By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

In August. 1914, the city Of Lens In
northern France was a prosperous
community of close to $1,000 people. 1t
was known as the Pittsburgh Of
France, and Its coal fields were the
one great source Of supply Of fuel for
the nation. Its steel and iron mills
supplied much Of the material for
French railroads, shipbuilding and
other industries. Its people were In
dustrious and thrifty. living in com
Portable homes, surrounded BY the
modest luxuries Of an industrial COM
munity.
All that Is left of Lens today Is a
crumbllng pile Of debris. No single
wall Of the city is still standing, and
hardly a piece Of wall as much as
ten feet square can be seen amid the
terrible ruins. Both the buildings
and the machinery Of its factories are
gone completely. Its coal mines are
flooded and the machinery with which
they were operated has been destroyed.
And all this because Germany start
ed war for the purpose Of conquest |;
war in which no principle other than
that Of selfishness was involved. To-
day Germany is crushed nation. Her
plans for world domination miscarried,
her armies have been defeated, but
before these things happened the city
Of Lens had been destroyed.

and | thought. who shall pay for this
devastation, this misery?
There Is But One Answer.
Are the broken. homeless people OF
Lens to pay? Are the people Of France
to pay? Are the people of England or
America or Belgium to pay? Or are
the Germans to pay?
To be sure, the city Of Lens was de-
stroyed by shells fired largely from
British guns. But they were fired into
the city because the invading Ger
mans in the city must be driven
out that not only France. but the
world, might be freed of the menace
Of German domination; and the debris
that once was Lens stands today as
a striking monument to German greed
and to the accuracy and efficiency of
British artillery.

pay, and she must continue to pay

others like It, have been restored ;

hell OF German wantonness and selfish
ness was let loose in 1914.
What happened In Lens has hap
pened in many other cities and towns
In France, In Belgium. In Italy. In
Serbia. in Roumania. In Poland, and
for all Of them Germany and her al
lies should pay, and pay. and pay.
Cruel Fate Of Ypres.
Another example Of the hellishness
Of this German war Of conquest Is seen
In what was once the beautiful and
historic city Of Ypres. In Belgium.
This town Is today but one mass of
ruins. Its wonderful Cloth Hall and
st. Martins church, both considered
among the marvels Of Europe and both
dating back to the thirteenth century.

they can be made to pay for them 80
far as dollars can pay.
And with the passing OF this city
there passed away many thousand
lives Of British soldiers who today lie
buried around the place they SO brave
" defended. One possibly better re-
alIzes here the terrors Of this war tnan
at any other one spot. Here the Ger
mans held the hills to the east OF the
city. and the British defenders ocfn-
pied the low-lying fields betweea ae
hills and the city. For them dugNdts
or deep trenches were out OF the ques-
tion as the land Is but little above
sea level. And here, In what is almost
marsh, the British Tommies lay
month after month, through winter and
summer, a fair target for the Boone
guns on the nearby hills.
When was In Ypres late In Octo-
Der, many of the people to whom It
had been home. were there digging
hopelessly In the rubbish In a vain ef-
fort to find some small thing that could
be associated with. the homes that the
Germans had destroyed In their eaort
to secure world domination By q war
of conquest.
City o. WaIIs Only.
The city Of Menin In Belgium, was
not sheIled by either army. and yet 1t
is a city that Germany should pay for.
The walls Of Menin are standing. but
It Is a city of walls only. The floors,
the roofs, the jolsts, the doors and win
dows and the door and window casings
are gone, all torn out by the invading
Boche, with the result that the people
OF Menln are as homeless. as the peo-
pie of Lens and Ypres and hundreds OF
other cities and towns in the invaded
countries.

story Of devastation was always the

which the Boche should pay. and for
which the price assessed will never be
high enough.
In many ways the hellishness Of the
Boche has been demonstrated. The

The house had been procured through
the kind interest Of Sylvester. Caro-
line took a domestic science course at
a university. She could not quite un-
derstand how ner uncle retained the
valuable paintings Of their old home.
One day at her request her uncle told
her the true story Of Mr.. Pearson's re-
lations with her father. Caroline wrote
to Pearson apologizing for her conduct,
but she got her uncle's promise not to
invite Pearson to call. However. the
captain forgot all about 1t, and Pearson
appeared. As he turned In at the front
walk Caroline came out of the door.
They met face to face
1t was q most embarrassing situation.

that he had not been such fool as to

her Of the captains invitation for that

at the station and, not meeting him,
had walked up to the house.

No, Captain Elisha was not In. He

day. "He will be so sorry" said Car

He was turning to 90, but she stop

said. "You must come In and wait.
Captain Warren will be back soon, I'm

Pearson was reluctant. but be could
think OF no reasonable excuse. So he
entered the house, removed bis oyercoat
and hat and seated himself In the liv-
ing room to await the captains return.
They were deep In the discussion Of
the novel when Captain Elisha walk
ed into the living room. He was sur
prised. stating his feelings at their
mildest, to find them together. but he
did not express his astonishment
Pearson did not take the next train
nor the next. Instead. he stayed for
dinner and well into the evening and
when he did go 1t was after a prompt
acceptance Of the captains invitation

Pearson came again a week later and
thereafter frequently. The sessions
