TeutOnic COnfederaCy
Gern1any'S Aspiration
Demands Absorption Of All
GermaniC Peoples and the Civilization
of Remote Parts of the World.

LONDON. June 45.-An exhaustive
study Of Pan-Germanism has just be1
by an Englishman, and pub
Iished anonymously, in book entitled,
1.-The Pan-Germanic Doctrine"
HIS general conclusion is that Pan
Germanism is an exceedingly vital prin-
ciple. and presents one of the great
forces Of the twentieth century.
Pan-Germanic Propaganda.
As a political program. he says, it
reached its greatest popularity in 1900.
Then Anglophobia ragged on account of
the Boer war. Since that time Of the
revival OF English prestige, Industrial
distress in Germany. and reassertion
OF the Monroe Doctrine, by the United
States. have had a calming effect.
Nevertheless. the Pan-Germanic propa-
ganda continues with undiminished Wig
or. 1t demands the inclusion Of Aus
tria. Holland German Switzerland,
Flemish Belgium Denmark and Scandi-
navia. in Germanic confederation, and,

I'm addition. that the fatherland shall
build up and maintain colonies in remote
parts of tho world.
Austria May Turn to North.
So far as Austria is concerned the
death of Franz Josef may. at any time,
lead the German-Austrians 10 loon
northward for support and help, against
the Slavonic peoples who have numeri-
cal preponderence in the Austro-H un-
garian empire. Even more likely of alb
sorption arc Holland and Denmark,
small and weak neighbors, especially
Holland. who sits across the mouth of
the German Rhine, and has colonies in
the East Indies. which would fulfill the
Kaiser's wish for a colonial empire.
But the part Of the book which covers
newer ground is the sensational reve-
lation Of PaD-German ambitions in
South America. The writer says II is
admitted that in North American Ger
mans quickly become Americanized. IN
South America the German settlers
maintain their language and national
Chara ctp-iStics.

STAINED GLASS INDUSTRY
OF iREL.SD BIG THING

LONDON. June 25.-The Emerald Isle
has long been noted for the beauty OF
its arts and crafts but the stained glass
industry established little over year
ago. has surpassed al expectations. aud
proved revelation Of the possibilities Of
really artistic work Of the kind being
successfully accomplished by women
students IN Ireland.
Miss Purser, the insugura tor Of the
industry. who is q member Of the Royal
Hibcrnian Academy. has made the un-
dertakiEg a thoroughly practical one.
The students are instructed by the best
teacher who could be procured IN Lon
dou. and the system is similar TO that
practiccd in medieval days. II Is con-
sidered that only those who know the
exigencies Of "a craft are CAPABLE OF de
signing httingly for fl, therefore the
artists at this Dublin school. which is
known as the Tower Of Glass" are not
only skilled designers. but are thor
oughly trained I'm the technical part OF
their craft as wei. and excellence OF
material and a high standard Of pro-
duction are also insisted upon.
In this type Of stained glass window
(which has many Of the fine old stained
glass Of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries) the work is essentially what
such should be, great. richly-colOred
mosaics. showing the hand OF a crafts
woman who has thought out her subject
thoroughly on the glass itself.
Among the many interesting speci-
mems made here, some Of which are now
on show at the St Louis Exhibition. are

The Country Changed.

In less than a general ion the whole
aspect Of the country and the charac-
ter Of the towns and villages that cot
its surface have changed The roof
of the old sawmiu has fallen in The
single mill closed Town years ago; so
did the tannery and the bolt factory.
The wagon shop no longer makes wag-
ons. but repairs a broken shaft or does
any odd job OF mendlng. Even pIows
and harrows are no longer made n the
village, but are sold by the local agent
of city mandatory.
In short the local Industries that de-
pended on wood as their raw material
have not survived the Local forests On
which they fed.
Coal from Pennsylvania is now brOu-lt
ty rail TO country villages in Ontario
that ten or fifteen years ago used to ship
trainloads OF hardwood fuel to Toronto
and other large markets That many
OF these towns no longer have wood FOR
their own fires shows how complete is
the change worked I'm a very few years.
Nor does the character Of the average
Ontario village fail to show an equal
change The houses formerly occupied
by the sawmill man. the planning mill
man, and others who turned the raw
materials of the woods into manufac-
lures, are now occupied by retired farm
ers-meE who have sold or leased their
farms and live carefully on the proceeds
Of laborious lives spent in clearing
brushlands
