Devastation OF France.

Take France. France has this year
to arrange her budget for the expendi-
ture OF 12 900. .oo0,0 francs toward re-
storing her devastated area. This Is
apart from the gigantic sum she has to
provide for pensions. This provision will
have to be made year by year for a.
least ten years. What charge Is there
in the German budget comparable to
this? l feel certain that the German
people have no notion of the devastation
wrought in the allied countries as re-
suit of the action of the Imperial Ger
man Government in August, 1914.
Having regard for the incalculable
Importance of US coming to a real under
standing, think It is vital that the
German public should be informed as to
the character and the extent of the de-
vastation wrought. I cannot help think
ing that when they realize 1t their at
titude will change. They are under the
impression that the Allies are seeking
to extort money from them beyond the
allied needs, and ! am sure that they
have not the least notion of the terrible
extent of the ravages inflicted by the war
On the allied countries.

ple. Let me say ut once that we regaru
a free contened. prosperous Germany as
essential TO civilization, and dis
contented, enslaved Germany we DO not
desire. and we oppose the bondage or
her people We simply ask that she
discharge the obligations she entered
into to repair the injuries she inflicted
during the war, which her imperial Gov
ernment was responsible for provoking.
Under the Treaty of Frankfort Cat
the end of the Franco-Prussian war; she
laid down a principle and acted on It
that a nation responsible for provoking
war ought 70 pay the cost of that war.
We are not asking for the cost of the
war Not q penny. We are not going
ps far as the principle OF the Treaty OF
Frankfort The war charges OF the al
lied countries aggregate so enormous
sum that K would be impossible to ask
any country--any single country-to
beer them That we realize. In fact
We are each groan ming under n load of
taxation TO pay debts which each OF US
incurred ourselves in the war, and to
place the whole of them on one coun-
trv we fully realize would be an impos-
sibie proposition. We, therefore, de-
llberr tely in the Treaty of Versailles do
not ask Germany to pay single paper

lied countries in defending themselves
In this war What have we asked of
Germany? think it Is irnportant that
tho German public should thoroughly
the character of our demand

that Germany pay reparation In respect
To the charges cast upon our respective

Piles Up Indictments.

"On the other hand, the houses of
Germany with comparatively few ex-
ceptions in East Prussia, sustained no
damage. and the factories of Germany
are quite intact. The moment the war
was over they were free to manufacture
fabrics and to sell them to the world
while their rivals had their factories and
workshops destroyed and their ma
chinery removed or broken up. There
fore, unless reparations are made by
Germany, 1t means that the victors will
pay the price of the defeat and the van
quished will reap the fruits of the VIC
tory.
II have been informed by Belgian
Ministers that the destruction OF Belgian
factories and machinery proceeded TO
such an extent that the German army
in Belgium deported 100000 Belgian
workmen to Germany on the ground that
they were unemployed.

OF the devastation wrought as a result

German Imperial Government. ] give
