Marvelous Wave of New National

his Berlin speech a “world move-

acteristics, it yet presents the same
general features everywhere. Fromt
and foremost is the new expression
of the national spirit.

The theme is one calling for
the arts of the poet and the dramat-

chronicler of the obvious or the easily
ascertainable. America’s deep inter-

stepped on to the European stage |
with a quiet but intense assertion of |
nationality. Another people, the Hun- |
garians, not less virile and incompar- |
ably more gifted and attractive, with |
a thousand years of self-contained his-
tory behind them, have in the last two
decades taken long and irretraceable |
strides toward the same goal of con-
scious nationalism. France, barely es- |
caping a military dictatorship, has |
been stretched on the rack of the |
Dreyfus case, amid universal anguish
and abhorrence. Great Britain, ex-
panding ponderously from the Cape |
to Cairo, has fought and conquered |

a tongue strange to my ears, but a

good naturedly explained to me, “Ev-
ory nation ought to have their own

gimilar revival of the Gaelic may be
found in parts of Scotland. Indeed

Britain's Big Scare.
Great Britain as a whole, and espe-
cially England, has within the past
half decade been scared into a new
national self-consciousness. The sit-
uation looks strangely like a case of
blue funk to an outsider. John Bull
has displayed something more closely
akin to hysteria than he has been
accused of for a long time. The na-
tion has hurriedly built Dreadnoughts,
organized territorial forces, reorgan-
ized her army, created the Boy Scouts,
and is now clamoring for an airship
fleet lest Germamy should suddenly
gobble her up over night.
With Germany the new mood is co-
extensive with the reign of Emperor
William and the power of Bismarck.
It is frankly avowed imperialism.
Even the tourist may see that Ger-
many is the most efficient nation in
Europe. Its organization running
down into all departments of life, and
becoming objectionable paternalism
in many respects, is paralleled only
by the case of her pupil, Japan. Ger-
many has gone in for world-dominion,
commercia: if not political.

Whether the emperor dreams more
who can say? The observer cannot
help wondering what may be the in-
spiration and significance of the Na-
poleon cult which has such vogue in
Germany. I have watched the em-
peror as he sat for nearly four mortal
hours on horseback reviewing 20,000
of his troops, and the occasion was
ominous.

Chira’s Portentous Turnings.
The giant among nations, whose
awaking has long Leen a source of
speculation to statesmen, philosophers
and novelists, is at last unmistakably
awake and girding herself for a new
place in the history of the world. If
her incredible bulk of more than four
hundred million human beings were
mess and self-assertion has passed | to be unloosed with hostile intent up-
on America, Europe or Asia, the re-
sult would be an unparalleled ava-
lanche—a real Armageddon. Her soll
holds minerals enough to upset all the
calculations of the financial districts
of the world. Her industrial poten
tiality could turn the labor market up
side down. As a military force she
has possibility which one shrinks’
from contemplating.
Anything is possible in the China
of tomorrow, because by government '
edict, and by the impulse of the peo-
ple at large, she has definitely turned
her face toward the west and turned |
her back upon the past that made the
old China. Morever, she seems to be '
seeking the tutelage of America; and
whether the youngest of the great na-
tions shall become the teacher of the |
| oldest is of more interest and impor-
tance thgn the question of the tariff.
A Great Human Drama. |
Roughly sketched, the foregoing is |
the field to which I have addressed
myself in the present series of inves-
tigations which I am now making in |
Asla. Although I have spent several |
months in Europe, working on the!
subject, I shall confine myself to the |
oldest nations, for, alongside of the |
peoples of Asia, the antiquity of
Europe is modern. I shall deal less
with the political aspects of the case
than with the human conditions which |
go to make this wonderful waking a

It is in Asia that this new wave of
nationalism assumes the most amasz-
ing proportions. Turkey, as I sitll
show in my next article, has executed
a volte face. There are changes un-
der way there which will have un-
predictable consequences to Europe.
