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
Within the Power of Its
People.
By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

In August, 1914, the city of Lens in
northern France was a prosperous
community Of close to $4,000 people. II
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. Its people were in
dustrious and thrifty, living in COM
Portable homes, surrounded by the
modest luxuries 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 a wall as much as
ten feet square can be seen amid the
terrible ruins. Both the buildings
and the machinery of it's factories are
gone completely. Its coal mines are
flooded and the machinery with which
they We're operated has been destroyed.
And all this because Germany start
ed a war for the purpose of conquest ;
a wal in which no principle other than
that of ~selfishness was involved. To
day Germany is a 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.

n C been the attractive and prosper

DO YOU YAWN AT CONCERTS?
II So, There Is a Reason, Which Ia
Thus Explained by Modern
Song Writer.

II a person yawns during a SYM
phony concert and twists his program
instead of being absorbed In classical
music 1t may not be his fault. 1t may
be due to an undeveloped pituitary
body, which is located In the brain,
back of the temples.
This Is according to Cyril Scott, the
song writer, in his 1.-THE Philosophy
of Modernism In Connection With
Music" Mr.. Scott say that this pitu-
itary body is highly susceptible to mu-
steal vibrations, il normally developed.
In other words, 1t is the seat of the
emotions. He goes further and adds
that 1t is the seat of the astral or sub
limal self. This is in keeping with
the theory of the ancients that this
gland is the seat of the soul.
In commenting on MI. SCOTS state
ment- Medicine and Surgery Magazine
says:
cat a time like this when the pitu-
ltary body is the paramount topic Of
conversation in medical circles on ac-
count of its influence on our under
weight or overweight, Cyril Scott's
message In regard to its attitude to-
ward music should give us pause. The
faulty pituitary body can be corrected,
no doubt, by treatment; made super
sensitive and vibrant; thus a person
Indifferent to music may become highly
appreciative to It."

In an effort to rescue from it some one
thing, some memento Of that home they
had loved as much, or even more than
we Americans love oar homes. / saw
the tears on the cheeks Of many as
they toiled. I saw an old woman car.
rying away, as the only thing she
could find, a piece of a broken chair,
and I thought, who shall pay for this
devastation, this misery?
There Is But One Answer.
Are the broken, homeless people of
Lens to pay? Are the people of France
to pay? Are the people of England or
America or Belgium to pay? Or are
the Germans to pay?
To be sure, the city of Lens was de-
stroyed by shells fred 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 I saw them they would
have said, as / 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 we're 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 al
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. Its 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-
'l monuments Of past centuries. but

And with the passing Of this city
there passed away many thousand
Ives of British soldiers who today lie
buried around the place they so brave
ly defended. One possibly better re

at any other n spot. Here the Ger

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
a marsh, the British Tommies lay
month after month, through winter and
summer, a fair target for the Boehe
guns on the nearby hills.
When / 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 a 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.

there's, Bailleul, La Bassee, Douai,
Cambria, Roisel, Peronne, Albert, Ar

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
