The flow of the German dispensation of power or of governmental organization runs downward from the Kaiser.

No power goes up from the people or industry or finance to the war lord at the center.
The Germans know no other system of government.

Outside of Prussia, in the more than thirty states of Germany, there was the local reign.

Now over all is the reign of the Kaiser.

The present generation has seen a united Germany become great among the nations of the earth.
