fnp HE PniKBiau Paranoia" is tho tiki of an artile in a
recent istiuo of the Maturday Evening Post by Irvin
Cohh whiili nets forth in detail the observations and ex
periences of the author behind the German battle line as
a correspondent in the first year ol the war, and gives a
graphic, glimpse of the (Jernian viewpoint.
"Germany," states Air. Cobb, "is firmly committed to
the belief that the acts of its kaiser, its crown prince, its
government, its statesmen, its generals and its armies are
done in accordance with the will and tho purposes of Clod"
and by the same token, the actions and deeds ot all na
tions and peoples opposed to Germany must perforce bo
obnoxious to God, and hence inspired by the devil. In
other words, God is a German diety not the common
creator of mankind, but a special creator of Teutons the
chosen people. Germans appropriate God as their own
peculiar possession, and that I lis kingdom on earth is Ger
many only and "His chosen people now and forever more
wonid be Germans and Germans only."
This doctrine is the backbone of " Kultur" and in proof,
Mr. Cobb submits a mass of quotations from German au
thors, statesmen, and preachers. He relates his exper
ience with a "spectaclcd-author-scientist-spy," who tells
how Hie false teachings start at the cradle, as follows:
For forly-odd years we have boon educating our people to believe that
only th roiiKli war nail throiiKli conquest could our nation achieve Its place
In the sun clhowroom for Its Industrial anil its spiritual development.
Germany is a Kiiint tho Riant of the universe and she must have breathing
space; and only by the swallowing up ot smaller states can she got that
breathing space. We siart at the cradle and at the kindergarten to teach
our young people what it means to live with Russia on one side of thorn
and with Krance and r.olgium and Britain on tho other. They cannot forgot
for one Instant llie tnsk that lies hefore them. Thoir educators parents,
teachers, pastors, nillllary Instructors, officials of every rank and every
grade. pever let them forset iL." i
The distrust and suspicion with which Europe views
Germany was declared not Germany's fault, but, "the fear
and distrust born of envy and malice among deteriorated
and decaying nations" for a land which was the mother
of all virtues and all benevolent impulses. This exponent
of "Kultur" is quoted further:
I "Clorniiiny has earned tho right to rule this hemisphere; and Germany
Is going to rule It! When we have conquered our enemies, as conquer
them we shall when. wo have implanted among them our own German cul
ture, our own German institutions and our own German form of govern
ment, which surely we also Bb.all do -they will, in succeeding generations,
bo the bettor and happier for it. They will come to know, then that
the guns of our fleets and the rifles of our soldiers brought them blessings
in disguise. Out of the present sufferings and thoir future humiliations
will spring up the 'benefits of Gorman civilization.
"At first they may not want to accept It. They will have to accept it
at the point of the bayonet If necessary. If It is required that those petty
lessor statos should be exterminated altogether, we shall not hesitate be
fore that tusk either. Tboy are decadents, dying of dry rot and degen
orncy; better that they should ibe dead altogether than that tho spread of
German kultur through the Old World should be checked or diverted from
Us coin-so. Geography and destiny both point tho way for us, and
wo Germans ncvor turn from tho duties intrusted to us by our God and our
Kaiser!"
At the time, Mr. Cobb states, he diagnosed this
bigotry as evidence of egomania, possibly confined to a
few hundreds or a few thousands among the Germans
but in (he light of what has since happened, we all know
that the disease affected a whole nation and that even the
certainty that the program cannot be carried out until
the world is a vast graveyard, has not served to operate
as a cure.
The dream of German militarism is to Prussianize the
world America included, and any and all moans are sanc-
lil'ied to this end. For forty years Gorman militarism
lias schemed and planned wilh this result in view and
German life beginning at the cradle, has been maniacally
distorted.
The only cure for Kultur is to crush it, by superior
force. Civilization cannot endure half Prussian, half free.
Hence we find most of the nations of the world leagued
together to smash Kultur for only thus can there be any
peace in the world for any nation. The fate of the United
Wtates would be (he fate of lielgiiiin and Prance, of .Serbia
and Rumania if l'russianism triumphs. America will be
invaded and broken as ruthlessly as J.elgiuin, and as little
mercy shown, if Germany emerges victorious.
Among quotations from German leadei-s of thought
cited by the author is the following from Fran. Pliilippi,
the poet :
"Koriuorly Gorman thought was shut up In her corner; hut now the
world shall have Its rout out according to German measiiro and, as far as
our swordH flash mid German blood flows, the clrelo ot t lie earth shall
eomo under tho tutelage of German activity."
llerr t'J. Saze, a prose writer, says:
"The Germans are first before tho Throno of God Thou couldst not
phieo the golden crown of victory In purer sands.''
The KVv. II. Kranoko, well-known pastor of the city
of 1iegnitz, in a volume of sermons, says:
"Gdrmuny Is precisely Who would venture to deny It? tho represen
tative of the highest morality, ot the purest humanity, o( (ho most chas
tened Christianity." ,
The Rev. Walker Loliniar, of llaiuberge, llolstein, pub
lished a book of war sermons under the title "About tho
German God."
"This menus (hat we go forth to war ns Christians, precisely as Chris
tians, as we Germans understand t'lirlsliiiulty: il menus that we have (lod
on our sido. . . Can the ItiisKlans, the l-'rench, tho Serhiuns, the
Kngllsh. say this? No; not one of them. Only we Germans can say It.
If God Is for us who can lie against us? it is enough for us to he
n part of God. , A nation"- Germany "which is God's seed corn
for tho future. . . Germany Is tho center of God's plans for the
world. . . . That glorious feat of arms forty-four years ago". the
luilllo of Sedan "gives us courage to hellovo that the Gorman soul Is the
world's soul; that God ami Germany belong to one another."
"Oh, that the German God imiy permeate the world! Oh, Unit the eter
nal victory may blossom before the God of the German soul!"
ic. Doctor, of Heilin, savs in
llerr l'astur .loh. Rump,
a pamphlet :
"A corrupt world, fetterod In monstrous sin, shall, hy the will of God,
he liealett by the German nature. .. , Ye" tho Germans "are tho
chosen generation, the royal priesthood, the holy nation, the peculiar peo
ple." Many similar quotations couud be made, but those
are sufficient to show the viewpoint of Kultur and show
llie effect of the philosophy of Iteruhardi and Troitsohko
upon the nation which conceives itself sanctified to cure
the ailments of t he world. America included, by Prussian
izing it with the sword, poison gas. and the submarine.
