FRENCH PRESIDENT DEMANDS JUSTICE {Asks Not Revenge for Dev- | astated Regions, But i Guarantee for Peace. { Ry the Associated Press LILLE. May 16.—With Germany still | disclaiming responsibility for the war which brought so much sufferinz to { France and Belgium, there is no other course than to deal with her as one who must be compelled to make good her misdeeds, declared President Mil- lerand in an addre today in the presence of Albert, King of the Relgians, at a banquet tendered the king and the French president by the chamber of commerce of Lille. After recalling the tragic incidents of the suffering endured by the popu- lation of Lille during the four years of the German occupation, President Millerand said Just Retribation. “If the citizens of Lille and of northern France and Belgium are too generous to claim revenge, they, nev- ertheless, in accord with the remain- der of the people of France and the allies, demand justice against the government and the nation which brought on the war. and which, throughout the hostilities and with- out military necessities, pursued a systematic course of ruin and devas- tation toward the mines and indus- tries, employing pillage and arson as a means of insuring their own indus- trial and economic ascendency upon the coming of peace. s long as Germany. the evidence, continues through her public men 10 deny her responsibility which her plenipotentiaries acknowl edged at Versailles and which only SOCIETY WOMEN DRIVE PUSHCARTS FOR COLLEGE SETTLEMENTS. pushearts selling articles for the benefit of the College The photo shows Miss Grace Hallock or been convicted, would be subject to ] against ail | Harrison Will Get $12.600 for 36 Months From Philippines * MANILA.
