PRUSSIAN SOCIALISM
i',v ■ trcm Prussian Socialism” is to suggest
a *ftle<asm. Nevertheless there is socialism of the Prus
sian brand. It is widespread. It is perniciously active
in every country that is at war with Germany, and in oth
er countries beside. It is workn~ overtime for the Prus
sian war lords, at their instigation an l under their direc
tion. 1 he purpose of it is to undermine the war morale
of the nations that are fighting Prussianism. It is a
menace to be recognized and dealt with in the open.
Will Irwin, in his “Letters From the War” published
m the Saturday Evening Post relates this storv, second
hand, the original narrator being an Englishman, recently
from Constantinople. The story is half fiction, half fact.1
First the fiction, a little drama of the Englishman’s
invention:
Tallat Pasha, Turkish minister of foreign affairs,
summons Kennel, his very olx*dient and resourceful sec
retarv.
•
Kennel, says lallat Pasha, “what is a socialist?”
"I don’t know. Excellency. What in time is a social- ■'
ist?”
“I asked you," said the minister. “We must have
some socialists. Here is a letter from those troubles7'
people in Berlin. They say they will he a socialist ,me 1T
ence at Stockholm and we are to send at leas* fpr_
gates. Find me socialists.” ' dele- J
• JCfinpel protested. Obedience be’ \
f eels hnpeiled to do as his master . . lnn_ ,uit he
tvere no socialists in Turkey r Alg hlS g 1 '
•etumed to his master wi>-' (temands- ,But“‘nnd '
‘re no socialists in Turk- >" after a fewdays S'
ut there are none ir .n that information. Theic ,
“Very well,” ey. I do-not know what they are,
aliah. He i<- .1 Turkey."
le is to br answers Tallat, “send tor Nassim ^ as
A* . Jewish unbeliever and may be anything.
e<-'' a socialist, and bring two other socialists.
„ this point in the story the fiction ends and the fact
ms. There were three alleged socialist delegates from
1'urkev at the Stockholm Terence. The Swedish pres
ident asked the leader of the Turkish delegation to name
the school of socialism he represented. He also wanted j
to sea the credentials of the Turkish socialist delegation.
The chairman of the delegates was stumped. He knew
nothing of schools of socialism. The situation was ti
harassing. But. standing by were socialist delegates
, .from Berlin, wig-wagging and giving the grand hailing
signs in various shrugs and winks. As a last resort, a,
diversion was created, and in the contusion the thiee ui
kish delegates were shunted by three Berlin conferees in
to the corridor, where it is to he presumed the A B C of
socialism was presented to them. It is a matter of furt -
or fact that the first conference was a failure and theie
was a postponement to a later date, pending which, the
three Turkish delegates are hard at work, eight hours a
day. in Berlin, under a professor in economics; and Kennel
is hack in Constantinople organizing socialist locals.
Though of fact and fiction this story is half and half,
it serves to illustrate precisely what is meant by Piussian
socialism. That is the brand of socialism which is work
ing insidously and with malicious intent under the mastei
ship of Prussia in this country, in France, in Italy, in
* Great Britain, and more openly in Russia—the brand of
socialism that is made the tool of tyranny. High minded
intelligence, that is not to be deceived by the mastercraft
of Prussian suggestion, has nothing to do with the propa
ganda in which this class of socialism is engaged; for the
end of it, if that propaganda were to succeed, would be
'.lx* death oi socialism which works honestly and earnestly'
101- the betterment of human conditions. *
Prussian unscrupulousness will not falter over ihp
use of any agency that will tend to advance the PrrJZ
v use. Whether the need be an economic doctrine 0n re
gion. Prussianism will manufacture either on e to suit
the occasion It matters not that there are r» sociaHsts

mok^d around the town,
1 gazed upon its fairness
{ And gazed without a frown,
I walked up and down Third Avenue,
I looked aeioss the bay,
And walked around the. waterfront
Wh«*re the* ships, at anchor lay.
! marveled at Young Broadway,
With many a pleasing thought
About the fine and snappy stores I
saw,
That success had surely wrought.
I walked down to the saw-mill ,
Ami passed such pretty homes,
That it seemed just like a Paradise;
Why need one further roam?
I looked upon .Marathon Mountain,
The scene of many a strife,
I looked at it all and wondered,
Ah! Alaska is the Life!
And I looked upon the faces
Of tin* children out, at play,
And they seemed more bright andt
sweeter far,
i nan 1 ve seen in many a day.
Ami my soul goes out in wonder
At the Sunsets and the Dawn,
W here the Hand of the Creator
Has marked it for His Own.
And I sit by the fireside evenings
When the wind is sighing, low.
And it gives a sense of contentmentJ
I hat Alaska alone can show.
Put. the Kvening Paper upon rrty kneej
(iives the first touch out of tune,
l or the Jitney Jingles, tangles. tingles/
W hat brain I call my own.
por, who is the J. P. Momb Uuu’s gone!
To Kern Creek, out the way?
And why has he so much to learn
Why not throw him in the Bay!
And \n iio is the fail* Margaret
We hear so much about?
