jwM. C. DHEHER WRITES
OF GERMAN FEELING
! We nrint below an article written
?
| by ZVlr. William C. Dreher, a native
: of the Selwood section of the Dutcn
jFork. as published, in the Boston
. Transcript.
- j Mr. Dreher spent several years in
'! Gerrnanv as U. S. Cosul and as cork
i
'! respondent for the Associated Press.
Pie was at Berlin when the European
> war broke out and remained there as
j Associated Press correspondent until
war was declared upon Germany
> | by the United States/when he with
! many other Americans returned to
j h'S homeland. Mr. Dreher was a vis
| itor in Lexington last summer while
I visiting his brothers and other rela|
tives at Selwood.
! Boston Transcript.
The former valued correspondent
j
of The Transcript and former United
1 j States Consul William C. Dreher.
long stationed in a Ger nan manufacturing
town, later Associated j
T ress correspondent in Berlin, and I
I now on the editorial staff of the
Ww York. Tribune, does not hold;
' I
| out much hope to any expecting to:
separate the German people from \
-their idols, the kaiser, his'heir ap-:
parent, and the "kollossal" grab they
have projected and prepared for 40
: years of the best of their iieighbors'
lands, properties and ports. As for;
revolution, Mr. Dreher says, "it is,
verboten"?and that is enough fori
! the stupid and corrupted Germans j
' of the new empire proclaimed in Pari
' is in 1871, based upon rape of Alsace j
| Lorraine and the Prussian burglaries j
in Denmark and Austria preceding j
that crime against human nature.Soj
! sure of his docile subjects is the kais-j
er that he made no effort to limit I
the circulation of President Wilson's |
messages, on the contrary helped cir:
| culate them as propaganda, Mr. Dre- j
her says. It is a noteworthy fact.,
he adds, that the Vienna papers rejected
the president's February message,
more emphatically even than!
I . _
! the German press.
The new party in German politics;
: the "fatherland," is the typical pro!
geny of Prussianism?a combina-:
tion of Junker militarism and greatj
! coal, iron and finance magnates. It
has swept the country with its pro-:
I paganda. Newspapers have beeni
bought at fancy prices, says Mr.,
Dreher, advertising spaces rented at
unheard?of rates, pamphlets circu-^
lated on a lavish scale, and a prodi-1,
gipus campaign carried on for a "Hin
denburg peace," as the preliminary!
of the pending Hindenburg campaign!
in the heart of France. What Ger- j
many is now banking on, says Mr. j
Dreher, is that since the Russian
breakdown she has for the first time
a free hand on the west, and also a
numerical superiority there. As to;
America, the German calculations;
. . . i
is that with every stupioaa 01 our
soldiers landed the difficulties of
transportation will increase, like a
rolling snowball, and American
troops, with the submarine intensi-i
ty increasing, will nevef reach France
in sufficient numbers to affect the*
Hindenburg decision now planned!
and under execution. x Mr. Dreherj
was always one of those correspondents
who must tell what they see, and
like Luther, " can no other." . The
Germans, high and low, aristocrat
and proletariat, militarist and indus-j
trial and commercial, he states, are
united in the slogan: "Despoil the
enemy of his lands and goods." Such(
is the "Fatherland," 1918! j
