Paris. Jan. 31.-The food is steadily,
though slowly, diminishing, and IN two
weeks. If no rain or snow falls, the
Seine will reach it's normal level AS
the waters recede from the streets
numerous collapses and sinkings OF pave

have fallen.
The river continues to fall steadily at
the rate of about three quarters or an
inch an hour, but at certain points OUT
side the city the rush of the waters Is
threatening and soldiers are stili at
works building dams TO divert or stay
the currents.
The relief fund of the American Cham

$4,000.
Wild desoiation prevails in the suburbs
Of Ivry Issy. Les Moulineaux, the Bois

which owing to the absence OF gas or
electric lights, are plunged in darkness

New Orleans, Jan. 31.-CardinaI Gibbons
said to-day regarding the foods in France:
We cannot question Gods DEGREES nor
sit IN judgment upon the afflicted but
surely this national disaster should have
the effect OF making the people of France
think of what they have done 10 the re-
ligious communities. The methods they
have used have been most cruel and they
have singled out the religious orga nizations
from al others for their prosecutions

the coast of California Is dangerously
exposed to IN enemy, in case of war.

II we understand the gentleman cor.
rcctly, he considers it necessary to have

result 1t would be necessary to build

anything about 1t. We fancy that be-
fore such q hostile fleet had been
equipped, it's destiny would be known

ress would be watched from day to day,
ana by the time it had decided on
where to anchor. it would find every
thing in readiness for the reception. 1t
Is not to be supposed that our own
warships would be idle. Russias war

1t is now about forty years since the
two provinces were wrested from
France by Germany. AT first the Dues
ton what to do with them was quite q
problem Tic population was French
to the very. core; its sympathies were
with the French, and the Germans were
regarded ms enemies. Craftsmanship
and bnyoncts were needed to keep
peace and order Gradually the French
population left and Germans took their
places The decision to grant the pco-
pie a measure of elf-governmcnt, aft
or forty years of German tutelage, is an
evidence that the provinces now are
regarded as safely German. 1t may also
be taken as an evidence of the fact
that Germany no longer fears that
Franco will endcavor to take possession.
At first there seemed to be but one
revenge. The French hoped to make
their army so strong that they could
feel reasonably sure OF victory in an
other war. But no matter how much
they increased the military burdens,
they found that Germany was ahead OF
them. and the war of revenge never
came. The thought OF 1t is no longer
entertained. a now generation has
charge, and other questions, have be-
come paramount. Alsace- Lorraine was
for years regarded as storm center
from which destructive war was ex-
pccted to break loose over Europe. 1t is

removal of that cause for fear. it
