ACCOMPLICEs IN CRIME.

New York Herald: The Manufactur.
ers' Record pays its compliments in no
uncertain terms to the persons in this
coountry who are advocating a Prussian
peace. "Weakminded degenerates, men
and women, led by Germany's lecherous
traitors to America and to civilization,

be branded now as the accomplices of
the rapists and the murderers. the IA

man forever shun and ostracize every
degenerate man or woman who under
the false cry Of peace joins in the ef.

fun penalty Of its hell-born and hell.

Those are strong words, but not too
strong. They express the sentiments
of all true Americans
We are in this war to preserve civil.
zation as we understand civilization.
For Americans there can be no peace
that does not come as the result Of the
unconditional surrender Of Germany, no
peace that does not mean the overthrow
for all time of Prussianism, no peace
that does not provide reparation as well
as restoration, no peace that does not
contain in it provisions of punishment

RESTORING DEVASTATED FRANCE.

The people OF the devastated French
territory evacuated by the Germans last
pring have been working miracles OF
restoration. According 20 enthusiastic
press correspondents the first efforts
were devoted to the trees 10 ruthlessly
destroyed by the retreating forces.
Many trees that had been girdled by
the Germans. and that would have
been killed by few days exposure to
the sun. were given first.aid treatment
10y French soldiers working under able
generals and with the assistance Of
Red Cross surgeons and ambulance driv'
ers.
One Writer describes part Of the work
thus. THE circle where the bark had
been cut away was first covered with
a special grating cement, and the en-
tire wound then bandaged up-otten
with the same bandages that had been
prepared for human limbs"
When the supply OF grating cement
was exhausted-as Il soon was-substi'
tutes were found in loamy clay, tar and
moss. The results we're more success
ful than could have been hoped. An
English writer says that the majority
of the trees could not be saved But In
a region where destruction was so vide
spread and thorough. even a few res
cued trees make not inconsiderahle
contribution toward the ultimate restor'
alton OF the whole territory.
French military authorities deserve
much praise for the prompt way In
whcho they have used their resources
to aid the neople Of the evacuated sec
tons, The Germans had left these
people no tools. no horses, nothing with

GOLDFISH THRIVE IN OPEN
Grow to Length of From Ten to Four
teen Inches When Allowed to
Live in Natural State.

Most of us are so accustomed to
seeing goldfish swimming around, APP
parently contented, in a glass bowl
that we somehow have the idea that
they would be utterly lost if they were
to be placed in pond or lake. But as
a matter of fact, writes George f.
Paul in st. Nicholas, goldfish are
just like other fish in that they enjoy
freedom. When they are allowed to
live in the natural state, they often
grow to a length of from ten to four
teen inches.
What is, perhaps, the largest gold
fish hatchery in the United States is
near Thornburg, in KeOkuk county, la.
Here several acres are covered with
ponds in which the goldfish acquire
the desired sheen and brilliancy. There
are, in all, II of these ponds, so that
the fish of different varieties and sizes
can be kept separate.
Oatmeal is the great staple in the
feeding Of these finny beauties. Every
day more than hundred pounds of it
are cooked and fed to them. When
ever they want little vegetable food,
they nibhle at the abundant MOSES.
Pure water is one of the prime ne
cessities. This has been abundantly
provided. Windmills are kept busy
pumping fresh water up from deep
wells. The frogs also do their share
in keeping the ponds free from i'm
purities. Should the water become i'm
pure, the goldfish would not acquire
such brilliant cOloring.
