Germany is thrown back upon South
America as possibly her leading non
hostile market.
But if the machinery of national
business in Allied nations has in a
large measure run down, that in Ger.
many, despite the absence Of devastat.
ing invasion, has gone still more to
general rack and ruin. Her railroads
are in worse condition than the Brit.
ish and the French. Such essential
materials as rubber have long been
lacking. Her cities, once the cleanes.,
have become the dirtiest in Europe,
and her population, while never start-
ed, has suffered more from underfeed.
ing over a long period than that OF
any other great nation in the war.
ITO all this must be added the fin
ancial condition due to the losses Of
the val All nations have piled UP
terrific debts, but to the internal debt
of Germany must now be added that
external debt which will be demanded
by her ~conquerors to repair the in
juries, the wanton injuries and devas-
tations, of German armies in the hour
of temporary victory. To pay for
these injuries Germany will have to
turn over in the next few years sums
it is impossible to calculate, but
will hardly fall very far below the

SIMONDS ON GERMANY

In the Review of Reviews, Frank
lowing to say about conditions in Ger
many:
Germany has not been devastated,
but Germany is invaded. More Ger
! man territory is now in Allied hanus
than Germany ever held in France
and almost half of it. Alsace-Lorrainse,
is permanently lost, while even larg-
or areas are either in Polish hands or
are scenes of contests between Polish
and German elements. which are
steadily growing nor bitter.
But not only is Germany invaded;
she is still blockaded. Her great
ports are as idle as they were at the
time last year. Her feet, her COM
mercial feet, is still locked up in
home or neutral ports, and it remains
a matter of doubt as to whether it
may not Immediately pass to Allied
control, and pass permanently, 10
make good the loss of Allied marine
incident to the undersea warfare of
the past four years.
Again, Germany Is deprived of all
possible chance to import those raw
materials necessary to her industry.
She cannot start her factories. even
when she has transformed them to
peace uses again. unless she gets per.
mission. To this must be added the
fact that the French have retaken the
Lorraine iron fields, stolen from them
in 1871, and will hold them hence
forth. Thus Germany loses a very i'm.
portant source of her iron supplies.
In addition the Poles are almost GER
tain to take the great coal fields of
Upper Silesia. The French may re-
take the coal districts Of the Saar,
taken from them by the Germans in
1914 and 1915.
Back of all this stands the fact
that Germany cannot expect immedi.
ately, perhaps ever. to reclaim her old
markets in countries once open to
her. The character of the war has
closed many n of trade to her
If not forever. for that important
period when she will seek TO get on
her feet again. In the same way
neither Britain nor France is likely
again to open it's ports to German
ships on the old terms, and the same

permitted Germany to compete with
their own citizens in home lands on
equal terms. This win not occur
again for at least . generation. and

In the annual report of A. p. Ryger,
dairy expert for South Dakota. pub
lished on another page of the Regis
ter, ii will be noted that about 45go
OF all cream marketed in South Da-
kota last year was sold and shipped
10 out-of-state creameries. This is a
much greater percentage than it
should be for the best interests of our
dairy industry as ii thereby contrib
utes greatly toward the building up
Of large corporations and fortunes in
other states over which this state has
no control nor derives any direct ben
etlt- The cream shipped out contained
nearly $4,000. 900 pounds of butterfat,
which represented a large amount Of
good feed that should have been re-
tanned and converted into South Dako-
Ia pork, instead of being shipped long
distances by express. at high rates of
transportation, and thus materially
adding TO the already o~verburdened
transportation facilities Of the coun-
try. Mr.. Ryger tells us that South
Dakota has ample creamery facilities
and capacity in its seventy-eight plants
to handle practically all cream pro-
duoed within its borders. The cream
producers should sell their cream to
creamerles in the state so as to re-
tain profits from ALTERNATING and
by-prodacts al home. and make il pos
sible for the home creameries, by in
creased volume OF output, to operate
mor economically n thereby be en-
abled to pay a eorrespondingly higher
price Tor butterfat. With our tremend-
Gus RESOURCES we are helping to build
up adjoining states. Why not get
busy here at home?

The guilt Of the intended culprits Is
well known. Their cases are not pre-
judged, but the evidence is so corr
plete and so clear that even what is
already known is sufficient to convict
them all. The allies are not taking
chances. They have gathered the
facts and know the evidence upon
which they rely. The presentation OF
that evidence to the world will justi-
fly the course they intend to take and
will convince posterity that the ex-
termination of the criminals is neces-

M extenuating considerations, such as
having fought for a cause believed to
be just: defending the Preside from

ished liberty. There is nothing in the
German course except brutal ambi,
ton of a decrepit and mentally de-
ranged egotist who by the accident of
birth held the power of life and death
over the people. No defense the Grim
inals can make will reduce the enor-
nifty of their crime. No explanations
will remove the inhuman barbarities
committed by their orders and with
their consent. They chose their
course deliberately. They believed
they would be the yictors and would
be accountable to none but them
selves. The immutable laws of God
could not be so violated without pay
ing the penalty by those who violated
them. Having invoked 1.-The punish
ment of civilization, the emperor and
his counselors must pay the penalty.
All this IS musty and cobwebby, it
is true. But Saturday was the first
time the purposes of the nations to
punish the culprits has taken concrete
form. There are many, especially in
America, who hoped the passing of a
few months would soften the hearts Of
the allies and remove the demands
for punishment. This policy will be
renewed. 1t is not a time for soft SEN
timent, but for stern justice. 1t is
not a time to forget the criminality
of the war, but to exterminate the
