Beveridge's Description Of Germany.
In the course of a recent article in
The Saturday Evening Post on the
tariff and its regulation Former Sen
ator Albert ]. Beveridge gave one of
the best descriptions of Germany that
we have ever seen. He did so in a
realistic manner, yet in only a few
words. We reprint it:
Germany is only about three
fourths as large as Texas. If you
cut out Of northern Texas a section
as big as Maryland, Vermont, New
Hampshire, Massac achusetts, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode
Island, combined, you will have, in
the remainder Of the Lone Star State
a country about the size of Germany.
If into this smaller Texas you will
crowd all the people of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Massachusetts,,
Missouri, Georgia, New Jersey, Cali
fornia, Kentucky, Iowa, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Alabama, Minnesota,
Virginia, Mississippi, and Louisiana
you will have about the population
of Germany.
'.If, now, you will take from this
reduced Texas, thus jammed full Of
human beings, good half Of her fer
tility and natural resources, you will
have about the kind Of land that OF
the average makes up the German
Empire. And, finally, If you viii.
place on the Texan coast only two
commercial ports, shallow and hare
to get at, you will have the sea out.
lets of Germany.
Imagine now these sixty-hye mil.
lion people, with deadly enemies or
every side of them except the Louis
lana side; and with the richest com
mercial nation on earth, owning the
most powerful navy in the whole
world, located within half days
sail, and that nation the bitterest Of
them all-and you have fairly true
picture of Germany's present sur.
roundings.
"Then think of those people, thus
located, building through the years a
big navy, for themselves, and keeping
up and training a military establish
ment so vast that every man is a
trained soldier, with the tremendous
expense that all this reQuires-anC
you have an idea of the outlay the
German people have made year By
year for more than generation.
These people, thus situated and
conditioned, are meeting the blows o:
such a combination of foes as history
gives no account Of. Slav, Latin.
Mongolian, African, Indian, British,
and mixed Belgian-all now assailing
the German people with fire anc
sword. Yet such is Germany's eco.
nomic and financial condition that
she is actually able to wage effective
war with four of the greatest Powers
in the world; and that, too, with the
principal money kings Of modern
times, now living in France and Eng
land, relentlessly and ruthlessly
against her.
There are many reasons. OF
course, for this German miracle OF
preparedness-such as individual in.
dustry, thrift, economy, and right
living; such as the application OF
science to agriculture as we'll as tc
manufactures; such as physical
health and economic efficiency, which
the Germans military training sc
greatly promotes; such as the system
and cooperative teamwork that
marks German activities quite as
much in industry and commerce as IN
war"
