Whate will happen in the event Of
the death of Emperor William, who,
though always looked upon as the
Great War Lord. has always been
for peace, and though in command
OF the most mighty engine of war
that the world has ever known. has
never used it; or in the event of
war, would be interesting to follow.
Should war be declared, say with
France, would the SocialistsHwho
are an international brotherhood
take up arms or allow them to be
taken up against their brothers in
France? May we not rather expect
that they will take lesson from the
French with their doctrine of
Hervism" and make war them
selves on the war party or capital
ism? This is for the future to an
swer, but as we travel the streets of
Berlin, yes. even to the twenty
miles or SO out to Potsdam, we pass
through street upon street of bar
racks filled to their limit with SOL
diers, and then, through street upon
street of homes; but homes-homes
OF the common citizen. What the
result will be only the future can
tell, but on one side we hear the
clatter Of arms. the bugle's note, on
the other the children's evening
prayer and the voice of the mothers
singing the babe to sleep.
And to the old warrier race, we
believe that the second picture looks
sweet and calm and satisfying, and
that their ear is more tuned to the
teaching of Carl Marx and Bebel.
than to the teachings of Bismark
and Moltke.

Cbe Voics$ Of tbe City
By A. M.

Berlin: the German Capitol. We
have one city with two voices, a
city divided, and it is hard to tell
which voice predominates; that
which give expression to the opin-
ions. of the conservative, clerical,
ct. al, and is the old dominant voice
of militarism, or that new strong
voice of the common people, calling
out in their new found strength for
justice and right.
; Berlin gives us general opinion
of being a city Of homes, of bar
racks. a good city to live in, we'll
ordered, we'll regulated, beautiful
town. Aswe walk down the Inter
den Linden, which I suppose is the
most beautiful street in the world
we note the air of prosperity, the
general cleanliness, the fine carriage
of the men, and in general, the
beauty of the women and children,
but we are also surprised at the
number of uniforms. AS we travel
through that city and the country
surrounding it, we have the feeling
of being in huge camp, and when
We listen to the opinions of a great
part of the people. we realize that
it is a camp placed over a store of
dynamite that may be touched off
at any minute. There is an air of
unrest, an air of waiting. an expec-
tation of some great crisis that is
about to come.
Germany owes much to her mill
tary system; great deal more than
the position of influence that it has
placed her in with the other nations
of the world, more great deal than
the territory that it has enabled her
to acquire. The greatest asset that
the enforced military system is, is
shown iD the bearing and health of
the citizens. In walking the streets
you will be interested to notice the
fine outstanding bearing of the men,
and the early habits of discipline
md personal cleanliness remain
with them for life. They are an
orderly. law-abiding people. and
even in the great movement that is
now under way, to bring about the
rule of the people. by the people.
for the people," they are taking the
legal way. they are talking through
the ballot.
1t is curious to notice that in-this,
one of the last remaining homes of
conservative militarism, the social
democrats" are the strongest social
body in the Reichstag. They are
only held IN check for the time be-
ing by a combination between The
military" party and the clerical.

New Prison Power Plant
III. McC,

fOllOWlng request by our local
correspondent for a description of
the power plant of the new prison.
I'll endeavor to give same to the
best of my ability, for the benefit of
those who have not had the good
fortune to see it.
You who are acquainted some
what with engine rooms, boiler
rooms and power plants in general
would. upon visiting the new prison
power plant, be surprised to see
how modern and systematic every
thing is. All machinery and appur-
tenances are laid out with an idea of
easy accessibility. The engine room
is large and airy, floors of tile, and
for the handling of heavy machin-
cry and making repairs. large
travelling crane is used. The power
plant consists of 3 units; 2 of 700
II. 2. each, and one of 500 H. p.
The former being cross compounds
and the latter a Tand EN- compound,
making six engines in units. These
engines are directly connected to
large alternate current dynamcs of
400 killowatt, and a 26O XIV. re.
spectfully; 2 of the former and | of
the latter. The two large ones are
used to furnish power for the fac
tory while the smaller one is used
to furnish light for the institution.
The switchboard is on gallery ard
covers 15 marble pannels; all
switches, cut-outs, meters and regu-
lators are arranged by easy access
ibility. All wiring is housed be-
hind the pannels which does away
with danger and unsightliness.
Immediately under the switch
board gallery are the steam cages,
recording cages and the vacuum
cages. All engine appliances are
nickel-plated and kept shining, and
central oiling station handles all
oil, returning same to filter. The
steam end of this plant is handled
by battery Of 4 stirling" water
tube boilers, each rated at 400 II. p.
but capable of delivering a SO per
cent. overload. which makes it more
than sufficient for the present use,
and only two of them are used at
present. Attached to these boilers
are all the latest improvements, in
cluding stokers, economizer and also
powerful fan which furnishes a,
forced draft sufficient to burn the
finest and dirtiest of coal. The fire
can be regulated from l to II inches.
