ForinoRt of th year's evrnts in Utrn any was tlie proffer of peai-e by tlie I'n f.rrial Chancellor, von Bthmann-HoKwf-L-. The Chfincrllor's pppch in i in- Reich stac and his noro to Germany's tTftnios aptly summarized the view of tlo- ';.-!-nian people. In the Herman vi'-v, it is now en1 u el y a matter for the allies to decide whether they desire to make peace or e,.nijnue flphtingr. Germany wants j.Pacr but lier uiwted public opinion, l.er uncruf-hed army an I nav;, are ready in fight on. An a matter of fact. Germany today is passing through a transition peod ii her internal affairs. beeau."e the world et larse lias n so interested in purely war affairs, it has overlooked perhaps the most important movement in Germany fince lilt. That, development is the "Xeuorienl lerung" meaning' "readjustment of the nation to ibansinp: conditions." Really, it is the i;rmn Renaissance of 1915 a peaceful political revolution working so uuletly that even some Germans do not s f its developments. Repeatedly the Danes and the Dutch ard other neutrals ask "When will the revolution bepln?" believing that c'nanirin? conditions can only be brought about by force, and not being aware that the only revolution Is a renaissance or

rebirth. That rebirth is already under way. Everyone from the. Chancellor down to the laborer is playing a role. The Chancellor in the Reichstag sounded the keynote of the movement when he said: "There must, be free opportunity for all capable people." In other words, the new movement is a universal change by the people, the reichstaK and the government to give the people by franchise and through the Reichstag more of a -voice in the nation's affairs. The socialists have been saying. "AVe want more authority." And the government, instead of extending a deaf ear, is listening to all suggestions. Through the Chancellor the government is showing a spirit of willingness to get together. Thus, the X uorienierung is making such headway that from present indications Germany's rebirth will be a peaceful readjustment to new conditions. In three ways this new movement has been manifest: First, in the Reichstag: second, in the press; third, the. relations between royalty and the commoners. So far it is almost impossible to say exactly what the Reichstag is grasping for. Almo :t a year ago some radicals said that when this war came to an end the ministers must be thereafter responsible to the Reichstag but in the Xeuorientirung this has been undebated. Various propositions have been advanced in measures introduced in the Reichstag. The National Liberals asked recently for formation of a special committee to advise with the government on foreign affairs. Another member suggested a parliamentary undersecre

tary of state, responsible to the Reich

stag.

Rut even today, although the Reichstag does not name ministers, its mem

bers are consulted and privately claim

the unwritten power to make or un

make cabinet members. In regard 1o point two that dem

ocracy is making inroads in Germany i.s

evidenced in the press. Scores of times

editors have published opinions that they knew would result in confiscation

of their editions. Rut they willingly

submitted to this confiscation to pub

lish their ideas. One particularly apt

illustration of the growtli of the free.

doin for the press was indicated in the

Vossische Zeitung'a ciiticism of the

method of selecting diplomats. This

newspaper said openly that Germany's diplomats were accused of being the worst in the world and then went

ahead with specific criticisms of cer

tain dinKunatic appointments. This

was almost unheard of in Germany.

The mingling of royalty with com

moner has been exemplified on every

battle front.

Two or three instances of this kin

ship may be cited. First, a certain

count, whose wife is an American, and

who was serving as a captain, was stopped by a private soldier and asked

for a match. Before' the war such

step was utterly unheard of. Again

when the Kaiser recently met a large number of citizens in the Chancellor's

palace to discuss the food situation. Dr

Charles Mueller the only socialist of

firs holder present, was singled out by

His Maiesty for special conversation

Of the palpable, material develop

ments of the past year. Germany's

foremost achievement has been her victory over Rouraania. Her occupation of Little and Great Wallachta gives her

some of the richest farming country In

the world. Her armies swept forward

with such resistless force and with

such amazing speed that their "booty-

was an immense store -of grain, food

and other supplies. The year 1916 saw accord with Amr

ica definitely established on the sub

marine issue and has proved the ntter

failure of the allies' "starvation block

ade." This year 1917 will see harness

ing of the nation's unity through the

"man power" bill already enacted.
