all chambers of commerce have
been asked to give all possible
information with regard "a
srorehouses, sheds, etc, which
could be used temporarily to
warehouse the spoil. z (From
the Frankfurter Zeitung, Jan
uary, I91S.)
The German papers have
been crowded with advertise
lments of sale of property taken
from France and Belgium.
Members of the Reichstag have
boasted of, others have cen
Isured, the amount of booty
brought to Germany from the
occupied territory, and the de-
|struction has been far greater
than the confiscation.
OF the old men and children
murdered, of the women and
girls ravished, of the noncom-
batants taken from their homes
and deported to work for their
conquerors, of the merchant
ships sunk and passengers and
crews murdered, of the hospi-
tai ships sunk, the hospitals and
unfortified cities bombed, of
the mutilation and murder by
crucifixion and otherwise of
wounded and captured soldiers
of all this beastliness there is
plenty of evidence, evidence
that no one can disbelieve.
The best answer to German
peace propaganda is sinking
more U-boats, sending more
men to France, speeding up our
work along every liney and a
heavy subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan. Peace
must mean the triumph of right
and justice, the defeat of Ger
manism, not a truce with it, not
compromise with it.
Our soldiers in France are
gloriously doing their part
toward victory; the Liberty
Loan subscription must show
them that the people at home
are doing theirs.
