but their love of the French was

people of France did not understand
the Roosevelt scheme. 1t perplexed
and worried them. They would have
interpreted its adoption as a sign
that OR government did not have suf-

people to help France in the regular
way, or that the American people
were so opposed to the war that Presi-
dent Wilson was compelled to fall
back upon private initiative and en-
terprisc for military cooperation with
the Entente Powers. 1t was only
when kilograms from Washington an
nounced that Gen Pershing would
command the first troops sent to
France, and that these troops would
be an official American army, that the
French realized the significance of

BEET POINTERS

The main difficulty in growing beets
in the fall is to get the seed to come
up. They require considerable mois-

your land in rows two feet apart
Then open this bed with a narrow
scooter, drop the seed and tramp them
in closely along the whole row with
your foot. If you are careful to see
that your seed so into dar1p soil in a

French Finances Unshaken.
French finances have been unshak-
en- by the war in the opinion expressed
/ to the Associated Press by Charles
Glide, of the University of Paris, an
! eminent authority on economic ques-
tions, discussing the outlook at the
beginning of the fourth year of the
conflict.
France can stand another year of
war outlay quite as well as she stood
the third year. 1t would be embar-
RAISING for her to pay in gold for
everything bought abroad, but this
difficulty was relieved by The credit
generously granted by the United
States.
"France will get through the war
financially sound, will reconstruct her
industries rapidly and her interior sit
uation will be liquidated without caus-
ing any economic unheaval." Refer
ing to the situation of other belliger-
ents, M. eide said:
Il do not think any country will be
ruined by the war. All are more or
less in the same position as France.
The only real drain upon their re-
sources is what they pay a!rsad. The
best expenditure is that which might
be called fictions; that is, the transfer
of money from the pockets of some
citizens to the pockets of others.
transfer in which great many new
fortunes have been built up, but in
which the real riches of the country
have been left untouched"
Referring to the economic measures
to be taken after the war and to the
complaints by Germany of an effort
by her enemies to ruin her economic
ally, M. eide said:
'The talk of an economic war after
the belligerents lay down their arms
has almost subsidized. | consider it
neither possible nor useful for Ger
many to be crushed commercially. She
will be vanquished on battlefield, her
military power will be crushed, put
she will be left free to work out her
own economic destiny"
