100000 FRENCH WOMEN
ARE MAKING MUNITIONS
lBy Associated Press !

Paris May "a, The whole num-
Der of women employed in munition
MAKING in France, according to the
secretary for munitions, is 10g, 300
Of these 26,293 are in state fac
tories A very large proportion have
mad to learn their business from the
beginning.
In other directions the secretary
says the branches to which French
women have mostly taken are food
industries, textiles and the metal
trades, but many also are working in
rubber and at sack-making
French women, the secretary
says learn very quickly. particular
ly the use of the smaller machines
which in some cases they master in
day; and If as class they are not
very strong they are, in compensa-
tion, very handy. Speaking of the
successful way in which the wives of
modified wholesale and retail mer-
chants, shopkeepers and other trad
ers have carried on their husbands
businesses, the secretary explains it
by a fact not very generally known
abroad
"The mobilization of husbands and
male relatives, he says. increased
the responsibility of the wife with
out producing any disorder or crisis
One should know, in fact, that the
family in France is based on close
cooperation between husband and
wife in industrial and commercial
enterprises As a rule the husband
keeps the wife fully informed about
his undertakings and looks on her
generally as his best adviser This
state Of things is one of the great
forces of resistance to national dis
and has not seldom
saved the nation at critical periods
OF its home and foreign history dur
ing past centuries"
After noting that figures show a
return to the normal CON
dition of things in agriculture, cat
tle-raising, and milk products before
the war, the secretary concludes:
Neither the wealth nor the re- /
sisting power Of France, nor its flu
ture position in the world, has been
affected by the unjust aggression |
which was meant fer their destruc-
ton On the contrary. the French |
feel more solidarity than ever, and |

OF SHIPS
(By Associated Press. }

Melbourne, Australia, May 24.-The
Australian apple crop which is unus.
ally big this year is seriously affected
because Of the dearth of ships for
export. In the two chief apple-pro-
ducing state, Tasmania and Victor
ia, nearly 100000 cases of apples
have been harvested. but not mroe
than million cases can be exported.
There will thus be left nearly 4,OOO,-
poo cases of apples from these states
alone, and Australia must eihter eat
them or see them go to waste. There
being some 100000 people in the
commonwealth, every man, woman
and child in the country will have to
eat an apple day regularly for five
months if the. whoe unexportable har-
vest is consumed.
