9 Literary and Criticism The Problems of Labor and Capital r' in Modern Germany. London. November 23. good book on modern Germany Is a great pain. There is no foreign country from which Americans and Englishmen have so much to learn as the Fatherland.

Mr. William Hartoutt Day.son In "The Evolution of Modern Germany." published by Mr. T. Fisher explains in detail, without- exaggeration or mi the triumph of a trading nation. It IT.

This Is his eighth on Germany, and it is written on lines and hi crammed from cover cover with well digested information. There is no other book which contains so much that Americans ar.d shnsen ought to know about modem Germany. Mr Datvson concentrates attention upon the fact that the Germans are absorbed in industrialism as no other nation is preoccupied with business. The rapid growth of population the lack of colonies suitable for settlement have compelled them to force their way into the markets with irresistible energy and eystem.

Since the war with over 20.0X),-000 have been added to the Inhabitants of the empire, the annual Increase Is now over and xvith the steady reduction of infant mortality and of tho death rate it may become a full million before By 1925 the population of the empire will have advanced from to 80,000.000. With a growth of population equal to the combined Increase of the United Kingdom. Austria-Hungary. Italy and France. Germany is forced to choose between emigration on a never experienced before and the multiplication of its Industrial occupations and products.

Emigration is retarded by the absence of colonies in the true sense. The colonial empire is made up of dependencies and protectorates 5n tropical countries, where plantation enterprises can be worked only by native labor. The most promising section is Southwest Africa, where there is a temperate climate for a considerable agricultural colony. With foreign possessions incapable of development on a large scale, emigration thrratens the empire with absolute loss unless a substitute can be found for a colonial empire in the ordinary sense. "TVeltpolitlk" is Indeed an economic necessity, when a prolific nation is growing beyond the physical conditions of its surroundings.

There must be outward expansion, and the new German navy is built in recognition of the trend of national policy. Pan-Germanism, with a hypothetical absorption of the German speaking portions of the Austro-Hunrarian empire offers no solution of the population question. What is hoped for is the establishment of German settlements in temperate climates like those of Southern Brazil. Argentina and Asia Minor. The way to colonial empire in South America is blocked by the Monroe Doctrine, but it is held that settlements like those of Rio do Sul, Parana and Santa Catharina, San Paulo and Espirito Santo are not exploded by it, and that Gcrmar.isn- can be indefinitely strengthened in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

There are also German agricultural settlements In Transcaucasia and Palestine, and the building of the Bagdad Railway has turned attention to the fertile regions of Anatolia and Mesopotamia. These are speculations of the future. The urgent need of the moment is new trade openings and fields of competition abroad; and naval extension is opening way for colonial expansion. The creation of a navy has drawn German parties together and enlisted the enthusiastic and undivided attachment of the Fatherland. There are two distinct motives for it.

One Is a legitimate desire to see the German navy brought to such efficiency that national Interests may count upon prompt and powerful $NTEREST TO fbMEN SCHOOL LUNCHEONS Health Protective Association to Start Them in Three Districts.

"The A RING -MAN Pulsing Story of Modern Politics and By CYRUS TOWNSRiND BRADY Next Sunday's Tribune support: and the other is "ambition for a largrer place in the eun." Private enterprise has been directed into industrial undertakings because so many fields of public utility have been appropriated by municipal bodies and the state. Railways, tramways.

and canal transportation, insurance, banking; and other interests have been conducted as collective enterprises for the benefit of the community, and the general effect of so much nationalization and mur.icipalization has been to make Germany more intensely industrial than it would otherwise have been. Private capital and effort have been released from a larye number of necessary economic functions and employed in Industrial activities. A considerable portion of the revenues of the various states of tbs empire is drawn from remunerative enterprises like railways and telegraphs. and from mines, forests, smelting -works, quarries, and tobacco and other manufactures. In Prussia the largest mine and mineral proprietor is the state, and there is a possibility of the nationalization of collieries on larpe scale.

The Saxon government is planning steel works for the production of rails and materials needed on the railway lines, and in Bavaria Ihere is an ambitious project for the generation and distribution of electrfc power from the water courses of the kingdom. State agricultural enterprises are common; the business of insurance agrainst fire and other losses is conducted by municipalities and states on a larpe scale, and revenues from all these sources help to lighten the burdens of direct taxation. As stato initiative has been the tradition In Germany, it has been easy to apply the principle of public ownership to modern conditions. Perhaps the most interesting chapter In this exhaustive work is that relating to tha concentration of capital and industrial enterprises. It opens with this striking; declaration from the Austrian consul in Berlin: "Never before was economic Germany so entirely under the absolute rule of a gTOup of men, bareiy fifty in number: In no former period of Industrial expansion was the.

old formula of the free play of forces abandoned to such a decree as in 1906. when the momentous decisions as to the extent of production, sales abroad, prices, the granting of credit, the raising of new capital and the fixing of wages and rates of interest lay in the hands of a few persons found at the bead of the large hanks, mammoth industrial undertakings and great cartels. The lion's Ehare of the Industrial boom has fallen to these great combinations of interests, gains have been the larger the more their industries were ruled by syndicates." Mr. Dawson continues with a close and critical study of the syndicates, showing that the movemont extends no less to finance than to industry. The provincial banks harve been absorbed by the larpre Berlin corporations, and have combined among themselves until hardly more than half a dozen institutions seriously count in the financial world.

"Three of these," he says, "work with a capital exceeding £20,000,000 each, and play an Important part in most of the great financial operations by which German industry and trade are promoted in transoceanic countries, aa well as in the combinations which are so rapidly completing the concentration of industrial capital at home." Dependence upon these masterful syndicates has steadily Increased. While the cartels have kept within the law, abuses In their operation have become flagrant, and legislative measures for regulating them may become necessary. There are Important chapters on technical education, methods of industrial conciliation, the preservation of agriculture. rural labor and Fmall holdings movements, co-operation and the German workman. The most hopeful passages and conclusions are found under the heading "The Outlook of Socialism." There has been a steady growth of a lower middle class, recruited from the ranks of labor.

Sncial legislation and the system of insurance against sickness, accident and old ape have tended to develop a wholesome feeling of conservatism among working people. The theory of pocial improvement and economic catastrophes has had to be abandoned by agitators, although they have concealed their retreat behind all sorts of phrases. They still depend upon poverty and discontent for propagandist success, fcut the comparative barrenness of their parliamentary achievements has discouraged their followers. While the Socialist demagogues have not known what they wanted, nor beon able to avoid faction feuds, the German workman has become children have pennies which they spend for candy and pickles and ice cream sandwiches, and we hem to be spent for good food instead- The problem of the child has not the pennies to la a separate one, and we do not know yet how we shall deal with It." During thse summer the association served a luncheon of milk and crackers at Vacation School No. 17.

in MBth street, and found that expenses were covered by charging two cents for three large crackers and a glass of milk. During the cold weather It is purposed to serve a bowl of aoup or a bowl of stew, with rolls and butter, for I "We found our summer luncheon was greatly appreciated." said Mrs. Trautmann.

HISTORIC LETTERS. The Scribner Exhibition of Rare Manuscripts and Books.

To those who love to collect mementos of tl.e great, there will be a strong appeal in the col eotlon of autographs, historical documents, books and manuscripts now on exhibition at Charles Scribner-s Sons, at No. 11W to 157 Fifth avenue. Two pieces In the exhibit are of equal interest to collector and historian. The first Is a collection of sixty-two letters and documents, either entirely or In the eutographs of the Popt-s, from innocent IV to Plus X. It covers all that period from 1248 to the present day.

and includes seven Bullee Issued by certain of tie Popes. Other bring the number of letters and up to seventy-five. The earliest document, on heavy aheepskln. is dated 12; and signed with the rota and benevalete of Innocent IV. This is also signed as Cardinal 3y Nicholas 111.

who became Pope in 1277. Tie collection has an autograph of Alexander VI, a rare thing outside of Italy, and there are four letters of Alexander VIII before his elevation to the Papal throne. Of equal Interest and value is a similar collection covering the history of France frcm Louis XI down to President Fallleres. bterspersed with the documents are prints of considerable value. Among the documents deserving special attention are a letter from Louise of Savoie concerning Anne de Bretagne.

the Queen of both Charles VIII and Louis XII; the autographs of the four famous mistresses of Henri VI, Gabrlelle d'Estrees, Henriette d'Entralgues, Diane d'Andouins and Charlotte de Beaune: a state paper signed by Louis XIV In his seventh year, and an autograph of Mfi-ie Antoinette as DaupMness, written only three months after her marriage, and said to be Tier earliest existing autograph. Accompanying I iis Is a letter from the Queen, written in 17fll. to the Princess de Lamballe. The four autographs of Napoleon show him successively as general, commander in chief. First Consul and Emperor.

A similar series shows Napoleon 111 before 1545, as prince President, as Emperor and then as an exile. Of the letters of the eight Presidents, perhaps the most interesting Is one written by Casimlr-Perier to the Emperor of China. The series of letters showing the history of England begins with the sign manual of Richard 111. ho seized the throne in 1483, and continues with royal documents of every succeeding reign down to of Edward VII. The signature of Henry VIII an unusual form.

A letter Mary I relates to her husband, Philip of Spate. Following it is the original proclamation of Elizabeth on the destruction of churches and church properties by too zealous reformers. One highly interesting document Is the attested statement of Sophia, "the Electress." of ber right of succession to the English throne.

To the Editor of The Sir: Having lately joined the New York Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, I should like to suggest to other women that they should go and do likewise. To those who aro not interested in the question one way or the other probably seems the very last thing that they would care, to de, but while they are doing nothing tho suffragists are doing everything, and some day we shall find woman suffrage is an accomplished fact before myriads of women have had a chance to say "But I never wanted It." By that time the Indifferent, ones will be aroused from their Indifference and will cry.

"If I had known that women were going to vote I aboWd have tried to do something to prevent it. Then it will be too late. Some Governor, convinced" by the efforts of the suffragists that they represent the majority of their sex, will have done what cannot be undone by a hundred Governors who come after him. If the practical working of the new syatem should be found to be harmful in the extreme, nothing can alter it then. It may be that woman suffrage would be good thing, but many arguments have been brought forward to prove the contrary, and there Is no such thing as trying It as an experiment.
