity, which is now
dragged in the dust for their dis
reputable ally.
For that matter, many German fam
ilies were almost equally respected.
Where are the Stumms, the Berck
helms and others whose names are
even more familiar to us, and whose
wealth is, or was, nearly as powerful
as their names were honorable?
During the decade® preceding the
war | was frequently in the soclety
of the younger generation of these
families, most of them budding diplo
matists, prepared to use their wealth
for the aggrandisement of their coun
try. Although they had British or
American mothers, and have since
married British or American wives,
one was never left in any doubt as to
thelr leanings and sentiments. Hatred
and jealousy of Britain was their rul
ing passion, held in check, perhaps,
when in our counu;‘y. but openly
avowed in every word and gesture in
their own, °
In those days I was so sure of Brit
ain that their conversations used to
fall on my ears as so much silly
cackle; but what valuable secret
agents these loyal sons of the enemy
must have proved! Shorn of the ve
neer which we generously mistook for
the foreign equivalent to our ancient
traditions, they go undisguised-—the
unlovely counterparts of #on Papen
and Kert Oraves, = .
A Spy and His Wife.
In the war of 1870 France was be
trayed by a man of the same caliber.
In Paris Count Henckel had been
with his wife--a Ruyssian adventuress
known formerly as La Paiva--one of
the most fashionable figures. He
basely spled on the inner workings of
France, and with the help of his
wife's unscrupulous friends succeeded
in procuring information of vital im
portance to Germany. This he passed
on to Bismarck, who was thus In-‘
spired to exact that infamous indem
nity paid so nobly by our ally. |
For his services to Germany Count
Hencke! received the title of Prince
von Donnersmarck, and his wife dy-
Jng shortly afterward, he married
again, and settled down in his do
mains in Silesia. He did not dare to
return to Paris for 40 years, but had
enormous influence, owing to his
wealth, in the affairs of his country.
After the fall of Bismarck, his
friend, Prince Donnersmarck, obsti
nately refused to see the Kaiser, and
wiis only prevailed upon to do so dur
ng recent years by the entreaties of
his second wife, an ambitious little
lady, the story of whose life would fill
an interesting volume.
In 1912 Prince Donnersmarck, with
his wife, ventured once more to visit
Paris, but their movements were not
exactly free yn spite of the old gen
"tleman's advanced age. His sons, born
'nnpr the Pringe was 60 years old,
have been brought up to toil like
- workmen in the mines of Silesia, most
of which, with extensive railways and
other concerns, they will eventuaflly
own,
I once had some interesting con
versation with Prince Donnersmarck,
which would be guite worth while re
peating, but just now 1 must finish
telling you about thofilme of the races
and the different well-known people
m\o frequented the court of Olden
re. ?
Really the races.were not so very
interesting. 1 wag rather glad when
I saw signs of. theend in the form of
A very frequent visitor to the court
of Oldenburg was Freiherr von Plat
tenburg. This gentlernan was almost
at home at the court because his sis
ter, now married*to a Russian, Baron
Kolm, of the Baltic provinces, had
been fifteen years lady-in-waiting on
the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, He
hald some exalted position at the
head of lLloyds Shipping Company,
and according to himself, was an in
dispensable link between the German-
British- American shipping interests.
Conceited Germans.
Herr von Battenburg spoke Eng
lish with a strong Am%rlcun accent,
which he acknowledged, and of which
he was most proud. He said to me
once that it was the right accent for
a German to acquire, because it might
happen that a German would find it
convenient to pass for an American.
This gentleman was chiefly notice
able for his genial manner and the
perfect correctness of his attire. He
i talked a great deal, and with tregen
ltloun confidence, vet not exactly witn
the aggressivé boastfulness which 1
| had become accustomed to expect
from his countrymen. He drank great
quantities of champagne, which did
not appear to affect him in the least,
and he was favored with several!
glasses of the Grand Duke's special
cognac, ‘
For some reason-—perhaps becausei
he spoke English--Herr von Platten
burg was always put near me at tabl(-‘.‘
He talked quite familiarly about peo- |
ple whom 1 knew in England, &nd‘
claimed to be the great personal
friend of our important shipping mag- |
nates. A great advoeate of peace, he
had some special system by which
to bring about an understanding
which would join German and British
mercantile interests, and by which the
two countries would hold the trade of
the world against all other countries.
“How do you expect Britain to con
sent to this, being -that it goes
against all our traditions?” I inquired.
“Why should we deliberately change
our policy just to please Germiny at
the expense of other countries?”
My words wereé only received with
thinly veiled sarcasm by the company
around, who hung on Von Platten
burg's words as if he were a god.
Notiecing this, I quickly exclaimed:
“Where would Germany be today if
her growing meroantile trade had
suffered in the way that thep propose
other countries should suffer?”
Von During made some scornful re
ply, and went on excitedly into some
long rigmarole, but every now and
then I was given to understand that
the English were fools, our mercantile
policy was as dead as a door nail, and
our only hope lay in Germany's mag
nanimous offer to join forces anad
arush the ambitions of rival countries
before it was too late.
It surprised me very much to hear
the gentleman from the Baltic prov
inces indorging the oplnl%ns of his
brother-in-law. He pronounced his
own country a negligible quantity as
to trade. It was only a matter of
time for Britain and Germany to|
have all Russian industries in their
hands. The wealth of Russia was to
be confiscated under their scheme, al<
though the word they used corre
sponded to the word “organized.”
These evenings—or rather dinners
~for most of the time was passed at
table-—became in the end rather te
dious to me. Had I only known that

plots were being hatched to. bring
the present terrible disaster upon the
world, no doubt I should have paid
more attention to what was being
soid. As it was, having delivered
myself of a fitting reply each time
the cccasfon offered, 1 used to find
myself rather bored, “
The Grand Duke, smoking his ducal‘
cigar at the head of the table, never
seemed greatly interested in the eter-}
nal topic. Some of his remarks about
England were not always in the best{
of taste,
“Are the streets of London still
Ithrnnged with drunken women?” he
inquired of me at the table one eves
ning in quite serious tones, ‘
Snubbing the Grand Duke. |
Prince Nicke in a paroxysm of de-}
light, then yielded to one of his fits
of shrill laughter, and imitated the
nodding, stupid head of a drunken
person, which his natural physiog-‘
nomy allowed him to do remarkably
well without much effort.
“Your royal highness is no doubt
aware,” I replied gravely, “that the
British law is very lax ‘in the matter
of admitting aliens, The inhabitants
lof certain parts of London could
scarcely be said to represent fairly
the- British race exclusively. I have
keard that it is possible to see .o
drunken woman in the streets if one
visits certain areas where these for
eigners are to be found, but for my
own part I have never witnessed such
a sight, and if I '‘had I shoudM have
dismissed it from my juind as un
worthy to dwell upon or*cecall.”
Herr von Wedderkonk, one of the
adjutants who, although a German
officer, was a gentleman, so far
risked his royal highness' displeasure
to say, “Well said, Miss Pen Math
ews.”
To do them justice, I really think
nobody regretted my frank manner
of speaking. The drand Duke, per
haps, accustomed to his remarks be-
Ing received with flattering enthusi
asm, did not altogether relish my re
ply. Afterward he contented himself
by asking me ahbout the suffragettes.
“Is it true that they have re}lly
burnt down Buckingham Palace?
As 1 dld not expect to find a Ger
man, much less a Grand Duke, capa
ble of following all the issues in
volved in the woman suffrage move
ment, I allowed this and other sallies
to pass.
The Grand Duke had some admir
able qualities, such as reliability,
punctuality ard a wonderful serene
temper, and his life was remarkably
well ordered. He lever\spared him
self, and took definfte trouble to con
duct his little court exactly on the
same lines as that of Potsdam.
Fraulein von Bulow, who Kad been
frequently at the Kaiser's court, was
much too well bred to make any com
parisens between that and the one at
Oldenburg. Sometimes I heard, how
ever, Frau von Guretsky express her
horror of the people who were re
ceived by the Grand Duke. Raising
her hunds after some such assemblage
#s we found at the races, she would
exclaim, “Was fur :ente—'!:eher Gott"”
(Great Heavens! What *awful peo
ple!) With that she would roll her
eyes and arrange her aquiline fea
tures in the manner she deemed cor
rect and fitting for her great position
