RECOGNIZING THE RUIN.

A Hamburg business man, writing IN
the Leipsic Neuste Nachrichten, draws
3 mournful picture of the business dis
aster' that the war has brought upon
Germany. He is not deceived by the
false glow of Germany's territorial con.
quests. He recognizes that those gains
are possibly balanced by Germany's loss
of her colonies, and certainly counter
balanced by her loss of world trade.
WE must not close our eyes" he
saws. ito the fact that England has in
the main achieved her war aims. Even
our wonderful military situation in Eu-
rope does not alter this. Our merchant
marine our commerce with the world
have been so thoroughly destroyed that
we must literally start from the be-
ginning again, and decades of strenu-
Gus work will not suffice to rebuild
what has been destroyed in these three
years."
He declares that the heaviest blow
was the ousting of German trade from
china and South America. He has been
given still more cause TO grieve since
