denburg Reviews Campaigns Russa's Upheaval Analyze
A Farmers State
r. G. Howe Gives Glowing
Picture of Danish Life

SroENMARE. A COOPERATIVE COM
sMoNWDALTH. by Frederic c. Howe
rupi,shed by Ifarcourt. Brace s Co.
n oDERN Denmark comes measur
IN ably close to realizing the idea
of the perfect state, according
to the impressions conveyed by Mr.
aowe in this book. 1t is a country
without large armies and navies and
without imperialistic ambitions. The
governments is thoroughly representa-
tive democracy, controlled by the farm
ers, who constitute the most important
element in the population.
Most important of all, the principles
of democracy are put into practice in
the transactions of everyday life. at
is economic rather than political de-
mocracy," says Mr.. Howe, "that distin-
guishes this little state from the other
countries of the world" This aspira-
ton for economic democracy finds ex-
preston in numerous successful and
highly developed cooperative enter
prises. The farmers enjoy the benefits
of cooperative dairies, slaughter houses,
marketing agencies and banks.
There is nothing dreamy or imprac-
tical about these organizations. They
have paid their way from the Begin
ming, and they have moro than
held their own against private competi-
tion. The Danish railways are state
owned, and the routes and tariffs are
80 arranged as to give the farmers
quick and inexpensive transportation to
their foreign markets.
DR.. Howe finds prosperity and COM
fort almost universal in Denmark. The
extremes of wealth and poverty are
generally avoided. Advanced social
legislation has been passed to meet the
needs of the city workers. Illiteracy is
almost unknown, and the average level
OF intelligence is surprisingly high,
largely as a result of the splendid
work of the so-called Peoples High
Schools, which furnish practical and
cultural instruction to workers and
1afnieIS VINO WOulQ De unable to spare
time and expense needed for an elabo-
rate university course.
The nature of these Peoples High
Schools is enthusiastically described by
DR.. Howe in considerable detail. He
regards them as fruitful experiment
in educational democracy.
The author recognizes the fact that
Danish conditions cannot be trans
planted bodily to America. So far there
is little need in this country for the
intensive methods of cultivation which
are necessary in land of small hold
ings, like Denmark AT the same time
DR.. Howe believes that American farm
ers could profitably learn few les
sons from their Danish fellow workers,
especially in such matters as organiz-
ing enterprises and making their polit-
icai power felt in national and state
legislative bodies.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-05
German Chief Fails to Remove
Shroud Of Legendary Glory
Field Marshal's Life Story Recalls Little of His
Personality, But Contains Interesting
Fragments of Military Criticism

icizes Verdun-a colossal blunder. He
goes further than most German sol
diers have gone, in admitting the faults
of the first Marne campaign. His
judgment of this operation is worth
quoting:
81 do not believe that one single
cause can make our great plan of
campaign, unquestionably the right
one, responsible. A whole series of
unfavorable influences was our un-
doing To these / must add {1) the
watering down of our fundamental
scheme of deploying with strong
right wing; CD the fact that through
mistaken independent action on the
part of subordinate commanders, our
left wing, which had been made too
strong, allowed itself to be firmly
held; (3) ignorance of the danger to
be apprehended from the strongly
fortified great railway works of
Paris; (4) insufficient control of the
movements of the armies by the
High Command; (5) perhaps also the
fact that at the critical moment of
the battle certain subordinate COM
mands were not in close enough
touch with a situation not in itself
unfavorable."
This is enlightened criticism. Hin
denburg also emphasizes more pointed
ly than Ludendorfs did that Amiens
was the necessary goal of the first Ger
man drive in northern France in 1918.
He admits that when Foch saved
Amiens that drive had practically
failed.
So far as Allied strategy is con-
cerned he justly derides the mess made
of the Rumanian campaign of 1916
and the failure of the Allies to attack
Turkey at her most vulnerable point in
Asia, namely, at Alexandretta. He
quotes Enver Bey as saying to him:
"My only hope is that the enemy has
not discovered our weakness at this
critical spot" He adds:
"If ever there was prospect of a
brilliant strategic feat it was here"
He wonders why Great Britain didn't
make use of her opportunity. But Sir
Ian Hamilton has told US that one of
kitchener's instructions to him was
that AleXandretta was "to be taboo
not to be touched" And British policy
wasn't changed after Kitchener's death
Hindenburg also contributes the in
formation that the Turkish army lost
100000 men defending Gallipoli, which
means that it was virtually wrecked
there.
The Field Marshal's outline of the
war is more interestingly written than
Ludendorff's. 1t is also naIver in tone
Like Ludendorff he tries to charge the
loss of the war to the German civilian
government. He lauds the old Prus-
sian military absolutism. But this abb
solutism was the chief source of Ger
many's political weakness. Her people
lacked unity because they felt that
they had been deprived of share and
a stake in the government. Both Hin
denbu1g and Ludendorff envied the
power of democratic dictatorship for
war exemplified in France Great Brit
ain and the United States. They do
not see yet that in the long run
democracy makes war most success
fully, because it is capable of unity
in time of trial and is able to change
rulers and break down hampering in
stitutions before defeat comes.
