Germany's Schemes to Grasp World Trade

The position Of Germany economically in
1914 might be compared with the position
of Won klGck at the Marine with regard
TO Paris. World domination was within
reach of Germany'S commercial machine,
just as Paris was within reach of Won
klucks military machine, when his arm
was shattered
Germany was at the height of her com
mercial offensive, apparently on the eve
Of bending the whole world to her Geo.
romic will, when the whole fabric of Ger
manv's commercial and industrial suprem-
acy and prestige was threatened with
bankruptcy and collapse. SO rapid had
been Germany's advance. so infinite and
complex had been the raniiications Of her
economic system, according to NJ IIauser,
that the roots were unable to furnish SAP
10 the branches, leaving Germany finan-
cially much like Won kIuck's forces before
