h average man of those whom
you meet in city or country will tell
you that the Germans are a little more
than remarkable for their everlasting
efficiency. 1 used to think that too,
but now l think that the Teuton is a
thorough man rather than an efficient
man. In a large measure, efficiency
means being original, having inventive
ability, the ability to take the initia-
tive; it means being able to fill un-
looked-for breaches instantly.
The German, generally speaking, is
a sort of cut-and-dried fellow. He is
q man of p~recedents, and not big on
taking the initiative. He is a most
thorough developer of somebody else's
ideas; but, save for subterfuges, ex-
cuses, diplomatic" trickery, and un-
derhand and shameless methods Of
waging war, he is not much of an in
ventor. His submarine, his air.
planes,-well, just what is he using in
this war, for which he spent forty
years in preparation, that he himself
invented? A few kinds of poisons,
perhaps.
To be a thorough man is not to be
an efficient man. An imbecile may be
thorough at one thing or another. As
for efficiency, the entente allies,-in-
Guiding America, if you please,-are
more efficient at real war than the
nations comprising the central powers.
The entente worked wonders, mir
! acles, judging by precedent, consider
ing the short space of time they had
for preparation. Germany had had
forty years, you know.
But They Didn't.
Tt was a thorough, though purely
theoretical, reasoning that told the
| Teutons that they could cross Bel.
GUM. roughshOd and unhindered,
crushing Belgium and her spirits, to
take Paris. But they didn't do it. BY MI
the German rules of the var game
they could have won at the Marine, and
VET they didn't; and at Verdun. that
4crucible that made heroes, the defend
ers of the right again achieved the i'm
possible. German efficiency? It's 8
sort of fish story.
Speaking OF heroes you'll find he
roes under the British flag, and
French heroes, and Italian heroes
even Russian heroes, and even Ameri'
can heroes,-of ours Won remember
that American who, before the United
States declared a state Of war with
Germany, went up Yiny Ridge with q
small edition of Old Glory knotted to
his bayonet-but where are the heroes
of Germany?
Airmen? All airmen are superbrave
men. Hindenburg? He is merely an
ironsouted war lord.
The point at which the Germans ap-
yroach efficiency closest lies in the
