Under his dynamic leadership the Father land has advanced to front rank in the peaceful arts of commerce and trade, made herself the world's first military power, and become Britain's formid able rival for the mastery of the sea. No reign, medieval or modern, records a more inspiring story of a people's vault to af?uence and might. Wondrous and eloquent are the statistical revelations of Germany's bounding growth in population, of Imperial Berlin's rise to metropolitan splendor, of the Empire's colossal foreign trade, of the amazing expansion of national wealth, of the development of the merchant marine, of the transformation of the Navy from a ?eet of frigates into an Armada of Dreadnoughts, of triumphs countless in the realms of science, art and industry, which combine to make the German name synonymous with pro gress and power.
