Tribute to Germany

You ask me what will be the results or the European war. My answer is I don't know
 My brother-in-law is a German profess sor and two of my nieces are married to noblemen, officers, one in the Prus- sian and the other in the Bavarlan army. For half a century I have been an ar- dent admirer of the German nation for it's solid qualities. The world is indebted to it for its contributions to science and literature. Its contributions to chemis- try, especially as applied to industrial products and medicine, have been of the utmost value to mankind. Hence, I re- gret profoundly from the German stand : point, and that of my native country Eng land that such a terrible war should have occurred, and my remarks cannot be tinged with any bitterness, from my present standpoint as a naturalized Amer | ican, towards my relatives in either country.
 It is premature to speak of possible peace overtures whilst Germany is flushed with victory and occupies large part of French territory, even though its ally Austria, has been disa strously repulsed by the Servians, and trampled upon by the Russians. Within the near future, l it will be necessary for the Germans to face seriously the Austrian invasion, which will occur after the Austrans are 1 still further disintegrated and rendered helpless. When that time comes and the | German and Austrian fighting line is
 weakened by the transfer of troops to
 meet the Russian advance I believe that a growing Anglo-French army will carry | the offensive over the line into Ger
 many By that time, or before it. be- ! lieve Italy will be forced by public sen
 timent to invade Austria, thus imposing
 aGditlonal strain on Austria s resources
 and leaving Germany to contend single handed against the eastern and western | invasion of her territory.
 Turkey as Germany's Ally i I expect to see Turkey enter the war | as an ally of Germany, and that it will

Division of Territory

Any opinion upon the pending world famous and record breaking conflict be- tween the nations must be merely guess work, but it appears to me that there can be no permanent peace until Ger many is subjugated, and that Is a big job, even for the concentrated forces of the allies.
 The German people are a wonderful people, in education as well as in military training. They have an abiding faith and loyalty in their Emperor, and will fight to the bitter end, if need be. It seems to me that there is a possibility, how ever. that Germany may seek to retain it's autonomy as a nation when the final day comes for it's defeat, as it surely will come, by some diplomatic stroke and compromise. think that this crucial point will be reached within the next two or three months.
 As to the division of the territory France. of course, will get back as it's own all the territory it lost in the Franco Prussian war and Seryia and Austria

the resources of the world that it will take years and years to recover. But, II this war, with it's awful responsiveness. will compel even crowned heads to heed the verdict of the economist and listen to the advice of the banker, it will not have been in vain.
 The mills of God are grinding slowly but surely Perhaps when this war storm will have passed, we will discover that crowns will have been crushed, swords will have been broken; racial hatred will have exhausted itself and on the ruins of kingdoms, the democracy of Europe will be established, with reason regnant and peace secured by the establishment of international courts of justice and arbitra- ton.
 Perhaps we are nearer than we think, to the times predicted 26o0 years ago by a God-intoxicated prophet of Jerusalem, as found in Isaiah, chapter 2.

Responding to your request to outline my views as to what will be the out come of the present struggle in Europe, I wish to submit the following:
 In what I shall have to say you will not find a visionary outline of recon structed map of Europe nor a vain at tempt. I am not prophesying. but I shall try to deduce something from the effects of the war. which will come as the logical aftermath when the fighting is over
