CLEMENCEAU HURLS
 BITTER INVECTIVE

fill the thought and utterly defeat the force Of those who flout and mispriZe what we honor and hold dear Ger many has once more said that force and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men; the righteous and tri- force which shall make the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust"
 Germany Must Pay
 NJ Clemenceau, in the letter, also quotes from speeches delivered by Pre- mier Lloyd George, himself as premier of France and Premier Orlando Of Italy. in which it was specifically de- clared that when victory was won, compromise as to peace terms was i'm possible and just punishment should be meted out, and continues: Justice. therefore, is the only possible basis for the settlement of the accounts Of this terrible war. Justice is what the German delegation asks for and says that Germany has been promised. But it must be justice for all. There must be justice for the dead and wounded and for those who have been made orphans and bereaved, that Europe might be free from Prussian despotism. There must be justice for the peoples who now stagger under war debts, which exceed thirty billions, that lib- elty might be saved. There must be justice for those millions whose homes and lands, ships and property German savagry has spoilated and destroyed.
 That is why the allied and associ- qtad ynIUaTc hova ad that a cardinal feature, Germany must under take to make separations and amends for wrongs inflicted as this is of the essence of justice.
 That is why they insist that those individuals who are most clearly re- sponSible for German aggression and for those acts of barbarism and in humanity which have disgraced the handed over to justice, which has not been meted out to them at home
 Submit for Years
 That, too is why Germany must submit for few years to certain special disabilities and arrangements Germany has ruined the industres, the mines and the machinery of neighbor- ing countries, not during battle, but With the deliberate and calculated pur- pose of enabling her own industries to seize their markets before their in- dustries could recover from the devas- taten thus wantonly inflicted upon them.
 Germany has despoiled her neigh bors of everything she could make use of or carry away Germany has de- stroyed the shipping Of all nations or the high seas. where there was nc chance of rescue for their passengers and crews
 Tt is only justice that restitution should be made and that these wronged peoples should be. safe guarded for time even been fortified by machinery stolen from occupied territories. If these things are hard ships for Germany, they are hardship: which Germany has brought upon her self. Somebody must suffer for tht consequences of the war. Is it to b' Germany or the peoples she ha wronged?
 Not to do justice to all concerned would only leave the world open tt fresh calamities. If the German peo pie themselves, or any other nation are to be deterred from following tn footsteps of Prussia; if mankind is t be lifted out of the belief that war fo 1 selfish ends is legitimate to any state i il the old era is to be left behind, ant 1 nations, as well as individuals are t 1 be brought beneath the reign of law 1 even if there is to be early reconcilia | tion and appeasement, it will be be 1 cause those responsible for concludin the war have had the courage to SC that justice is not deflected for tn 1 sake of convenient peace.
 Welcome Change of Rule Tt is said that the German revolu ] tion ought to make a difference an ! that the German people are not re sponsble for the policy of the ruler whom they have thrown from power | The allied and associated powers rec ognize and welcome the change. represents a great hope for peace an a new European order in the future
 But it cannot affect the settlemer of the war itself. The German revo lution has stayed until the Germa armies have been defeated in the fiel and all hope of profiting by war c conquest had vanished. Throughou the war. the German people and thei representatives supported the wa voted the credits, subscribed to tn war loans, obeyed every order, how ever savage, of their government.

 with the same enthusiasm with whic
 they welcomed the outbreak of th

 was lost, that it is justice that the

 'The allied and associated power
 therefore. believe that the peace the
 have proposed is fundamentally
 peace of justice They are no less cel
 tain that it is peace of right, on u
 terms of right. There can be no dou'
