Germany's Three Calamities: Lost War, Coup d' Etat and Inflation Period By PROF. ADOLF HARNACK, in Vienna Neue Freie Presse. One who takes into consideration these three calamities the lost war, the coup d'etat and the inflation period, will not wonder that the soul and the body of the German people should be gripped by a dire disease, dis-ease, which finds expression in savage egoism, in a reprehensible passion for gain, and in infringements upon laws and morals. The" German nation, the most industrious in the world, has never ceased to work. It is working now also, and, what is more, it is working twice as hard as before. It would work even still harder if its physical health were better, and if it could find a richer and wider field for its toil. As to the work done by our mental workers the students I can testify out of my own experience that they are working with a greater diligence than ever. The same is evidenced by our physical workers. The love of work, which is the mother of all civic virtues, is helping help-ing our people to overcome the influence of evil forces. And already now one may say: Go and see the German people while at work, and you will be able to form an idea as to what it is and what it can accomplish 1
