British wounded and prisoners; General von Boehn, for the Termonde murders; Major Manteuffel, for the burning of Louvain, and Captain von Forstner. for the murder of the Falaba passengers. These are a few names of some five hundred persona who have conspicuously violated the laws of war and The Hague conventions. To them should he added the German commanders of prison camps in which British victims have been done to death. Last of all, Lenine, Trotzky, and other anarchist criminals, whom the German Government turned loose upon Russia and supplied with money and arms, must not be forgotten where justice has to be done. We find a precedent for the punishment of these men in our own history. The German named Wirz, in command of the Confederate prison at Anderson ville, who killed or connived at the death of many Union prisoners, was tried for. murder after the war was over. It was charged that he, in violation of the law of war, had put to death men who were in his custody. He was found guilty and executed. Responsibility for the horrors of the last four years rests on the German kaiser and his war lords. A punishment fitting the crime must De inflicted. Can any description of Hun outrages be more

to the point than the following press dispatch:

iVThe trenches are deep with death and

Punish the Kaiser . Irrespective of what Germany as a nation must do to satisfy the demands of the Allies, is the question of guilt that attaches to the men who were directly responsible for the outbreak of the war and ordered or sanctioned the brutalities and atrocities that marked the Hun campaign from the invasion of Belgium to the firing of the last shot at Rheims. This is a factor in the peace negotiations that the allied people will not overlook in the final reckoning. All sorts of conjectures are rife regarding the punishment and ultimate fate of the kaiser and his war lords. But in all of these expressions is found a determined and deep-seated opinion that the guilty ones must not be allowed to escape without punishment that will be more

than a deprivation of power or a curtailment of I

pleasure. Punishment that fits the crime is asked for. Long before the war broke out Germany signed the Hague conventions. The kaiser and his war lords understood their provisions. Among them were: "All necessary measures should be taken to spare as far as possible buildings devoted to religious worship, arts, science, and charity, historical monuments, and places of assembly of sick and wounded." "The honor and the rights of family, the life of individuals, and private property should be respected." "Private property shall not be confiscated." Contributions in money in occupied territory shall be levied "only for the needs of the army or of the administration of said territory." "Looting is positively forbidden." Hospital ships shall be respected. - The bombardment of undefended cities or villages is forbidden. "It is forbidden to lay submarine

mines off the coasts and ports of the enemy with

the sole object of interrupting commercial navigation." Every allied soldier, every reader of war news, every inhabitant of the territory conquered by the Germans, and the kaiser and his military advisers, know that these solemn obligations were brazenly violated by the Hun commanders. Repeated remonstrances of the Allied countries met with the same reply, "necessity knows no law." When America entered the war, she affirmed her acceptance of the principle of the Allies that it was the duty of civilized nations to put an end to the rascality and criminality of the outlaws who defied obligations which they had assumed with every other civilized nation. Now the Allies have won the war. The Germans are doomed to defeat. Shall their leaders escape unscathed and untouched? Shall they be permitted to enjoy pardon for their crimes? Hardly a person who believes in the inexorable dictates of justice, who knows that justice is as necessary in our moral code as are righteousness or forgiveness, will say, let them go free, their consciences will inflict sufficient punishment for their crimes. The sentiment found among individuals is reflected by the London Daily Mail which says editorial! v:

He's gone to that beautiful city, Where the streets are paved With pure gold; . Where God reigns forever, With mercy and love untold. God needed another soldier ' For his mighty angel band, So he called our darling Elmer To his bright eternal band.

official "eye witness" who has visited the neighborhood of Lens since the Germans withdrew from that city. Railways and tramways are torn up and are converted

into huge piles of twisted rails. Mayor Basely, of Lens, j

says that the city has been virtually leveled. The Germans blew up entire part of the town to establish their trench systems. The population of 35,000 is entirely gone, and the city is dead. Water fills the galleries of the coal mines which used to turn out 3,000,000 tons of coal a year. The national committee on war damages thus sums up the devastation: "Despite the reprobation of the world, the German war practices are constantly being accentuated and intensified. These odious proceedings have transformed hostilities into abominable brigandage, seeking above all the ruin of agriculture, industry and commerce in this country." Reports show that Roulers and Thourout have been destroyed by fire. Premier Clemenceau has written a stinging commentary on German practices in a letter to Deputy Margain, of the Marne department. He says: "All international conventions which maintained in armed conflicts traditions of loyalty and nobility have been cynically swept aside by Germany when she thought herself strongest and with hypocritical tears when she felt the shudder of defeat. German rage attacks not only human beings, throws its blight on our cities, our firesides, our sacred monuments, our arch and history and even upon the trees of our fair land. The drama of Chalons, where a German airplane bombarded the principal hospitals, killing fifty-four persons and wounding forty, manifested again the enemy's rage and savagery. "Taken by the throat and driven backward, he still seeks to vent his hate upon the country from which our soldiers drive him foot by foot. But the blood, ruin and incendiarism which he is leaving behind will have retribution of which he will soon feel the weight."

F the German war conspirators get nothing more out

of their latest peace dodge they will at least learn

what the civilized world thinks about them. Here is

the London press calling the kaiser and his outfit criminals and demanding their surrender to the Allies to be tried for their crimes. There is much to be said in favor of that method of making their crimes repugnant to future German statesmanship. These conspirators plotted a war for conquest and loot. They have murdered, burned and pillaged, bribed and lied; and now that all their weapons from frightfulnes3 to deceit have failed them they are expecting to be negotiated with as honorable enemies. They expect to be permitted to sign a treaty and to have fhe same good faith accorded them as if they had not broken all treaties and violated all gocd faith. To treat with such criminals would be to condone their crimes. They must be punished and a mark put upon them for all generations to see. The Allies cannot make peace with outlaws. Rather the Allies must judge them and punish them for a sign. The kaiser and his gang broke bounds, defied all laws, ran amuck through

hold that they are not responsible to the German people. That is the theory upon which they have sat in their high Places and ruled. But they are responsible to justice, and the Allied nations are the ministers of justice in this war which is to end the rule of their kind in the world.

My husband had been coughing for about four years, summer and winter, and now he is cured of it, and for my child, I think there is nothing better in the world for a cold, for it helps at once!"

Pasturing Alfalfa

By J. C. KLINE, County Agent Many farmers have secured excellent stands of alfalfa since the season has been almost ideal for starting this crop. Pasturing or cutting alfalfa this late in the season is not recommended, since it needs a good growth for protection during the winter. The writer has seen many fields of alfalfa ruined on account of allowing the stock to eat it off down , to the ground. Keep the stock off. An extra growth will do the land good and insure the crop against winter killing.
