FRANCES FINANCIAL ABILITY
IN THE IMPORTANT CRISIS

The long awaited French loan OF
$3.50, 100000 last week was over
subscribed forty times. In other
words, for the loan of the amount
above named there were subscriptions
reaching the stupendous sum of $6,400,
100000. The people of France them
selves made the subscription-high
and low, rich and poor alike coming
forward with their surplus, large or
small, for investment in the govern
ments securities. 1t was an exhibition
which took the breath of financial Ell
rope and electrified the money centers
of the world
1t is only another illustration of the
Gallo race. A former and even more
remarkable proof was given 40 years
ago. At the close of the Franco
Prussian war of 1901, Bismark uni
fled the German empire and dictated
humiliating terms of peace to his con
quered foe in the palace of Versailles.
France lay PROSTATE, but the iron
chancellor, conscious of her marvellous
recuperative power as shown by prev
ious history, decided upon a plan by
which he felt that her subjugation
would be assured for at least a gen
GRAFTON to come. In addition tn de-
manding the cession of the Alsace and
Lorraine provinces, he exacted an enor-
uyar tndoranif,- ;v he
being five "millard" or five thousand
million francs-a billion dollars.
In the crushed, humbled, impover-
ished condition of France, 1t was felt
that this final extortion would prove
an enduring weight upon her shoul-
ders Until it should be lifted her
conquerer was not to evacuate the
stricken realm. To make the condi.
tion apparently impossible and still
more CALLING. a limit of three years
was fixed within which the vast
amount should be paid. Such were

dismay of Bismark than to the won
derment and admiration OF the world.
Payment was made to the last cen
time, and not in paper, but in good
hard coin. From their boarded savings
the peasants, artisans, shop keepers
and servants brought forth the funds
and almost faster than the money
could be received and receipted for,
the indemnity grew until the "iiber-
ator of his people," NJ. Theirs, was
forced to cry enough and refuse to ac-
cept more. It was up to that time the
most marvellous stroke Of financiering
ever seen.
( The French people are popularly
regarded as mercural, frivolous, dra-
matte and lacking in most Of the ele-
ments of solidity and enduring
strength. II is true, their thrift IN
way is recognized in the proverb that
a French family can live on what an
American family wastes. But the
plodding, sterner virtues are not usu-
ally ascribed to them. Yet it was
labundantly shown in the early seven
ties, and still more brilliantly proved
in the latest loan, that all the French
race has to do in the case of the
country's need, Is to go down into its
old stockings and other hiding places
