Germany at the World's Fair has won for herself a place of dominating Not only has she as prominence. enabled a marvelously rich and varied collection of exhibits to illustrate her activity In every department of human enterprise, but she has grouped and displayed these with consummate abiland lavish disregard of cost. The ity old-timethod of having a stragrepresentgling array of show-casing the work of individual firms has been resolutely discarded by the German commissioners. They have taken It as their true mission to exhibit the Industrial of Germany the nation, and to this patriotic end the merely personal Interests of those contributing to the representations have been subordinated. The effect la massive, the impression made upon the sightseer inths result a stant and general advertisement for German industries that, after all, cannot fall to operate for the benefit of each Individ uni who has played the unselfish part of submerging self for the glory of the Fatherland. Collectivity Is the secret of Germany's magnificent triumph at St Louis, and the lesson la one that will be taken to heart by other nations at any future International exposition. In each and faery world's fair palace the noble pavilions erected by Germany ns ths distinctive setting for her exhibits attract the eye by the boldness of design, the elaborate yet always artistic decoration, the unity of purpose revealed aa the keynote of the display When the threshold is passed, the visitor is further impressed with the evidences everywhere around him that hers the brain of a mighty nation has been at wefrk, that the task of making a grand and striking picture has not been left for completion piece-me- al by individuals, but that the government Itself baa accepted full responsibility and discharged the duty for all. By way of example, let us take our stand In the central hall of the German section in the Palace of Varied Industries. We can readily imagine ourselves in the castle of a king the approach to the vestibules beyond a marble stairway, around us rich tapestries and palntingn, statuary, atnlned glass, costly and artistic furniture, In a word, all the dignified accessories that make us feel we are in some great presence, in some right royal home. And so in all truth we are, for here are enshrined the choicest specimens of Germany's artistic handicrafts. None can pass through the suites of ly magnificent rooms, each 'more fitted and furnished than the other, without realizing the masterfulness of the German character the the highest strength that turns even No dwelling art to practical purposes. place for show thin, with tables too fragile to leaft upon or chairs too exquisite for nsa. The library Is a libraryor where a man feels Impelled to rend to write, the mule room a place where. In the intervals of listening to the harmonies of Mendelssohn or Beethoven, we might conceivably enjoy a romp with the babies on the floor. But yet what a revelation of harmonious beauty is each apartmer jvhat an achievement of taste and culture is this entire German home! .Nothing In the whole Worlds Fair has more effectively captured the popular imagination, and the court has become one of the moot thronged attractions. But after broad effects have been grasped, let attention be turned to the details.

It is perhaps such such comparatively little things that tha regenius of the German nation in vealed. All the world already known a eout her mammoth engineering shops, her mines, and her mills. But the subtle delicacy of her art art, be It noted, always with some useful purpose behind it comes somewhat ns a surprise. Elegance and national decadence hare been associated ideas in most men's minds from the days of ancient Greece and Roma. Yet here at Bt. Louis Germany proves to us that the strong and the powerful nation, in her grip of the great basic industries, need not lose bold of life's daintiest refinements. We have mentioned only one of Germanys dozen courts at' the Worlds Fair, but all the others have just the tine wealth of Interest and of suggestion. To make the grand tour, to inspect each In detail, is a liberal education. And then,' to crown the days of tudy, visits must be paid to the Peirce of Art and to the German building close by. In the former are gathered of together Germanys masterpieceslatter contemporary painting. In the we see everywhere the touch of the imperial hand, in thought if not in not For the rooms are filled with treasures from the emperor's homes things of Interest, of beauty, and of value far beyond estimate.

For a long time the Federalist members of congress had been holding to dlsruss pending legislation and to unite upon a policy. Hamilton saw In this esuetts a club to defeat Adams and avoid what he regarded as tbe car liunlty of Jefferson.
