Berlin, June 12---The Crown Prince of Germany, Frederick William, has written a preface to "Germany Under Arms," which is attracting a good deal of interested attention, in view of the fact that this young man is destined some day to rule the Ger- man empire. From the inscription on the fiy-leaf of the book, "The world resth no more securely upon the shoulders of Atlas than Germany upon its army and navy," down to the last words ot the preface of the crown prince, "If the whole German people are resolved gladly to stake life and rty, then, even though a world full of devils stand in arms against us, we shall conquer," the 'words of Frederick 'William are alive with martial spirit and show a keen appreciation of certain tendencies in 'modern society. With some unimportant omissions, the preface rung substantially as fol- 4: "Our Mthariand, more than other led to rely upon HE by | the old. soldier spirit of our fathers ly protected | hical frontiers, 'with love by all na- the sacred duty of the re to keep its army and nary aver at the highest point of readiness to strike.

Old ideals, even the repu- tation and honor of the nation, can suffer, so long as the people enjoy a period of peace in which to amass wenlth. "If 'we study history we see that the lesson of the need of warlike ef ficiency in a people runs like a red thread through its pages. Even strofnig and great nations have lost their long-maintained position in the front rank when the nurture of mili- tary virtues has given place to the jassion for easy living, and when a Rr and more efficient people, seizing its advantage, has appeared in the arena. 'And the sympathies of the civilized world still go, ds they did in antiquity, to the army that fights with dash and bravery. "Diplomatic skill can and should postpone conflicts fof. a time, and sometimes settle them. All men in Fading positions, must accept their enormous responsihility in the decid- ing- hour. They must see clearly that the gigantic conflagration, once kin- dled, cannot be extinguished easily and quickly. But as a flash of light- ning equalizes the tension between two strata' of air differently charged with electricity, so the sword is, and factor.
