This method Of handling, says Elec.

about 10 feet in diameter, and is com.
posed of angle-iron strips fastened in

strip projecting inward and throwing
the logs about Not only does tho
drum dispense with the labor of sew

amount Of wood which Is wasted: by re-
moving the. bark In the old way. The
labor involved In handling the logs IL

which brings them to the drum aud

Forest Of


for the crimes committed on sea and
land. She must pay for the lives and
the ships lost at sea, and she must pay
for the terrible destruction ofslives and
property she caused on land.
But how shall Germany pay7 She
has not the money now with which to
replace the ships or rebuild the French
and Belgian cities and towns or re-
place the machinery and other valu.
able property she has stolen.
But Germany has ships and prop
erty and labor, and with these she
can pay a part. Germany's ships
should be given to the neutral nations
to replace those the German U-boats
destroyed. Germany should be forced
to recompense these nations ton for
ton 10 far as her merchant marine win
accomplish that. Germany's ship yards
and German labor should be forced to
build more ships with which to replace
the merchant vessels of both neutral
and allied nations sunk by German
submarines.
German labor should be put to work
under guard Of allied troops in the
fields Of France and Of Belgium that
these fields may again be put under
cultivation. Germany has for genera
lions called her youth to the colors
for training a. soldiers, and with these
soldiers she has attempted to destroy
the freedom Of the world. Let her con-
tinue to call her youth to the colors,
bnt instead Of having guns put In
their hands let them be put behind the
plow In Belgium and France that they
may remove the unexploded shells with
which these once fertile fields are
sown. Germany IL responsible for the
condition Of these fields, and the Ger
man people should be forced to accept
the hazards OF their reclamation.
Let the German youth, paid BY Ger.
Sioux County pioneer., 1919-02-06

man money, be assigned the task of
rebuilding the destroyed cities and
towns and villages 20 fur as that can
be done. Germany was able to do
without the constructive labor OF mil
lions OF her men while they were en-
gagged In destroying these cities, towns
and villages, and now let her continue
to do without this constructive labor
while her men rebuild that which they
have SO wantonly destroyed. Ger
many's men have been satisfied to
work at the destructive trade of the
soldier for the meager pay of Ger
man soldier, and now let them be en-
ployed at constructive work In the Sec
tions they have destroyed, for the
same meager pay, and this to be paid
by Germany.
The German people have stolen from
Belgium and France much Of the ma
chinery and other valuable and port
able property they found In the invad-
cd districts. Much of the stolen ma
chinery is running today In German
factories, and with 1t the German peo-
pie are earning livelihood while the
people Of Belgium and northern France
are idle because of a lack Of oppor-
tunity. German employers are pre-
pared to reap trade harvest as soon
as they are again allowed to enter the
field Of world trade because they have
this machinery. With it they can cap
ture the markets that have been held
by the French and Belgian employers.
who have been put out of business by
the depredations of Germany.
The immediate return of this stolen
machinery and other property should
be forced. and where its return is not
possible 1t should be replaced with
equivalent machinery from German
factories, and the machinery and prop
erty destroyed should be replaced In
the same way just SO far as that 10
possible.
Force Payment for All Damage.
These methods will pay but small
part of the debt Of the Geramn peo-
pie to the world, but they will aid in
some degree in undoing what the Huns
have SO ruthlessly done. Along with
these should be money compensation
for the nations that have suffered SO
cruelty at the hands Of the German
nation and the German people. A mon
ey compensation the payment Of which
should be extended over period Of
many, many years, that not only the
present, but future generations of the
German people may learn, from the
effort that is needed to pay, that self
ish, want0n war is improbable.
Judging from the German prisoners
