German "Kultur"
The following remarkable better was
I written by a Prussian school miss of
good social position to a lady friend
'in Switzerland, a teacher of French:
j Frankfort-on-Oder, July, 20, 1916 '
i My Dear Louise: The contents of
j your last letter would have hurt me
had I not known that your thoughts
of our glorious war resulted from!
sheer ignorance.
You are in a country rendered ef
feminate by the influences of old-fash
ior.ed ideas of liberty, a country which1
is at least two centuries behind Ours
You are in need of a good dose of Prus
sian culture.
It is evident that you, a Swiss girl,
with your French sympathies, can noi
understand how my heart, the heart
o'f a young German girl, passionately,
desired this war. Speaking of it some,
years ago, my father said to us.
"Children, Germany is getting too!
small for us; we hfeve to ? >
France again in order to find more
room." Is it our faul if France will
not undej^tand that more money And I
land are necessary fqr us?
And you reprorvh us thn!: o ir sol-'
diers have been very cruel to the Bel
-inn rabble, and yo.i speak also of the
destruction of Rheims, and of the
burning of villages and towns. Well,
that is war. As in every othe * under-
taking, we are pastmasters in the mak-
ing of war.
You have a great deal to learn be
fore you can come up ; o pur s n lard
been done so far is i mere bagatelle
compared with what will follow.
As a matter of fact, theie is b it
one race worthy of ruling the world
and which has already attained the
highest degree of civilization. The
race is ou s, the Prussians; for
though we Germans in general are the
lords of the world, the Prussian is un-
doubtedly the lord r excellence
among the Germans.
All other nations, and among th- i
unfortu 11 Q e S s, are I
crate and of inferior worth. That is
why I l ave alwa. ■ been proud ef
being a true Prussian.
Yesterday, again, our pastor ex-
plained to us convincingly that out
first parents, Adam and Eve, were
also Prussian. That is quite easy to
understand, because the Bible tells
us that the German God created
all after his own image. If, then, ail
men are decendqd from Adam and
his wife, it follows that only Prus-
