Does the.. German flag mean to the German the same that our Stars and Stripes mean to the American? Born and brought up in Germany, and having served in the German army, I can speak from experience. Of course, the German has his flag, yet flags would perhaps better express it, because, aside from the national German colors, black, white and red, each state has its colors, which are shown just as much as, and probably even more than, those of the empire. For instance, whenever we had occasion to fly flags in our town there were fully as many green and white ones—the Saxon colors—as there were of black, white and red. Yet it must not be un derstood that these were hoisted together. No, if a man had a Saxon flag that was all he had, while his neighbor had just the German standard. But the greatest difference lies in what the flag stands for. Ask an American and he will unhesitatingly tell you that the Stars and Stripes stand for freedom and democracy. Ask a German, and he will have no answer, except that black, white, and red stand for German, green and white for Saxon, black and white for Prussian, and so on. We were never told when going to school of any ideals either the German or Saxon flag represented. When joining the army, we had to swear by a flag—not the German flag, but the regimental standard in Saxon colors, which simply meant to bo loyal to the emperor; and as I now look at it, swear away what little thought of freedom there may have been, and submit without ques tion to serving in absolute blind obedience to greatest autocrat the world has evef known. Was the flag over there such an inspir ing, sacred emblem as here? Never! True, we had regimental standards, that is, each battalion had its flag, but it is very nuie anyone could tell about tnern 11 asked to give a description. All I know is that those of my regiment were not German colors, but Sajcon—green and white. And why this seeming ignorance? Because I know of but two occasions in my entire military service when the flags were unfurled—when swearing in the recruits and during .the review on the king's birthday. Although on other occa sions, such as drills in battalions or larger units and during maneuvers, the flags were present, they were never unfurled, but always carefully rolled ar.d wrapped in an oilcloth cover. After all, the regi mental colors were oui* .highest conception of a flag, because, whether unfurled or wrapped, we had always to give them the same salute as that accorded to his majesty himself. In other words, the flag represented a personality Instead of being an emblem for noble ideals. AS a general thing, flags meant in Ger many ov.Iy so much bunting. They were hoisted on the king's birthday with no more enthusiasm, and perhaps not even as extensively, than when the Cross Bow Shooting society or. any other society had its annual festivities in midsummer. Of course, in those circumstances it mattered not whether the flag was black, white, red or green and white or something else, as long as it made * gay picture. Could you think of a parade here with out at least one American flag? Never. Yet in Germany they don’t even have the national colors on such occasions, and sometimes no flag at all. How proudly everyone here carries the American flag whenever we have a parade and it in variably arouses profound enthusiasm. It is not the pretty colors—a beautiful flag though it is—that stir us. but the ideals which that greatest of all flags represent. Even children here manifest an enthusi asm for their flag such as I have never seen with the Germans. Napoleon and Wellington. From the Wall Street Journal. Allowing that battles In the present war are matters of weeks, and not of hours, there is a singular parallel between the German drive, mainly directed against the British, and Napoleon’s last cam paign, which terminated at ‘Waterloo. Napoleon is reported to have said that the British lost every battle but the last one. and, although this war, not true of Wellington's campaigns in the peninsula, there is stttl much truth in the epigram. If the palpable existence of the British empire proves anything it shows that the British lose battles but win wars. Although the numbers engaged on both sides at WatcrlCQ were trifling, in the light of modern figures, the battle was one of the greatest in history and was, moreover, decisive. It will be remem bered that the Belgians quit early in the forenoon, believing the battle lost, and that Blucher and his Prussians had been defeated by Grouchy, but had evaded the victor, joining Wellington’s forces in the afternoon. But for the greater part of the day Napoleon, with superior num bers, in assault after assault, played the part r-t Hindenburg. while Wellington made that desperate defensive fight in which the British have few equals and no superiors. lie was, in fact, prepared to do what Haig is doing now, while Napo ! Icon realized that If he did not crush the British his audacious campaign would leave the conflict undecided, even if Grouchy had succeeded in intercepting Blucher as he should have done. There Is a striking similarity in the present position and one which is ob viously understood l>y General Foch, who is an ideal commander for the allied army in the respect that he understands the British and American qualities. Jfe knows how to make use of them, as his works on war strategy show, even if the victory of the Marne had not demonstrated his capacity. He has another would-be Na poleon on the other side of the Khine for hi> opponent, and whatever minor gains the prodigal waste of German soldiers may have registered the enemy’s position is now ro better than Napoleon's would have been had the result of Waterloo b:*en inch'd: ive. This is the secret of the profound con ! faience displayed by the allies and ex | pressed by all military authorities able to | read results correctly. INiuienbury, who j pledged himself to he in Paris on April ! I. Is already talking of a “German peace** as last as August. In view of his object ive, and the substitution for his original plan of attacks along an over, extended front, in the hope of some such lucky re sult as almost happened when General Carey blocked the road to Amiens with Ills improvised battalions of engineers and civilians, who literally hardly knew one end of a gun from the other, his predictions can scarcely convince the outside observer. I That is a kind of opportunity which is ! not likely to happen a second time; hut when the kaiser Is playing his last des perate stake, an increasing disposition to trust to luck In spile of all German method and prevision is sufficiently evi dent to account for the allied confidence in ultimate results. America by Comparison. George Pattullo.Jn tho Saturday Evening Post. ' Europe! I wouldn’t give half an acre of American soil for all I’ve seen—not Tf I had to live over there. It Isn’t that the | European countries aren't beautiful, for they are—perhaps lovelier than our more rugged land can ever hopo to be, and the^- have everything to make existence easy and comfortable. But the life is ! belittling, that’s the truth. What the i causes back of it may be, I don’t know— i probably It’s their social system; anyhow, Europeans aren't so broad gauged as Americans. - Of course, the average ; European would hoot at that, He con ! siders an American an uncouth barbarian, | because the American happens to have | customs that differ from ills own; but i he’s welcome to his delusion, j The European thinks and acts by rule of | thumb. He is'suspicious of his neighbors i and hates other nationalities. Now, with I all our faults, as a people, we don’t hate | anybody. We haven't time. Anyway, what’s tho use? Besides, why should we? ' A man hates for two reasons—envy and | fear. Wo aren’t-afraid of anybody so you j could notice it, and we don’t have to envy , any nation. j My own theory about the difference be ' tween the European and American view , point is that, ours Is a land of hope. Over | there, there isn’t much ahead of the aver age man, his opportunities are so limited, : and that makes him spiteful. But i.i the | United States any live wire with brains j can get a strangle hold on the whole , round earth if he is man enough to go , after It, so he has small time for envy of i In Kurope they are Ions past the noon of achievement, and we—well, we're fac ing the dawn. j Our people will he tremendously changed, though, at the end of this business. Mix ing with all kinds of nationalities, tho boys are broadening a lot. They'll have new Ideas of geography and the other peoples of the earth, and they will junk a lot of tlie shibboleths of the past. And America will have to be mighty careful about Immigration. About 50 per cent of the young folks you talk to over there say they're going to the United States when the war is over. Unless their own governments prohibit immigration, we’ll have to put up the bars or be fairly swamped. They think wo re the luckiest people alive. For a long while the average French kid was persuaded that all Ameri can soldiers marched in motor cars. The Imperial Crocodile. From the Chicago Herald. The crocodile should henceforth be a sacred animal In Germany. That coun try’s Imperial master has patterned after it on several notable occasions. At the beginning of the war he sorrowed over the French, a "great people once but now sadly degenerated.” He would be sorrow ing stiil over them if they hadn't given him real cause to sorrow over the fact that they were brave, virile and In domitable. His sadness over Ihe destruction of Louvain is st»U remembered bb one of the finest examples of crocodile tears ever produced "In any country. And now he grieves over tho destruction occasioned by the present offensive. "What have I not done to preserve the world from such horrors!” he exclaimed with that ready instinct for imperial justification so £fton exhibited. It would take, too much time to enumerate the things that he lias not done to preserve the world from the hor rors in question. The world accords tho latest example of crocodile sorrow merely a pasting glance of contempt. By this time, in all probability, tils grief has become more sincere, if more con cealed. The mountains of German dead ; afford him ground for genuine perturba tion. Tho failure of the German drive to out through the allied lines with tho expected celerity must likewise awaken anxiety in the imperial mind. But of this ho naturally says nothing; that sort of thing is not for publication. It would not help holster his rotten dynasty with til* deluded peculation. Not Heavy Enough.
