forward the subjcction of the north by

The high nobility of the German En-

Kaisers consent. II is not generally
known that some of the serene highnesses
concerned paid high price for the need
ed experience less than a decade ago.
This new departure of caste that mas
hitherto looked down on trade fills the
.Frankfurter Zeitung'' with dark fore
bodings and inspires it to prophecy, yet
it is in reality nothing more than the
latest proof of the adaptability of that
caste which has enabled 1t to survive
wars. upheavals and revolutions. and to
maintain itself at the top through the
centuries.
The development of this latest move to
safeguard position, power and influence
has followed a curious course 1t began,
indeed. with a quite opposite policy
that of incorporating the plutocracy WITH
the nobility, as seen in England On the
Continent. which takes its nobilitles more
seriously. alliances of birth with money
were preferred, especially with American
money. because in country without an
official caste system its pOssessors were
