not pay for these things, but money
and work can in some small degree
pay for the wrecked factories and ru-
ined business Of the city of Lille. and
through the payment Of this money
and labor the people Of Germany will
learn that might is not right and that
war for the purpose Of gratifying
selfish ambition is not profitable.
Why Lille Was Not Destroyed.
The German retreat from Lille came
near the close Of the war when the
Germans knew they were beaten and
they would have TO pay, and for that
reason the city itself was not de-
stroyed. But the fact that 1t was not
destroyed is but another evidence Of
German selfshness rather than Of vir-
tue.
There are hundreds Of cities and
towns that have been destroyed after
being looted as Lille was looted; hun
dreds IF towns where even the mate
rial or which they were built has been
carried away that it might be used in
the construction of Notifications be-
hind which the German army might
defend itself and its ill-gotten gains.
For all of these Germany should pay
now, and for generations to come
No sympathetic pardon board should
sit on Germany's case. No sentiment
alist should have a voice in deciding
her punishment. There is no more,
if as much, reason for leniency in fix
ing the punishment of Germany than
there would be for leniency in fixing the
punishment of the ruthless slayer OF
your son or your daughter. Germany
must pay all that the present and fu-
ture generations can pay, and she will
even then have expiated her crime only
in a small degree.
Any Demand Not Too Great.
I am sure I know the desire of the
American people for fair play in all
things, including the settlement with
Germany. They would not wish TO do
the German people an injustice in the
demand for reparatiOn. AS rode mile

Of Belgium and northern France, as I

craze for loot and world domination,

SIGHT SEEING TOUR PROVIDES MUCH PLEASURE Does Not Bring Vacation Rest But Cheerful Mem
 ories Remain. RETURNED TOURIST
 GAINS NEW IDEAS But Almost Invariably Longs For Own Home
 Town.

Many people take a summer vaca-
 tion by going on a sightseeing tour
 to some interesting section of the country. Let no one think he is go-
 ing to get any vacation rest out of it.
 He will probably return much more
 weary than when he started. Yet anyone who takes such a trip usually feels that his labor is well
 repaid. He is cheered for many days
 by the memories of beautiful country or fine cities he has seen. He has
 met interesting people, talked upon new subjects, and got different points of view.
 He returns a broader American cit izen. He begins to see that his own state and section does not contain all the wisdom and virtue, and that peo
 pie with Q somewhat different tnheri- tance have their own points of view which have some degree of wisdom.
 Also he gets ideas of civic advan- tage. He learns how different towns
 have solved their community prob lems and have put through progress sive measures. He begins to see how
 his home town might take some ad- vance step, solve old problems, and build new institutions.
 Most men get fdeas helpful to their | business by travelling. They are in spired with the swing of the giant stride that Twentieth Century Amer ica is taking. They have seen. big things accomplished, they haze flore faith in their own ability to dc big | things. They have a definite %ea. in | many details as to how other people and other sections have achieved sue cesses.

Any way he is the possessor of an experi- ence worth all it cost. But whatever the glories he has seen, he almost in variab1y comes back with the feeling that the good old home town is the best place yet

LOSING A LEG GETS DISABLED
 SOLDIER LIFT
Weaver Who Went to War
 Now At College.

Washington, July 1s-A young Sy- rian, twenty-four years old, left his weaver's bench to fight for his adopt ed country. He was injured by a hand grenade, which necessitated the amputation of his leg above the knee. With the educational background he had acquired from four years spent in a Russian school and five years in an English school and his experience as a weaver, the advisors of the Fed eral Board for Vocational Education thought a course in textile designing would be just the thing. The young Syrian agreed to the suggestion and started in at the Lowell Textile school on February 18th. Because of the superiority of his work in design and his mental capacity, his instructors have recommended a four years course for him. Nassib Haddad plans to study the general subjects in which he is deficient during the sum- mer months, in order to take the full course next fall. His teachers pre- dict for him a successful career as textile engineer after his gradua- ton.
 Proper direction and training bring out unthought-of ability 1n many of the boys being re-educated by the Federal Board for Vocational Educa- ton.
