my property and, if so, by what author
ity, was introduced today by Minority
Leader Lodge and, without discussion,

The proposition to destroy the Ger.

ish and extravagantly wasteful sugges-
ton, and there is absolutely no need
for it. Better sell them.to the smaller
allied countries, or neutral nations.
Belgium, Portugal, Servia, Greece and
Palestine, if given few years time,
would probably need and pay for half
of them. and some of the smaller neu-
trail countries would pay good wad OF
spot cash for the balance. In that way
millions of dollars can be raised to help
the destitute and restore the devastat-
ed regions Germany overran.

ing as it once was. The old Ro-
man culture was swept away fif-
teen hundred years ago, and cen
turtles of a common racial tradi-
ton have made the Rhineland as
Enthusiastically German as
Thuringia or Bavaria; but al
though it has long been an organ
ic part of the Prussian kingdom,
the people have artistic tastes
and intellectual gifts that are al
most unknown in other parts Of
Prussia.
The Rhine, although the Ger
mans have always claimed and
long held both banks of the river,
is the true military frontier of
Germany; that is why the victori-
Gus Allies in their terms insisted
on holding it. Except in the
north, near the Dutch border,
the Rhine is a very difficult bar
rier to force, for through a great
part of its picturesque course it
flows between steep bluffs, which
in some places become actual
mountains. Such shores COM
paratively small forces can easily
defend. The fortresses that the
Allies are to hold stand at best
crossings and control virtually
all of the roads on either side Of
the river that are practical for
military use. So long as the Al
lies hold them. they can easily
prevent a German army from
crossing to the west bank and
can easily bring across their own
troops for an invasion of Ger
many. American and British
and French soldiers are holding
them, because that is the best
possible guaranty against any at
tempt on the part of this or any
subsequent German government
to renew the war.-The Youths
