Rehabilitation, however, can hardl,
affect the United States, with he,
newly acquired merchant marine, he,
extended commercial interests, and
her brand new industrial pursuits, in
the same degree as it must those
countries which have been ravished
and scourged by years of warfare.
France and England have their plans
we'll enough in hand so that prelimi-
nary rehearsals of the demobiliza-
ton have taken place.
France is planning to divide the
units to be demobilized in several
groupings. For the sake of clear
ness, let US suppose for a moment
that the rehabilitation unit will, be

men.
OF these there will be about 5000
who will want nothing from the gov
eminent except honorable discharge
papers.
Second, there is a large class Of
men, probably 1000 in number, i'm
poverished by the war. These are
cobblers, storekeepeEs who sacrificed
their shops when the call to the COL
ers came, farmers whose dependents
have had to use up their little prop
erty in order to exc out living.
What France plans to do with
these men simply is this: supply each
man with the tools of the trade. the
tiny store, the small farm, or what
ever it was that he used in making
living. Wherever it is possible.
the same shop, store, farm, or what
not, is to be restored, together with
an amount of capital sufficient to
meet immediate expenses. n most
cases, so thrifty and businesslike are
these bourgeois, that at a cost to
the government Of only six or seven
francs they feel themselves
wholly rehabilitated.
Third and last is a class compris-
ing roughly 5000 men. Here are
The clerks, the skilled mechanics, the

When the stories of German atroci-
ties in Belgium first reached the
United States, many men were un-
willing to believe them. Even now,
when abundant evidence is available,
some still doubt, and even question
the fairness of persons who have
been convinced. Yet, we must face
the facts in order to keep our minds
alive to the real nature Of the con-
flict which we have entered.
To tell in detail the story of Ger
man atrocities since August, 1914,
would be long and painful task. The
evidence is open to everyone in the
reports of numerous commissions, IN
the testimony of Cardinal Mercfer OF
Belgium, of other foreigners OF undls-
puted standing, and of our own min
listers and ambassadors to the coun-
tries affected by the war. This evil
dence is supported by the diaries of
captured German soldiers and the
proclamations of German officials.
These documents have been subjected
to the closest examination by experts
trained to deal with testimony of this
kind. There can be no doubt as to
mans have tried to justify themselves
the more they have convicted them
selves by the acknowledgment OF
deeds which they can only excuse I'M
der the pretext of "self-preservauon."
1t will be enough to describe briefly
a few of the crimes committed against
unarmed citizens to show that the
spirit of a German army OF invasion
is one of ruthless cruelty and intimi-
dation.
Germany has repeatedly used I'M
armed men and women as screens to
protect her soldiers. The proof of
this comes from all the invaded coun-
tries. Cardinal MERCER testifies that,
I "At the time of the invasion of
Belgium. civilians in twenty
! places were made to take part in
, the operations of war against
I their own country. PeaceaDle
I citizens were forced to march in
! front of German regiments to
make a screen before them"
German military leaders have or
dered the burning and pillaging OF
towns and villages, sometimes because
of the acts of individuals, sometimes
in mere ruthlessness. To cite one IN
stance from the diary of an officer in
a Saxon regiment:
"The pretty little village of
Cue d. Ossus was apparently set
on fire without cause. A cyclist
fell off his machine and his rifle
went off. He Immediately said he
had been shot at. All the inhabi-
tants were burned in their homes.
hope there will be no more such
horrors"
Germany claims and practices with
out mercy the right to take prominent
citizens and hold them captive In or
der to protect herself from attack
from the civilian population. Numer
GUS proclamations of German officials
give proof beyond question. AS part
of the system of "frightfulness" these
hostages have been repeatedly ms
treated by German officials. In the
