Tie boundary between Bulgaria and
Turkey was all exception; that was a
matter, he said, for direct settlement,

FRANCE is
VICTIM OF
TOBACCO
Governments M onopoly
Pays $1O5,OOO,O In a
Year.
QUALITY POOR, BUT
PROFITS ENORMOUS

N ARTS, France, Dec. 2O.-The gov
ernments tobacco monopoly
4 brought net income to. the sJale
last year Of sos. 900. 600. of the largest
return since the foundation Of the
monopoly one hundred and two years
ago. This vast profit was made out
of a capital Of about s3O,Oo0,0O0, or
about one third the capitalization Of
the lately dissolved American Tobacco
company.
Quality Is Poor.
visitors TO France are inclined to
criticize the quality of tobacco supplied
them, principally because they are un-
able to find their favorite brands such
as are on sale at hJme. But as French
men have no knowledge of tobacco IN
any form, except such as is supplied
them by the government they are
quite content with the qualities of to-
bacco, although they may grumble at
the prices. Much Of the tobacco smoked
in France is grown in the country IT.
self. The government keeps a sharp
eye on all raisers of the leaf, and the
whole of the crop must be sold TO the
state at a fair appraisement.
Twenty Factories.
Twenty great factories work up tho
whole Of the tobacco manufactured In
France, and the rlght 10 retall IS Jesti-
Ously guarded by the state. Permits
to open tobacco shops are usually
granted to widows of officers OF tine
army and navy, or of other employees
of the government. The widows US
ua1y lease their permits to other per-
sons in consideration Of fixed annual
payments.
The ice - a ciga' Of given quality
is tho same al over France, and if one
cigar or a thousand are purchased.
The hotels and restaurants buy the
cigars at the same prices as they are
sold to the general public, but they
add from so to 100 percent as their
own profit. There are 47.25O author
lied tobacco planters in France, who
grow about 30 million pounds Of to-
baccO on $4,000 acres. The monopoly,
besides buying all the tobacco grown
in France, purchases 55 million POUNDS
of foreign grown tobacco, most Of It
being American leaf.
