GERMANY’S NEW STEP.

Ex-Judge William X. Cohen, who has left London for New Work, after a trip through Germany, is an American who has been greatly impressed by the industrial growth of the Fatherland. “One most noticeable feature in Gcrmauy,” lie said to the “Evening Standard,” “is the way in which the problems of municipal government have been solved. The order, system, and cleanliness, and the absence of squalor in the different towns are remarkable. This is due in no small measure to the prosperity of the country. ’1 lie bustle of Berlin is very like that of New York, but one can’t help observing that the whole city k. in a formative stage. The prosperity of Germany is simply stupendous; it glares at you from every side. We Americans can find some comfort in the. fact that we are no longer the newly rich of the world: that position is now occupied by the Germans. They spend money more lavishly and ostentatiously than we do. On the Continent, for instance, a cabdriver now infinitely prefers a Gentian fare to an American.”
