James W Gerard, former American ambassador to the German court, reflects on Kaiserism from July 23 1913 to February 4 1917. The piece is tied to his book My Four Years in Germany and carries a 1918 Public Ledger Company copyright in the United States and Canada.
The piece examines how the von Lachnows, emblematic Prussian elites, resist democracy and seek to preserve militarist privilege. It argues autocracy aims to secure internal power, expand territory, and push for a German victory while portraying eastern ambitions toward Baltic provinces and protectorates.
The author argues Germany seeks control of Russia and central Europe through war and occupation. He outlines a future where German influence expands from Bremen to Bagdad, threatens Palestine and India, and shapes Austria Hungary under Kaiserism. The piece contrasts Prussian and Austrian roles and notes rising German power among Austro-Hungarian subjects.
The archbishop of York challenged American efficiency as Prussian, but British workers under American methods produced more shells in shorter hours. The national physical laboratory will standardize British industry, aligning with American practices to boost output. Standardization spreads to autos, tires, and beehives as Britain enters a new era of production efficiency.
The piece argues Britain will transform into an efficient, well organized manufacturing nation after the war. It praises modern laboratory buildings with uniform lighting ventilation and ergonomic design to speed work. It notes that, despite concerns from the archbishop of York, workers from Britain and allied nations will adapt, inspired by previous industrial progress.
