when caught he will be punished both
for what he stole and for what he de-
stroyed.

The German army, acting under the
orders Of the German government,
stole everything it could carry away in
the invaded sections of Belgium and
France, and what It could not carry
away T. destroyed.

and wooden goods, had patrons all over
the world, and its sugar and chemical

these products.
