ONE YEAR OF WARFARE AS SEEN FROM VIEWPOINT OF FIGHTING NATIONS (Continued. from Paxe 1.) past year. Nothing came as a great- er shock to the Germans last year than the way in which their Kultur ‘was everywhere derided. Thé com- ments passed upon Germany for hof strong belief in her own destiny, as represented by her Kultur caused more resentment than anything else that happened in the early days of the war. The German indignation at last changed to contempt as the idea grew that the world laughed at the Teutonic Kultur because the world had been left so far behind by German progress as to be able to un- derstand the German point of view. People Satisfied. This opinion has grown as Ger- many has shown her ability to thrive on misfortunes, and to rise to heights of attainment capable of meeting | every new task imposed upon the na- tion. Each new victory on the bat- tlefield and in departments of inter- nal organization has been regarded really are the world’s super-men. as one more proof that the Germans German Kultur is now firmly believ- ed to have conquered all opposition and to'have established its promiu- ence among adverse conditions such as never before had to be encountered by the aspirations of any nation in all history. Germany has shown no spirit in the past year of revolt against her form of government. Democracy and ab- solution have been in combination against the Germzn system of a mix- ture of the two. The result is de- clared by Germans to be such as to increase the faith of the Teutonic empire in its own governmental methods. There probably will be a more equable division of electoral districts in Germany as the result of the war, and political parties may -have their representation in the Reichstag seriously altered, but Ger- many ‘is not going to duplicate the British brand of democracy. As Seen in France. By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. Paris, July 26.—*The great world- war is one year old this week.. What has France accomplished?” 3 I put this question to M. Jean | Cruppi, ‘ex-minister of Foreign Af- fairs, member of"'the Chamber .of Deputies and of the Foreign Relations commission, a man physically not very unlike Theodore Roosevelt. He replied: “France accomplished the defeat of the Germans in the battle of the Marne; she stopped the German drive for Calais and the sea; she has kept CGermany nailed to the spot for ten long months, steadily reducing her by attrition; she has done many 5 Days - Money Saving Prices - 5 Days Merchandise -That You Need dJust Now On Special Sale July 27th to 3 1st other big things, but the greatest of ferences, her unification of all classes with one, great, fixed purpose in view: Victory.” _ France to Fight to End. ““Yes,” he continued earnestly, -| “our word ‘union’ means something more than the harmony of our peo- ple; there is something of the sacred in ‘it.. This sacred union will last. France is as one man with one idea: final success, cost what it may! The war, no doubt, will be long but the courage and patience of our people will be equal to the task of seeing it through.” In short, perhaps, the greatest ac- complishments to France’s credit in the last twelve months is that she has found herself. To appreciate fully M. Cruppi's words one has but to glance back at the France of the years just preced- ing the war; France, the antithesi shoe or slipper at per cent.

Bemidji, Minn. all’ was the dropping of internal dif-| {|and heard. of Germany where collectively is the national passion; France, the nation of the individual workers and think- ers where no two people could be ex- pected to agree on any subject. In the Chamber of Deputies there are a score or more parties instead of two or three as is the case in the United States. The Dreyfus af- fair split the nation into two hostile camps and each camp into others with varying opinions. The Cail- laux case to some extent did the same thing. Talk Was Pessimistic. All manner of pessimistic talk was heard on cafe terraces and even in drawing rooms. A sad fate was in store for the land. Surely a revo: lution was. coming. Another re- storation was on the way, some said, while others declared a second Com- mune could not be averted. Treason, it seemed, was on all sides and in high places; among political leaders, = |50 it was intimated, one was as bad as another, or worse if this were pos- sible which it was not. The theater & |gave an impression that even French home life was rotten. The things one saw and heard in Paris gave one a rather gloomy feel- ing—that is if he believes all he saw One got the idea that patriotism was a lost emotion in France. Germany undoubtedly had some such idea. She expected to find France unprepared and French op- B |inion divided, a great national schism’ developing the moment there was se- rious talk of war, or a revolution af- ter the first success of the Fremch arms. But what happened? The real Erance found herself. The nation’s heart, so long hidden, was revealed, and to the last man France became a unit. As M: Cruppi remarked, ncthing has shaken this unity since. The moment the general mobiliza- tion order was posted in France all classes rallied to the tri-color. Gus- tave Herve tried to emlist. Labor became a marvel of efficiency and patriotism. Anti-militarists boosted it, considering it against what they are against—militarism. Socialists became cabinet members, one now holding a position similar to that of Lloyd-George, minister of munitions in England. It was the ‘“sacred union,” one of France’s greatest accomplishments. Instead of a revolt in the ranks, the troops dried the tears of wives, sweethearts and mothers with laugh- ter and went their way to war sing- ing. 1,300 DROWNED IN CHICAGO RIVER DISASTER; INVESTIGATION STARTS (Continued from Fage 1.j an intense feeling has been aroused against the federal authorities for permitting the Hastland to operate after having been condemned. “I was on the bridge where I could easily see the rescue work until we were chased away by the police, be- lieving that there was danger of its falling. I then joined my brother, Bernard, formerly of this city, who is connected with the .city’s electric department. His badge permitted us to go beyond the police line and we saw hundreds of bodies brought to shore and taken to the morgue in police patrols. " Suffering Was Terrible. “Mothers and fathers, crying for lost children and begging to be allow- ed to return to the hoat, were made to enter automobiles in which they were taken to hospitals where their injuries were dressed. I regret that I saw the disaster for I will never Torget the horror of it. The looks on the faces of the dead were terrible and the grief of those who had lost | relatives heart-rending. “I saw Captain Pederson approach | a workman and tell him to stop arill-! ing in the side of the hoat in the rescue work. This act nearly cost' Pederson his life for the mob would ! have attacked him had the police not interfered and his arrest followed. 1t was terrible and the entire city is in| mourning. Hundreds of young girls, | freed for a day from their tasks of | making telephones and other elec- trical apparatus, were drowned miser- ably. government officials make an explana- tion, if one is possible.” “I understand that the inspectors went on the boat and ordered many to leave because of the large crowd,” said Mr. Moore. the vessel to tip for hundreds, fear ing that they would miss the outing, rushed to the other side.
