War in Europe
AS SEEN IN GERMANY
(Continued From Page One)
Germany will not dominate the world
by her armed might, but by her virtues
which have given to her a greater ca
pacity - for organization and discipline
than all- the rest of Europe combined
possesses. ' -
.When the Germans look back to last
August and recall the threats that then
were being made against them, and the
penalties that were imposed -by ; Eng
land, France and Russia In advance of
the trial by battle, the nation laughs.
The world didn't understand Germany
last summer.. It is beginning to learn
now that the Hohenxollern empire has
progressed' during the years since the
Franco-Prussian war In ways un
suspected by the i rest r of" mankind.
There is nothing in the German of to
day that wasn't, put there by the dis
cipline and study that the world knows
under the name of Teutonic Kultur.
P r BeriEion of Koltur.
The increasing respect" paid to Ger
man Kultur Is not one of the least vic
tories tue Germans declare they have
won for . themselves during the rpast
year. Nothing ;: came as a greater
shock to the Germans last year than
the way In which their Kultur was
everywhere derided. . : The - comments
passed upon Germany for her . strong
belief in " her; own destiny, : as "; repre
sented by her Kultur caused more re
sentment than anything else that hap
pened In the early days of the war. The
German indignation at last changed
to contempt as the idea grew that the
world laughed at Teutonic Kultur be
cause the world had been left so far
behind by German progress as to be
unable to understand the German point
of view. ' ; s ' i, ;::;;
This opinion has grown as Germany
has shown her ability to thrive on mis
fortunes and to rise to heights of ' at j
tainment capable of meeting every new
task imposed upon the nation. . Each
new victory on the battlefield and in
departments- of internal organisation
has been - regarded as one more proof
that f; the i Germans ?, really are v the
world's jBuper-men., German Kultur is
now firmly believed'to have conquered
all oppocitlon and to have established
its preeminence among adverse condi
tions'" such, as never., before .have had
to , be encountered - by the aspirations
of any nation in all history. - --
Satisfied With GOTernment.
Germany has shown no spirit in the
past" year of revolt against her form
of government - Democracy and abso
lution; have been in combination
against the German system of a mix
ture of the two. f :Tbe result is declared
by Germans to be such as to increase
the. faith of the Teutonic empire in Its
own . governmental ; methodsu ' - There
probably will be a more equable divi
sion of ejectoral : districts in Germany
as the result of the war, and political
parties may have1 their representation
in the Reichstag- seriously altered, but
Germany is not going to duplicate the
British brand of democracy. ;Vrfii -"':
.The ' German, people bell eye .they -owe
their existence as a nation to the un
precedented capacity for organization
and discipline they have developed dur
ing the past year. " The feeling has de
veloped that British democracy Is in
capable, of reaching to the heights at
tained by Germany, and if the Ger
mans had been governed according to
the British system they would now be
crushed and at the mercy of their foes.
The world said during the early days
of the war that Germany would emerge
from the conflict . democratized. r The
Germans are now , laughing at that pre
diction: - They ideclare the prophecy
must be read backward, and democracy
will have to Germanize itself if it is
to. keep pace 'with Germany's progress
in the' future. - -
- Another early " prophesy of Ger
many's enemies which is now being
recalled with mirth was , the one pro-
