WHY WORRY?

WH

THE HONGEONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7TH, 1918.

HY worry? The War's over!!! So it is." We have all heard that remark more than once, but there is much to "worry about yet. We're not out of the game simply because the Hans have laid down their guns. What you gave on Heather Day and at the Fair is surely not the limit of your sacrifice! There are thousands and thousands of brave men condemned to pass the rest of their lives in misery unless we rally to the "aid of the great work of healing. Thanks to the Army and Navy, we have. had, and will continue to have, a very comfortable time in Hongkong. It is our duty then to worry," in order that the maimed and sick, the human wreckage of the great war of Liberty, may be restored. Every one of us. bere owes a great debt to the men who fought and bled in the war-a debt which we can never repay. But we can show our appreciation by giving our last cent to the great work of mercy in which so many noble men and women are engaged at home. Money is urgently needed. Shall we. grudge it now that the war is won? Never let it be said that our patriotism and honour petered out with the echo of the last shot. Don't say that you put every cent you had into Heather Day and St. Andrew's Fair. The War Bond Drawing is for the same cause, and its success must be written down in the annals of the Colony's giving as another endeavour to show tangible appreciation of the brilliant achieve.. ments, on the battlefield and on the North Sea, of the bravest boys on earth. Make the result a Victory Offering worthy of the Colony.

MAX OF BADEN'S TRUE COLOURS

DECLINES TO ACCEPT ANY SUCH

THING AS WESTERN

DEMOCRACYT."

A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Berne says:--

A letter in which Prince Max of Baden reveals himself, in his true colours has come into my hands. After reading it no-one will any longer be in doubt either as to the character of the man who wrote it or as to the reason why the Kaiser chose him for the role be now has to play.

"

"On December 14th last, at the time when many speeches were being delivered to stimulate the flagging morale of the hungry Germans, Prince Max made a speech about the Sermon on the Mount in the Chamber of Deputies at Baden. He said:

Not hatred of our focs, but rather love of Germany should be the soldiers' true motive in fighting. The sword along cannot overcome the moral opposition of] our foes. If the world is to be reconciled to the greatness of Germany's power it must be taught to feel that behind our power stands not merely a national but a world conscience. True, the whole his- tory of spiritual Germany's feelings of responsibility to humanity shines like a beacon. This is the sign we must inscribe on our standards. In this sign we shall conquer."

About a month later. on January 12th, Prince, as wrote the following letter to his cousin, Prince Alexander of Habenlebe, to interpret the real meaning of his Sermon on the Mount speech:-

I am astonished at the various inter- pretations put on my speech in various quarters The Swiss newspapers tead into it a sort of opposition between the Hohenzolleras and the Zahringers (the Baden royal family), Bow nonsensical this is is shown by the fact that the Kaiser -this is catre nou-sent me a telegrain congratulating me and enlling my speech,

a high feat.

On the one hand the Pan-Germans fall upon me, utterly failing to perceive in their wrath that with my interpreta- tion of Christianity I am really endowing their German swords with a German spirit by means of which they can conquer the world to their hearts content. On the other hand, that hateful paper the Frankfurter Zeitung besmears me with its laudations, although I clearly enough held up to scorn in my speech the popular outery for democracy and all current party watch-words, especially

parlia mentarism."

The world is out of joint and people's minds are unbalanced. Everybody. is so hypnotised by the crazy ideas that I cannot get them to take in earnest my words of practical common-sense. about applied Christianity and the desenti- mentalising of the conscience of humanity as a whole.

to ridicule this affected judicial attitado of theirs in the matter of responsibility for the war, as well as their care about For many & day, too, I longed to confront them and their pagan tricks with the Sermon on the Mount, and together with this doctrine of love to set in clearer light the duty of the strong to guard the rights of mokiąć.

"Our enemies falsify the most sacred principles with their lies and libels, and we allow ourselves to be, influenced by their base machinations.

The beginning and end of my speech were, therefore, concerned in rebutting the lica and false suggestions of the enemy's moral offence. As my object was also to laugh to scorn the democratic war-cry of the Western Powers 1 had to come to a sort of com- promise with my audience about our own internal affairs. As I quite decline to accept any such thing as western demo cracy for Germany and Baden, I had por force to tell my bearers that 1 perfectly understood their needs, but at the same time I could not but warn them that I had arrived at a sort of political platform which gives me liberty to follow paths F have marked out for myself."

•

With regard to the peace question I take up the same standpoint in contrast to the rulers of the Western Powers My object was only to suggest the general moed in which such questions should be approached. The how is of the greatest value because the what is so difficult to deine; for 1, too, naturally wish for the greatest possible exploitation of our successes in contrast to the so-called peacar resolution of July, 1917, which was a dis- gusting child. born of fear and the Berlin dogdays.

I wish to have the greatest possible indemnities, no matter in what form, so that after the war we may not be too poor. My view in these matters is not quite yours, for I am not yet in favour of any thing more being said about Belgium than what already has been said. Our enemies know enough, and in dealing with such A cozning and astute opponent as Eng- Jarid Belgium is the only object of com pensation which we possosetter?

There you have, then my own inter- pretation of my speech, 100,000 copies of which have been distributed a leaflet for propaganda purposes. My aplech is to be read as a whole if it is Köt”lo bé misunderstood. I have a very poor opin ion of the moral disposition of the Eulers of our enemies as well as of the terrible 1ack of judgment among the people whom they rule. The baseness of their ideas in too shameful for words. We Germana, on the other hand, sin by our stupidity for both the Pen-Germans and Peace resolu tions are alike stupid things.
