A MIGHTY good suggestion is that OF

would have punishment tally with re-
stitution. Here it is: "That the Ger
man army, when defeated, should
not be allowed to return to Germany,
until soldiers and officers alike have
assisted In rebuild ing the devastated
region by doing the manual labor OF
reconstruction under the direction OF
the local civil and military authorities.
Would that not bring home to them
the greatness Of the wrong they have
done and give them a better chance
to expiate their crimes than the pay
ment of a mere money indemnify"
