PLAN TO KEEP RUINED
YPRES FOR MEMORIAL

LONDON. January 90 british Wire
less Service) .-The decision of the Bel
gian government to maintain Epres
the scene of several battles between
the British and the Germans, in its
present condition as permanent me-
mortal is Endorsed heartily by British
press and public opinion.
"Ypres will he a memorial" says the
Westminster Gazette, lin which future
generations may learn the horrors of
war. There is nothing more impress
sive than the sight of the stricken city
with the skeletons of it's once Won
derful buildings rising gaunt into the
sky In a sense there are few things
more beautiful. To patch it up would
be impossible. Every one. therefore,
viii welcome the decision that the re-
mains of the old city shall be left in
tact instead of being cleared away.
The east abounds in the ruins of
the last vestige of once glorious civili
cations which have been oVerthrown.
fpres viii stand for centuries as a re-
minder that civilization itself cannot
be overthrown and as d monument to
a generation sacrificed in its defense"

Will Be Severely Taxed.

Il is well realized. however. that in
the payments which must be made to
Belgium and France. both territorial
and financial. Germany's resources
will be taxed to the Strainipg point.
But in addition the central powers
must make settlement for the raw
ages of their armies in Serbia, Monte
negro and Rumania. not to speak of
the western sections of Russia. There
is no disposition in any quarter to say
to Germany, I'VE realize that you cam
not pay in full for the things that you
have done, therefore the financial bur
dens placed upon you will be in ac-
cord with your immediate dilemma and
we will give you opportunity to quick
ly and easily regain your feet COM
mercially and financially. so that you
may once more imm ediately resume
your old-time position in the world.
On the other hand. European allies
are insistent that Germany be fetter-
eG and made important in so far as ever
being able to threaten the peace and
prosperity of greater portion OF
Europe as she did in 1914. Though
apparently there may not be in this
a strain of human kindness. it is
nevertheless realized that if the Ger
man people are made to understand
the error of their ways and be pre-
vented from resorting to policies fos-
tering further ACKNOWLEDGMENT the
terms of peace must make it absolute
ly certain that Germany be deprived
of such tools as she utilized in her
preparation for the world struggle
about to be officially ended by treaties
of peace

Cannot Pay Immediately.

One fact stands out predominantly:
if Germany is asked to pay imm edi-
ately all of the bills which are cer-
tain to be presented by her enemies,
Germany cannot do SO. 1t is a well
established fact that the condition of
the German treasury today is chaotic.
In fact. it is expected in Paris that
in the near future it will be necessary
for any government established in
Berlin TO abrogate a. large portion of
Germany's internal war debt. With in
tereSt on Germany's war debt exceed
ing by many millions of marks the
cost of maintaining the entire govern
ment previous to the war, it readily
may be surmised to what extent the
imposition of allied indemnities will
affect German purses even unto the
lowliest peasant in the farthermost
sections of the land.
But if the allied nations are deferred
in their imposition of extreme penal
ties for fear that they may not be col
lected owing to consequent paralysis
of Germany's economic and CONNER
cial systems Germany never will real
ize that war is bad business, an end
which every peace emissary in Paris
desires most intellectually.

Question of Collection.

There must be extreme penalties,
but their collection is a moot ques-
ton in Paris today. one which is be-
ing approached carefully by the
greatest minds sitting in judgment
upon Germany and German crimes.
There is disposition among both
French and British to impose the
penalties, no matter how great, and
permit Germany to pay as best she
can through period of years. 1t is
estimated that it will take Germany
half century under most favorable
circumstances to meet her obligations
in the present war
Already intimations have reached
allied peace emissaries from Germany
that even should the allies agree fully
on heavy penalties, they cannot force
Germany to do something which is
physically impossible. And in reply
the thought is advanced that, through
the control of German custom
houses and the exaction of certain
export and import duties, Germany
can pay and at the same time these
imposts will not prevent slow re-
sumption of German business life and
commercial order.
In other words, the European allies
are ready to give Germany a chance
10 pay her just debts to civilization.
but there is no disposition whatever
to minimize the reckoning.

Premier Romanones replied that the

tonomy in the hope that the problem
which had caused so much trouble in
Spain and had prevented progress for so
long might be solved happily. The gov
ernment he said. was absolutely deter
mined TO restore order in Barcelona.
Senior Cambo reiterated that the gov

ENGLISH LICENSES HIT
IMPORTS FROM AMERICA

Import regulations adopted by Great
Britain and effective March / include
scores of commodities hitherto OBJ
tanned largely in the United States.
The restrictions become effective in
reference 10 a number of articles July
Great Britain. the War Trade Board
announced, had adopted the restric-
lions in order to partly recoup the
trade losses she had sustained during
the war.
While England has no protective
tariff. in the sense that such tariff
is understood in the United States. by
establishing an import license system
she can more effectually protect her
against competition
with foreign concerns than by the COL
lection of heavy import duties
The War Trade Board says that the
restrictions are not to be regarded as
of a permanent nature.

PARIS, January 29.-While the
council of the great powers were to-
day giving their attention to Poland
the chief interest was conferred in a
series of private conferences, where
efforts were being made to reconcile
the rather acute issue which has
arisen over the disposition of the Ger
man colonies.
The American position has been
quite definitely and firmly stated in
favor of the Observation-Disclosures of
these colonies under the league of
nations. with mandates as trustees to
such powers as undertake. to admins
ter them. But the British dominions
which are chiefly interested in the
German colonies of the Pacific and in
South Africa are equally firm for an
nexation with full sovereignty and
without a mandate from the league
of nations.

States Presidents Belief.

president Wilson believes that all
these can be settled by separate con-
Sideration of the case of each ter
ritory. He even foresees the posi-
bility of the league having revenue
derived from constituent members
which might be spent in developing
lands which it will nominally own.
French, Italian and British colonial
opinion is that any system of interna-
tional control always has proved a
failure and always will. and that the
only right of interference. which the
league ought to assume would be the
right to call to account any power
whose government is injurious to the
interests OF the inha bitants

public opinion in their countries is
quite incapable of appreciating the
idea that administration under Presi-
