EPUB

he said, and a university and a technical institute had been opened at Warsaw. "Never in history, when millions of men were opposed in a fight for life and death, has so much peaceful work been accomplished behind the front." At the conclusion of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg's address, the non-Socialist parties of the Reichstag united in declaring their satisfaction and in proclaiming that "in complete unity, with calm determination, and with confidence in God, we await the hour which will make possible peace negotiations whereby the military, economic, financial, and political interests of Germany will be permanently assured, to the most complete extent, and by all measures, including such annexations of territory as may be necessary for this purpose." The annexationist spirit, which had gradually increased in intensity and in popularity during the year, in December was seen to dominate the Reichstag. The only dissenting voice came from the Socialist benches, where a small but determined minority opposed "all schemes of conquest," and where the majority, while willing to vote war credits, and unwilling to permit France to regain AlsaceLorraine, might be counted upon to offer some remonstrance against the annexation of Belgium and Northern France. (For a discussion of the Socialists' attitude, consult SOCIALISM.)

THE FINANCIAL BURDEN. During the December session of the Reichstag, Dr. Helfferich again demanded a new war credit of 10,000,000,000 marks, and obtained the authorization of the Reichstag for the issue of a new loan to cover the amount. Dr. Helfferich characterized the German plan of financing the war as a policy "based on sober and cool consideration of all the facts, and particularly on the demand that the productive energy of the German nation shall be maintained as efficiently as possible during the war." He warned the Reichstag, however, that a time was coming when German capital would be invited not to invest in 5 per cent loans, but to pay heavy war taxes. Regardless of the amount of the war indemnity, the war would bring in its train a "colossal" tax burden, which the German people would have to bear by increased taxation. One feature of the new taxes, foreshadowed by the secretary of the treasury, would be the taxation of war profits; and companies doing a war business would be required to lay aside 50 per cent of their war profits in preparation for the tax that would follow the conclusion of peace. The statements of Dr. Helfferich did not wholly satisfy the Socialists. In the Reichstag, and in their party organ, Vorwaerts (which, by the way, had been suppressed more than once for its criticism of the government), the SocialDemocrats pointed out the gravity of the financial situation. Where, they asked, was Germany going to obtain the revenue sufficient to meet the annual interest, amounting to two billion marks, on the war debt of forty billions? Certainly the ordinary revenues and the income from customs duties would be insufficient. The inference was of course that taxes on large incomes and fortunes should be introduced to fill the gap.

THE POLES AND DANES IN PRUSSIA. The budget debates in the Prussian Diet gave rise on March 9th to a most interesting expression of the attitude of the Poles and the Danes in Prussia. In behalf of the Poles, Dr. von

Tramczynski declared, "For more than 30 years the government and the majority of the Landtag have regarded the Polish population as an enemy within the state, and have sought to cripple the free development of our national individuality by means of exceptional laws and administrative measures. More than 12,000,000 marks, towards which we have been forced to contribute in taxes, have been expended by the state for the suppression of our nationality. To fight against these efforts was our duty and our right. But although now as hitherto we are decided to defend our nationality to the last breath, we have never abandoned legal methods, and have always fulfilled our duties as citizens. We have voted all the war credits here and in the Reichstag. On the battle fields more Polish blood has been shed for the state than the size of the Polish population would give reason to expect." In return the Poles had expected no longer to be treated as enemies. "In particular we had expected that the government would at least concede the suspension of the Expropriation Law and the Settlement Prohibition, as well as the reintroduction of Polish popular education. Nothing of the sort happened. The government has contented itself with holding out vague suggestions of a future alteration of conditions. Even this year's budget contains all the appropriations destined for the oppression of the Polish nationality. We protest against this treatment." On these grounds the Poles voted against the Prussian budget. Next, Deputy Nissen, a Dane, reminded the House that the Danes had always fulfilled the duties of citizenship, although they had been unjustly accused of many disloyal acts. In this war, "they have bled by thousands on the battlefields in the east and in the west. But even during the war, the exceptional treatment of the Danish population is continued, in absolute contradiction to the Emperor's declaration that there were no longer any parties in the land. The budget contains many items for combating the Danes in North Schleswig, and therefore it is impossible for us to vote the budget." The Social Democrats joined with the Danes and Poles in opposing the budget, and demanded that democratic franchise and the right of free combination be granted to the masses. In the final vote on the budget, the Socialists alone voted contra, while the Danes and Poles abstained.

THE SOCIALISTS IN THE PRUSSIAN DIET. A disquieting feature of the Prussian Landtag session in June was the anti-war attitude taken by the Socialists. The House of Deputies was thrown into an uproar when Herr Braun, the Socialist floor leader, proclaimed his belief that "it would be a calamity for Germany" to carry the ideas of annexation and conquest which had been gaining ground, under the encouragement of selfish interests and short-sighted political parties. "The German nation wants no conquests and no annexations," he asserted, "it wants peace, and a peace which neither humiliates nor violates other nations." At the same session Herr Liebknecht cried out: "We have the masses with us and the masses want peace." High prices, the selfishness of Prussian landlords, and the criminal greed of food speculators receive their due share of denunciation from the Prussian Socialists.

THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN PRUSSIA. Be

fore terminating its session in June the Prussian Diet found time to discuss the grave economic problems which the war had created. Reports were made on various phases of the economic situation, and in accordance with the recommendations of the special committee which had investigated the matter, a series of measures were approved for the more efficient conservation of the kingdom's resources. The War Grain Company, which had hitherto controlled the purchase of food supplies, was now to be dissolved and a central committee instituted, representing consumers and producers; the committee would assume control of the purchase of provisions, acting in close harmony with and in subordination to the Imperial government. In harvesting the next year's crop, it was anticipated that the labor of prisoners of war would be of valuable assistance. As regards the industrial situation, Herr Hirsch of Essen reported that since the outbreak of war the production of crude iron had increased by about 1,000,000 tons a month and the output of manufactured steel and iron had been doubled. This increase had been largely absorbed by the enor mous demands of the munitions factories. In regard to Germany's economic future, Herr Hirsch displayed the cheeriest optimism. Germany had withstood the shock of the interruption of her raw material supplies, and she would emerge from the war stronger and more prosperous than ever before.

BAVARIA. King Ludwig of Bavaria made a very important speech June 7th before the meeting of a Canal Association at Fuerth. The passage in which the King advocated the annexation of new territory at the conclusion of the war was widely quoted by the annexationist party in Germany. "When the war began," said King Ludwig, "we assured ourselves that it would be a war of short duration. But events shaped themselves differently. Upon the war declaration by Russia followed the declaration of war by France, and when in addition the English fell upon us, I said I rejoice thereat, and I rejoice for this reason, that now we can hope-and this especially concerns the Canal Association-that ultimately we may assure for South and West Germany more favorable connections with the sea. Ten months have elapsed since then. Much precious blood has been shed. But it shall not have been shed in vain. A strengthening of the German Empire and the extension of its frontiers as far as is necessary to insure us against future wars, that shall be the fruit of this war."

OTHER EVENTS. A university was chartered August 1st, at Frankfort on the Main. The university included faculties of medicine, philosophy, natural science, and social science, and numbered on its teaching staff 49 professors, 13 assistant professors, and 18 docents. In December it was estimated that during the first eight months of the year, 186 counts, 456 barons, 592 members of the old nobility, and 552 members of the newer nobility had been killed in the war. Nine princes had been slain in the war, including Maximilian of Hesse, Friedrich Wilhelm zur Lippe, Friedrich of Saxe-Meiningen, Ernst of Saxe-Meiningen, Ernst zur Lippe, Otto Victor of Schönburg-Waldenburg, Wilhelm zu Schönaich-Carolath, Wolrad zu Waldeck und Pyrmont, and Henry XLVI of Reuss.

CHANGES IN WAR STAFF. General von Fal

kenhayn resigned his post as minister of war January 21st, but continued as chief of staff. As war minister he was succeeded by MajorGeneral von Hohenborn. In February, Admiral von Pohl, chief of the Admiralty Staff, succeeded Admiral von Ingenohl in command of the German battle fleet.

GERVILLE-RÉACHE, JEANNE (MRS. GEORGE G. RAMBAUD). A French opera singer, died Jan. 5, 1915. She was born in 1882, in the Basque province, and she studied music in Paris. In 1899 she came to the notice of Mme. Emma Calve who advised her to study for the operatic stage. At 18 she became a pupil of Mme. Pauline Viardot-Garcia. Not long after she appeared at the Opéra Comique, where she sang in the opera Orpheus and Eurydice. She sang with great success in various operas in Paris until 1907, when she was engaged by Oscar Hammerstein to sing at the Manhattan Opera House, and there she continued until 1910. During this period she created the part of Clytemnestra in Strauss's Electra. While at the Manhattan Opera House she also sang in Carmen, Pelleas and Melisande, La Navarraise, and Samson and Delilah. She later joined the Dippel Opera Company, singing in Chicago, Philadelphia, and at the Manhattan Opera House. She also made a concert tour through the United States in 1909. She married Dr. George Gibier Rambaud, director of the Pasteur Institute in New York City.

GIBRALTAR. A narrow peninsula extending southward from the southwest coast of Spain; a British crown colony, naval and coaling station, and entrepôt of the British trade with the Barbary States. Area, 1% square miles; population, exclusive of the military, 18,448 in 1912. Practically a free port, it has no trade returns. Revenue (1913), £104,634; expenditure, £82,077; total tonnage entered and cleared, 12,476,079 (7,416,875 British). The customs revenue in 1913 was £46,624. The Rock of Gibraltar (Mons Calpe) was captured by the British in 1704 from the Spanish kingdom of Granada, and in 1713 was formally ceded by the terms of the treaty of Utrecht.

GIFTS AND BEQUESTS. The gifts and bequests made for various purposes in 1915 show a falling off in amount as compared with 1914. This decrease was to be expected on account of the immense sums which were contributed to various foreign relief funds. Adding such contributions, it is probable that more actual money was given away in 1915 than ever before. The total amount thus given could not have been less than $300,000,000. Outside of money given for war relief and kindred purposes the total for 1915 amounted to $146,682,930, compared with $318,599,482 in 1914, and $199,841,442 in 1913. These sums take into account only donations of a public character. If there should be added all those privately given, the total would have been more. are identified as follows: To charities of various kinds $79,861,329; to educational institutions $35,354,338; to religious organizations $17,611,862; to art museums, galleries, and various municipal institutions $12,939,401; and to libraries $916,000.
