enormous development of American cities
is peculiar to the new
Rapid Growth world. Germany has
grown even more rapid
OF uermany. ly than the United
States when its area and resources are
taken into consideration, and II has shown
the same acceleration of urban population
which has taken place in all industrial
countries. In 1871, when the empire was
established. there were eight towns In
Germany having more than 100000 inhab-
itants In 1895 there were forty-one
towns credited with more than 100000,
and 1t is estimated that there are now
probably three or four others added to
this list. In 1871 Berlin had 10000 popu-
lation.
By 1880 Berlin reached the million mark,

year Chicago had population or 1S,Uo
and the area now included In the CITY OF
New York had 1.91l.OoO inhabitants. Inc
growth OF New York and Chicago has
been most wonderful, but not more SO
than that of Berlin. The German capital
has kept well in the lead of Chicago ana
is next to New York in the race for the
honor of being the largest city In the

100000 people Berlin grows like new

source of perpetual surprise and aston

The kaiser is building a great military
boulevard from Berlin 10 the military

BERLIN, August 13-Splendid Berlin,
youthful. strong. beautiful and pusng
with life, is microcosm OF modern Ger
many-that new united and imperial Ger
many which Bismarck built upon the
foundations of the newly discovered
power of organization. In Berlin the sur
viving east Prussian junker. with his
manorialxretinue of semi-servile peasants,
IS an anachronism. In Berlin the south
German poet philosopher Is overwhelmed.
In Berlin the Thuringian peasant In his
native costume is almost as unfamiliar
as an Iroquoi5 Indian in war paint on the
streets of Manhattan. In other German
cities there linger reminiscently on the
stage actors who played their part before
the final curtain was rung down on the
play of the holy Roman empire. In other
parts of Germany there remain old
churches, old castles. old costumes. old
customs which link the present with the
far gone past of the pre-Frederician age.
But in Berlin everything is new. every
thing is modern. every thought is for the
future and every back Is turned upon the
past. Beyond Berlin in the dying bits OF
old Germany men hate the newnesS of
their imperial capital, but Berlin does not
care. 1t knows that IL has been created
Dy the modern imperial Germany, II
knows that it typifies the spirit of the
reborn fatherland. and it is happy in its
own approval
For Berlin is young. There has been a
Hohenzollern capital here on the banks OF
the Spree for some centuries, but the
Berlin of today is as new as IL it had
been established upon western prairie
In appearance, in spirit, and In all es-
sentials, Berlin is more modern than New
York. younger than Chicago and as new
as Oklahoma City. 1t has been called the
most American city in Europe, but Is
really is the most European of European
cities, since II expresses only the Europe
that now exists. Berlin sthe apotheosis
of modern Germany. There are a great
many relics of the day of Frederick the
Great, and not a few buildings whfcSl
would be considered ancient in America,
but they are swallowed up in the vastness
Of the new Berlin, and one does not see
them.

Apartment Houses
Are Models.

W1tHStdHOlTB. SeS-
eral quarters Of the city are devoted al
most entirely to apartment houses, and II
must be said that they are model institu-
tions OF their kind. In the best quarter Of
the city one can get a five-room apart
ment finished in hardwood. with parquet
service, hot and cold water, telephone
service, light and heat and janitor service
included, for $50 month. And. In con-
every room Of the apartment must be an
outside room. the ceilings must be high,
and there must be perfect ventilation and
plumbing Exteriorly these apartment
houses are the equals OF the best class OF
American buildings. and on account of the
fact that they are arranged on streets in
which they must conform to certain
skyline, their general appearance is very
much better.
But Berlin's most impressive and COM
polling feature is it's uniforms. The po-
lice are gorgeously clad. and their name
is legion A busy street corner will have
twelve policemen constantly at work reg
ulating the traffic, and IL must be said
that they do their work well. Not even
London or New York has finer lot OF
men on the police force. There is usually
a regiment marching through the street,
but falling that, there Is always steady
stream of promenading officers whose bur-
nished helmets force one 10 remember
that this is the imperial capital Of an inn
perial nation which aims at the recon
struction OF the imperial estate Of i'm
perial Rome.

the absolute right to determine the height
OF every building erected. Exercising this
right, the kaiser has forced every builder
in every street to conform to the uniform
regulations. and this has given Berlin a
perfect skyline.
