GERMAN WAR REVIEW, 1916
By Carl w. Acker1nan.

By Carl w. Alderman.
United Press staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Dec. 30.-Germany is as
-aady for peace as she is for con
linued war. Her record of 1916 JUS
tifies either. She begins the year
1917 with her lines on the western
front unbroken after England's and
Frances supreme efforts and this de
spite the fact that her armies have
swept victorious over three-fourths
of Rumania.
Foremost Of the years events in
Germany was the proffer Of peace
by the Imperial Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg. German public opin-
ion applaud that sentiment which
urged this magnanimous tender. The
Chancellor's speech in the Reichstag
and his note to Germany's enemies
aptly summarized the view OF the
German people.
In the German view, it is now en-
tirely a matter for the Allies to de-
cide--whether they desire to make
peace, or continue fighting. Germany
wants peace-but her united public
opinion, her uncrushed army and
navy, are ready to fight on.
As a matter of fact, Germany to-
day is passing thru transition per-
iod in her internal affairs. Because
the world at large has been SO in
terested in purely war affairs, IL has
overlooked perhaps the most import
ant movement in Germany since 1914.
That development is the "Neuohien-
tieruny" meaning "readjustment Of
the nation to changing conditions"
Really, it is the German Renaissance
of 1916--a peaceful, political revolu-
ton working so quietly that even
some Germans do not see its develop
ments.
Repeatedly the Danes and the
Dutch and other neutrals ask "When
will the revolution begin?" believing
that changing conditions can only be
