now she has sprnAg into notoriety

In a Christmas day address in
washington Mrs. r. M. Lafrollette
appealed to her audience to do ev-
erything possible to discourage mill
tarism. She stirred the sympathies
Of her audience by describing the
unfortunate condition Of the women
and children OF Germany, whose lot
is to be made q still more desperate
il there is 'insistehce on the demand
for the surrender of COWS whose milk
is needed for the German babies.
It cen that tho good 1ady's Lear
preston that for some reason not
quite apparent the mi1itarists Of Eu-
rope had got their heads together and
Matched up this scheme of taking the
German cows away just in order to
starve the poor German babies to
death. 1t happens, however. that
there are some other babies sadly in
need of milk. Without any provoca-
ton on their part the people Of north
ern France suffered the devastation
of their country by German armies.
In addition to q thousand other in
juries, all their cattle were seized.
The war drained all France of food
OF every kind, and it has not been
possible for the other districts to sup.
ply the demand Of the northern ter
ritory for milk. Under the provisions
of the peace treaty it has been decided
that Germany shall deliver to France
for the relief Of the distress caused
by German acts, 100000. mich cows.
Women Of France have made an ur-
gent appeal For delivery. Women of
Germany have protested that delivery
will mean the death Of many Of their
children.
1t Is awful to think of children
anywhere suffering for food. But ii
may be as well to remember that of
the two groups the Germans have
been decidedly the fortunate.
Their homes were not destroyed. No
foreign armies desecrated their land
with acts OF deliberate malice. Their
fruit trees were not chopped down,
nor their wells poisoned, o theii
homes burned, nor their women out
ragged and murdered. All these things
happened to the French, and theil
demand for milk for their. babes
seems, after all, to be rather moder-
ATE and reasonable. e
Moreover, Germany has shown her.
self to be adept in the art of making
a poor mouth. She has played a
crooked game in, the whole matte,
Of PREPARATIONS, and, while protesting
inability to pay, has been rehabili'
tating herself perhaps faster than any
other nation.
