BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN: Germany’s Foremost Publicist. By Cable to The Star. BERLIN, February 26.—With lowered but still clanking vizor and with heavy fist, the militar- istic and monarthistic will of Prussia is knocking at the wood- en door of the German republic. Will /it hold or break? That is thé most important question con- fronting the German people to- day. We ‘read today that at the new “election for the Prugsian parlia- ment, five and one-quarter million votes—which is more than one- third of all votes 'given—fell on _monarchistic eandidates, and of, the three million constituents of the center Catholic party, and even among the badly beaten dem- scrats, there are great numbers who long for a return to the old .egime.' Next to this occurrence the oscillations of the scales of power moved by the election fade <o unimportance, and every one scems indifferent 1o the question whether the larger national so- cialistic rhiddte-class party, which was able to assert itself against the two radical groups of bolshe- viks and mensheviks, will again help the government bear its de- lights and its burdens. * % * X In order to better understand the situation, it is well to turn the dusty pages of history and study the rise of Prussian power. Old Prussia was represented by barracks’ kept scrupulously clean by the most dukiful and industrious military ‘red tape of officialdom and functionally supplied with the necessary recruits. - Out of these barracks came the army which con- quered Silesia and’gained for the empire of Frederick the Great the right to rank among the foremost powers of Europe. The object of this state was to secure, by force of arms, new ter- ritory for expansion, and to in- crease the wealth of the farmer and merchant in the growing coun- try to such an extent that the rul- ing powers would forever be safe against any attempted rebellion. The state purposed to carry out these means through the old spirit of patriarchism, embellished only by practical common sense and -u dominant will, which reduces poli- tics as well as independent ideas into a religion conceiving the mon- archy and the state as a sacra- mental unity. After the collapse of Napoleon a new Prussia seemed to arise. From the west Freiherr von Stein of Nassau brought mild liberalism and municipal autonomy, and Scharnhorst of Hanover applied the theory: of universal military service {(at first proclaimed by- Danton_as a protection aguinst the menace of French revolution). " As a result of these {deas the Ger- ‘ man people arose and cast off the yoke of the Bonapartes. Because of the fact that victory .did not bring the expected fruits—Scharn- borst having died and von Stein having hnen\xg\o disgrace—the longing for the'higher ideals of the state did not reach its goal, ¥ * K * * _ Hemmed in by the restrictions of the old European powers, the Prus- sians again found themselves forced to use the sword to insure the growth required by their tre- mendous vitality. Barrdcks which _once had housed mercenary troops were rebuilt to suit the require- ments of an army recruited from the people. - And all“the technical implements_of modern industrial works were, placed at the service of the Prussian ~authorities for their free use, and not, as pro- claimed ‘fgnorantly or slaniderous- NORWAY HAS HARD COMMUNISTS PLOT PROMIBITON TASK, INM Force, But Future Course * Bitterly Fought.

For these never- tiring, active people, fair-minded- ness must - acknowledge that their militaristic materialism enriched the exterior life of those they con- quered by sword or strategem. But everywhere these Prussians always felt like conquerors, like masiers, and regarded themselves as superior beings in comparison to the natives. They paid no at- tention to national individualism, did not even understand it. They placed men of their own race in all the most prominent positions and scolded about ingratitude when their arrogance and never- ending mania to create a world ompire was criticised. They brought upén themselves the hatred of those whom they had robbed of spiritual personality. It must be: remembered how all classes, even those of the landed aristocracy and the stiff junkers, were permeated gradually with Prussian-colored commercialism. * x x % Export trade was artificially in- creased by noisy propaganda. Prices were increased within the empire, -while outside there was dumping of products. Evéry prob- lem centered on jmmediate gain. Morality meant nothing in the face of the acquirement of inter- est-bearing ability. Everywhere Prussians -super- . seded the pure German peoples as leaders—leaders always .to be feared, sometimes to be admired, but never to be loyed. Tt Was Prussia’s November storm, not the blizzards at Kiel and Munich, that destroyed the empire. Through it, together with the old army and the fanatical belief in its invin- cibleness, Prussia must die; since its historical pedagogical mission has exceeded its limits. But the German Spartan does not feel withered. He offers re- sistance with the claws and teeth —for he has no other weapons— against the attempt to shut hin® &into his coffin, and answers with derisive ldughter. the demand . that he adapt himself to a new form of life and sacrifice his spe- cial religion.

The same commissioners who counted the vote there have been assigned to count'the vote in upper Silesia in March, Most_of these men are British, and when it is considered that England will send four battalions of troops to keep order im the plebiscite district, it seems assured that the German voters will be fairly treated in spite of all reports to the contrary.
