j GERMANY’S FLAGS. j
John F. Muller, in the New York Evening Post.
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.
From the Cornell Widow,
j "My father was killed in a feud."
"I never would ride in one of those
( cheap cars."
