KABYLEs FLOCK TO FRANCE.
Natives of Algeria Supplying Labor in
 Mines and Factories.

While the Hindu tries in vain to en- ter British Columbia. the Kabyle from Algeria is invited to take up his resi- dence anywhere in France, from the Mediterranean to the British channel Already several thousand African 1a- borers are at work in the coal fields of the north and the vineyards ef the south.
 Handicapped by low bfrthrate and high morta1itye statistics, the popula- tion of France no longer suff1ces ta meet the demands for labor made up on it by increasing industrial develop ment.
 The magnitude of the need for labor is well exemplified in the development of the newly-opened Black country of France, which has as it's. center Briey, on the German frontier. The annual mineral output of this iron and coal district has sprung in three years from 13.0oO,0oO tons. to 20,O00.0e0 tons.
 TheN countryside population. which before the opening of these new fields was engaged in the rearing of pigs, has been quite insufficient to man the new industry. In three years the pop ulation has grown from 73,000 to over 15O, ,000, more than 10000 of whom are foreigners.
 Italians represent nearly three quarters of this alien population. Their arrival at Briey has transformed the Franco German frontier.
 Whole villages have become Italian; Italian newspa pers, many of them am archist sheets, predonainate on tho booksta11s. Public notices in the rail- way stations and the. streets appear in Italian as well as in French and Ger man.
 Throughout the coal districts along the Belgian frontier. a. similar state of affairs exists. BeIgians, however, have taken the place of Italians as the pre- dominant foreign element.
 They are brought to their work by special trains. and motor ornnibuses from across the frontier. They pro vision themselves before leaving Bel giur11 with their food and butter pot which have given them their nick name of pots de Buerre.
 The neigh boring department of the Pas de Calais has been ovefrun in ( similar manner by alien labor drawn from svery corner of Europe and from Africa At Lens there are even about 200 Chinest coolies at work in the mines.
 The satisfaction given by African la bor in France has drawn attention to the vast national reservoir of labor which France has at her disposal in her colonies.
 Since 1910 when a few Algerian ns.- tives were taken on at the Cour- rieries coIleries and in the oil ref1n- cries at Marseilles, the possib ibiIity of this solution has beerfaseriously tested.
 The first batch of imported KahyIes having given good results, they have been brought to France in increasing numbers, and there are now 1000 or s ,0Oo of them scatetered through the industrial and wine-growing districts of the country. Aboua 1000 of them have found employment in Paris in the sugar ref1neries, tube railways and omnibus services.
 The millions of francs which at present are taken out of the country by the Belgian, Italian and German werkmen will be diverted to Algeria and that this would be no small benefit to the colony is shown by the fact that

 It was believed today that if 20, 900 Americans besides those who already have arranged for transportation could be returned to the United States with in the next few weeks, the relief prob lem soon would be solved. Inquiries concGrning Americans abroad have been received by the state department in such nun1b bers that it was said to- be difficult to transmit them to diplomatic agents in Europe The department already has expended $50. 900 in tolls for the transmission Of queries and it was said today that an additional appropriation of $500, 900 would be asked from Congress.
