William Robertson Smith, who later
became m of the most learned Bibli-
cal scholars Of his day, was n
very %precocious child. Talk was a
passion with him, declare his biog.
raphers, but even in his very early
years he insisted that it must be good
talk. Nothing wearied him more than
to listen to the conversation Of the
company that came to his fathers
manse when it was not of the improv-
ing sort. especially if he had to sit
silent himself, according to the rule
then strictly enforced on children. On

time. They told me of another time
when more than 10000 boys of from
fourteen to twenty years of age had
been carried away to Germany. When
I was in Lille on October % it had
very few inhabitants except old peo-
pie or very young children. Among
the few exceptions were girls of from
seventeen to twenty years of age nurs-
ing babies. which they told me were
the offspring Of German fathers. and
the pathos of the situation Of those
young girls is something I shall never
forget.
And this condition at Lille is the re-
suit of German ambition for world
domination, an ambition fostered
among the German people through
years of training, the ambition of a
people whose boast has been that
might makes right"
I am sorry to say I have heard peo-
pie attempt to excuse this looting Of
Lille on the ground that it could be
shown to be a war meAsure-the need
of Germany for this machinery and
for the labor of the people deported
to Germany. But these people cannot
find any reasonable Reuse for the war
itself. n war that was started only for
the selfish purpose of a selfish peo-
pie.
Shall Germany not pay for this con
| dition ut Lille? Shall she not pay for
the machinery that was carted away
or destroyed. for the people that were
deported? Shall she not pay for the
a of idleness Of these factories,
for the years of idleness Of the EN-.
ployees denied the opportunity of prof
liable employment? Shall she not pay
for the markets that have been de-
| stroyed and which it will take years
to re-establish If it can ever be done:
No, Germany will be able tc
| pay for all of it. She will never be
| able to pay, and no sum of money
| could pay for the anguish of those
| mothers who We're forced to stand
aside and watch their ons and daugh
tiers carried away into virtual slavery

anguish, the wrecked lives, Of those

girls with German babies. Money will
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 q
selfish ambition is not profitable.
Why Lille Was Not Destroyed.
The German retreat from Lille came
near the close of the al 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 it 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 of towns where even the mate
rial of 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 it's 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 o or your daughter. Germany
must pay all that the present and flu
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 I rode mile

passed through town after town that

I felt that could the American people

mans-Punishment Cannot
Be Too Severe.
sey WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

When a robber breaks into your
house and steals that which he can
carry away and then destroys that
which he cannot steal, you expect that
when caught he will be punished both
for what he stole and for what he de-
stroyed.
So it is with Germany.
The German army, acting under the
orders of the German government,
stole everything it could carry away in
the invaded sections of Belgium and
France, and what it could not carry
away It destroyed.
I was in the city Of Lille very short
~ after the %retreating Germans had
evacuated it. Before the war Lille
had been one Of the busiest and most
prosperous manufacturing towns in all
of Europe. Its great factories, pro-
ducing linens, cottons, velvets, ribbons
and WOODEN goods, had patrons all over
the world, and it's sugar and chemical
plants supplied much of France with
these products.

occupation, the factories Of Lille had
been idle. They are idle today. and
they will be idle for many months to
come. The reason is that Germany
stole the machinery from all of these
factories, or in the very few cases
where actual theft was not possible or
profitable, they DESTROYED the machin-
cry. The people of Lille told me that
this theft of machinery had been car
ried to such lengths that the Huns
even invaded the homes of the people
and took from them their sewing ma

Inspection of Choice Farm Acres
Will Be Profitable.
Cost Only a Trifle Compared to Pos
sible Benefit to Be Derived-"Ye
Happy Fields, Unknown to Noise and
Strife, The Kind Rewarders of In.
dustrial Life"-John Gay.

There are thousands today looking
for farms to buy, and with the hun
dreds Of thousands of acres offered for
sale, there is no lack of opportunities.
But there are all classes of lands, good,
bad, and Indifferent, much of each.
The government Of the Dominion Of
Canada has no land for sale, but with
in the boundaries Of the Dominion
there are unlimited acres of choice
land owned by railway and land COM
panies and private individuals. It
holds no brief for any, nor are any
Of them clients. But it is to the in
terest of the Dominion to have the hum
dreds Of thousands of acres placed un-
der cultivation, for every acre thus cul-
tivated adds to the evenue which helps
pay the government of the country. It
is with the purpose Of setting forth
the agricultural advantages that Cam
ada, especially Western Canada, pos
sesses, that attention is drawn to the
fact. The purpose is to place before
the reader truthful statements, and
advise the prospective settler as to
the necessity to investigate and in
spect, leaving to his w deduction the
matter of his selection. Once he de-
cides, the government will render him
any further information necessary as
TO location, prices and value of land,
and assist him in every way possible to
become settled.
The cost Of a trip to Western Cam
ada, to any portion Of the three PROV
inces-Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta-specially indicated in this
work, is but a trifle compared with the
benefits that a personal inspection may
give. Therefore the advice is to do
so. Low rates on railways will be ar
ranged and every opportunity afforded
for giving the country a thorough ana
careful examination. it may be that
you wish an improved farm, all ready
for occupation and cultivation; you
may want raw prairie, which only re-
quires blowing and the other prepara-
ton necessary for a seed bed, leaving
it to yourself to erect your buildings,
sink your well, prepare your garden,
NAN AAO" AlOSC you are "
school, church, town and market. You
may wish to go into mixed farming,
combining the raising of stock wits the
growing of grain. In this case you
will look out for some shelter from
sun, wind and storm, and want a farm
a portion of which may be cultivated
for grain, and pasture fields connected
with it. You may make this out of the
open level prairie, but you will do bet
ter to secure a partially wooded lot,
where water and pasture are already
at hand. You may wish to go into the
raising Of cattle, or sheep alone; then
you will care less for the open prairie.
but select something that may cost you
less in the more %northerly districts.
No matter what you may want, unless
it be land upon which to grow cotton,
bananas or other tropical Or semi-trop-
ical products, Your inspection trip Will
reveal to you that Western Canada pos
sesses possibilities beyond which any
literature YOU may read advises you.-
