Swltserland to the prosalo sand bank of the North and lSallfC- seaa in me north of the powerful Prussian military empire, thl 1 now our course. I migiai remark that a bird's-ey view tf Europe' geographical appearance adds to th pleaaure of travel there. Think of Europe a mainly one great plain, part of this plain submerged, a In tha English channel, th shallow North sea and tha l'.altlc. Then nee iu th south a tremendous mountain-wall thrown up frcm west to east. Th Pyrennc of Spain and Franc, th Alps of tSwItierland and Tyrol, the Balkans and th Caucasus of southeastern Russia, a wall which the Roman empire had a haul time to climb over. Look north to Scandinavia with It high mountain-rib In Norway set in a north and south dire. Hon. Let th rugged ocean Island of Iceland west of Norway stick up from th aubineiged plain with it moun tain tower, th volcanic liekla. Then add her and there on thl plain soma patches of hill-country like th Scotch highlands, th Black forest of southwestern Germany, th Carpatbalu mountain and th Apen nines of Italy. Remember that Holland Is low, because th plain 1 there sinking Into th ae. a it also I In th north of Germany, southeastern Sweden and at the swampy shore of Russia, and you have a littl picture In your mind that 1 valua ble becaut It give a slmpl Idea of Europe, th continent of many wondrouj land.

One of our best sales, thoii 19c ing thieving countries as well as like in dividuals, and then dear old Germany has something coming to it After all, the conquered province have been vastly Im proved. Strassburg 1 a mighty city now, with a new, superior university, and splendid civic order of the mathematically perfect Prussian type. Over all that mira cle of architecture the Strassburg cathe dral Is brooding prayerfully. There was much spiritual darkness in the medieval ages, but what gigantic yearning of the oul heaved the bosoms of men then and struggled for visible expression in such structures as this cathedral. A church today 1 a product of the head. Then rt was a prayer, a benediction, a song of tri umph, a bodying forth of heaven-piercing Ideals that would have slain their owner had they not found form In the temples and cloisters of proud glory. The times were rude and fierce, but Idealistic and creative, too, when such prayer-fanes as the Strassburg Muenster slowly rose from earth to sky. Of church Interior I have een the cathedrals of Milano and Strass burg have won my heart most. St. Peter's In Rom 1 a pompous, compelling, worldly show place. Th Strassburg Muenster 1 a prayer la stone. If th choir Interior were like th rest of the church, Gothic and not Romanesque, I believe I would prise the Strassburg church mor than any I have seen. Beginning with th choir and going to the towers, you have Romanesque, early, middle, late and florid Gothic In regular historical suc cession, a very unique lesson In architec ture In one and the same structure. What a creation this cathedral, standing now since "00 years on the Rhine plain. today In the midst of a modern manufac turing city full of th prosy woe and th moneyed blessings of an Industrial era In the world' history! That th Frnch were In Strassburg for a century has left it Impression on the city. A certain brightness and lightness of tone prevails here. The clumsy German movement has yielded to tlie more mobile French man ner. Except for the solemn Prussian mil itary that has thrown Its walla of steel about tha people! A rant the German war preparation In Strassburg, a lieutenant at Mains, who jkindiy thowed me the barracks at the latter jclty, told me that when France and Ger many clash once more (and what German I of fict r does not believe that all the wo. id ; Is against Germany?) the battle will not be fought on Prussian or French territory, as the b.ider fortresses are too strong on both sides, but In Belgium. What a com pllineul to dear llitle Belgium to have the possible honor of rearing another " L.on mound" of "Waterloo on lis often blood drenched fields! I started to express to the lieutenant my tender sympathies for poor Belgium, buf th officer didn't und.r Ktand my peaceful emotion. Th great Berlin "war lord'" officer are on and all of th Blsmarcklan "blood and Iron" type so far as their profession goes.

Fierce as the Prussian mili tary system Is, it appears not to have stifled In the nation the softer virtue of love and home affections which more pam pered people of finicky civilization and over-refinement hav so little of. Germany till has an abundance of homely virtue. If It did not I should almost despair of this cruelly burdened land, burdened not like Russia by ferocious autocracy, but by a self-chosen load of military misery, that ha temporarily added strength, pomp and glory to the realm, but which sooner or later must crush the people to th earth When a land must place a tax on bread stuffs, coffee and like dally necessities to maintain an army and to cover a growing deficit, then It la time to learn from his tory that this must stop, or the nation will collapse. The industry, Ingenuity and grit of the German people ar actually astound ing. W may safely say that Germany Is the most completely organized country In th world. It natural resource ar not huge, but It use of It avall&bl treasures Is amazingly complete. If w husbanded our resources as Germany her w would be ten times richer than w are. To me Germany seemed to be a nation of giant entrgy, physically and Intellectually, not nervous energy, but elemental, rugged en ergy plus an Intellectual development that permeates every portion of It life. Intellect In achools, in business and In dally life. It is, perhaps, th most eminently self conscious nation on the earth with the moat eminent reasons for Ita high estimate of itself. And such a people shall force upun luelf the most elaborate and powerful and crushing military system known to history, Is It not a pity? "But we must, said th afoiementioni ! lieutenant, "for we are surrounded by enemies." It lay In my plan to visit th so-called "Luther place" of Germany, for th re freshing of my heart as well a for study. Germany's three greatest men of epochal Importance are Emperor Charlemagne, "Gb-bW, Martin Luther the Reformer, died lUo, and the late Bismarck, creator of modern Germany. Old Speler, on the Rhine plains, and Worm, famous for the Liet of 13-1 and for It grand Luther monu ment, were on the direct line north. The journeyed tlx n turned northeast toward Eisenach, Erfurt, Lelpsio, Wittenberg and Eialeben, the latter Luther's birthplace. At the Roman Cathedral of Worms I was not a little surprised to find that Luther picture were sold In the very main portal of th cathedral. I expressed my surprise to tha sexton and be replied: "Tha paople will have them." Charlemagne waa the flrat great Incarnation of Teutonic great nesa and the real founder of medieval Ger many.

It may safely be said that Luther Is the most typical German of all German history. In him modern history, too, came Into conscious existence, for while, Indeed, the fall of Constantinople with consequent influx of Greek art and letters, the invention of printing, the renaissance of Italy and the discovery of America, prepared for a new era, th time had to be born In and through a giant personality. Luther was that man. Bismarck has created the modern Prussian empire, the mightiest single nation In the orld. If military prowess and education be elements of superiority. Northern Germany 1 a very prosy plain. Right in the midst of a great, but culti vated-, sand-heath lies Berlin, the most perfectly organized, the cleanest and the proudest metropolis of the earth. Berlin is not as artistic as Paris, nor a elegant as Pari at her best. It Is clumsier than the French capital, but suggests power and might In a superior degree, and la more modern than either great London or beaj- tlful Pari. There are no slums In Berlin. Compare New York and Chicago in this respect, cities of a nation born only yes terday, and the Import of the statement as to Berlin grow. The ambitious Memorial church la a heavy Berlin edition of St Paul' In London. It displeased me very much. Germany could do Infinitely better work than so. Some one told me that in imperial favorite had been entrusted with the creation of the design. If so, the re sult is a new proof that favoritism Is a pernicious practice. The yellow pews and the tasteless mixture of color In the marble pillars, as well as the general coldness, combine to destroy the effect, and yet the building was Intended to be a worthy Ger man Westminster Abbey, a national church. The Wllhelm I monument la, on the other hand, a gigantic conception. This is Prus slan military Idealism in monumental stone, breathing forlh the glory of war. the defiance and the triumph of a warlike and cultured people, the boast arid con sciousness of mastery that such a nation as Germany possesses. Four lions are at the base; in one you see disdain, in the next defiance, in a third ferocious readi ness for attack, and in the fourth the abso lute calm of majestic mastery. Comparing this work with the antique one feels that the class, c sculptors achieved deeper Hi -is. with less lines and mor simplicity. Bat th antique la gone. W must think in our onn modern nervous way, or nit at all. Leaving the monument and the palace across the street you enter L'nter dt n Linden, the famous boulevard.
