"But at last the beggarly Dutchman came, With his lager and sauerkraut; And wherever that beggarly Dutchman went He made a terrible rout. "Wo ist der Deutscher's Vaterland? Is it near the ocean wild? Is it where the feathery palm-trees grow? Not there, not there, my child.
Stephen was greatly drawn toward this young German with the great scar on his pleasant face. And he was itching to know about that scar. Every day, after coming in from dinner, Richter lighted a great brown meerschaum, and read the St. Louis 'Anzeiger' and the 'Westliche Post'. Often he sang quietly to himself: "Deutschlands Sohne Laut ertone Euer Vaterlandgesang. Vaterland!
And all Germany is something more than the German Empire, which in certain respects is only a book-keeper, an adjuster of differences. "Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland? Ist's Preussenland? Ist's Schwabenland? Ist's wo am Rhein die Rebe blüht? Ist's wo am Belt die Möve zieht? O nein! O nein! O nein! Sein Vaterland muss grösser sein. "Des ganze Deutschland soil es sein!

Every corps student is a patriot, ready to sing or fight for Kaiser and Vaterland, and socialism, even criticism of his country or its rulers, are as out of place among them as in the army or navy.
Hitherto emigration had seemed to be a sufficient outlet and a sufficient source of strength. But as Germany was becoming more and more the controlling power of the Continent, she refused to be contented with sending out millions of her sons, who, as mere emigrants to foreign countries, were lost to the Vaterland.
