EVOLUTION or GERMANY IN

Lensch says the evolution OF Ger

that out OF the greater Prussia created
by the war against Austria in 1866 and
of the little Germany which was tho
outcome Of tie Franco P:ussian. War

Germany of the future.
The evolution which began in 1896,
and which moved forward another steu
in 1879, when the North ana South Ger

on. Those who saw in the events OF
1870 definite solution of the German

were mistaken. The evolution Of Ger
