Lens since the Germans withdraw
from that city, says a Paris despatch.
Railways and tramways are torn up

levelled. The Germans blew up en-
tire sections of the town to establish
their trench system. fhepopelation
of 311,000 people is entirely gene and
the city is dead. Water tills the gal -
tome of the coil nines, which used
to turn out 3,000,000 tons of coal.
A national committee on twat dam-
age tines sums up the devastation:
"Despite tho reprobation of the
world, the German war practices are

tensified. These odious procecdingt

whom the habit of saving has become
so fixed that it bas become ah positive
disease. 1'ltc 1110) 101(0 saves his

and community as the 111511 111110 13

The prime purpose of life is not Lo
ave money or' to acquire this world's
oode, but to let money make it}les-
