“The Only Person Germans
Do Not Fear Is God ”
“Christine” is the title of a collec
tion of letters written home before
the war by a young girl who while
studying music in Germany, died
in Stuttgart in August, 1914. The
publication is edited by the —girl’s
mother. The following shines
like a searchlight over Kaiserland:
We select the honest confession
of Herr Kloster, master of the vio
lin, made before his lips had been
sealed by the bestowal of a glit
tering imperial order, thus:
“In no other country is there
more than one king, In ours we
find three and an emperor neces
sary. The savage who fears all
things does not fear more than we
Germans. We fear other nations,
we fear other people, we fear pub
lic opinion to an extent incredible,
and tremble before the opinion of
our servants and tradespeople; we
fear our own manners and there
fore are obliged to preserve the
idiotic practice of duelling, in
which as often us not the man
whose honor isbeing satisfied is the
one who is killed; we fear all those
.above us, of whom there are inva
riably a great many; we fear all of
ficials, and our country drips with
officials. The only person we do
not fear is God.”
It is conscience that makes moral
oowards of the Herman people
Their fear of other nations is the
natural dread of the just wrath of
those they have wronged or would
wrong. Their fear of publec opin
ion is the result of a guilty cou
scienoeness of their own actions
--■'Their fear of their owu manners
is a confession of evil aud their
fear of their rulers is the fullanima)
submission of a people too stolid
t > strike a blow for their owu free
dom.— Vicksburg Herald.
