remains and the world will call for
French products even more than be-
fore the war. perhaps, because of the
feeling against the Germans. Money
must be borrowed for the rebuilding
operations. Not only will capital be
brought in from abroad. but it is prac-
tically certain that the French govern
ment will arrange longtime loans to
great many persons. This will espe-
cially be the case where it is desired
to start up factories and revive indus
tries. Lace makers of Lille and the
wool spinners of Roubaix may be given
as case in point"
In the devastated parts of France
there VIII be tremendous demand for
everything from chairs to sewing ma
chimes. The purchase of these things
means that money will become plenti-
full. In the part Of France the Germans
did not reach French people have been
buying as little as possible. The la
dies of Paris have been getting along
with the gowns of 1914 and without
economy has prevailed everywhere.
Merchants have not attempted to re-
plenish their stocks except as forced.
When peace comes money must be
spent.
Problem of Back Rent.
There will be a thousand problems to
be worked out in the reconstruction
era. That of the back rent is only one.
During the war soldiers serving with
the colors are not required to pay rent,
although the rent remains as charge
to be met later. This ruling has been
taken advantage of by those who can
afford to pay in many instances as well
as those who cannot. The man with
no money in the bank will find himself
Saddled with a load debt
Most of them will settle 1t by NOV
ing is the view of one man.
Those who have money must pay, and
this will swell the current of moving
money. 1t seems likely that the work
ingman and the small owner will bene-
fit to a less degree by the flood of after
the-war easy money which is looked
forward to, but the business men gen
high prices and high interest will op
crate as check upon extrava gance,
and after the first flush of money spend
ing France will likely settle down to
long period of slow but certain growth.
There are not wanting optimists who
believe that a new period of prosperity
will dawn for France as an indirect re-
suit of the war.
1t is notable that few of those inter-
rogated expressed any doubt as to the
final outcome of the war. Here and
there one inserted the qualification: 'If
the war is complete victory for the
allies" but as a rule that victory is
taken for granted. France began to
hope when it was demonstrated that
the German advance had been checked
by the battle of the Marne. The recent
victory of the Champagne has given
her renewed courage.

Makes Defiant Reply.

M. Theodor says the newspaper re-
Piled briefly that he had nothing to do
with the private opinions of his col
leagues, and added:
NO doubt, inasmuch as they invaded
US, the Germans have become our en-
emles. Menaced as we are in our very
existence, we will fight them with all
the bitterness of our ingrained national
spirit On the other hand, the indi-
vidual German who appears as a liti-
CANT in our courts encounters no i'll
feeling, prejudices or veXatious acts.
If his honor, liberty or interests are
unjustly menaced, the bar will protect
him. AS to the threat that other meas
ures will be taken it will not alter our
attitude in the Least"
Subsequently NJ. Theodor, according
to the Morning Post, several times pro-
tested against proceedings of a tri
bunal in which a German judge, without
a jury, condemned Belgians to severe
penalties for all sorts of offenses.
The climax came, the newspaper says,
when NJ Theodor protested against the
act of the German police in breaking
into the offices of lawyers engaged in
litigation concerning the will of King
Leopold, where they seized several doc
uments. This, he declared, was a vfo-
lation of The Hague convention.

1000 Laborers Go to Germany.


Payment for requisitioned property,
the memorandum asserts, was made
matter of grace on a very inadequate
basis, and to be settled after the war.
The worst blow is described as having
been the inducing of skilled labor to go
to Germany under pressure, 10000 per-
sons doing so.
AS result of the foregoing meas
ures, the memorandum says. hundreds
of thousands of working-class families
are faced with starvation. Manufac-
turers are keeping many persons vir-
tually on charity; 250,000 persons in
Lodz are living on 100000 to $4,000
per week.
The article says the Germans have es-
tablished monopoly on coal, for which
they charge exorbitant prices; inflated
the currency, compelled local authori-
t1es to pay for repairs to roads and
tary purposes; confiscated government
estates, denuded forests, placed incredi-
bly, high customs tariffs on the neces-
saries of life. compelled all persons to
carry expensive passports, from which
alone they have gained $5,000,O00, and
levied high fines on towns and persons
Tor violations of laws.
Population Now Apathetic.
The population" the memorandum
concludes. tired out by the war and
ruined by so many disasters, accepts
them in an apathetic mood. There is
the reflection, however, that one does
not ruin. economically country in
which one expects to stay"
Many districts, the memorandum
says, were threatened with famine as
early as the autumn of 1914 The in
dustria1 regions and coal districts of
Dombrova and CZestochowa were COM
pietely cut off from external food sup
doing wonders in their attempts to
save the population from starving.
Efforts Made to Aid.
The news of their Distress" the
statement adds, spread throughout
Europe and America, giving rise to the
formation of relief committees. A
committee was formed by Henryke
Sienkiekicz, the author, in Switzer-
land, and the Rockefeller Insti-
tute discussed philanthropic action
Even official circles in Berlin an

The Polish population of the occu-
pied districts accepted these measures
with skepticism. clearly understanding
that this was not case for philan-

recourse to outside help to ward off
famine; that Russian Poland by itself

GERMANS MAKE CAPTIVE
HIGH BELGIAN LAWYERS
Accused of Dissemination to Take
Up Cases of Teutons in
the Courts.

LONDON, November 26.-A series of
clashes between Belgian lawyers and
German officials has eliminated in
the deportation in captivity to Ger
many of Leon Theodor, chief of the
order of advocates of Brussels, and
Henri Botsom, former chief of the
same order, says the Morning Post
today.
The trouble between NJ. Theodor and
Governor General Won Kissing, accord
ing to the newspaper, began some time
ago, when Gen. Won Bissing wrote NJ.
Theodor as follows:
i am informed Of the disinclination on
the part of Belgian counsel to take up
the cases of Germans in the courts
If this is the case the imperial govern
ment will be under the necessity of
safeguarding German interests in
other ways"

Food Taken to GERMANY.

Throughout the autumn of 1914, saws
the writer, thousands of German wag-
ons carried off grain, potatoes and 9TH
er foodstuffs which were taken into
Germany. The Germans brought
threshing machines and even machines
for digging potatoes in order to provide
themselves systematically with food.
On their return in the winter, although
there was plenty of food in the coun-
try, they forbade it being transported
from one district to another on the pre-
text of preventing speculation.
Thousands of potatoes are rotting in
some districts, says the statement,
while across the borders the popula :
tions were dying from epidemics due to
starvation. The German agents of the
company from Posen to which the Ger
man military had given the sole right
to trade in food and other produce made
acquisitions on villages and manors un-
til the country was bare of food, while
the Berlin relief committee appealed
TO the German public, fed on Polish
grain, for contributions and aims for
the hungry Poles.

Food Riots Frequent.

A dispatch from Amsterdam to the
Exchange Telegraph Company says:
Food riots are frequent in Poland.
The shortage of supplies is so great
in the towns around Warsaw that even
the wealthy are unable to obtain suf-
ficient food. AS consequence out
breaks are of almost daily occurrence
and involve fighting between civilians
and the German troops.
THE situation has been made worse
by the refusal of Gen. Won Besseler
governor general of Poland, to allow
the Polish relief committee TO work
except under German control, to which
the committee declines to assent. The
mortality among children has doubled
since the cold weather began"

IMPROVEMENTS
 VERY COSTLY
SEWARD MAY NOT HAVE ANY CONCRETE SIDE
 WALKS.

Word was passed around town to- day that the street improvements which were contemplated would cost over sixty thousand dollars, but this is probably an exaggeration. One Of the members of the street committee of the council stated, when asked his opinion, that he believed the city will find that the building of concrete sidewalks at present will be too much for the finances of the municipal gov ernment. He was also asked to state whether the estimate of sixty thou sand dollars was too high but he de- clined to give any opinion as he had not looked into the matter carefully enough. He pointed out, however, that the city council is not responsible for naugurating the improvements. They were moved for in answer to petitions from the abutting property owners in the districts to be improved. Those property owners must meet two thirds of the expense of such i'm provements and the city government meets the remainder of the cost. One man who says he knows about con crete work in answer to a question states that concrete sidewalks on both sides of 4th street from the wharf to Adams street alone would cost not much less than seven or eight thou sand dollars in addition to the cost of other work in the same area. Whether this estimate is correct or not cannot be told, probably, until an engineer and concrete contractors get down to work on the estimate
 Fourth street is only part of the dis trict for which improvements have been proposed, but, as stated before, the estimate of sixty thousand dol lars is likely too high altogether. It would mean that the city would have to pay twenty thousand dollars as it's part of the expense entailed This, of course, would be out of the question as that sum is in excess of the entire income of the municipality last year.

FORMER VILLA GENERAL SAYS STRONG THIRD ARMY

SAN ANTONIO, April 29.- Pasquale Angeria, a former general in the army of Villa, has issued a statement declaring that a strong new revolutionary movement is being started in Mexico and that Huerta will be it's leader. The intention is to oppose.both sides now struggling for the mastery who are, according to Angeria, bent merely on self agrand- izment and have absolutely no regard for the welfare of the republic. He states that the majority of the people of the country are anxious to have the strong government of Huerta once more established.
