enough for the Germans to blow up the tubbings at IS
to 40 meters below the surface in order to transform
tho mining exploitahons, into 4 kind Of subterranean lake
from which today some thirty millions Of kilometric
tons Of water have to be pumped. The destruction took
place In each mine At the level Of the principal mass
Of water contained in the Tubing, carefully ascertained
by techniciansl
ton OF the galleries. the Germans cast all manner Of
materials into the shafts. among which they threw
bombs, cases Of dynamite, so - to render the salvage
works more difficult and much more dangerous. Fur
al the surface installations OF the mines were
methodically dynanaited, room after room, machine after
machine, after having first been carefully pillaged.
Some Of the distinctions were effected In October, 1918,
after HindenburE had issued the order to cease al de-
aruction unwa]ranted by military operations! In all,
2:o pits have been rendered utterly unfit for use.''
This story Of deliberate, scientific and utterly wan
ton destruction scarcely needed an ohacial report to sub.
stantiate it. The facts have been told by scores Of writ
es who have visited the devastated district, among them
some OF our own people, who had ample opportunity for
observation. The havoc was wrought, not as an act Of
war, not - a measure Of discipliuing an unruly popula-
ton, not even as a measure OF reprisal for wrongs, real
or fancied. It was destruction for destruction's sake, and
for the sake of advantages which could be gained only
by develish destruction. Commenting on this Lausanne
says: "'F @# ~
And I understand, after having read the above
paper. that M Dubois, who does not often show any
emotion, WA overcome when he received this report.
Let US say, and repeat it increasingly: TO prevent
. return Of such an abonnination in any war whatsoever.
ana in any country whatever, the best, the only way,
is to make those who committed the distractions pay

Nations are like individuals; when they are made
to pay the breakases, 1t becomes really astonishing how
careful they are not to break too much"

IRISH

Those on this side Of the water who are engaged in
the promotion Of the Irish separatist movement are seek
ing to bring influence to bear on the American govern
ment to obtain from it official recognition of the Irish re-
public. Resolutions to that effect were adopted at the
recent meeting in Chicago, and similar steps are being
taken at other similar gatherings throughout the country.
Whatever effect all this may have az a means of agi-
tation, as a means Of accomplishing the precise object
sought this effort is futile, . fact which is doubtless we'll
understood BY those who are engaged in organizing it.
While 1t Is theoretically possible that congress might
adopt resolutions declaring Ireland to be a separate SOW
eretsnty, even against the known wishes Of the president,
there 3 not the remotest likelihood that congress will do
anything OF the sort. And il con3ress were to take such
= step It's action would not change the legal status in any
degree whatever.
Whether or not a group Of people shall be recognized
a. having = separate national existence depends on the
attitude Of the president, and not Of congress. In q num-
Der Of ways consreas may influence the relations between
this nation ana another, but the president alone has au.
thortty to grant recognitiop to q foreign nation and a for
etn government. The senate. by Withholding its consent,
may prevent the ratification Of any treaty with a foreign
power. but the nnaadns Of . treaty. 10 the act Of the prsa-
dent The senate advises and consenus but it is the pres.
ident who initiates.

uncertain terms that he considered the Irish question one
in which the United States government HAD no business

Of expression Of opinion by individuals, but he made It
very clear that he did lot consider the subject at. all prop

BORROWING INSURANCE. MONEY.

II 10 seldom that more vicious ADVICE is given than
that tendsred to the people of North Dakota by the
Fargo C6urter-Nsws when it urges those of them who
are carrying life insurance to borrow ON their policies
and invest the proceeds tn state bonds or to place It with
the Bank of North Dakota as a savings account.
The Fargo paper points out that in 1919 the North
DAkota policy holders paid the old line insurance com
.pAnies $5,b60.000 in premiums. This money, Mr..
lAmkes organ says, belongs to the pohcyholders. who,
by borrowing and reinvestins as suggested, would be able
to "eat their cake and have it. too"
In the first place, lie insurance money does not be-
long to the poicyholders, In all cases. 1t Is the Joint
property of the insured and his, beneficiary. For IL
stance. the man who carried an insurance policy made
out In favor Of his wife cannot dispose of 1t as he pleases.
The wife has an interest of which he cannot deprive her.
He can place no lien against 1t without her consent II
that consent is granted, and the proceeds Of the loan are
invested in other property, as bonds, that property. will
be subject to such disposal As he wishes to make Of It,
unless-as might be done in rare cases-she is shrewd
enough to insist on having her rights In the new prop

Bank Of North Dakota or elsewhere, Or invested in any
sort Of bonds. the funds would be available at any time
for the financing OF a Townley-Lcmke campaign, if the
insured person thought we'll Of that way Of using 1t, re-
sardless Of his wife's wishes in the matter.
Insurance money is a sacred trust. A policy has a
loan value, but that value is intended to be utilized only
to tide over an emergency, and it ought not to be used
for any other purpose. 1t is a matter Of record that
only "a small fraction Of the money borrowed on insur-
ance policies Is ever repaid. 1t is accumulated for the
benefit of the widow and the fatherless: then It Is re-
borrowed and spent, and when the bread winner Is gone
and the family assets are collected. the debt is found
standing against the policy, and the difference is often
ability to borrow on a policy is the means Of tidins over
a critical time, but when the emergency il passed. no
time should be lost in restoring the policy to its original
status. 1t is poor policy to monkey with life insurance.

ireland is more than financially

makes an annual contribution TO the
English imperial expenditure. the
amount according TO English treos-

pounds
Even this doesn't indicate the full
amount paid by us, as there are many

lish as Irish services. but which arc

"All are agreed that ireland can
