est in the welfare OF our ally vastly
increases, and the facts are not lack
ing to encourage the belief that she is
already on the road TO recovery from
the blow of invasion by O ruthless ell
envy.
One Of the most important devel-
opments is the announcement that
II OF the largest banking institutions
in America concerned with foreign
trade, the Guaranty Trust company
of New York, has opened Il Paris
branch to handle the rapidly increas-
Ing volume Of French business.
This action may surprise many per-
sons who had thought of France >as
bowed under q calamttous invasion:
The bank, however, gives tiguresSndi-
eating hat France is not only neeting
her military and civilian problems with
q stout heart and never failing couE-
age, but is re-establlshing her export
business with this country.
In 1914, the year Of the outbreak of
the war, imports from France TO this
country totaled S141,446,252. This to-
tai was reduced to $77,15S, TAO in 1913,

ga nation that can achieve such a
commercial recovery while her terri
tory is being ravislied by the invader"
says the Trust company's statement,
possesses recuperative powers which
Justify the belief that she will emerge
from the present conflict prepared TO
meet and solve triumphantly the prob
TENS which confront her."
The commercial and industrial rec
ord Of France, following past wars, In
dicates that she. should recover quickly
from the actual physical destruction
inflicted In the present conflict. The
reconstruction OF railroads, the erection
of factories to replace those destroyed,
and the replacement Of the mechanism
of industrial activity that will be re-
Quired and that is In part already
planned, offer a peculiarly inviting
field TO American capital and enter
prise. Tentative steps have already
been taken by representatives of Amer
lear engineers and business men in this
work.
Aside from its attractive business
aspect, the enlistment of American
money and effort In the great task OF
reconstruction that will remain at the
end of the war will tend TO cement still
more closely the ties that bind the two
great republics together, and will en-
able Americans TO discharge In part

In judging the industrial status OF
any nation. its production and con
sumption of coal, iron, and steel ant
the growth of its transportation sys
TENS are highly significant factors.
In 1869, French industries consumed
81 million tons of coal. of which 49,
millions were taken from home mines
In 1912. the consumption was 81 mil
lions, of which IL million tons Were
taken from home mines.
In 1860, the French output Of cas-
iron was 1,3so.0oo tons. and Of steel
100000 tons. In 1914, France pro
duced 5.311.000 tons Of cast iron am
