TELLS OF GERMANY'S ENERGY RESULTING
 IN GREAT GROWTH
Remarkable Development Shown in Recent Years in Country
 Which Is Smaller in Area Than
 Texas; Has Large Population.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25 Some of the salient facts of Germanv's re. markable growth and development i'm recent years are contained in a statement given to the press today by Gilbert II Grosvenor Director and Editor of the National Geographic So- ciety of Washington. The statementl is as follows;
 Only Belgium. Holland. Japan and the United Kingdom have deuser pop ulations than Germany. That country manages to crowd a population of 67.- 000,00O people into a territory SO small that you could add New Eng land Go it and still have an area smaller than the state of Texas.
 Possessing only one-dfteenth Of tho area of Europe, Germany pro- duces one-seventh Of Europe's wheat. one-fifth of its oats one-fourth of its rye, am one-third of its potatoes.
 "rhe average farm in Germany is very small. Out of a total of 5.756. 900 farms nearly onehalf are smaller than 1-2 acres, and less than 100000 are larger than 20 acres. or our own 5,737000 farms more than three-ffths contain upward of fifty acres.
 The Germans use more commercial fertilizer than any other three na. tions on earth. and yet. with all the coaXing resulting from intensive fn f.r7- frer ~nI -r.,11 f,~.,,- rs-.,........ s. not able in ordinary times. to pro duce enough foodstuff to meet the demand of its people It imported farm produce to the value Of a quar- ter or a billion dollars more than 1t exported during a recent year, and groceries and confections to the amount of $l2O.OO0.OO0 above the ex. ports of those commodities. The bal ance of raw materials was S1OOOOO.- GOO against the Empire.
 Tn the past quarter of a century no other nation made such wonder. ful bid for foreign trade as Germany. While the trade of the United States increased PTS per cent in that time and Great Britain's in creased 100 per cent, Germany's increased 300 per cent The secret of this success lies in the efforts 10 meet every condition of every market into which German goods went Germany's merchant ma rine iH % years rose from a negligi- ble quantity to 4.S6e ships. with a net register of 3,153OO0 tons, and employ ing 78OOO sailors.
 Germany takes a different view of railroad rebates from that of the United States A small shipper is al- ways required to pay higher rates than a big shipper. and goods pass ing through Germany get lower rates than goods shipped from one Ger man point to another Railroad rates on export merchandise are much low CT than domestic rates When the Nu- remburg toy makers want to assist the Hamburg Kriss Kringle the freight rate is S9.33 per ton; when they want to assist the New York Santa Claus it is only s5.83 per ton.
 "The people of German cities live amid surroundings of the law that are different in theory and practice from our own. In Berlin, for in- stance, it is forbidden in apartment houses to water flowers except be- tween the hours of and in the morning; no one can play a piano before iu the morning or after 9 at night; TO bedding may be aired from a front window; bathing at night is forbidden; one may not employ a
