of saving civilization from destruc-
ton.
Against such a punishment as
here outlined every weak minded,
spineless, moral coward. who can be
influenced by pro-Germanism, will
protest. while every pacifist, which
is but another name for co-worker
with all OF the criminal acts OF
Germany, and every pro-German
throughout the world, would oppose
it. through politics, whenever pro-
Germanism could work its malign
influence by the power OF money or
the power of psychology or mental
suggestion or hypnotism.
Germany has proven itself to be
the blackest criminal in all human
history: its crimes have been be-
yond the power of words to ex-
press, and from the beginning the
war has been a. definite long-plan-
ned attempt to conquer and loot the
world.
Practically all Germans, from
those who sit on the throne to the
peasant, the whole German race,

with only here and there shining
exception, is guilty, and punishment
should be meted out 10 such crimi-
mails. Mercy to them would be a
crime against civilization and dis
grace to the memory of every man
who has died in the fight of civili-
zation against barbarism.
Almost Reflection on Confederacy.
1t is almost a reflection upon the
army OF the Confederacy and the
superb heroes OF that struggle to
use the utter poverty OF the South
in 1865 and the fearful losses in
Cured even for the purpose OF con-
trasting the conditions prevailing
then with those in Germany, as a
reason why Germany could bear the
burden of financial indemnity which
we have suggested. and which we
insist is only a reasonable price to
make Germany pay for its crimes.
Unpunished crime begets new
crime, and an unbeaten, unpunished
Germany would soon beget new
wars and more horrors through the
years to come. Germany should be

penalized into financial and military
weakness for at least fifty years
to come, and then its punishment
would be all too mild.
The American Defense Society
has now adopted the suggestion
first made in the Manufacturers
Record of August l that Germany
should be compelled to repudiate its
entire bonded issue and all currency
issued to pay for the war. This
would put Germany in a position
to meet the enormous indemnities
that must be imposed upon her, and
it would be a most successful way
to punish the entire people for their
part in the crime of trying to loot
the world.

tiles, for the purpose of encouraging
its people to long for chance to

Of strenuous work to create the
greatest fighting machine ever
known, it launched upon a peace

and pillage.
1t seems inconceivable to think
that there can be found any honest
hearted man or woman who could
ior moment question that justice
to the men who have died, to the
millions OF men and women who
have lived in this agony OF woe,
and to the civilization Of the future
demands a financial penalty equally
as great as that here suggested, in
addition to the penalty OF death up
on the leaders OF this fearful con-
spiracy.

ed upon Germany (and in saying

Redeemed From Poverty.
AS the South redeemed itself
from poverty to prosperity within
half a century, it would be entirely
possible for Germany to achieve as
much. Moreover, it would be a
curse to the world for Germany
not to have to suffer through long
years OF penitence and struggle for
the unspeakable crimes which it has
committed.
A prosperous Germany within the
next quarter of century would be
a blot upon civilization and would
show that civilization did not have
the moral backbone and manhood
to punish the criminal.
AS well might we open the doors
Of every penitentiary in every land

STATE FEDERATION OF LABOR.

The annual convention Of the state
Federation Of Labor will be held In Ard
more this year. being the first time
the body has met in this city since 1908.
The attendance will be large. as every
city will be represented by many diff
ferent unions delegates.
The Ardmore Labor Council, repre-
senting the various bodies Of this city.
will have charge Of the arrangements
for the convention. and instead of call
ing on the citizens to contribute to a
fund for the entertainment Of the visit
ors will issue a souvenir program. in
which the merchants and others will be
asked to take space. the proceeds being
devoted to the general expense of the
convention.
The work on this program has been
started and during the next week 1t is
anticipated that everyone will be called
upon and the book will be printed and
circulated among the unions and the
delegates to the convention.

ton financial remuneration, and
also to every man permanently III
valided in the struggle of civiliza-
tion against barbarism.
To all OF this should be added an
indemnity sufficient to restore all
property destroyed by Germany, and
to repay every dollar spent by Amer
ica and its Allies in this great strug-
gle. :.
These terms are not harsh, when
considered in the light OF the fear
ful crimes committed by GeGrmany
in this long-planned war for world
domination and world looting.
Even if every suggestion here
made should be enforced to the let
ter, the financial condition OF the
German people would be far better
than was the condition of the South
in 1865.
Within fifty years after the war
the South rose from the deNhs of
poverty from overwhelming ruin
and wreck to triumphant prosperity,
and at the end of the first half CEN
tury after the. close of the Civil
War the agricultural and manufac-
turing output OF the South and the
banking capital OF this section. and
the amount expended on public
school education. far exceeded the
total for the entire country in 1880,
though the population of the whole
country at that time exceeded by
100000 the population of the
South in 1880.
No one has charged the United
States with having dealt unfairly or
dishonesty with the conquered
South; no one ever thought that the
country should redeem the bonds
and the money issued by the South
for the carrying on of the war, and
though it seemed great hardship
upon a section stricken to desperate
poverty, as was the South, that it
should be taxed toward the payment
OF the pensions for the men who
fought against it, yet there was
never any aggressive agitation
against this hardship
The South, though it had fought |
a long and desperate war for what it
believed to be sacred constitu-
tional right. accepted the decision
OF the sword and never cringingly
struggled against bearing its burden.
South and Lee Were Noble.
The South fought its war in the
highest form OF civilized warfare,
-ypified in that superb order of Gen
,ral Lee, when he invaded Pennsyl-
,ania. in which he warned his sol
liers against any violation of the
avs of civilized warfare, and re-
luired them to protect life and pro-
'erty of non-combatants, for said :
