Forward with God to New Deeds and New Victories
Description
"In March 1916 there was a split in the German Socialist Party, and regroupings took place until eventually there were a Minority Socialist Party, led by Haase, Bernstein, and Kantshy, and a Majority Socialist Party, led by Ebert and Scheideman, who seized the machinery of the old Socialist Party. Scheideman enjoyed the veiled support of the Government, and continued its support of the war. Bernstein described this party's policy as sham Socialism, which was the Government's train-bearer. During April 1917 strikes broke out in Berlin among the munition workers; these were used as a good excuse for an approach by Schieideman, the "German Brother," to Kerensky in Petrograd. This began the Stockholm Conference, at which the Russians were soon disillusioned, for the German delegate stated 'there would certainly be no revolution in Germany during the war.' And in this cartoon we see the German workman doing no more than shaking his fist at the Kaiser, as he proceeds arm in arm with his submarine and bombing friend."
