rugged, his manner bluff. He was q
man OF blood and Iron, while Gladstone
was man Of quite different manners
ana temperament yet one who inspired
much the same sort Of admiration
which Bismarck inspired. The great
German was many sided man. liz

In diplomacy he was artful and auda

to the monarch he was full Of deter

devotion which II was beautiful to wit

like the Grand Old Man often bore ties

to his stormy political career. He wal
devoted to his wife and children ant

marck must of course be judged ant
the value Of his achievements measured
by standards different from those of re
publican countries where conditions ap
preaching democracy prevail. A maj
of his strong, determined, autOcrati'
and even imperious disposition wa
needed to solve the problem Of German
unification. 1t Is perhaps too soon Il
