Of a land that has the finest public build
ings in the world.
1t lies on a height at the right shore Of
the Neisse river. from the shore Of which
broad flights Of stone, steps lead to It. The
entrance Is through great portal with
four stone columns. On the sides Of the
portal are two great groups OF figures.
Peace and War" The building is
crowned with golden dome, bearing on its
summit the imperial crown.
Beautiful relefs and bfonZes ornament
this face of the building. The Hall OF
Fame itself is sixty-three feet high inside
A beautiful marble stairway leads to the
niche in which stands a double statue
showing the first two emperors of united
Germany-W Wilhelm and Frederick III.
In the month In which this building was
dedicated q huge statue of Bismarck was
unveiled in Goslar. Mannheim unveiled a
fine statue of Moltke Munster dedicated
statue of the Prince Bishop Christoph Ber
nard Won GaIen, who conquered Munster in
the seventeenth century: Schleswig un
yelled statue of Gen. Karl Won Schmidt,
the reorganizer of German cavalry, and In
Lauenburg monument was unveiled to
Lutzow and jain, the heroes Of the war Of
liberation.
1t is not possible to open a German illus-
trated paper, daily, weekly or monthly,
without finding the picture of some pro-
jected or completed monument of this ma
ture. Nor is it possible to open any of these
papers without finding pictures of military
subjects. The soldier-officer or priva te-
Is the prominent figure.
A Land Of Fortresses.
Besides all this, the country still is full
Of fortresses. Some Of them date back to
past centuries. Others are SO modern as
the date when stone forts stiL were useful.
Big cities have been bound as with an
iron band by the Notifications that sur
round them, preventing any growth. 1t is
only recently that the government has be-
gun the work Of demolishing some of the
mighty walls and bastions and razing the
deep gates and trenches that hold many of
the famous German cities in a medieval
frame. -
Now Magdeburg, Metz, Strassburg and
other fortified cities are to get their chance
to expand and spread out into the rich
plains around them.
Among the walls that are to go are soma
historical ones whose history thrills Ger
man hearts deeply, as may be learned from
the inscription on the stones. Such as these
are the walls Of Mainz or Mavence, the old
city Of the archbishops Of Mavenec. In
the gate Of the citadel are corner stones
from the ancient Roman walls. The date

guide paused to reflect.


The guide paused to reflect.
Maybe the missionaries didn't mean u
to have that effect. but the tree that they
had here Christmas has stirred UP lot OF
trouble for me. That tree was indirectly
responsible for the squabble I've just set
tied. Near as I could make out, It began
over an attempt OF one OF the daughters OF
one family to steal a doll from the daugh-
ter OF the other woman. Every girl here
got a doll from the tree but many OF them
have since tried to become mothers OF
larger families, with the results that their
days and their mothers days and my days
especially. have been full of trouble.
But that tree has shown me one thing
how quickly and easily the children OF all
nations--even the roaming Arabians-take
up with American ways Until Christmas
day the boys had never played with mar

ceived their bags of marbles. along with
other gifts OF apples. oranges and candies.
they were playing with them just like ma
tive born would. And the girls-wel. the
dear little things seemed to understand
what the dolls were for the minute they
saw them on the tree, and when they were
handed around the first thing they did was
to clasp the china babies to their breasts
and Groom childish lullabies to them in fifty
different tongues. They also stood the
dolls on their heads and critically exam
ined the clothes, just as my little daughter
does. And whenever one of the girls has
happened to break her doll, 1t has almost
broken her heart. just as with my little
girl. Why, that mite from Poland cried all
day yesterday and wouldn't be comforted
until sleep overlook her because her doll,
In falling, lost the bigger part of its face.
Poor little girl, It was great loss to her,
because 1t was her first doll. Since then
she and her older sister have been sharing
the latter's doll between them and lavish
ing all the love on it that any two little
American girls possibly could.

Is not content with mere practice. He feels
impelled to harden his men to the conditions

Therefore we hear Of killings when an
artillery battery dashes out to make time
