gone astray, and having been
" transformed into "kultur' OF
efficiency with a badly con-
cealed connotation which spells mill
tarism IL the doctrine recently estab-
liShed by an American university pro-
fessor should, aside from its ingenuity,
contain some truth, might be deserving
of a funeral epilogue. While 1t seems
hopeless to disentangle what Americans
are wont to call militarism from efli-
cheney, 1t seems equally hopeless at the
present moment to do full justice TO
such concepts as culture and Kultur.
Yet to any one who has been fond
OF the former more simple aspect
short sketch of that which may be
called the cultural inheritance Of Ger
many might be welcome. As a mOurner
then as it were, for the time being, |
should wish to glory in that which to
me constitutes German culture Of the
past; culture, in the abstract, meaning
to me that which constitutes the gem
eral orientation OF an individual or, OF
nation as to such facts and experiences
which have come to mark the road OF
human thought and progress, which In
volve the problems OF past, present and
future, and which, II they are to be of
any use at all, must be reckoned with,
compassed, as it were, by the man OF
breeding and promise.
That through the centuries OF Ger
man history from Carolus Magnus
down to the present day something has
been accomplished along these lines,
that an enrichment OF ideas has taken
place which leads the German nation
to look upon its past days as having
not been spent in vain, would be my
first contention. Even most frag-
mentary survey OF the events OF his
torical period Of such length would
seem unsatisfactory; nor could one ex-
pect much from a mere enumeration OF
prodigies or giants, even II they be

In the case OF German culture the

There have been several special
scares. The first occurred at the out
break of the war when a German in
vasion really seemed imminent. Every
woman in Halifax had packed a little
bag with the barest of necessities and
possibly n few priced jewels. Every
man was either under arms or was
wishing that he had belonged to the
militia at some time OF his life or had
had some military training. The city

was put under the most stringent form

OUAKERS WIN
SECOND GAME
FOR POLO CUPS
Defeat Point Judith Four
Handily in Tourney at
NarraganSett Pier
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Narragansett Pier, Aug. 10.-In the
second game for the Atlantic cups in
the Polo Association tournament, at
the Point Judith Polo Club, to-day,
the Country Club team, of Philadel-
phia, won from Point Judith by a score
of IA to Az.
Team work was the main factor in
the victory, for the Quakers by group
ing their efforts in the third period
took a commanding lead, and the many
brilliant individual efforts of the Point
Judith four were effectually cancelled.
With two goals all, honors would
have been even after the first two
periods but for a safety forced on
Randolph, sr., which penalized Point
Judith by quarter goal. Philadelphia
gained four in the third period, and,
as neither side scored il the fourth,
the tally at half time was to Ia in
the visitors favor.
A spectacular incident was a back
handed goal by Strawbridge, jr., in the
third period, made at a difficult angle
with the ball seemingly paralleled with
the posts. Philadelphia added to its
score in each period of the second four,
but Point Judith only made singles in
the sixth, seventh and eighth, the last
two being scored by Stevenson.
There will be a practice game to-
morrow, and the third game for the
Atlantic cups is scheduled for Thurs
day; The annual gymktana is to be

The Tip Tops fielding was of the

the Packers TO score two of their runs.
Lee Magee was guilty of two fumbles,
one coming on Al Shaw in opening the
seventh inning, that paved the way for
two Kansas City runs. The latter team
was also responsible for a pair of err

Tip Tops in their scoring. Brooklyn
