In an effort to rescue from 1t some one
thing, some mementO Of that home they
had loved as much, or even more than
we Americans love our homes. ! saw
the tears on the cheeks Of many as
they toiled. saw an old woman car
rying away, as the only thing she
could find, piece Of broken chair,
and I thought, who shall pay for this
devastation, this misery2
There Is But One Answer.
Are the broken, homeless people of
Lens to pay? Are the people Of France
to pay2 Are the people Of England OF
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.
Could the people Of America have
seen the people searching those ruins
as / saw them; could they have seen
the tears as / saw them they would
have said, as I said, Germany must
pay, and she must continue to pay
until this fair city and many, many
others like it, have been restored !:
until these people and their descend
ants are again the happy, prosperous,
contented people they were before the
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 all
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. It's wonderful Cloth Hall and
st. Martins church, both considered
among the marvels of Europe and both
dating back to the thirteenth century,
are gone, never to be restored. There
Is no way by which the Germans can
give back to the world these beauti-
full monuments of past centuries, but

GERMANY MUST PAY
Important Commercial CenterS
Destroyed Beyond Repair.
PEOPLE ARE LEFT HOMELESS
Country Should Be Forced TO Pay for
Ruthless Destruction as Far as

People.
Rv WRIcHT a. PATTERSON.


In August, 1914, the city of Lens in
northern France was prosperous
community of close to $4,000 people. 1t
was known as the Pittsburgh Of
France, and it's 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. It's people were in
dustrious and thrifty, living in COM
Portable homes, surrounded by the
modest Injuries Of an Industrial COM
munity.
All that is left OF Lens today is a
crumbling 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 selfshaess 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.

The liver acts as a guard over our
well-being, sitting out the cinders and
ashes from the general circulation.
A blockade in the intestines piles
heavy burden upon the liver. If the
lntestines are choked or clogged up,
the circulation of the blood becomes
poisoned and the system becomes
loaded with toxic waste, and we suffer
from headache, yellow-coated tongue
bad taste in mouth, nausea, or gas,
acid dyspepsia, languor, debility, yellow
skin or eyes. At such times one should

FauIt-Findina.

Why should we denounce fault-fnd-
ing because it is not constructive? All
of us are continuously finding fault,
more or less, and on our success in
finding the fault and destroying it de-
ponds mostly our successful develop
ment. So in the end it appears that
fault-fnding is essentially one of our
most constructive activities. One of
our worst faults is the hypocritical
practice of finding fault with fault

they can be made to pay for them so
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-
allies here the terrors of this war than
at any other one spot. Here the Ger
mans held the hills to the east of the
city, and the British defenders occu-
pied the low-lying fields between the
hills and the city. For them dugouts
or deep trenches were out of the ques-
ton 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 Boche
guns on the nearby hills.
When 1 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 eff
fort to find some small thing that could
be associated with the homes that the
Germans had destroyed in their effort
to secure world domination by a war
of conquest.
City Of Walls Only.
The city of Menin In Belgium, was
not shelled by either army, and yet it
is 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 joists, the doors and win
dows and the door and window castings
are gone, all torn out by the invading
Boche, with the result that the people
of Menin are as homeless as the peo-
pie of Lens and Ypres and hundreds Of
other cities and towns in the invaded
countries.
I rode through devastated Armen-
there's, Bailleul, La Bassee, Douai,
Cambria, Roisel, Peronne, Albert, Ar
ras, ST. Quentin, Guiscard, Noyon,
Chauny, Thiaucourt, Vigneulles and
hundreds of smaller towns, and the
story of devastation was always the
same, with but little variation, devas-
tation caused by the Boche, and for
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
city of Arras has not suffered such
complete destruction as has fallen
upon many other cities. Here the Ger
man gunners conferred their fire upon

the cathedral, and day after day, week
after week and month after month
they continued to pour rain Of metal
upon this beautiful old church until
today 1t is nothing but mass Of pow
dered stone. Germany cannot give
back that cathedral of Arras, but she
can pay and should pay for the need
less, senseless destruction.
And the fair cities and towns that
have been so ruthlessly destroyed are
but incidents in the devastation caused
by this war, and for all of which Ger
many and her allies, and they alone,
are responsible. and for all Of which
they should pay.

Brilliant Recital by Piano
Students Of Mrs. J. Fl. Bayer.


Mrs. Carrie jenkins Bayer, assiste-
ed by Dr. George l.. Powers, baritone,
presented portion of her piano class
in an interesting recital at Cavitt
Hall Friday afternoon. The pro-
gram was varied and displayed keen
musical selection on the part of the
teacher, as each number seemed ap-
rropriately characteristic of the indi-
yidual player.
Thee on the program were from
the primary, intermediate, as well
as the more advanced departments
Of Mrs. Bayer's class, but each one
from little Eloise Bayer of the pri-
mary to Misses Phillips and Hum
phreys, who gave the most difficult
numbers, played with an ease and
assurance that showed careful train
ing and a musical understanding and
technique that alone emphasize the
thorough musical education of an
instructor. Mrs. Payer is graduate
of the Hartford School of Music,
Hartford, Conn, where she spent 5
years in concentrated study, and she
has also been student at the Amer
lean Institute of Applied Music, New

BAPTETS EXPRESS
THANKS TO PRESS
Cooperation OF The Newspapers Aid
Materially In The
Campaign.

Rev. j. W. Storer, district organizer
and Ross Rogers, publicity director
for the Western District Association
in the big Baptist drive, which sue
cessfully eliminated in the First Bap-
fist church raising $4,000, and in
all the churches in the couny acquit-
ting themselves admirably, state that
it was the cooperation of the news
papers that contributed largely to the
fine showing the Western District
made, and express appreciation to
The Partisan for the free use of our
columns for this cause.
Mr.. Rogers, in speaking of this
feature this week declared: 81 knew
the home papers would aid in the
drive, but / am delighted at the hear
ty cooperation and the large amount
of space they have given to the cause.
AS contributors to worthy causes
there are probably no business con-
Germs who contribute more literally
of their stock in trade than does the
press. 1t would be hard to estimate
just what the publicity of the Paris
rapers has meant to the campaign,
but it has been much Few if any
newspapers | have seen have given
more to the cause than these"
Rev. Storer addressed note to his
publicity director this week, which is
as follows:
Dear Ross:
II wish you would convey to both
of the local papers my deepest appre-
citation of the valuable aid they so
freely gave us in the rs million cam
paign. Without the papers message
from week to week it would have been
for the folks in the coun-
try to have known what we were try
ing to do. Please thank them per-
sonally for their help, and thank
them on behalf of those interested
in the outcome of the campaign in
Henry county, and wherever the pa
per has gone. | know that as Pub
licity Director, you realize all this
much more than l.
Sincerely,
J. W. Storer."
The fact that the $75,00O,000
drive coming on the heels of so many
other drives has been so overwhelm-
ngly oversubscribed is attributed to
5he press of the country, not only
mere, but everywhere, giving free
space to the Baptists to expound to
,he public, their plans, hopes, aims
md accomplishments
The Partisan gave to the Baptist
irive 394 inches of free space. We
nave been glad to give front page
story each week to the success of
his worthy undertaking, and at reg
liar ad inch rates, we feel happy to
lave done our part. We have, more
over, given the cause our hearty edi-
,orial support and the fact that our
interest has been so cordially appre-
dated makes US all the gladder to
lave helped in our way Apprecia-
ion is one of the finest, and one of
he scarcest things in this world.
