"Hie King Reigns, But"
How Long ffill He Reign?
Ad East Side Operator.
A Princeton Professor.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE.
(Coprrlsht. 1111.)
' Give it time, and a sound politi
cal -h will win. Thiers, the
French statesman, defying mon
archy at a dangerous time, put at
the head of his editorial column
in ht Nationals this motto:
THE KING REIGNS, BUT
DOES NOT GOVERN."
That statement soon became
truth in every European king
dom except Prussia and Russia.
In a Reichstag debate on Janu
ary 24th, 1882, Prince Bismarck,
defending the right of the Prus
sian King to reign, said: The
maxim: The King reigns, but
does not govern,' does not apply
to Germany, and the expression,
'ministerial responsibility,' is
equally absurd."
Today you leam that the motto
of Thiers has at last reached Prus
sia. The King 'and Emperor has
lost control of the army, Lis "war
making machine. He reigns, but
does not govern, and the question
now is, "How long will he rcijcn?"
In Russia, the Czar neither
reigns nor governs. He lies in the
ground, put there by Mr. Trotsky,
recently an operator in a factory
on the East Side of New York
city.
A. New York garment worker
rules Russia and destroys the
Csar. And a professor from
Princeton College, now President
of the United States, tells the
German Kaiser on what terms he
can nave "peace.
"He hath lifted up the humble"
With a vengeance.
ji'
'Germany wants to know Just
what can be done in the way of
an armistice.
This would' seem merely another;
. of the manv Questions and an
swers, but you know that Colonefw
House s in Europe, you read that
Balfour and Lloyd George have
started for Versailles. It seems'
probable that the ending" isHo be
arranged -on the spot where Bis-,
marck and ihe King he made Em-'
Peror negotiated the peace with
Prance after therwar of 1870, "
Bismarck, If his ghost could
come, back, eft in' the Beiehstag,'
read the papers,, and see grown
old the face of the young Kaiser
thai threw him overboard, would
know that war in the Jong -run
does not pay.
It destroys the Innocent. seti
bade' civilization, and is profitable
neither to the vanquished nor the
victor. Bismarck took- from
France in cash five thousand mil-:,,
lion francs and in human blood?
millions "oz gallons. This war has
taken from Germany more money
than that every month for four
years and more blood. It will take
back Alsace-Lorraine and prob
abrjr take away the German
colonies.
The President of the United
States jserves all lumanity. and
the future of the human race on
every foot of the earth's surface,
including Germany, when he de
mands that this war be ended in
a fashion to make permanent peace
possible. There is nothing in war
but loss for humanity.
Everybody apparently speaks
hi mind in Germany now, with
out fear of the censor. One man
invites the Kaiser to abdicate:
Liebknecht, Socialist, let out of
prison, demands a- republic with
out loss of time. Maximilian
Harden, the Jewish writer, who
has been expressing his opinion all
along, apparently fearless of con
sequence, says this:
- "We (Germany) sit today on
the ruins of thirty years of Ho
henxojlern politics."
Germany Is .paying a big price
for the Hohenzollerns and their
day of glory. But In the life of a
nation thirty years Is not long.
France endured the squandering
and the wars of Louis the Four
teenth for seventy-two years. He
mounted the throne at the age of
five, and died at seventy-seven.
France endured Louis Fifteenth
and more than twenty years of
Louis the Sixteenth, but when the
time came to free herself, she did
the Job thoroughly.
For the Hohenzollerns to be
checked suddenly in their plans
and progress Is not a new ex
perience. Frederick the Great had his own
way and died, and soon Napoleon
was condescendingly permitting
Prussia to keep a few thousand sol
diers under arms when the Prus
sian Queen, humbly requested it
because It was necessary "for the
dignity and protection of the royal
family." Napoleon's original In
tention was to let Prussia hare no
soldiers at all.
The resourceful Prussians kept
the army small, as Napoleon or
dered, but constantly took new
men Into the army and turned
them out again as fast as they
were taught, thus training a great
number of men and having them
ready for war when wanted, al
though not in uniform.
Any plan to put the Hohenzol
lerns out of business permanently
must be very drastic and without
loopholes, which President Wilson
well know
