Neither soldier nor civilian has permitted the appeal for peace to blind him to the frightful outrages which the retreating Hun has visited on French and Belgian cities. It seems almost incomprehensible that German leaders could think of initiating peace terms while their soldiers were applying the torch to towns and cities that had no military value for them, deporting the male population of evacuated cities to places behind the new German lines, and indulging in pillage and loot, on a wholesale scale. Scenes in the evacuated districts beggar description, correspondents telegraph. Irrational brutes could not have been guilty of greater destruction and ravages. Civilians were robbed of their belongings, and articles that could not be ransported were smashed. Fiendish destruction never was carried on with greater system and precision. The so-called efficiency of the Huns again proved how soulless and brutish it is in its last analysis. A correspondent to the New York Times quotes the following statement made to him by a civilian: "You are an English soldier. Come and see what the Germans have done in Bohain. Go round these streets and speak to our women. Go to our Town Hall, which cost great sums of money, and see how before they left they blew it up and burnt it to the ground. Go to our factories, which were filled with machinery, by which our people earned their bread before the war, and you will see that they have left nothing, not one bar of iron, not one little wheel nothing, nothing! Tell your soldiers and your people that the Germans are devils, bandits, brigands, pigs, and brutes, and tell them how they made your prisoners suffer, how they starved them so that they dropped dead as they walked." What shall we say for those persons who still believe that stern justice should not be meted out to leaders who are directly responsible for these scenes of arson, destruction and rapine? They do not understand what justice means if they be'lieve it overlooks the infliction of punishment on these evildoers. If justice implied the extenuation nd palliation of crimes that have been wittingly and purposely committed, the whole moral law would be turned topsy-turvy and the social state would offer no security for life or property. Because

justice seeks out the evil-doer and makes him pay the penalty for his transgression, it is a principle that protects and sustains. No mawkish and mushy appeal to sentiment can alter or weaken that fact. And justice must be applied to the German leaders who have ordered the atrocities of the last four years, otherwise the Allies will sin against the very principle on which the moral code rests. V'C; ' ' ' - 1 President Wilson sanctions this view. His reply to Germany sets out in unmistakable language that the kaiser, head of the conspiracy against civilization and righteousness, must abdicate or be kicked off the throne before the Allies will even consent to open preliminary peace conditions. Belief in the necessity of severe punishment for the individuals guilty of the outrages' against France and Belgium is growing. At no time since America's entrance into the war has this principle been discussed with greater avidity and relish than now, and never since the sinking of the Lusitania has public opinion been louder than now for individual punishment. The French , and English people speaking through the press, have given emphatic expression of their approval of the theory of punishment for crimes committed against civilization. If German leaders can escape personal responsibility for their guilty actions under a general pardon granted by the victorious Allies, the whole world will feel that justice has been outraged.

The Losers Should Pay in Work From the Cincinnati Enquirer. -

OTHING better la the way of a post-bellum sug

gestion has appeared than the recommendation of William Oxley Thompson, president of the

Ohio State University, now in France, that the German soldiers be employed in the work of reparation in France, Belgium and other devastated countries. "A crime confessed is but half redressed" Is a maxim that applies to nations as well as to individual persons. It will require years to free the soil of Flanders and of France of the shell and other projectiles buried in it. Reclamation of the land in Belgium flooded to prevent German occupancy is another serious task that will consume years, too. Then there are the ravaged cities to be restored and the roads, viaducts and bridges to be rebuilt. Decades will be needed in. which to erect replicas of the savagely destroyed cathedrals, shrines and universities. If there can be written into the terms of peace the requirement that the Teutonic powers shall furnish a million able-bodied men to whom shall be given the task of performing this work of repair it will be a great stroke for humanity and will introduce a new element into the art of war. If bellicose peoples are taught that in the event of making war they will be compelled, if they lose, to repair all the damage they commit, and at their own expense, they will hesitate before giving the signal for conflict. It will be only equal and exact Justice to the sufferers through German f rightfulness that, so far as it Is possible, their destructive and murderous assailants shall be made to repair the wrongs they have committed. The allied powers should keep the offenders in bondage until the restoration is complete, thus giving the French, Belgians and Italians, to say nothing of the Russians, Roumanians and Serbs, ample opportunity to devote themselves to the other necessary affairs of life.

The Pathos of Distance

' By E. T. MEREDITH. In England and France I have seen things which I wish could be burned into the conscience of every business man in the United States. I have seen factories in ruins, office buildings blown to bits, commercial districts, miles in extent, lying deserted and silent, grass growing in the streets like places of the dead everything that years, perhaps hundreds of years of patient industry had built up and passed on as a heritage from father to son all vanished. We in America have known nothing like this. We can know nothing like it. Thanks to our allies, these experiences will be kept from us. That factory of yours in New England, that mine of your neighbor's in Michigan, and that farm I own in Iowa they are

being protected today by the untold acrlf.ces of the soldiers, the business

Why then should we complain? Why should we protest that our business i3 ruined? Why should we bewail lessened profits, cavil at high prices, inconveniences, hard conditions? Why should we rage at the disaster that overtakes our business? Our business! Let me tell you something more of what "our business" means in England and France as I have 6een it. I talked with business executives past their prime, would be glad to stop a bit and rest before they die. Yet they carry on. They, like those famed old legionaries of France, "have no time to die." They battle with conditions which, in a month, a week, a day, may sweep everything out of existence. I saw a great shipbuilder a fine old Briton at his work, all three of his sons gone. At his side stood the grandfather.

In the British capital thirty thousand of them, bankers, lawyers, lords and sirs, the shopkeepers of London, men too eld, too crippled, too sick to serve at the front police the darkened city streets.

CONTRIBUTED VERSE

WILHELM'S DREAM EXPLODED The Kaiser had a vision - Of a world control one day So he started a mighty conflict While the devil was away. . He sent for bis Prussian lords His sons and to all said he We must control the entire world Also the air and sea. So he set his ball a rolling This warring kultured nun On little neutral Belgium He proceeded to train his gun While his- allies Austria-Hungary JVho with Servia had started a . ; strife ' For an unjust retribution Over the death of a prince and wife Then Turkey threw her hat in With her 'thirst for blood and gore While England, France, and Russia Were getting very sore They mobilized their armies And preparations began to make To stop this awful onslaughter With death left in its wake. .' While poor little innocent Belgium . Was being crushed by the mighty sword Their women and children . murdered and ravished ' By this kultured German hoard We sat with consternation , And in our papers read Of the awful destruction And fields Trtled high with dead. Then they staked off the seas And hung the red light And said if we did not stay at home We too would have to fight. We stood for all this treatment From this kultured Prussian skunk But the camel's back was broken When the Lusitania sunk. Said Sam, I'll lick you Willie Not just alone for that But for all your cruel deeds, You blamed old Hell cat. So he called upon his noble sons From north, south, east and west And they pledged upon their honor That they would do their best. They are fighting now on the battlefields A million men or more And Willie's getting nervous He is feeling pretty sore. For Samuel promised his boys A trip to old Berlin And the way they are pushing onward They are going to walk right in With a side trip to Potsdam. They will visit for awhile Then home again to the U. S. A. Again we'll rejoice and smile. E. Thornton Hall.

Baker Sends Appeal to U. S. Soldiers to Support Fourth Loan WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 16. Secretary Baker Tuesday sent a telegram to all divisions of the army in the country, urging the soldiers to aid in making the fourth Liberty loan drive a success. He said: "There never was a more critical time in the history of the war than this present week. Overseas, American valor and efficiency are carrying the banner of triumph and democracy with resistless force towards German soil. The ardor of the fighting line must not be cooled and the wonderful initiative and esprit of our soldiers must not be dulled by any failure to carry the fourth Liberty loan victoriously over the top. The people at home must show they are as resolute as the soldiers at the front are brave. "No influence is so potent in its stimulating effect on the people of our country as the example of the man with the colore. Let every American soldier and every American officer do his duty, not only subscribing himself, but by urging those at home to subscribe."

U. S. OPPOSED TO FOOD RAFFLES

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Oct 16. The federal food administration is opposed to any shooting match, game of chance or contest of skill that might put into the hands of persons any quantity of food stuffs for which they have no actual need. This was the substance of the reply sent tod.y to Dorsey Reed, federal food administrator for Warwick county, by Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana. Mr. Reed wrote In asking whether he should permit a shooting match and a turkey raffle, which formerly were common practices in Indiana just before Thanksgiving. Dr. Barnard says he expects his answer to Mr. Reed to serve to serve for others in the state who are warned against the official regulations which call for the increased conservation of food stuffs of every description, "of which" Dr. Barnard says, "we have absolutely none to play with or to waste."

A copy of the message was sent to General Pershing.
