It is not until after the child has been baptized that he comes strutting out proudly. Am I not right, Captain?" he asked, appealing to the cavalry officer. "You are an equestrian on foot now, too."The captain boomed his assent. In his summary view, members of the Reichstag who refused to vote enough money for the
