difference between German character
and American character or English
character, the human industrial ma
chine of Germany, which has achieved
such marvellous success in the develop
ment of German trade and commerce,
cannot be overlooked Since Bismarck
laid down his dictum on the right to
work Germany has taken the lead in
what is now commonly called welfare
legislation.
Bismarck was speaking of industrial
insurance. Since his time Germany has
provided for accident insurance with a
large measure of responsibility thrown
on the employer. Its system of invalid
insurance and insurance against sick
ness has been minutely worked out, as
has the system of old-age pensions.
1t has not yet undertaken to insure
against Unemployment, but the mu-
nicfpal labor exchanges and similar
bodies which are directed by the mu-
inequalities or by the state tend in that
direction.
When Chancellor LLOYD George star
tied England with his proposals for
old-age pensions and similar welfare
legislation he got not only his ideas
but, likewise, the details of his whole
scheme from a careful study of the
German system.

industrial districts of the Rhine, at

Russell, Benbow and Cochrane. These
names are found among the battle
ships, of which there are sixty; the
nine the thirtyfour armored cruisers
and the seventeen heavy protected
cruisers. The seventy light cruisers.
the 232 destroyers, the hundred and
marines and the fifty-two sea-going
auxiliaries would supply interesting
data for study in ships names.
As one might reasonably conclude,
royal names of Germany are generous
ly or plentifully impressed on the war
craft of the German empire In the
battleships of the earlier type-that is,
those that were commissioned in 1898,
1900 and 1901, are the Kaiser Freder-
ich III, Kaiser Wilhelm II. Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse, Kaiser Karl der
Crosse and Kaiser Barbarossa. These
ships are not as formidable as their
names would indicate because they
antedate the era of great speed and
great armament. though at the time
of their building they were considered
marvels Of naval architecture. and they
carried all the heavy ordnance which
the warship designer of that period
would allow. The ships have a dis
placement of 1854 tons, speed Of
eighteen knots and each carries four
94-inch guns, fourteen 59-inch,
twelve 3.4-inch rapid fire. twenty guns
OF smaller caliber and each is equipped
with five torpedo tubes.

Five powerful battleships were added
to the German fleet in 1913, each hav-
ing displacement of 24,31O tons, a
horsepower of $4,000. coal capacity
of $500 tons, speed of twenty-one
knots and an armament of ten 12-fnch
guns, fourteen 5.9-inch rapid IRE guns
and twelve 3.4-inch rapid fire guns.
Their names are the Frederick der
Crosse, Kaiser. Kaiserin, Konig Albert
and Prinz Regent Luitpold. One of the
three battleships of 1914 is the KONG.
a superdreadnought of 26.575 tons dis
placement. $4,000 horsepower, a speed
of twenty-five knots, thirteen inches of
side armor, ten 14-inch guns, fourteen
rapld-fre guns and twelve 3.4-inch
rapld-hre guns. Among the German
cruisers are the Prinz Heinrich and the
Prinz Adalbert.
The nomenclature in the French
navy Is democratic and has a strong
leaning toward hestowing on ships
the names of Frenchmen great in
French history. She has battleships
named Republique, Patrie, Democratic,
Justice and Verite. Some of the great
French names borne by French war
ships are Danton, Mira beau, Diderot
Condercet, Voltaire, Jeanne dare, Mont
calm, Duplex, Desaix, Kleber, Leon
Gambetta, Jules Ferry. Victor Hugo
ana Waideck Russeau. Then, too,
France has ST. Louis and a Charl-
magne' Jean Bart and Gueydon.

SHIP TING THE CAPITAL,

TsHE removal of the seat of govern
ment, or the capital Of a country,
from one city to another may re-
call to the minds Of many Americans that
the capital Of the United States was once
a wandering capital, and that in the early
days of the republic was shifted from
city to city. The changes in the seat of
government were frequent until the cap
ital was firmly and permanently estab-
lished on the Potomac river around the
junction with that river and the Eastern
branch.
Philadelphia, New York. Baltimore,
Lancaster. Pa; York, Pa; Princeton.
N. j.; Trenton. N. J., and Annapolis. Md.
have been at one time the capital OF the
United States. After the close Of the
war of independence there began discus
sion Of the need for determining on a
city. or site, for the permanent capital
for the republic, and New York, King
ston. N. Y; Newport, r. l.; German
town, Pa; Annapolis, Trenton, Baltimore,
Williamsburg. Va, and a number of
other cities were active candidates for the
honor and profit of being the permanent
capital Of the United States.
Then. when it had been determined not
to locate the seat of government in a
city already in being, but to select
site and create a national capital, the
claims of many localities were presented
to Congress and pressed upon its atten-
ton.

and the offers of various states to pro-

The foreign commerce of Germany In
normal times amounts to 100000 $1,000
annually. The bulk of this commerce is
sea-borne traffic.
Hamburg. Bremen and Lubbock know
the meaning to all Germany of a para
lyzed world fleet. So do the cities of
Dortmund and Cologne, centers of iron
and steel production; Chemntz. in
Saxony. the center of the textile and
hosiery industry, and Solingen and
Remscheid, whose cheap cutlery and
hardware and hand tools have won
their way in the worlds markets. So
does Dresden with its pottery manufac-
lures, and scores of other industrial
centers which have their own special
ties.
The German merchant marine is the
visible expression of the industrial and
commercial development of the German
people. 1t is actually a thousand indus
trial communities afoat. 1t reflects the
evolution since 1870 of disconnected
agricultural Kingdoms into an indus
militarism.
German idealism may have been lost
In the evolution. The German retort to
this suggestion is that such a thing as
. British ldealsm never existed. and that
Germany. having had something and lost.
1t, is better off than England, which
never had it to lose.
The thousand industries which make
up Germany's floating trade reflect in
the highest degree the German genius
for organization. Science and system
have combined to apply to trade and
industry modern discoveries, and the
result is a commercial marine to carry
under the German flag the practical
fruits of these industrial applications.
Inc chemical industry usually is taken
as the most striking illustration of
German capacity for bending science to
utility. The German laboratories ad-
mfttedly are in the forefront. The
anxiety caused by the prospect of the
textile industries of the United States
being unable to get German chemicals

REAT BRITAIN exercises a freer
r fancy in the naming of her war
ships than does the United States,
which gives to its battleships the
names of states; the cruisers the
names of cities. and to torpedo boats
or destroyers the names of distin-
guished and historical naval men.
Among the British battleships are
the Magnificent, Majestic, Victorious
and Illustrious, which belong to the
group of ships built between 1895 and
1898, and in the class of battleships
built between 1900 and 1902 are the
Glory and the Vengeance. The bat
tleships Formidable, Irresistible. Ven
cradle and Implacable belong to
slightly later period. The Triumph
and the Swiftsure are of the same per
iod. but of smaller class. In 1909 the
Superb was launched. and behind her
came the Vanguard. In 1912 came the
Conquerer and the Thunderer. and a
little later the Audacious. Ships to be
called the Valiant. Resolution and Re-
nown are building. The ship Dread
nought. which gave its name to a
class, was launched in 1907 and has
been exceeded in size, power and arma
ment by later ships. Among this class
are the InfieXible, 1ndomItabie, In
vincible and interchangeable. Among the
British armored cruisers are the War
rior Defense and Terrible.
The BRUSH navy runs good deal
to the classics and mythology in the
nomenclature of its ships, as for ex-
ample, among the battieships are the
Jupiter, Mars, Agamemnon, Bello-
rophon, Neptune, Colossus. Hercules.
ORION, Centurion. Bacchante Eurylus,
Leviathan, Achilles Minataur, Endy-
mion, Theseus. Europa, Niobe. Andro-
media, Amphritrite, Argonaut and
Ariadne.
Also the British ships have a fair
sprinkling of names suggesting royalty.
There are the Prince George the
Queen, the Prince of Wales. the King
Edward VII, the Monarch, the King
George V. the Iron Duke, the Emperor
of India, the Queen Mary, the King
Alfred, the Black Prince. Duke of Dew
onshire and Royal Arthur.
Among the interesting place-names
Of British warships are the Dominion,
Dalandia, Hindustan, Britannia, Africa,
Hibernia, St Vincent. Malaga, Ramil-

Sweet Clover

The Kansas Experiment in recent
publication makes it plain that sweet
clover, hitherto neglected plant, de-
spised as a pernicious weed, has very
considerable agriculture value. 1t is
stated that as a soil improver it is
can be utilized to good advantage
where alfalfa or red clover can not
be successfully grown.
Attention called to the fact that
there are several varities of sweet
clover, of which the common white
sweet clover and the large biennial
yellow sweet clover are the most I'M
portant The white variety is general
ly to be preferred for farm purposes
although the biennial yellow is some
times preferred where hay production

Women as Home Wreckers

Frequently it is argued that if wom-
en- are allowed to vote, the homes of
the United States will be wrecked
A few days ago the women of Illinois
had an opportunity to do some home
wrecking* And this is the way they
did it. They put LOO saloons out of
business out of a total of $500. That
is the way women can be relied upon
to wreck homes-homes of vice. The
saloons have no defenders. Many in
telligent men who are sincerely and
honestly anti-prohibitionists do not de-
fend the saloon. They simply say that
a man should be permitted to take a
drink If he SO desires, but they make
no plea in favor of the benefits to be
derived from the open saloon The
Illinois women have done well as a
start. Next time they will probably
add another thousand saloon scalps
to their belts and wreck a thousand
more homes of vice and iniquity.-
