THE GERMAN MIND
(By Harvey O'Higginsi
It is not a bottomless mystery, this
outrageous record of the Germans al
war. It is a clearly consistent ex
pression of the servile mind. To un
derstand it you have only Ct under
stand the peaceful virtues ofThe poo
pie whom Bismarck called *‘a natior
of house servants."
They have long been governed bi
the most arrogant of all the governing
classes of Europe—the Prussian mili
tarists. They have submitted with a
touching faith in their oppressive tiro
tectors. Timid, sentimental, poetic
and comfort-loving, plundered for cen
turies by their marauding neighbors
they have been glad to league together
in the German empire with no matter
what loss of personal liberty, undet
the domination of their tyrannous wm
lords. They have seen in that tyr
anny their only safety. It defended
them superbly in the procured wars oi
the last century, first from their ok
I rivals the Austrians, and then from
| their old conquerors, the French. They
! believe that it has defended them as
eficientlv in the present war. By in
spired news and forged dispatches
they have been convinced that they
were invaded before this w-ar was de
clhred; and they still believe it. They
believe that they are fighting in self
defense under the leadership of an
autocracy that is their only self-pro
tection.
And they are fighting as the timid
fight. The man w-ho has been gov
erned by arrogance and has bowed
down to fear is a man who under
I stands no instrument but cruelty to
compel respect. He will invariably
' resort to frightfulness as hist \^apon
I in war. He will know no compassion
j He will have no dignity—not even the
1 dignity of pity. He will be at once
incredibly cruel and incredibly petty
He will persecute non-combatants
outrage women, mutilate children
bombard hospitals, kill the v nur.ded
torment prisoners, cut down fruit, tree?
and defile with animal filth what he
has not time to destroy like a dis
charged servant taking his revenge
on the kitchen, it is inevitable. It i«
| in the nature of the servile mind to dc
these things, and to fail ’ to see why
they should not be done.
His officers will order them done
because it has been by brutality that
his officers have ruled him, and they
will hope by brutality to rule t'n<
world. And he will do what he if
ordered because he knows the effi
cacy of fear in his own case, and lie
will hope by frightfulness to strike
fear into his enemy.
His instinct of subserviency, in fact
makes him a perfect military instru
ment. He obeys orders like a devotee
hound. He has the courage of un
questioning obedience. He must be
sent to the attack in mass formation
but be will go blindly, linking arms
with his fellows, singing solemnly, ii
a state of exalted meekness When he
is behind the lines, in safety, he wil
encourage himself with hymns of hate
"Hatred,” said the philosopher, “if
the revenge of the w-eak.” Caught It
his dugout, he will cry "Kamerad!
Kamerad!” to his captors, and w-her
he is taken prisoner he will be gentle,
biddable, hard-working and happy.
For the same reasons he makes a
perfect spy. He will be humble, in
gratiating, as treacherous as an in
timidated child, and servilely free of
any sense of the obligations of hospi
tality. His ambassador in a neutral
country will be a faithful servant, dis
guised as a gentleman, gathering serv
ants' gossip in a plot to betray his
, host. His very arrogance is the arro
gance of the servant who is proud of
his master. He will tell you, “We
Germans fear only God,” because his
very religion is a religion of fear. If
he were really as devilish as he pre
tends he would say, “We Germans
love only God.” "Ein’ teste Burg ist
unser Gott.” All of Germany’s plun
dered past is in that line. Who but
an intimidated people, longing for a
Chinese wall, would sing “Our God is
a strong fortress”? It is this lack of
real courage that makes him continu
ally boast of his lack of fear. He bul
1 lies, because he has always been bul
lied. He does not understand why
i the world will not cringe, and he fails
to understand it because he is himself
j always inwardly cringing to the auto- [
jcrats whom he trusts to defend him ,
, from the world.
It is the problem of this war, first
| to break the military autocracy of Ger
| many, and then to set free the minds
|of the people. Any attempt to punish
! them for their cruelties will drive
them, hereafter, with a new timidity
j into the arms of some new despotism.
(They must be persuaded of their
; safety in the world. They must be per
I suaded to dare the responsibilities of
I freedom. These people, who have
, never had a revolution in the whole
coures of their history, must be first
liberated and forgiven, and theit’pro
tected in their freedom and encour
aged to feel self-respect.
It is a pathetic sort of problem. It
is a problem that can not be solved
In terms of hatred and revenge. It is
peculiarly the problem of the Ameri
can people, who have nothing to gain
from the defeat of Germany but the
safety of democracy in world politics,
and who can not establish that safety
till Germany is itself a true democracy,
unservile and reassured.
