Germany From the Inside

Last year the New York Globe sent staff
correspondent to Germany to ascertain first
hand whether that nation had sufficient food
supply and munitions of war to carry on the
conflict. This year it did the same thing. The
results of his investigations are summarized in
an editorial expression which follows:
A careful study by staff correspondent of
the World of the internal situation in Germany
as it is today as compared with the conditions
he found existing there last spring, when he
made similar investigation, reveals many i'm
portant changes. From sources German, neu-
trail, and unneutral divergent reports of the grav
The World today presents first hand information
gathered on the spot and reviewed in the light of
earlier personal knowledge.
Germany's foresight in marshaling it's re-
sources in good season and dealing effectively
with domestic problems affecting Immediately
the life of it's noncombatants has contributed i'm
mensely to it's powers of endurance. Like the
other nations at war; it has felt the pinch of ris
ing prices for food, but more than them it has
had to guard against national shortage that
would have Slapped its vitality and morale In
certain respects the stoppage of supplies has
been acutey felt so far the effect on the issue of
the war cannot be traced. .e. -.s>s
The picture of Germany from the inside leads
to an understanding of the spirit in which the
war is being fought by the kaiser's subjects such
as official utterances can reflect. It is peo-
pie weary of war, but resolved to go on to the
end; confident, but ready for peace, lasting and
honorable-in German eyes, 1t is not state of
affairs-as seen by the Worlds staff correspond
ent-that promises an early end of the war; eth
er from economic weakness or military exhaus-
ton, either from moral fatigue or physical dis
tress.

Better Commercial Training Demanded.

In his first annual report chief of the bu-
reau Of foreign and domestic commerce, Dr.
Edward Ewing Pratt calls attention to the abso-
Lutte necessity for improved methods Of educating
men for the foreign trade. He asserts that with
few exceptions the colleges and universities are
doing very little to train men for this important
field. He says in part:
Exception is taken to the men with only
theoretical training who are often put in charge
of commerce classes in schools and colleges 1T
is to be regretted that the actual work OF instruc
ton is not intrusted to men who have some prac-
tical or personal knowledge of the subject. A
mere secondhand acquaintance, mere book
knowledge of foreign trade is inadequate. l do
not mean by this statement to advocate the en-
ployment of merely practical exporters as in
structors. But do advocate the employment of
men who have gathered their facts and informa-
ton by personal Investigation, and have thus &C
quired first-hand knowledge and have practi-
cal contact with the things which they propose
to teach" ~. T..
This criticism of prevailing methods of train
ing men to carry on our foreign trade follows a
discussion of the part the United States has
come to play in international trade. AS result
of the war the American business community is
rapidly being forced into the worlds trade arena.
The United States has been compelled to become
the worlds producing and commercial center,
and, for time at least, the worlds financial
