GERMANY'S NEW OUTLOOK.

“KULTUR” AFTER THE WAR. Considerable interest has been aroused in Germany by an article on How we

are to order our external life in the new

Another month elapsed, passed by the dreamer within sound of the guns; and then one day, as he flung himself, tired, on the rugs in his dug out to get as much sleep as possible before an attack planned for that night the dream came to him again with extraordinary lucidity. On waking, he jotted down on a leaf of his Fifth time dreamed of pocket-book:

How is it to be done? It seems to us that the only sound way is to organise, trade by trade and industry by industry. The miscellaneous collection of a whole community is of little practical value, as the diversity of interests between one trade and another prevent effective work. The organisation which is to succeed must be a business organisation with practical aims, and a nucleus of com- mon practical interest to keep ita mem- bers together. There are many people who are even now sitting still in the vain expectation that the Government will step in and do the work That English- mea should entertain such an idea is in itself almost a sign of degeneracy. The Government will do nothing until it is forced, The only interest of the poli- cians who have captured the administra- tion is to keep themselves in office, with the least possible disturbance to the existing order of things.
