Zurich Herald, 1916-07-21, Page 3SWOLLEN -HEADED HUNS SILLY TALK GOOD EXAMPLE OF STUFF WRIT- TEN FOR TEUTONS. German Privy Councillor's Book Raves About Teuton Power. Privy Councillor Muthesius' book, "The German After the War," affords abundant material for a study of the new German meigalomania. We see in these pages a faithful reflection of the Swollen -headed Hun seeking to per- suade the world to accept him at his own inflated valuation. There is a chapter headed "Estab- lishing the German Mi ht Legend," in which it is declared that the duty of every patriotic German is to noise abroad the legend of Germany's pow- er, her invincibility, and the inevit- able destruction of those who have the temerity to dispute it. It is hard to understand why Herr Muthesius uses the word "legend," especially as legends are usually regarded as un- certain guides to historical truth. Invincibility is a reputation which Germans will acquire at the cost of the nation which has hitherto been regarded as the ruler of the world- the English. And it will be the task of Germany, when the legend of her ingincibility has been firmly estab- lished,to cleanse the world of "the Britis-French-Italian filth with which the entire globe has been cov- ered." It is, therefore, not•enough to be' in possession of power. Possession must be trumpeted abroad. No great ruler, no world -dominating nation has ever yet neglected the externals of power, the symbolical representation of its might. It is not enough, says the author, that power is there. This power musgt be known to all the world, there must be no doubts about it. Tt must be a cardinal belief of the entire civilized world, German Power Legend. This is the German power legend. The war would never have been en- tered on, this loosening of all the low- est human passions would never have broken forth, had the legend of Ger- man power been a part of the world's convictions. E'niland would have hesitated to drive the Continental powers to carnage. Another chapter in Herr Muthe- -"Mud' book deals with "The New World." • The nations who, have led the world for a thousand years are abdicating, and a new nation is rising. The "Geheimrat" tells us that the south- ern countries, with their Latin kul- tur, are played out. Their departure from the stage is accompanied by a deluge of words and "slobbering abuse." Germany rises mighty and majestic, a youthful !giant, from whom all weapons glance off, the stroke of the sword as well as the poisoned word. On one side a flood of phrases, a chaos of words, and no deeds. On the other no words, but firm conviction and unshakable pow- er. France, Italy, Russia, even Eng- land, have deceived themselves since the war began with the sound of their boastful utterances. Germany is si- lent and has not even yet declared its war aims. Germany's eyes are opened, says the Privy Councillor, and she now sees that the nations she admired for so long are no longer admirable in any sense. They are rapidly sinking, and for Germany they will never again occupy the pedestal on which Germans in their simplicity placed them. These decadent nations no longer show a trace of manliness. Latin World Sinking. After the war there will be two serorlds—the sinking Latin world, and the rising Germanic world, No one is any longer in doubt as to which of these worlds the future belonlgs. Victory by the Germanic world, says the author, was decreed long be- fore the war. Italy had long been eliminated, and as for France, her power for a long time had only been a matter of tradition. In this lordly fashion Herr Muthesius waves Franco aside, He is more interested in the future of the Germanic world. What nation is to lead it? England clearly not. With all her riches, England's masses rema'en raw, without school- ing, and addicted to the lowest pas- sions. A nation like England can never attain to the hegemony of the Germ rie Weald. This will be Ger- many's placo, the author assures us, because Germany has dignity and self-eontrel as well as power, be- • eauso shesdlive to her ethical du- ties toweeds her fellowmen, because she is determined to get rid of her pre-war faults, and "to cultivate her slumbering+ es'Gtues to maturity." One should learn to talk well-- alseewhen it is well not to talk. 1 SHS{' eath.r- eiter lamer SOW) BY /U .

The English Admiral Ingram says that the red shirt had its origin in stern necessity and that its adoption was caused by the need of clothing as economically as possible the legion that Garibaldi had raised for the liberation of Italy. An offer was made by a tradesman to supply at a reduced price a large stock of red woolen shirts. This of- fer was eagerly closed on. Before many years had passed the red shirts became the symbol not merely of the legion but of the new spirit working. for the liberation of Italy. SUMMER HEAT HARD ON BABY 1\'o season of the year is so danger- ous to the life of little ones as is the. summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand the baby may be beyond all human help before the mother realizes he is i11. Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dysen- try and colic are most prevalent. Any one of these troubles may prqve dead- ly if not promptly treated. During the summer the mothers best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They regu- late the bowels, sweeten thestomach and keep baby healthy. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

A honest citizen of Brussels, re- turning home late at night under artificial stimulation .and singing at the bop of his voice, was apprehend - ad by a German patrol, says the E''ero Belge. The citizen resisted, 'and'' after a scuffle broke away from his captors and fell into the canal. Unable to swim, he began bo call for help without eliciting response from the German policemen, who seemed to think this was as good a way as any out of the situation. Just as he was going down for the third time the fugitive had a happy thought. With all his remaining strength he yelled: • "Vive la France! Vive la France!" A couple of Gernians dived for him at once. He was hauled out, taken to the lockup and the next clay, sentenced to three months for ut- tering seditious cries.

They were a very saving old couple, and as a r esult they had a beautifully furnished house. One day the old lady missed her husband. "Joseph, where are you?" she called out.

The Pasteur Institute of Paris has just made the declaration that one of the most powerful stimulants known is milk. It has been in use for months now as the one stimulant for the French soldiers in the trenches, and its effect on them has amply justified the statement made by the famous institute in regard to it. Milk has been used liberally to stimulate the French soldiers before they go into battle and its effects have been such that the French Gov- ernment has urged the sale of milk, in preference to other soft drinks, behind the trenches when the sol- diers go off duty for their spells of rest and recreation. That the qualities of stimulation should be demonstrated on the fight- ing men should commend the bever- age to those engaged in the pursuits of peace in parts of the world where Mars does not now rule. While alco- hol may fire the brain and dull the sensibilities and thus impart a false courage, milk, according to learned scientists of the Pasteur Institute, performs the work of keying up the individual without affecting the keenness of his senses or the cool- ness of his judgment. This is neces- sary to the mode of warfare which this war has exemplified, but it is no less necessary to the man working in the office, in the studio, in the mill, on the farm or elsewhere in the battle for a living. This fluid hitherto has been con- sidered synonymous with all that is mild and peaceful. Advocates of preparedness have referred to "those milk -and -water pacifists." The"milk of human kindness" has no sugges- tion of powerful stimulation. Self -Conceit is a good thing not to let run loose. , AUSTRIAN VIEW OF BELGIUM. Teuton Conquest Means Subjection Not Freedom. Austria does not always see eye to eye with her ally, Germany. While the Austrian censorship sympathizes with the anti -Russian tendencies of Chancellor Von Bethmann-lfollweg, it does not permit discussion of tiie Polish question. As to Belgium, the Socialist Arbeiter Zeitung is peririit- ted to write as follows: "Matters are, of course, quite dif ferent in the west. Even the wildest pettifogger cannot assert that there is a work of liberation to be ac- eomplished in Belgium and in France; that there are here peoples groaning under foreign rule, and that freedom must be brouht to them by the German sword. In the west the principle which the Chancellor right- ly proclaims for the east would signi- fy not liberation but conquest --not the freedom of peoples from foreign rule but their subjection to foreign. rule. The artificial reference to the long op- pressed Flemish races cannot deceive one about the true state of affairs. The question of the national development of the Flemish is a Belgian domestic question, which the Flemings them- selves regard as such, and for which they seek no help from abroad. Whe- ther Walloons or Flemings, both races feel themselves to be Belgians and see their salvation only within the frame- work of an independent Belgium." ncav 3Sinard's Liniment in the house .. came in Thanks are so cheap that there's no excuse for giving them grudg ly.
