Hun Ships Should Replace Vessels
Sunk by U-Boats.
MUST PAY AND PAY AND PAY
Stolen Machinery Ceing Used by the
German Factories, Together With
Destroyed Property, Must
Be Replaced.
By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.
More than two million American sol
diers crossed the Atlantic that they
might help fight the battle of civiliza
tion and defeat the selfish ambitions
of the people of the German nation.
I crossed the ocean in a convoy which
carried some thirty thousand of these
men. and for nearly fourteen days it
was my privilege to share with them
the dangers of the sea and the dan
gers of the German submarines. I saw
these men crowded into the hold of
small ships that they might the more
quickly go to the rescue of that civili
zation for which we were fighting; I
saw them as they were tossed about
by the terrific seas driven by gales that
reached a maximum of 100 miles an
hour; I saw them die of exposure as
the seas beat in upon them ; I saw*their
bodies consigned to the waters of the
broad Atlantic; in the convoy with
which I crossed one of the ships went
iown in the storm, carrying with it
nearly five hundred of these Ameri
an soldiers.
And these tilings happened because
ilie German people had run amuck,
driven to it by a ‘elfish ambition for
world domination and loot.
Arc these people to escape a Just
retribution? Are they to escape pay
ment?
I saw in Europe the mourning rel
atives of women and children who
had perished in the Irish sea because
of the depredations of a German U
boat. These women and children were
traveling in a merchant ship on peace
ful errands, hut they were sent to
their deaths without warning, and
without any opportunity of being
, saved.
Must Pay for Many Crimes.
Should the people who were respon
sible for these deaths of women and
children escape without punishment
for their crimes?
That civilization which defeated the
Huns will demand that Germany pay 1

Forest of Argonne, Pause for Rest Among Shattered Stumps of Once

for the crimes committed on sea and
land. She must pay for the lives and |
the ships lost at sea, and she must pay
for the terrible destruction of*lives and
property she caused on land.
But how slmll Germany pay? She
has not the money now with which to
replace the ships or rebuild the French i
und Belgian cities and towns or re
place the machinery nnd other valu- i
able property she has stolen.
But Germany has ships and prop
erty and labor, und with these she
can pay a part. Germany's ships
should be given to the neutral notions
to replace those the German U-boats
destroyed. Germany should be forced
to recompense these nations ton for
ton so fur as her merehnnt marine will
accomplish that. Germany’s ship yards
and German labor should be forced to
build more ships with which to replace
the merchant vessels of both neutral
and allied nations sunk by German
submarines.
German labor should be put to work
under guard of allied troops In the
fields of France and of Belgium that
these fields may again be put under
cultivation. Germany has fo* genera
tions called her youth to the colors
for training as soldiers, and with these
soldiers she has attempted to destroy
the freedom of the world. Let her con
tinue to call her youth to the colors,
but instead of having guns put In
their hands let them be put behind the
plow In Belgium and France that they
may remove the unexploded shells with
which these once fertile fields are
sown. Germany is responsible for the
condition of these fields, und the Ger
man people should be forced to accept
the huzards of their reclamation.
Let the Germun youth, paid by Ger
man money, be assigned the task of
rebuilding the destroyed cities anil
towns and villages so fur as that can
be done. Germany was able to do
i without the constructive labor of mil
lions of her men while they were tn
gaged In destroying these cities, towns
and villages, and now let her continue
to do without this (constructive labor
while her men rebuild that which they
have so wantonly <—-troyed. Ger
many's men have been satisfied to
work at the destructive trade of the
soldier for the meager pay of a Ger
man soldier, and now let them be em
ployed nt constructive work In the sec
>tions they hav* destroyed, for lb
some meager pay, und tills to be paid
by Germany.
The German people have stolen from
Belgium und France much of the mu
chinery and other valuable and port
able property they found in the Invad
ed districts. Much of the stolen mu
chinery is running today in German
factories, and with it the German peo
pie are earning a livelihood while Un
people of Belgium and northern France
are idle because of a lack of oppor
tunity. German employers are pre
pared to reap a trade harvest as soon
as they are again allowed to enter tin
field of world trade been use they hav(
this machinery. With it they can cap
ture the markets that have been held
by the French and Beltfiun employers,
who have been put out of business by
the depredations of Germany.
The immediate return of this stolen
machinery and other propert” should
he forced, nnd where its return is not
possible it should he replaced with
(spilvalent machinery from German
factories, and the machinery nnd prop
erty destroyed should be replaced In
the same way just sc far as that Is
possible.
Force Payment for /ill Damage.
These methods will pay hut a small
part of the debt of the Oeramn peo
pie to the world, but 'hey will aid In
some degree In undoing what the Hun*
have so ruthlessly done. Along with
these should he n money compensation
for the nations that have suffered so
cruelly at th« hands of the German
nation and the German people. A rnon
ey compensation the payment of which
should be extended over a period of
many, many years, that not only the
present, hut future generations of the
German people may learn, from the
effort thut is needed to pay, that self
ish, wanton war Is unprofitable.
Judging from the German prisoners
with whom I talked in France, I do
not believe that the Germans are todaj
a repentant people. They feel that
they are temporarily a defeated peo
pie, but many of them expressed thf
thought that there would come a timf
of reckoning for the world when Ger
many would come into her own and
German “kultur” would be forced up
on the people of the world.
It will take many, many years tt
breed out of the German people theli
present Ideas of world conquest, and
this can only be accomplished by mak j
Ing the generations yet to come paj
and pay until they, too, hnv* learned
that war for selfish purposes, war tt
gratify selfish ambitions, can never b«
profitable.
STEEL DRUM REMOVES BARK
Liabor-Saving Device That Does the
Work of Many Men, and Does It
Hapidly and Well.
A new labor-saving device employed
; by a pulp manufacturer Is a big re
volving drum In which a number of
j logs are placed and tumbled about un
| til all the bark ha* been removed, pre
I paratory to grinding them up for pulp.
This method of handling, says Elec
trical Experimenter, does away with
the task of removing the bark with
knives. The drum is 30 feet long and
about 10 feet In diameter, and is com
posed of angle-iron strips fastened In
side metal hoops, one edge of each
strip projecting Inward and throwlug
the logs about. Not only does the
I drum dispense with the labor of sev
j eral men, but It saves n considerable
: amount of wood which Is wasted by re
moving the bark In the old way. The
labor involved in handling the logs is
further reduced by using a conveyor
which brings them to the drum and
carries them away.
UNITED STATES STILL
FIGHTING DOMINICANS
In a letter written to relatives in
the United States and published in
The Literary Digest for February 22,
Private Alvin B. Kemp, a U. S. ma
rine, says that the government is
still fighting the Santo Dominicans.
It appears that the enemy is made up
chiefly of natives who resent their
tieatment by this country, although
the United States regards them as
“bandits” in older to cloak their ef
fort at native subjection.
The present method of fighting is
described by Private Kemp in the fol
| lowing:
“We search the hidden trails out—
there are no roads—and search the
mountains for bandit camps and stray
■ natives who look suspicious. In sev
I oral engagements on finding these
j hidden camps we found the Lewis gun
I-:
came in handy, as these men hide
behind the thick brush and fire on
us unseen, and the only way to silence
them is to sweep the trees with a
burst of fire.
“So far we have been very lucky
and have had few casualties, but have
inflicted great damage to the enemy,
just l ow many we are not allowed
to state; but suffice it to say that to
keep up their strength they are now
‘forcibly conscripting’ men, that is,
they slip out at night and take peace
ful native prisoners and force them
to join them. We have two mounted
outfits operating with us, but they
don't seem to be as successful as the
infantry, from the fact that they make
too much noise approaching. These
natives are very sharp-witted and can
easily step aside ten paces in the
brush and laugh as we go by. Once
in a while the marines outwit them,
however, and then they scatter in ev
ery direction shouting: “Cuidalo ia
carabina loca,” or "The crazy rifle,
look out!”
PAY FOR YOUR PAPER
The really cheap man or woman is
the one who takes a paper, reads it
and then runs when the collector calls
to ask them to pay for it.
Do you patronize The Monitor ad
vertisers?
When you fail to get your paper,
don’t holler. It must be that you
owe something and haven’t paid.
It takes some folks a long time to
learn that a newspaper isn’t exist
ing upon air. /
