when more than 10000 boys Of from
fourteen to twenty years Of age had
been carried away to Germany. When
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 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

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

When q 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 ne stole and for what he de-
stroyed.
So II is with Germany.
The German army, acting under the
orders Of the German government,
stole everything II could carry away in
the invaded sections Of Belgium and
France. and what 1t could not carry
away Il destroyed.
was in the city Of Lille very short
ly after the retreating Germans had
evacuated II. Before the war Lille
had been one of the busiest and most
prosperous manufacturing towns In all
Of Europe. Its great factories, pro-
and woolen goods, had patrons all over
the world, and its sugar and chemical
plants supplied much of France with
these products.
For four years. during the German
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.
chimes.

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 6f gratifying Q
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 It was not
destroyed Is but another evidence Of
German selfishness 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 II 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
allst should have voice In deciding
her punishment. There Is nv more,
II us much, reason for lenlency 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 explated her crime only
In a small degree.
Any Demand Not Too Great.
| I am sure l 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 reparotlon. As rode mile
after mile over the devastated fields
Of Belgium and northern France, as I
passed through town after town that
had been destroyed because of mad
craze for loot and world domination,
I felt that could the American people

ARMISTICE DAY

Prevailed in 1913
HOW BISMARCK WENT WILD
Bonfire at. Corner of Fourth and
Broadway, Parades and
General Hilarity

One year ago today the stage was all
set for the signing of the armistice
and the celebration of the event
that is, so far as Bismarck was con-
cerned.
Armistice day fell on Monday.
The signing of the armistice had
been expected from day to day for a
week. There had been a number of
false alarms. A press association car
ried on Friday the news that the
armistice had been signed and that
peace had been declared. There were
premature celebrations in Fargo, Val
ley City, Minot and in practically all
of the large cities of the nation.
News that the armistice had actu-
ally been signed and that the most
terrible war in all history was at an
end, came over the wires in a flash
received by The Tribune about 200
a. m. A few minutes later the Hughes
Electric Co. siren, church bells and
factory whistles were shrieking and
changing forth the news.
People poured from their homes in
various stages of dress and undress
and all converged toward a common
center, the corner of Fourth and
Boardway, where within less than
half an hour fully a thousand had
gathered
Was Warm and Balmy
The morning was warm, the lar was
balmy. People wore light overcoats
and wraps or none at all. Many Of
the women were bareheaded If it had
been cold, the huge bonfire which was
soon blazing at Finney's corner would
have dispelled the chills. Alleys and
store fronts were ransacked for bar
rels and boxes to kindle the flames
Dealers in fireworks were routed out
and their stocks soon depleted, to add
their crackle and sputter and zip

intense heat kindled the crude oil in
the asphalt paving, which added to the
volume of the flames. Around the
huge pillar Of fire there danced and
capered and cheered and sang and
laughed and cried the maddest and
merriest crowd that the said North
Dakota capital ever has seen.

there were hundreds in line. A band

Washburn Lignite Co. Employees
Understood to Have Held a
Meeting Sunday Evening and
to Have Voted in Favor of Re-
turn to Jobs-Last Supply of
Coal Shipped From Yards This
Morning S..

No change in the strike situation
was reported at the governors Office
this morning. From Wilton came ad.
vice to the effect that the miners held
a meeting Sunday evening, when
majority of the organized mine-work-
ers appeared disposed to obey the gov
ernments injunction and to resume
work tomorrow or Wednesday. 1t IS
said that the Wilton local has already
paid $4,000, the equivalent of 5000
per man, into the United Mine Work
er's strike benefit funds, and that
there is no disposition among them to
remain idle now if there is any jlsti
fication for their returning to work.
Seventeen cars of Ignite were ship
ped this morning from Wilton, cleaning
up the stocks in the Washburn Ignite
Co.'S dumps. There is no report from
any part of the state to indicate disor-
der. 1t is predicted that inasmuch as
the Wilton local is the largest in the
state, it's example, if the men return
to work, will be followed by other
locals, and that production on nor
NAL scale may be resumed in North
Dakota by Thursday.

GERMAN TRAIN SERVICE
is UTTERLY INADEQUATE

Berlin, Oct. 1O.-The German trim
service has become so inadequate that
it is common for everyone to travel
second class because the train is sure
to fill up half an hour before the time
Of departure, and those second-clas
ticket holders who can find no place
are then entitled to go into first class
Second class under those .circum-
stances is better than first because il
has just six definite seats barred by
arm rests, whereas in frst-classi eight
can squeeze into the room ordinarily
meant for four.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. TO-
The general committee of the
United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca which met here today to take
action on the mandatory injunc-
tion of Federal Judge Anderson
demanding that the strike order
be rescinded before 6 p. m. to-
morrow, was still in session at 1
o'clock this afternoon and no in
timation Of what the action of
the committee would be was
given out.
The meeting place of the COM
mittee, which includes interna-
tional officers, district presi-
dents and members Of the exc
cutive board and scale commit
tee representing 425,000 strik-
ing bituminous coal miners, was
kept secret until just a few min
utes before the conference con-
vened. A sergeant-at-arms was
stationed at the entrance to the
hall and only delegates were per-
mitted to approach within 20
feet of the entrance.
Washington, D. c., Nov. TO-.
The American Federation Of La
,bor stood today before the coun--
try as unqualified endorser Of
the strike of the soft coal miners
and as bitterly opposed to the ac-
tion of the government in at
tempting to end the strike
through injunction proceedings,
which action is characterized as
$50 autecratic as to stagger the
human mind"
Endorsement of the strike
was announced last night in
statement issued by the execu-
tive council of the federation,
which pledged to the strikers
the support Of all organized la
Dor and appealed to the citizen
ship of the, country to give 'like
endorsement and aid to the men
engaged in this momentous
struggle
'1NVASION OF RIGHTS
After going into the history
of events leading up to the
strike and since, the statement
declared the course of the gov
ernment in securing a court
order at Indianapolis Saturday
directing officials of the miners
organization to call off the strike
by tomorrow night an invasion
Of the rights of the miners and
demanded the withdrawal of the
injunction. Use of the Lever act
under which the court proceed
Sings were instituted was severely
condemned as 'san injustice to
all liberty loving Americans"
After declaring that "by all the
facts in the case the miners
strike is justified; we endorse
it; we are convinced of the JUS
tice of the miners cause" the
statement concluded with the
appeal to the citizens to support
the strikers and promised sup
port of organized labor.
