GERMAN TRADE v
AFTER THE WAR
Two Boohs That Should Be
Read by All Interested in
American Commerce
Unless the great commercial nntlons
arc awake trf the peril, Germany, al
though defeated In the field, will ulti
mately win the commercial dominance
of tho world, to nehloe which was one
of the pVposcs of the" war. How she
got her grip on International commerce
and what her plans are to acquire It
ones mora hao been set forth with
clearness and precision In two books,
one by a professor lh a French univer
sity and l ho other by a German con
sulting engineer. These bonks should be
rend by every American mtinufacturer,
nnd by ocry other American who wishes
to be Informed on the lusues whlchSvllt
press for solution when pence Is made.
Tho first book, "Germany's Commer
cial Grip on the World," Is u thorough
analysis of the methods used In foisting
German goods on foreign markets, meth
ods that Invoked Imltntlon. fraud, cor
ruption nnd commercial espionage, as
well as a combination of banking and
underwriting speculative enterprises re
pugnant to the best principles of sound
finance. Professor Hauscr, who writes
the book, tells us thnt German produc
tion had expanded to such an extent that
she had a surplus of 60 to TO per cent,
which she must sell abroad, nnd' that
this surplus was increasing because of
the perfection of her economic-machinery.
He says that the war was started
In order to win by conquest German
markets for this surplus. Whether we
accept this lew as a full explanation
or not, thcic Is no doubt that It sets
forth one of the motives of the war
party. Peace will find the Germans still
in the need of foreign markets, and
tho sjstcm which expanded German
(rade before the war will be adopted
when arms are laid down. The rest of
the world must be prepared to meet
this competition, not by the adoption of
:ho abhorrent German methods, but by
producing bettor goods than Germany
produces and by being able to distribute
them moro cheaply and more quickly. A
bojeott on Germany, according to Pro
fessor Haiiser, will not solve the prob
lem, for Germany will find ways to out
wit? the boycotters.
How they .arc to bo outwitted Is ex
plained In "The Future of German in
dustrial Kxports," by S. Herzog, a book
published for circulation In Germany
alone. A copy of It was smuggled out
of that country Jy an American Mcret
t.erlce agent and translated into Kng
Ush. Mr. Herzog wrote under the as
sumption that Germany was to be lc
torlous. Accordingly, he proposes to meet
the objection to Gel man-made goods In
the countries which hae beep fighting
Germany by ordering that no nation may
require goods) entering its markets to
ba stamped with tho country of origin
In this way the German goods could
bo made to masquerade as the piodueW
ol neutral countries In which complacent
agents could be found who would act as
middlemen In shipping them to the for-
I mcr enemy countries. In the enemy
countries, he says, men count be round
who would handle the goods for a con
sideration, and that the home Go em
inent should recompense the manufac
turer for any loss that might be In
oled In the bribery necessary to carry
out the plan When hostility to Ger
many jdled down the goods could be
shipped directly from the factory to the
foreign market. The plan which he pro
poses is only a continuation and elabo
ration of tho plan which Germany has
been following for years. It Is based
nn dishonor and on the assumption that
eory man has his price. Unless the
great mass of American business men
understand what Germany proposed to
do nnd take steps to prevent her, Klie
will succeed. So they cannot be urged
too earnestly to Inform themselves.

Dr. Conwell on Soldiers
In the last analysis It Is ns an Inspher
that Dr. Russell H. Conwell has en
deared himself to so many thousands of
Americans. It Is a wonderful Rift, this
ability to urjro others on to helRhtB they
have never dreamed of; and In its pos
session the eminent Phlladelphlun Is
rich. Indeed. Never content to remain
In Idleness, ho has added one more to
tilt many services rendered to young
Americans, this time' In tho form of an
Inspiriting volume for the encourage
ment of the young men now serving our
country. In the friendliest manner,
ppeaklng from his own personal experi
ences gained during tho Civil War, and
supported by the experiences of many
other men which ho cites, Doctor Con
well tells ''How a Soldier May Succeed
After th6 War." He urges tho men In
the, ranks not to fritter away their leis
ure hours, but rather through study to
prepare themselves for their second
great struggle, that In civil llfo after the
war. In Doctor Conwcll's own words
his book Is "based upon that best of nil
arguments facts ; for lKls based upon
the writer's personal knowledge of what
t-oldlers, by study while in serlce, hac
actually achieved."

Interned in Germany

perience similar to that dewrlbed by
Henry C Mnhoney; In "Interned In Or.

In number, were of every grade, from
the millionaire to tho pauper, lesldents
nnd tourists, nnd all were treated alike.
The brighter sldo of the account of
his experience Is tho description of the
various ways In which. the tlmo was
passed to make life bearable. "An au
tononioun government" was established,
In which he served as a pclico officer,
nnd says, "I certainly derived distinct
pleasure from serving." A Church of
Rnglnnd service was held on: Sundays
nnd "thrled nnd grew amazingly, The
most Impressive success was education.
in evew nem o: wnicn experts were
round, and elapses wero kept "going at
full pressure from early morning until
lata at night."
The dark side of their llfo is almost
Inconceivable, They were herded and
treated like cattle. They had little
food, and It was often almost un
eatable. "The sanitary conditions were
ghastly," nnd "only tho incessant, ham
mering of the American Amhasador
brought about nny Impiuvemtnt." There
was only ono "split In the camp," the
presence or three or four hundred Kng
llsh residents, who, "Instead of being
compatriots, were n race apart; they
wero Germans in everything but birth
and names " They even celebrated the
anniversary of the sinking of tho Lusi
tania, A remarkable fact, "bearing in
mind the cosmopolitan character of the
four or fivo thousand prisoners, drawn
from every conceivable class of society,"
is that "crime was unknown in Ituhle
ben." We may, on the whole, readily
believe his statement that had "the at
mosphere within the bai racks been less
reminiscent of a sewer, life tn Ttuhleben
would have been comparatively tiappy,"

The Farce of the Reichstag
If any tmc wishes to know what the
Herman Helchstag Is like, he should read
tho book about It which the Abbe T3.
Wettcrle, who occupied a seat in it for
Alsace for sixteen years, has written.
It Is the mere creature of the Cen
tral C5ocrnment, according to the abbe.
There are n lot of parties In it, but
the members of the parties hae nothing
to say about what Is done. The party
organization Is military, for the leaders
Issue orders and the members obey.
And the lenders dicker with the Chan
cellor and agree on a course of action.
When u bill Is Introduced there Is a
gie.it bluster of opposition, hi order to
clinte the Impression that the Kelchstng
really amounts to something. But all
the members know that this bluster Is
merely play-acting, as it has been ar
ranged that the bill Is to go through,
ami It docs go through on thlrd-rcidlng
ns smoothly as though the members
had not tried to act ns if they had
something to say about Its fate. The
farce of tho whole proceeding Is recog
nized. The rules of the body proildc
for debate mi one day a week on bills
that have alrejdv been passed, in order
to let the men who wanted to speak
hao an opportunity to air their ilfcws.
These speeches made when the bill Is
a law have just as much effect on Its
fate as the speeches made while It was
awaiting third reading.
The nbbe's book is valuable nlso just
now because of jthe estimates of the
parllamentnry leadirs which It contains,
leaders whA arc now active In its coun
sels. Several pages are given to I2rz
berger, the Center leader, who haB a
scat in Prince Maximilian's new cabinet.
He began his political career as n rabid
antl-clerlcal, but he turned his coat ofer
night because he thought the prospects
of getting on were better with the- cleri
cals than opposed to them. -No book
has appeared which reveals tho farce of
Herman parliamentarism moie com
pletely. IICIIIND THE SCENES IN THE P.EIOHS.

Secretary Baker Abroad
It must be admitted that the proper
ncrson to recount the details of Sccre
'aiy Baker's'vlslt to Franco is his own
pi Ivato secretary who accompanied him
on his first trip to the front. Ralph
A. Hayes, that selfsame secretary, re

and now writes from the wealth of
notes he assemblea during that jour
ney which had, as Its very fruitful out
comethe incorporation, at a moment of
grave import, of the American troops In
Kranco Into the strategic reserve of the
Allies and the appointment of Ceneial
Foch as commander-in-chief of all Allied
i roops.
The author records the tedious de
tails of Secretary Baker's journey with
untiring faithfulness, employing a en
that lightens his own task as well as
the reader's. And that it needs light
ening is indicated b'y Mr. Baker's sched
ule for a slnglo clay, which comprised
