GERMAN INDEMNITY IDEAS.

While Germany is protesting against the "exhOr-
btant" demands made by the Allies at Versailles, it is
well to keep in mind what those Germans proposed
doing if they won as they expected to do One of the
most Illuminating bits of evidence in that line is men,

Let it be that the English punished
the Irish criminals with severity, or
even with cruelty, they dealt in the

she was as cruel as other nations-but

in llj4. and died in 1859. Henry II was

J begged Henry TO come over and take
possession of the island. Before going,
Henry consulted the pope.
Hadrian replied that ireland and the
other islands belonged to st. Peter and
the holy church, and that it would be
satisfactory to him if Henry should take
and govern the island, provided, he
would guarantee that the pope should
receive as Peters Pence-a Roman
penny (about 10 cents)--for every
house in Ireland.
Henry agreed to this, and in time Of.
fceted the conquest and occupation of
the island. He bought the goods in open
market Of the professed owner, and Ger.
tainly no one on earth had better right
to sell Ireland than had Pope Hadrsin
The English title then is clear and un.
assailable in either law or equity, and
as the Irish, through these "more than
700 years" have continued paying to
the pope, it is late to complain now.
