When Piench politiceal ideas finally
touched Prussia, they did not come
as suggestions to the Prussfan mind,
they tame as peril to the Prussian
state. They came,. finally,. incarnate

that the Prussians should see in himt
anything which represented progress,

inay call Napoleonism was fartailiaT
to them. The Corsican codified the
aws, as Frederick William had done.
He stood for the construction of great
works and for the selection of
officials for effectiveness, and these

At the beginning of the nineteenth
century Prussia had an economic -milt
itary system which, ahnost one hun-
dred years old, was still more than
one hundred years ahead of the sys-
tems of England and France. She had.
produeed the supreme military genius
of the country before Napoleon. She
had had experience of democracy as a
force generated by national waste,
injustice, and want, which, once pro-
duced, violated her every cherished -
conception of international right and
inspired to tear down the structures
of _nations and put its heel on the neck
of the world. She saw in Napoleon's
most lauded constructive poheies no-
thing that 'Frederick William had uot
known and practiced. In accounting
for Gemnany's reemet-day .attitude
'towards idemteera.cy we must !Over
fort that at the close of

kings who stand among the supreme
ruling geniuses of the world, Prussia
was called upon to help capture and
cage Napoleon -who to her was the
product of democracy of popular rule
--as a farmer mightebe called •upon
to help capture a predatory wolf.
• How can a nation doubt its his-
tory? Prussia had been blessed by
autocracy and cursed by democracy.
We know that there are strange chan-
ces in national life as well as individu-
al life, and that Prussian history dur-
ing this period went directly-, counter
to the general experience of mankind.
But Prussia was mad by her own edi-
perience, and not by general averages
of the history of nations.
The time when Prussia ought to
have beee slowly infiltrated by demo-
cratic ideas was during the period be-
tween the seventy-three years of rider-
ship by geniuses and the days of Bis-
marek and William L This was the
,period of the three - weak Frederica
Williams. But her pores were hermet-
ically -closed to the permeative In-
fluences of democracy by her experi-
ence with Napoleon; she khew little or
nothing of the political experience in
England, and less than nothing of that
of the Upited States So she resisted
the influences of '48 in large 'Leasure
after a half -century in which - the in-
tellectual and spiritual forces of -Prus-
sian patriotism, splendidly Manifest in
men like Jahn and Fichte and Schleier-
macher, had been largely consumed ui
nerving it nation to resist tyranny
• that had been wreaked under the spec-
ious watchwords of liberty and equal-
ity.
The year 1861, came and Prince
William already regent, beeame Wil-
liam L in October of the next year
Otto Von Bismarek became Prime
Minister of Prussia. Again absolut-
ism worked.,Again Prussian history
moved exactly counter to the general
experience of mankind. William L
was at his wit's end- when Bismarck
took the helm. The national Legisla-
ture had refused the money necessary
to support the enlarged army which
his military sense told him to be ne-
cessary. His abdication was drawn
up and signed as he talked with Bis-
marck in the park at Babelsberg on
that fateful October day. Bismarck
declared that the main question was
which it should govern -the Crown, or
a majority of the • House of Repre-
sentatives. Then he undertook the
task of "ministerial government with-
out a majority, without a budget, and
without a programme." He carried
this on for four years. "The press
was gagged, 'unfriendlyGovernment
officials deprived of their places, DC/ -
laical discussions forbidden at public
aneetings, and even freedom of speech
in the House itself interfered with by
• the police." This is not an arraign-
ment. 1 quote from a popular history
of Gerrnay "Dedicated by Gracious
Permission to His Royal Highness
Prince Henry of Prussia on the Oc-
casion of His Visit to America."

Germany -as every reader of former

the governing ideas do not come from

All theories of the conduct of the war
are based on the safeguarding of the
centre and fountain of power. If the
people are the fountain of power, then
the people ought to be safeguarded
first' of all. But if a ruling class is
fountain of power, then it ought first
of all to be guarded. And this to the
autocratic mind necessitates fright-
