This Isn't War, But Bad,
and Very Bad Business

In destroying military roads, trenches
and Notifications, in their retreat from
Northern France, the Germans are justi-
fed by legitimate war necessity.
In destroying farms, farming tools, or
chards and other property of little or no
use in warfare and essential in the re-
Mobilization of peace, the Germans are
sowing seed the reaping of which will be
the whirlwind.
1t has been the declared purpose of
England to wipe out Germany.
This sentiment has not dominated the
French.
France has been fighting for self.
preservation and restoration of her LOST
provinces.
But the wanton and permanent ruin Of
her northern territory must breed in al
Frenchmen hatred so deadly that only
similar ruin of Germany can satisfy it.
1t win be bad for Germany, on the day
of settlement, when the millions o.
France demand not only indemnity bu
vengeance.
