One of the terms to he insisted upon in
the settlement of the war j. that Belgium
must have i great indemnity for the injury
Germany inflicted upon her. 1t il almost
worth a big war to see that Justice was
done Belgium. That civilization should
stand back and quietly see thi, great
wrong would shame civilization itself. II
the world had no other interest in this
war Than to make Germany remunerat.
Belgium for the damage done her il would
be Il iutifiablc war. One of the great Gi-
lies of man T. To protect the weak against
the strong. III this j. true among indiyid-
uals il is equally true among PATTON.
There never was a more villial.ouS deed
than that Of Germany infliciing a holo-
eaust upon Belgium. IL was Il murder for
robbery. II was enough to make the whole
world join the allies.-Froyl the Ohio Stale
