German Birth Ideals and Prussianism Critique in War Era
An address by Mr. Kahn condemns Prussianism as a poison corrupting German culture and homeland, urging American readers of German descent to reject the Prussian system and support Allied aims for peace and liberty. The piece contrasts old Germany with the "new course" under tyranny, cites wartime plots, and calls for circulation of his pamphlet The Poison Growth of Prussianism and the Chicago address Frenzied Liberty. It also includes snippets about U.S. rail and military issues and notes on the Model 1917 rifle improvements.
