Hour of Retribution
 Strikes For Germany

0NE of history's epoeh-marking W events took place at Versailles yesterday when the allied represen- tatives delivered the terms of the peace treaty to Germany's delegates. drama which convulsed the world, be- ginning August IA, 1914, when Ger many sent her armies through Bel gium to strike at the heart of France. After more than four years of the bloodiest war humanity has ever wit messed the cup of Germany's defeat was administered to her in the same historic environment where France met the exactions of a proud and ar rogant foe at the close of the Franco Prussian war. It was the hour of retribution and there was no sym Iathy either felt or simulated for a people upon whom the crimes of their masters, and their own blood guilt, weigh heavily.
 The terms of the treaty, embody- ing the league of nations, demand the fullest reparation from Germany, strip her of her last vestige of mili- tary power and bid fair to safeguard the future peace of the world Ger many is held to a strict accounting as instigator of the war, as a ruthless advocate of the belief that might makes right" and will have to pay every debt an outraged civilization holds against her, including the bar barous treatment of civilians and cruelty to prisoners of war.
 Once the mightiest military nation on earth, Germany loses her army, her navy, her colonies, her foreign concessions, cedes territory to France, Poland and Belgium, and is reduced to the status of second or third rate power. So complete and far reaching have been the labors of the peace conference at Paris that every contingency seems to have been pro- vided for, not only to insure adequate punishment for Germany's conspiracy to dominate the world, restitution and reparation for nations, as well as in- dividuals who have suffered and rec ognit.on of all decisions made by the allies, but making it impossible for Cermsny to menace the peace of Eu- rope for at least 50 years.
 While such an important matter as the exact total of the indemnity is lift to later deliberation, so far as the peace treaty relates to Germany it leaves nothing to be desired. It is based on strict justice. although Ger ..>eny fares better than she deserves
