THE KAISER'S SERMON. -'.,' i'Jitlior German principles of right, freedom, honor and morality must be upheld, or Anglo-Saxon principles, with tlieir idolatry of ifammon, must be victorious, vic-torious, " says tho llohenzollern kaiser. The world has had an opportunity Wining the last four years to learn the ! principles; of right, freedom, honor and morality preached by tho kaiser and practiced by the Germans. Tho German idea is that might makes right, that anything is right which is necessary to extend German sway over tho other peoples of the earth and win special pnvilegcs for the Germans. It has nothing in common with the morality mor-ality of the Christian God to whom the ;kaisor so often, and always sacrilegious-! sacrilegious-! ly, appeals. ff it will help Germany to obtain her i place in tho sun it is right to kill non- j 1 combatants, to commit rape and rob- j bery, to blow up tho ships and factories S ' of neutrals, to slaughter the wounded in fact, to brce.1t any and all of the ten i ! commandments. And, strange to say, j .the men of all religions in Germany i seem to agree that it is right to abro- i ' gate the ten commandments if it will j obtain victory for Germany. Among 1 themsehes they still adhere to the l- theory of Christian morality, and per- i j haps they practice that morality one to il ! ward the other, but for all outside m the fold of tho fatherland there is to ; be neither mercy jior justice until they submit to the German despotism. When j : Cardinal Mercier called down the pun- '', , i ! ishment of heaven upon those who had (i ' ; 'massacred his priests and people, who I had stolen the treasures of his land and jj ; burned and raped, some of his co-relig-- ionists in Germany coolly suggested ! ' that he was un-Christian because he did , not forgive these- acts. Thus is the i Christian religion perverted, by the ad- : herents of all sects in Germany to up- I hold every injustice inflicted -on non- ' Germans. And that is German right and morality, i ! . And we are quite as familiar with Germau honor. It was that honor which j violated Germany's pledged word to preserve the neutrality of Belgium. I ;lt was that honor which broke its word : to the United States. It was that honor ; which, through an ambassador, pro posed that the ships of a friendly na-1 na-1 tion should be sunk without leaving a ; trace. It was that honor which has permitted Germans to break every rule of international law, to seize or sink ships which they had specifically promised prom-ised to protect, to bomb hospitals and kill nurses, to poison wells in West Africa and to fill the world with spies, many of them prostitutes and criminals crimi-nals and degenerates of various descriptions. descrip-tions. The men 'and women that Germany Ger-many punished at home she sent out into the world, even before the war, to wage secret warfare against friendly , nations. That is German honor. And German freedom what is that? , There is no such thing as German free dom except for the few, for the kaiser and his six sons and the ruling classes. It is a freedom which keeps the emperor em-peror and his six sons away from all harm while sentencing the common people peo-ple of Germany to death. The Anglo-Saxon, said the emperor, aimed at making the peoples of the world work as slaves for the Anglo-Saxon Anglo-Saxon ruling race. We will not attempt at-tempt to speak for the British, but certainly cer-tainly the people of Canada and Australia Aus-tralia would not. echo the sentiments of the kaiser. But a plainer argument to set down his imperial majesty is before the whole world. The Teutonic race already has its slaves by the millions in Germany and Austria-Hungary, in Belgium and Serbia and even in countries coun-tries such as Russia and Kumania, with which Germany is nominally at peace. The kaiser admits that Germany jseeks to rule the world, but sugar-coats the admission with the suggestion that when Germany rules there .will be freedom, justice, houor - and right for all. If any othc- race ; seeks to rule, it3 purpose is to make slaves of mankind.
