Beyond Human Control.

Children were discussing what we'll do when We get big" One wanted to be a milkman and ride around. The second wanted to ride on freight cars and make the round things go." The third could not decide whether to be a minister or a grocer. The fourth child, a girl of eleven. did not care to tell.

$50 FOR DESERTER.

Gov. Marcus H. Holcomb has re. ceived word from Provost Marshall Crowder concerning rewards for deser- ters. The message follows:
 A reward of $50 is payable for the delivery at the nearest army camp, or post, of deserter. This reward is in full satisfaction of all expense incurred in said delivery. A person who fails to report to his local board for military service at the time specified in his order to report is a deserter. A person who fails to report for military service to the adjutant general of the state by the date specified ill the order of the adjutant general to said persons is a deserter. It is highly desirable from every standpoint that an effort now be made to round up all persons who are delinquent in reporting for military service. It is thought that if the fact of reward is given the widest publicity we shall have great force of police officers and even of individuals interested in bringing such delinquents under military control. If after such persons are brought to a military authority, it appears to the military authorities that their delinquency is not wilful, they will be forwarded to a mobilization camp and their local board will be given credit. If it appears that the delinquency was wilful they will be prosecuted before courts mar tial as deserters. In either case the reward is payable.

The increasing activity of her rail- way system Is similarly demonstrable. In 1869, there were in France i0,743 miles of railroad track; in 1912, there were 3l.546 miles
 Between 1S69 and 1912, inland navi- gation increased 1509o; while the traffic of her mercantile marine had amazing. ly expanded. The tonnage entering French ports In 1869 is set down as 100000 tons. In 1912. this had been increased to 53.000.000 tons.
 Leaders in American finance ascribe the solidarity of the French republic to three influences: first. thoroughly sound banking system centralized Tn one nf the greatest banking institutions of the world. the Bank Of France, sec nnd, the ingrained thrift and frugality of the French people as a whole. to- cether with n national economic vigor not elsewhere surpassed; third. wise su. pervision. and patriotic coaperafina by the government with banking and husi- ness interests.
 The government does its part 10 war rant and retain the confidence Of the holders of its securities. One of its wise policies Is to impose new taxes to defray the interest charges on new se- curity issues. 1t began this practice after the Franco-Prussi War, and is today following the same rule in regard to securities issued to finance the pres. ent conflict This continuity of pur- pose, doubtless, will prove reassuring to all holders of French government securities.
 The Franco-Prussian war of 1870 1871 taught the French people tho meaning of thrift and economy. So we'll did they learn this lesson, that the whole sum of the indemnity da. manded by Germany. I.000.o0o.o00. was raised within the republics con-

 With Paris Boulevards echoing with wives for American troops our inter- 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 a ruthless en- emy.
 One of the most important devel- opments is the announcement that one of the largest banking institutions in America concerned with foreign trade, the Guaranty Trust Company of New York, has opened a 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

 In 1914. the year of the outbreak of the War. imports from France to this country totaled $141.446,252. This to- tai was reduced to $77.15S,740 i'll 1915. but last year the value of French im- ports to the United States rose to S102.- orr, ,o60
 "A nation that can achieve such a commercial recovery while her terri tory Is being ravished 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 lems which confront her"
 The commercial and industrial record of France, following past wars, indi- cates that she should recover quickly from the actual physical destruction inflicted in the present conflict.

 The habit thus acquired has never been forgotten by the French. and to- day the aggregate number of investors purchasing the French war loans has reached the amazing total of 4,5O0.0O0 individual subscribers. Perhaps no oth- CT country, in proportion to its popula- ton, can make so good a showing.
 France is particularly fortunate In that her small investors prefer "snfe" investments rather than offerings which promise high returns. Government Rentes. in France are perpetual and thls characteristic seems to obtain for these government bonds increasing fa- vor in the eyes of the French peo- pie.
 The points of sympathy between France and America are too many to enumerate. but the spirit of liberty and its resultant democracy are, today as always. the major ideals of both na- tions.
