PROGRESS OF EMPIRE.
passim; of th k imperial era. an interK-T!NG view. (United Press Association—Copyright.} (Received Julv 23. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. July 23. .Professor Geddes. in an address at King's College on Progress, said that though we were at war. we were now passing out of an imperial and financial era into a new stage with new ideals. The imnerial age was entirely unproductive. Under it the British Empire might fie said to exist for the purpose of advertising the _ Strand, while the German Empire, existed for tlie convenience of Berlin as an unproductive city. Berlin and London mi gilt go to war, but war was thinkable between Hamburg and Newcastle. The imperial era was also the period of the creation of suc-h loot heaps as the British Museum and the South Kensington Museum, where the loot was deposited in disordered heaps. All these were the elements of sham culture.
