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

were like th rest of the church, Gothic
and not Romanesque, I believe I would

any I have seen. Beginning with th
choir and going to the towers, you have

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

itary that has thrown Its walla of steel
about tha people!
A rant the German war preparation In

fought on Prussian or French territory, as
the b.ider fortresses are too strong on

only a warrior, but also a lover, and when
I raw him In that capacity he was as ten
der as a maiden, as kindly as an affec
tionate boy. 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

German and we may say Teutonic life in

north European national life wrested It
self loose from the bondage of Latinized
south Europe. 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

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

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
