Herman Ridder Gives His Views on the War

The German regards his form ot gov
eminent. for the time being. as the
best for the purpos. for which il was
designed. Eminent American au-
thorities who have studied the qIes-
ton agree that for the present the
German Government cannot he i'm
proved upon.
We Il recognize, in discussing
a point o. this nature, that conditions
in Europe r essentially different
from those which obtain in this coun-
try. The only desertion from the
principle Of monarchy, on a major
scale, which has been observed in
Continental Europe during recent
history is that of France. And the
'Republiqu. Franchise Is just about
as monarchicai a. any other govern
ment OF Europe.
out of its present government the
German has drawn ia legiS-
lation the highest form OF Industrial
protection. The monarchy Of Ger

cialistic, n | can see M complaint
against il. The German, however.
docs not love monarchy in the mas

lists in Russia. He loves 1t only in the
form which, for a generation or more.

merely serves to make clear the un-
certainty Of the sandy defence which
the ocean and the fianking river have
built between them and II gives a fair
idea Of the natural difficulties that
must be COPIED with by engineering
cunning II further changes in the
coast line are to be permanently ar
rested.
The term permanently" Is used ad-
visedly. because all Of the expedlents
heretofore employed in the form OF
bulkheads and ietties have served
their purpose but temporarily. The
forces OF the ocean that have made
and unmade this sandy region In the
past are az potent to-day as ever.
Perhaps we can get q better idea Of
the situation IL we follow the imagined
wanderings OF a grain OF sand along
tho shore. Normally there is a slow
but steady current that sweeps along
the coast northward. Except when
stimulated by a strong wind our grain
Of sand does not wander save within
very narrow limits. But when a storm
from the southeast blows then thi.
~northbound current is greatly sc-
tolerated n the grain is carried on
ward under the impulse until It
reaches a point where there i. opposi-
ton. ard when the battling forces are
mutually ~neutra.ized then the vsgrant
grain comes 10 rest.
Look At the uppermost contour OF
Sandy loo "a shown on the map OF
1850 and then see how thi. tip has
spread westward In the years that
have interviewed. Why has his PENN
sula been nus modified? Simply
because at that point the flow OF sand
~northward has been arrested by the
tidal currents OF the lower bay and
the sand has halted when the opposing
currents called a u In their strug-

Theoretically this would he the
ideal way OF safeguarding the Jersey
shore. and would not cost more than
5000, 900 a mile. Unfortunately, a sur
vey would probably show that the
erosive action of recent years has
cut Into the beach so deeply that the
waterbed no longer shelves gradually
seward. but instead dips abruptly.
Taking an eighteen foot depth line
as the outermost limit for such a sub
merged b~reakwater. as conditions are
said TO be now in many places. this
would not be far enough seward TO
break up the I'VE and leave q
sufficient interval TO quiet the waters
reaching the beach. Indeed. the
gnawlng action Of tho Atlantic around
Seabright has left the shore dropping
precipitously 10 depths Of nearly
eighteen feet. and in such cases a sea
wall would alone suffice to afford
protection. Now a sea wall could not
be built for less -llan $500, 900 a mile.
The peninsula on which Seabright
and is %neighbors are set is undoubt-
edly menaced, and a succession of
southeast gales might quickly cut
through some OF the old inle,s or even
make new mes. But these imme-
diatelv imperilled towns are NOT the
