NEW YORK, Nov. "a. That Ger
many may not win in this war, was
conceded by Prof. Kuno Francke. OF
Harvard University. in his lecture on
"The Future of Germany" before the
Germanistic Society of America at the
Hotel AstOr. That as nation she
will never die. but viii live, stronger
and better than before. ne aihrms,
warmly.
If German arms are overcome by
money and numbers he said, "the
spirit OK Germany Will remain.
Il seemed as il every son and daugh-
ter Of the Fatherland living anywhere
around here must have crowded into
the Aston to hear Prof Francke. The
largest assembly room on the eighth
floor was used as the forum, but
proved insufficient The audience sat
on the chairs. on the floor, on the
rostrum. and overlooked into the cor
ridors. craninP necks on the chance
Of hearing a stray word.
DIT. Abraham Jacoby introduced the
speaker. who launched at once into a
description of the new Germany
which should arise when "tho blind
hatred and pass ons Of the great con-
flict are ended He predicted broad
and progressive changes in the army
he church the school he Govern
ment. and also IN the status Of wo-
men. Women. ne prophesied, would
gain q restricted suffrage out Of her
services in Germany's time Of stress.
Future Work for Women.
"'rhe war has discovered woman TO
GermanN" he declared '1And she
will never be permitted to 90 back
into her former retirement She will,
after peace comes, be social work
or in q new sense ] believe there
will be some sort Of civil service. cor
Responding to the universal military
service Of men. some work for tho
Government obligatory TO women. at
least to those who have any free
time And those who perform this
service will have q vote"
I'm predicting greater freedom and
breadth in Governmental methods.
Prof Francke took occasion 20 defend
the bureaucracy OF Germany, which.
he said. had been too long the subject

''No amount Of talk about autocracy
and one man rule" he said. "can con-
irovert the fact that a bureaucracy Is

surely the rule Of experts Is more rea-
sonable than the rule OF bosses. of
big business. Of the mob. Look al the
integrity q Oficialdom In the Ger
man cities and this integrity Is re-
ncafed in the officials Of the Central
