THE GERMAN IN DEFEAT
(From the Companion)
Through four long years we have hail an opportunity to study tho Ger
man character as it revealed itself in victory or in the hope of victory. Tho
conclusions that we reached were not complimentary. Now for two months,
we have watched the hearing of Germans in defeat, and we cannot revise those
conclusions. Germany in defeat is the reverse of the medal of which Germany
in victory is tho face: the finalities that are stamped cm the one determine
those that are displayed on the other, in appropriately reversed form.
The arrogance that tore up the most solemn treaties and that struck
Idow after blow at smaller and weaker nations finds its complement in the
hasty readiness to make an abject surrender when the tables at last are turned.
Tho. savage cruelty shown to those who were temporarily in the power of the
Germans is replaced by a whimpering idea t>> be spared the hardships ;ynd suf
ferings that must follow invasion. As the Germans fought without chivalry
in victory, so they fight without spirit in defeat. Like their Bulgarian allies,
they would not defend their own soil: when aggression failed they were ready
to quit. Their navy surrendered without striking a blow. The kaiser ran
away in a panic from his own army and his own people.
It is all explicable enough when you get the keyword—materialism,
The Germans would fight for loot, for conquest, for material gain: they would
not fight for anything else. When it began to appear that it would cost a
good deal more to fight than they could hope to make by fighting, they were
only too willing to stop. That may be businesslike, but is also despicable. 1
The case would be different if there were any reason to believe that.
Germany surrendered because it recognized the evil it had done and the false-;
ness of its war time ideals. There is no such reason. There is not the
disposition on tho part of the new German leaders to be repentant or contritO;
in heart. They merely recognize that Germany made a - miscalculation, that,
it would have paid better to keep out of the war. There are a few honorable*
exceptions, but the lie still remains powerful between the llhine and the Vis-;
tula. The people do not look the facts of Belgium, of the submarine war. of
their Eastern policy in the faco and say, "We have sinned.” They do not
even admit that their army was whipped. They lie to one another, just as
tlie imperial government again and again during the war lied to them. Hav
ing avoided the final military catastrophe by begging for petjpe, they boldy
welcome home their “unbeaten" soldiers. The Prussian philosophy, which
teaches arrogance in prosperity, subservience in adversity, materialism and de
ceit always, has marked this people so deeply that no political revolution can
alter their habit of mind.
It is even questionable whether a genuine revolution is yet possible in
Germany. The material disturbance and loss that accompany such occasions
frighten the German. His ingrained disposition to obey some one else unfits
him for the job of tho revolutionary. It is dangerous to predict in such times
as these, but the German soldiers returning from the front show little of the
eager reforming spirit. They will give the Ebert government its chance, since
the imperial party made a mess of things; but if the moderate Socialists fail,
as they very well may, a reaction to monarchy is more likely than a further
decline to Bolshevism.
TWENTY TWO CROWNS FALLEN IN GERMANY
Germany has transformed its political regime. A republic has been
proclaimed in Munich, and another in Berlin. One after another, the emperor,
the kings, the grand dukes and petty princes of the reigning houses have ab
dicated and, in some cases, fled. Thus, twenty two crowns in all have fallen
