The determination of France 10
leave the ruins of the town of Ypres
untouched and to preserve the ruins
for the next 100 years as a standing
monument by which future genera
tons may judge the German people
is wise decision. Those mute ruins
of once prosperous city will do more
to impress the people of the future
with the utterly detestible character of
the Germans under their autocratic
ruler than any volumes that might be
published. The Germans will again
be calling the attention of the world
to German Kultur" and the French
can show by the ruins of Ypres just
what German Kultur" really means.

The prohibitionists are now trying
to have congress pass house bill 146
which prohibits the sale of any medi-
cine containing two per cent of al
cohol. This would put every propri-

ruin the industry, for we are told BY
the best authorities that it requires
more than two per cent of alcohol

1t is a huge task which confronts
them, for the total property loss is
now estimated at $4,000 100000. In
many places it will be necessary to
build from the ground up and even
to start under the ground, for the
dugouts and tunnels where the troops
once burrowed to safety now consti-
tute an element of danger. The cities

AN EXPENSIVE DRUNK.

AN EXPENSIVE DRUNK.
j. Henry Albers, former president
of the Albers Brothers Milling COM
pany, probably has the distinction of
enjoying" one of the most expensive
Gags" ever accumulated by any west
ern man. Albers was recently con-
victed of violation of the espionage
law. He was charged with disloyalty
and with denouncing the government
and aiding its enemies in time of war.
Albers' defense was that he was
"bibulous and Fabulous" and that the
remarks for which he was arrested
and convicted were made while he was
returning from San Francisco and had
imbibed too much liquor. He was
charged with violently denouncing thu
United States and offering to bet
that the kaiser would click the world.
He was charged with having declared
that Germany is better country
than America.
He was convicted on two counts
and is liable to fine of $4,000 and |
10 years in prison for each convic- |
ton. A fine of $4,000 would not
hurt Albers, who is millionaire, hav
ing made his money in grain and flour
in the United States, but 20 years in
a federal prison would hurt some.
But the expensive part of the Gag"
is that milling business worth mil
lions of dollars and covering the entire
Pacific coast is being boycotted by
loyal Americans who refuse to buy
flour, breakfast food or the much adj
vertised "flap jack flour" manufac-
tured by this firm. 1t seems certain
that the big firm, the largest milling
firm on the Pacific coast, will be
driven out of business. 1t is prob
ably too late now to quote scripture
to the former head of this big fir,
but we might remind him that the
bible says 'slook not upon the wine
when it is red, for it biteth like d
serpent and stingeth like an adder"
Mr.. Albers probably now realizes that
he was "stung."
The indomitable courage of the
French people is shown in their desire
and purpose to rebuild their devas
