BY Frank n. Simonds


We should be very naive people,
indeed, quite as stupid as Won Papen
declared, if we did not understand ex-
actiy what the German campaign Of
fire and explosion in Northern France
means. The German is getting ready
to make peace, and this is his idea
of the fashion in which to prepare
for the end Of hostiities.
In German logic the situation is
this: At no distant time hostiIities
will be over and then the business Of
manufacture and trade will begin a.
gain. When this business begins the
German will once more have to COM
pete with the rest of the world. A.
mong his competitors are the manu-
facturers Of Northern France and Of
Belgium. This being the case, II is
his duty, while the power remains in
his hands, to abolish all chance of
future competition.
Against such an eventuaIity he be-
gan his preparations long ago. In the
winter of 1e14-'15 he removed all the
machinery from the great manufact-
uring centres of Lille, Roubaix and
Tourccing and transported it back to
Germany. He has continued this sys-
tematic spoIiation OF the industrial
establishments of France and Bel
GUM ever since. Now he is going
one step further and destroying the
buildings in which the machinery
originally installed and the cities in
which the industries were conducted.
The region through which the Ger
man is now retreatine Isl one of the
great industrial districts Of Europe.
Lille, Toureoing and Roubaix, prac-
ticaily constituting a single city of
over 100000 inhabitants, are the great
Industrial towns of France. Cambria,
Oouai and a score Of smaller places
now in the war news a.e similarly
bury centres Of French manufacture.
Lens, whose complete ruin has been
reported is the chief coal mining
town of Franc. Scattered about it
are the smaller villages which with
Lens, supply almost all of the coal
essential to French industry. Be-
tween these various cities and towns
run many canals, useful in the trans
portation of material.
Now the factories. the mines. the
canals are all being systematically
destroyed, together with the cities in
the district. Everything of the small
est value which could be moved has
been moved back to Germany; what
could not be moved is being ruined
or destroyed by fire and dynamite.
II is the Germans calculation that
when he has completed this work OF
systematic and deliberate destruction
GUM will be W. I'd off the map and
that it will be matter Of years be-
fore either can be restored. In these
yeard German manufactures will pro-
fit by the absence Of French and BEL
gian competition, and in this way the
burden Of the war will be transferred
from German to French and Belgian
backs.
II is essential that this whole pro-
9ramme, and it is programme,
should be fully appreciated by the
American people. When he has com.
p,eted his task Of devastation the Ger.
man experts: to make peace. He ex-
poets to be able to explain that such
ruin as has come to France and Bel.

are reported as having good reason
for insisting that next years meeting
be held in the west. either in Utah

is farthest west and the longest
distance from Washington. This was
discussed at the Conference Of Gov
