GERMANY'S RUIN PREDICTED IN MEMOIRS OF BISMARCK Government of the Republic Urged tolt Circulate Recently Published Vol- ume to Combat Monarchists. BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN. Germany's Foremost Publicist. By Cable to The Star. BERLIN, October 15.—If the gov- ernment of this German republic does not at once use the third volume of Bismarck's memoirs, just now pub- ished after having been Jong delayed by the tricks of Kalser Wilhelm, it must never complain of new dangers to its young life. 1 have advised the government to select those parts of the book which indicate the character of monarchy. and of the last monarch in particu- Jar, and to circulate them free, or. if Tecessary, as paid supplements to the official papers. They should be dis- tributed to all classes of Germans. even those abroad. - Unfortunately this is not being done vet. Fear of the nationallat party furies, who, if they do not use the “whip, the dagger. or tar and feathers, nevertheless try to terror- ize the more timid of our public offi- cials and thus prevent any Strong agitation against the old regime. of which only a memory o power and glory remains after seven suffering. third volume we read ung Prince Wilheim, re- his father for his i presumption and his and is able to rule a great people as he chooses, being protected from ciriticism by his inherited name and the old supersti- tion of special consecration known as “the divine right of kings." his maturity, vanity, becomes emperor. vears of ; tle of that war, and he often won- dered in his later years whether his conduct had been justifiable in hav- ing helped to make three wars, con- sequently causing many deaths. Bis- marck was not a good soldier, be- cause resignation and silent obe- dience were impossible for him. Put- ting responsibility on others he con- | stdered_cowaraly. A monarch's will and signature were to him no sub- | stitute for a free man’s inmost con- ‘ fallen victims of the one great bat- I victions. Therefore he soon became embar- rassing and unbearable to the third emperor, our Wilhelm II. now resi- dent in Holland. The latter wanted the German people to see in him and his ancestors alone their source of jglory and happiness. Contrary to historical facts he called his grand- father, whose greatest virtue was his subordination to Bismarck's genius, “Wilhelm the Great.” B At the beginning of the twentieth century in consonance with his in- fantile belief that “the king's will is the highest la; he dismissed the chancellor, in weak- i pker Bismarck, born in of «Napoleon's abdi 1815, the ) . be- n to reflact for the first time its meaning. There arose then the ques- tion as to whether the institution could be upheld, giving-a young man of theatrical temperament the possi- bility of ruining the empire—a young man whose own father shortly before had desired to exclude from interna- tional pofitics as being too immature ) and self-satisfied. Germai Ruin Predlcted. Bismarck never doubted that Wil- helm 11 would ruin the empire afte he had once become intimately quainted with him. He said to me.

Yet, Bismarck calls him- | self a monarchist. Certainly he is a| me hist of ap unusual kind. When Wilhelm 1 was made Emperor of the German empire after the flrsl‘ treaty of Versailles, that frank and, nest monarch was angry with the! on chancellor” because Bismarck d been unyielding on the question titles, though he had saved the P'russian throne and had made Wi Leim the first German kaiser.

He wrote a book warnin tion whose majority, however, was against him and for the kaiser.” This was in 1890. The third volume of the book is especially important, as it pictures the emperor and gives an authorized warning from the empire’s creator against a dilettant absolutism leading Inevitably to ruin. 2 Never since the days of Isatah and | Jeremiah have prophecies been more ! painfully truc. The book unfortu- nately comes 0o late. In it is the tragically ironical sentence: “I hope the mext genciation will reap ne fruit of royal self-confidence.” Tt has reaped, and the taste of the fruit is bitter to the tongue. : He who thought himself like God, high above the others in every sphere of human understanding and knowl- the na- 1 of 4 annexations nor | march trivmphantly into Vienna. : edge, is now in Doorn.

We see a the old theory coming to the 1:unt that there are “two Germanys” &y old Germany which willed the var, and a new Germany which Is to Le trusted. to live forever at peace with her fieighbors. Certainly in Germany there is a difference of opinion as there Is in all countries. But closely following the events of the last twenty months, it is impossible to admit that no com- u_basis lles beneath these appar- ent divergencie: In 1814 the reichstag voted unanl- mously for a war of aggression. Not until we had won a victory at the Marne did a single Germ rise ugalnst the “fresh and Jjoyous™ war. 1t was necessary for us first to de- feat the German armies to produce the protests of the social indepen- . dents.

The two Germanys—If there - are two—were a unit in a common aim in 1914, and are a unit today, with cer- fain form differences, when.the ques- tion of fulfilling the obligations of 1813 are taken up.

It is quite possible that Wirth himself is a partisan of the policy of correctly mfiyln. out Germany's engagement Certain of his deeds permit us to b lieve so. Baut if this is his convictio it does not go far enough to encou age him to resist those professing a contrary view. When the chancellor insists, contrary to the treaty of Ver- saflles, and contrary to the decision of the arbitrators, in claiming the whole of Upper Silesia undivided; whgn he urges an mpossible solution of the controversy, he probably hopes to disarm his opponents of the party of the right. Hut in reality he encourages them and puts himself jn their hands. If any one country has reasons to deslre & moral change In Germany it 1s France. We have knéwn Germany too well—by terrible experience—by her victory of 1870, by the inability of the world to prevent the Germai from becoming the aggressors in 1914. We know that only & new spirit in Germany will bring a real peace guar- antee. 2 If the recent agreement signed at Weisbaden bstween M.

These operations consisted of the sale of:Russian gold {to foreign banks, principally Swedish and French, which in turn sold it to the United ‘States.

As i the French mint refused to perform !a similar service, the gold brought to Francé was largely in foreign coin, carefully sorted out from the Russian | government's reserves. All this gold thad to pass the French customs both {coming and going, and the French {overnment could hardly have been | Ignorant of what was going on.
