ten from stronghold of Protestantism like
Madgeburg which was besieged and ravaged
during the Thirty Years War and where Tet-
zePs Indulgence chest and Tilly's helmet are

of that terrible period of storm and stress: and
what other theme there be than the German
genius for organization, which has transformed
the activities of the medieval city? What re-

is highly organized and that is the secret of
the increasing wealth and refinement shown In
the splendid mansions of the residential section,
which contrast strongly with the cluttered files

secret of what is a mystery to the stranger In
every German town-the absence of beggars in
the streets.
