left the German Army and went to fight for the country of his birth. He is again fighting, or about to fight, for England now. Were Yon Moltke alive to-day, he says, "I should feel a little anxious for the Allies. The doomed German Army ward to seeing one still finer in the is a glorious army," but he looks for future, a force in which good fellowship will take the place of overlordship. "That army will be the army of the Republic of the United States of Germany."-Daily Graphic.

KRUPP'S.

An essay an Prussianian by a British officer who had also been a German officer is unique in these days. The point of view of the anonymous author of "The Corman Army from Within" (Hodder & Stoughton, 2s. net) is here, and thore astray, perhaps as a result of blending the two military systems. We are not going to accept for a moment his broad assertion that a soldier's patriotism is the sheer THE BACKBONE OF THE GERMAN joy of the craftsman; that the soldier is not concerned with defending the sacred cause of freedom against its oppressors. Is it to experience the sheer joy of the crafteman that the flower of English manhood to-day are fighting or training to fight

But the book is extremely interesting and timely. The author declares without qualification that Prussianism must go. The group of men who have led the German Empire to its present ways are of that nate type: brilliantly intellectual and evil. Though he does not avow it, he is obviously fond of the Crown Prince, who is presented ns. the perfect. German soldier, with all his bad points and also his wonderful qualities." His personality tinged with Byronism, dash, ardour, be is the idol of the army and its loaders -not their tool, because he has shown that ho has a will of his own. The Crown Prince is at the head and front of all Anglophobia and mailedfatism; he denies to all nations the right to a soul. Beside him the Kaiser seems to cut a small figure in our officer's estimation. The Crown Prince's popularity is attributed not only to extreme boyishness and good nature, but to his continued thwarting of parental instructions. Writhing under supposed injuries, be considers what he may do next to annoy the old mau. Nor will he tolerate the financial magnates and mer chant princes with whom the Kaiser sur rounds himself. In view of these strained domestic relations, the author says:

The army is not so much a clay-footed idol, I fear, as an idol of which the head is clay,"

ARMY CURES OF WORKMEN

Furty thousand men, with 4,000 officials, make up the staff of this maze of factories and workshops in normal times. One can well believe how tho staff has been increased in these anguishing days of war, when every German, great and small, calises that the future of his Empire largely depends on the power and number of guns which Krupp's can place at the disposal of the armies of Germany and her Austrian ally. Besides this army On the very threshold of the German corps of workmen at Essen, Krupp's have allitary college which this officer entered 10,000 miners digging the earth for coal at the age of twelve, a senior cadet struck in the firm's German collieries; 15,000. him across the face with a dog chain, hands at the rolling-mills of Annen and The corporal of his room was a finished the blast-furnaces of Rheinhausen, Duis. bully whose favourite pastime it was to burg, Neuwied, and Engers; about 7,000 order the recruit to hold three large Ger-workmen at the firm's shipbuilding yard, man dictionaries under each arm, then the Germania, at Kiel; and 5,000 ore stand on tiptoe, bend his knees, and miners in Spain.

They are hurried past here and hurried past there, and finally leave with a vague sense of vastness and method, but conscious of having signally failed to penetrate into the secrets of the concern. A good example of the scorecy wherewith Krupp's manage to envelop their affairs is seen in the huge siege gun, the calipse of which rumour puts as high as 18in.. with which the Germans battered down the forts of Liége and Namar.
