Der Wacht Am Rhine—Descrescendo
For much over a century the great national an
them of Germany has been sung by exultant voices.
They were voluminous, patriotic and militant, for in
all that time no enemy had crossed the Rhine. The
Fatherland had been safe for 140 years and the river
had been the bulwark of security and prosperity and
the power of their empire.
“The Rhine, the Rhine, the German Rhine,
Who Guards today my Rhine divine?’’
Who does guard the great stream, much like our
own Columbia? Only a broken soldiery and voices
saddened by the break through, and those that know
there is more to come. Had Germany, in ordinary
parlance, behaved herself the river of its song would
not have been crossed. The whole world knows that
the causes that have forced us to cross into the heart
of their empire are great and just. We would not
have over two million men over there, and be taking
the losses of our finest young men except that it had
to be so. The watch on the Rhine fades into a sad
dirge of a great people because of their own suicidal
mistakes. It will resemble the Tiber, where once
another great empire rose and fell, because of Ro
man greed and desire of greater empire. On the
Rhine was the great cultural city of Cologne, the
Harvard city of Bonn where Beethoven was born
and Goethe wrote his matchless poetry, and science
thrived. On the Tiber likewise, law, poetry like Vir
gil, and Horace’s odes, sculpture and architecture
rose to the highest degree. The Rhineland like the
Roman region, because of excesses of power, may be
set back many centuries in civilization.
The Red Cross, the American Red Cross, and now
we san say of our institution, the International Red
Cross, has only one purpose : the care of the wound-
ed and suffering brought on by a great war, and suf
fering brought on through national calamities and
emergencies. It is the Florence Nightingale of our
modern times and no better spirit of humanity can
be better supported than by liberal donations to the
institution. Let no man or woman refuse to do his
or her part.
First National
Spring has peeked around the corner and it is time
to plant, and clean up. This is a big order, but it
must be filled.
