A wartime analytical piece argues the 1911 1914 German crown prince governs Germany more than the Kaiser. It contrasts German leadership with France and Britain, cites Hauptmann’s The Rats as a Berlin realist critique, and laments Germany’s moral degeneracy and lack of a Pied Piper to purge its “rats.”

Cherbourg Seeks to Be Naval Base for Americans
Paris notes Cherbourg aims to be an American naval base in France for certain purposes. The port has limited freight facilities but offers advantages as a passenger port with large ships able to enter harbor day or night. In 1913 Cherbourg shipped 68,678 passengers aboard 557 vessels totaling 4,503,653 tons and may develop light freight traffic postwar. A monument project to honor the Kearsarge and Alabama battle at Cherbourg is also proposed.
