sorious people contend that an oligarchic Government is as good as any other gradually abdicated its rights in favour of the imperial power. The process of the thick end, the wedge following the thin one was "reversed;"" the wedge of oligarchy "narrowed down into a thinned "autocracy," which found itself wobbling in a space far too large for it. Whilst the German nation thought itself ruled by a virile monarchic principle, it was really going on in an over-increasing vacuum. But the German nation, through centuries of the oligarchic sys tem, had become accustomed to be ruled by the use of power, and it continued to expect the application of power until the end. This is why it was possible for Bismarck, that unique genius, to build up and maintain his autocratic influence for such a lang time; a thing that would have been impossible under our constitu- tional practice, as many examples show. The Germans, as a rule, produced nien excellently suited to carry out orders, and they had very few who could give them. The outward appearance of a de- mocratic country on modern lines was maintained The Ministers talked in the Reichstag and the Reichstag shook its. finger at them, but all this was on the surface, and beneath it was the tradition al expectation of the firm hand of auto- cracy to lead the country along the path of prosperity and glory.

To those who have studied closely the phases of the Russian revolution there appears to be a striking resemblanpe between the present governing organisa tion in Germany and the Russian groups whose representative was Kerensky, now the historical synonym for dismal failure to govern. One can sum up the re semblance in a phrase: lack of initiative. One cannot say that the German Govern- ment is not composed of honest, well- meaning, patriotic men.
