O MILITARISM the uses of adversity are the opposite of eweet. | What gall and wormwood it must be to the Imperial Partner of God to have to bend his epiked helmet and speak aloud a desire “that (he Germarf people shall co-operate more effectively than hitherto in deciding the fate of the fatheriand.” | That contented German people that used to pay its taxes, admire’ the troops goose-stepping before the All Highest and mind its own business in the fond belief that the Imperial armies could conquer the world and were therefore worth their colossal cost! The game is nearly up and Junkerdom sees nothing for it but to get “the fate of the fatherland” somehow shifted to the bleeding shoulders of the German people along with its own shot-riddled, nine- tenths-done-for carcass.
