The Eugene Register, of last
week, published an article explana
tory of the meaning of the German
word "kultur." The article holds
out the idea that the German people
have been educated to think that
th» Germanic (atopies are superior
to the other peonies of the earth in
noint of scientific attainment and in
general civilization. and it is their
duty to deMM-minat«- this no called
"kultur" in the other nations of the
earth, rim to the extent of using
force to do so. They assume that
they should, because of their fancied
superiority in *>me of the fields of
science, become
the rulers and
masters of all other peoples and the
present war waa inaugurated to en
force or establish thia falsely assum
ed superiority. Tbe opinion sent
forth by the Register seems to have
good ground*. let us me.
One of Germany’s stock in trade
assertions Is; "The war was forced
upon us and we are simply defend
ing the Fatherland.” The develop
ments and history of the war does
not warrant this awertion. Inneed.
the very opposite seems to be true.
An Austrian prince went over into
the neigld>oring state of Serbia and
was asaasMinateiJ by a fanatic. Aus
tria. within two or three days, de
manded apuology and surrender of
the assiuMin. Within a few days
thereafter, the Austrian govern
ment itwued an ultimatum to Serbia,
followed closely with a declaration
of war on Serbia. Russia then came
into action by declaring war on
Auatria-Hungria, Germany then got
busy and declared war on Russia
and at once set her srmi«-s in
motion
Strange to -ay these German
armies, instead <>f n.arching east
ward to meet the country upon
which she had declared war, took
uu n westward line of march, with
France and her capitol, Faris, as
thtnr goal of attainment. Belgium
imposed a block to the march on
Paris and her country was laid
waste and devastated as a conse
quence. But the Belgium troooa
held ut> the German advance long
enough for France to mobilise her
armies. This is a synousis of Ger
many's activitits at the beginning
of the war. Does these facta indi
cate that Germany was forced into
the war? Does it indicate that the
German empire waa in danger of
invasion by the French? On the
contrary, does it not indicate that
Germany was the aggressor all along
the line?
Auatria-Hungria and Serbia were
in a fair way to settle their diffi
culties and would have done so if
Germany had not imposed a veto
thereto. Again, history doos not
show that Germany waa forced into
war, but that the contrary ia true.
