man progress as to be unable to
understand the German point of view.
This opinion has grown as Ger
many has shown her ability to thrive
on misfortunes, and to rise to heights
of attainment capable of meeting
every new task imposed upon the ma
ton. Each new victory on the battle
field and in departments OF internal
organization has been regarded as
one more proof that the Germans
really are the worlds super-men.
German Kultur is now firmly believed
to have conquered all opposition and
to have established its prominence
among adverse conditions such as
never before have had to be encount-
cred by the aspirations of any nation
in all history
Germany has shown no spirit in
the past year of revolt against her
form Of government. Democracy and
absolution have been in combination
against the German system of mix
ture Of the two. The result is de-
clared by Germans to be such as TO
increase the faith of the Teutonic
Empire in its own governmental
methods. There probably Will be a
more equable division of electoral
districts in Germany as the result Of
the war, and political parties may
have their representation in the
Reichstag seriously altered, but Ger
many is not going TO duplicate the
British brand of democracy.
The German people believe they
owe their existence as a nation to the
unprecedented capacity for organiza-
ton and discipline they have deyel-
oped during the past year. The feel
| ing has developed that British democ-
racy is incapable of reaching to the
heights attained by Germany. and If
the Germans had been governed ac-
cording TO the British system they
would now be crushed and at the
mercy of their foes. The world said
during the early days of the war that
Germany would emerge from the con-
! flict democratized The Germans are
now laughing at that prediction. They
declare the prophesy must be read
backward. and democracy win have
to Germanize itself If it is to keep
pace with Germany's progress in the
future.
Another early prophesy of Ger
manys enemies which is now being
recalled with mirth was the one pro-
Tossing to see the certainty Of a Ger
man revolution before the war had
gone very long. AS a matter Of fact
the Franco Prussian war did not
solidify the people OF the Empire as
much as this conflict has done. All
Germany is now a unit and has been
increasing in solidarity from the frsl
shot. Prussia has not dominated the
nation at all. The south German
states have shown no jealousy of the
powerful northern nucleus of the EN-
pire The Prussian regiments, in fact
have not been the prize ones of the
war. Catholic Bavaria has been the
staunchest supporter of the protest
ant Hohenzollern.

Some said the revolutlonlsts had the

the praise due Admiral Sturdee and
his men for their wonderful work in
hunting down and defeating Won Spree

was Churchill who made this feat
possible.
There has been a good deal of criti-
cism of the British now because early
in the war il failed TO catch the Ger

recent months adequately to protect
merchant shipping against submarine
attacks. But II should be borne in
mind that the one big job of the Ad-
miralty is to see that the grand fleet

German feet when il comes out In a

The year did not pass without its
admiralty scandal-an ugly blot on

PARIS, July 26.-"The great world
war is one year old this week; What has
France accomplished
put this question to NJ. Jean Cruppi,
ex-minister Of foreign affairs, member
of the Chamber of Deputies and of the
Foreign Relations Commission, a man
physically not very unlike Theodore
Roosevelt He replied
France accomplished the defeat of
the Germans in the battle Of the Marine;
she stopped the German drive for Calais
and the sea she has kept Germany nail
ed to the spot for ten long months,
steadily reducing her by attrition; she
has done many other big things. but the
greatest of all was the dropping of in-
ternal differences, her unifcation of all
classes with one, great, fixed purpose in
view; Victory
Yes he continued earnestly. "our
word union means something more than
the harmony of our people; there is
something of the sacred in it. This sa-
cred union will last. France is as one
man with one idea: final success. cost
what it mayl The war, no doubt, will
he long, but the courage and patience
Of our people will be equal to the task
of seeing it through.
'In short, perhaps the greatest accom-
plishment to Frances credit in the last
twelve months is that she has found
herself"
To appreciate fully NJ. Cruppis words
one has but to glance back at the France
Of the years Just preceding the war;
France, the nation of individual workers
and thinkers, where no two people could
be expected to agree on any subject.
In the Chamber of Deputies there are
a score OF more parties instead of two
or three, as is the case in the United
States. The Dreyfus affair split the
nation into two hostile camps and each
camp into Others with varying opinions.
The Caillaux case to some extent did
the same thing

BERLIN. July 26.-Germany looks
back upon her accomplishments OF the
6rst year of the war with satisfaction.
The Germans believe the events Of the
past twelve months have demonstrat-
ed to the world that the Teutons are
the mightiest race of all history. No
other country could have withstood
the combination of world powers
which Germany has kept at bay since
last August, declare the Germans, and
no other country has ever so deeply
stirred the imagination of the world.
Germany has won her way to asplace
in the sun. The German Empire has
added brilliant chapters to the history
of Teutonic might begun under the
Hohenzollerns of the Kingdom OF
Prussia. The Kaiser himself has
earned for himself the title of William
the Great. which posterity surely will
bestow upon him These are the domi-
nant beliefs of the German people at
the close OF the first year of the war.
Germany has shown up the world
In all its littleness, and all it's boast
ings of false greatness. Only the
Germans themselves have withstood
the test of blood and iron for only the
Germans have gained victories during
the past fateful twelve months. Ger
many believes she has changed the
whole future course of history. Ger
man influence upon the future of civil
lization for generations to come will
be far beyond the influence of any
other nation. Germany will not dom
mate the world by her armed might,
but by her virtues which have given
to her a greater capacity for organ
ization and discipline than all the rest
Of Europe combined possesses.
When the Germans look back to
last August and recall the threats that
then we're being made against them
and the penalties that we're imposed by
England. France and Prussia in ad-
vance of the trial by battle, the nation
laughs. The world didn't understand
Germany last summer. It is beginning
to learn now that the Hohenzollern
Empire has progressed during the
years since the Franco-P russian war in
ways unsupported by the rest of man
kind. There is nothing in the Ger
man Of today that wasn't put there by
the discipline and study that the
world knows under the name of Teu.
