' If we should impose upon Germauy any lighter punishment than ip here in' dlcated, wes would be merely encourag ing; the peoplo nf that country to pre lum* for another war. If the worlct 1h to be made safe from" u ?repititlou of Germany'* fcurtul primes, it Ik not enough that there should be a league of nation* to guarantee peace. That league -would?be -valueless unless Germany to a certain extent 1* placed in bondage through the many years re ijuired. for the payment of the indemni ties which should be imposed upon that coiiutry. 1 n order t bat ull clashes*.. from the I highest l<> t he lowest. shall feel the full effect of huviug to atone, as fur as iu human power, to those who have been imtmverifthed, to the families of those who have died on the battlefields, to the mil lions permanently invalided who must go through life suffering au ever-present physical agony, or \^vlio, in blindness or limbless, .must struggle until J he end of the Journey to make a living under Nueh adverse conditions, these indemnities must he renulrod of Germany. .1 Hlia.ll we for one moment consider It SiiaL tliut Xlicini-wmmdttL ilist-atii'd and in nilnod in en shall in po.v.euty or through hardships struggle to the end of life while (ho people of the assn^sin nations of (lormuny and iin allieK are left free to rebuild their fortunes? <s The German soldiers who have died or been invalided are merely those who gladly and joyously ran contrary to the laws of God and man in their effort to murder and to rob others. There ia uo more reason why We should have pity for them than why we should have, pity for the tieiul who dishonors womanhood, or for the midnight marauder who 'mur der* and roba the innocent peepl^: Who wtand between him and 'the looting of 'the household. x rV . .. 7-/; WcpjnUNt look not merely to the pre sent in considering the penalty which inunt be impoxed upon Germany and its allien, for we must bear 'in mind that Germany haa beeu the greatest interna tional murderer and robber of history. It has committed on an unprecedented Mcalc crime* which in individuals neces sarily bring forth the death penalty. Germany must suffer for its crimes in exactly the same way that, the indi vidual criminal must pay the penalt.v fol- his evil^work. The terms of payment Which we have suggested would not destroy Gerjnflny'a power to develop its business interests nor permanently imi>overiah its people. These terms would merely require that u nnTlon of freebooters and murderers shall to the extent of their ability re place by their own work the thiugs they have destroyed and of wh^h they have robbed other nations. Even then they can never in the slightest degree otone for all of 'the sorrows and the agonies which they have brought upon the world. That the death penalty should be tn~ flirted upon the leading criminals guilty of bringing on this world war and its atrocities, from the Kaiser to the Em peror of Austria ami the Hxiltnn of Tur ! key aud the King of Bulgaria down to the men who were resiMMisible for the murder of Edith Cavell, for the murder of Captain Marryntt. fo^ the murder of every man and woman killed by tin* crimes of the submarines, for every mail responsible for the murdering of inno cent men, women and children in Bel gium and -France and Serbia and Arme nia, admits of no question. Civilization has undertaken a great task. It was compelled in order to save itself to light to the end a war against a great gang of murderers and out ra gers. It will be false to all the future If it faila to make a thorough job of it and compel these murder ft and assassins to surrender unconditionally and then Vo punish them Mth as much as that which we have here suggests. To do less would he to comnfit a crime and to be unjust to the dead and to the living and to the generation* yet. to come. Civilisation faces its most tremen dous task and must now prove its right to exist. Is civilization equal to the call of God to punish crime by a nation of criminal* as freely as it punishes crime of the individual assassin aud rapist? If It baits and holds back and refuses to do' its duty, then surely the nations of the world are not worthy of Almighty t^od's blessing and should parish from the earth. The thirtieth vers* of the eighth ? linp Ur of Peutronomy reads : "As the nations which the lxmi dc stroyeth l^efore your face, so shall jre perish : because ye would not |pa o be* dient unto 'the voice of the yotir1 God."
