The increasing activity of her rail-
way system is similarly demonstrable
In 1869, there were in France 1918
miles of railroad track; in 1912, there
were 31,546 miles.
Between 1869 and 1912, inland navi-
cation increased 1900; 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 100000 tons.
Leaders in American finance ascribe
the solidarity of the French republic to
three influences: first, a thoroughly
sound banking system, centralized in
one of the greatest banking institutions
of the world. the Bank of France; sec
ond, the ingrained thrift and frugality
of the French people as a whole, to-
gether with a national economic vigOr
not elsewhere surpassed; third, wise SUI
perviSion, and patriotic cooperation by
the government with banking and bust
ness interests.
The government does its part to war
rant and retain the confidence of the
holders of its securities. One of it's
wise policies is to impose new taxes to
defray the interest charges on neY Sc
curtty issues. 1t began this practice
after the Franco-Prussian 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 the
meaning of thrift and economy. So
well did they learn this lesson, that
the whole sum of the indemnity de-
manded by Germany, $1,0OOOO0yO00,
was raised within the republics con-
| fines by its own inhabitants and paid
off more than one year before the time
stipulated by the Germans
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 100000
individual subscribers Perhaps no 9TH
er country, in proportion to its popula-
ton, can make so good a showing.
France is particularly fortunate in
that her small investors prefer safe"
investments rather than offerings which
promise high returns. Government
Rentes, in France are perpetual, and
this characteristic seems to obtain for
these government bonds increasing ia
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 ma
tons. Seeking no victories but those
Of peace, no territory except their own,
no sovereignty except sovereignty over
themselves = the independence and
equal rights of the weakest member of
the family of nations are to the people

With Paris Boulevards echoing with

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-

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
bowed under a calamitous invasion
The bank, however, gives figures indi
eating that France is not only meeting
her military and civilian problems will

age, but is re-establishing her expor
business with this country.
In 1914, the year of the outbreak o
the War, imports from France to thi
country totaled Sal, 446,252. This to
tai was reduced to $77,159,74O in 1915

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
lean 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
the debt they owe to France for her
friendly interest in the welfare and
progress Of the United States from
the beginning Of its life as a ma

In judging the industrial status of
any nation, its production and con-
sumption Of coal. iron, and steel and

of the United States and of France en-
titled to as much respect as those Of
the mightiest empire. In defense of
these principles, France is engaged in
death struggle with militant autoc-
racy and ruthless aggression, and 1t is
not surprising to learn that she has
loaned to her allies and to other friend
ly states 1000, 100000 francs with which
to further the cause of democracy. 1t
is in keeping with Americas traditions
that since the date on which We for
mally aligned ourselves with France
and her allies in the great struggle, our
Government has lent to France $780,
100000.
1t is eminently fitting that America
should now be fighting on French soil
to make the world safe for democracy.
The liberty that America has enjoyed
for 140 years France helped her to
achieve. The swords of Lafayette and
Rochambeau, aided by the guns of De
Grasse upon the high seas, assisted in
cutting the foreign ties that bound the
American colonies prior to the War for
Independence, and from the private
purse Of King Louis himself came the
| first loan to America-unsecured and
unconditional-to finance that historic
undertaking. 1t was with entire just
tice that Washington wrote to Rocham-

Meetings were held today at Nor

better sires and build up their herds
that way, saying that method is the
surest and most economical. Ross NJ.

RHEUMATISM PAIN

The exact cause of rheumatism is un-

dine to an excess of uric acid in the blood.
1t may be also said with equal truth that no
remedy has been found which is a specific
in all cases. In fact the literature of rheu-
matism shows that there are but few drugs
hands of one observer we ind that certain
drug has been used with the utmost salts
faction; others have found the same remedy
to be a great disappointment All physI-
clans however agree that every method OF
treatment is aided by the administration of
some remedy TO relieve the pain and quiet
the nervous system and DIR. W. 8. Schultze
expresses the opinion of thousands of prac-
tttioners when he says that anti-kamnia
tablets should be given preference ever all

all forms of rheumatism. These tablets can
be purchased in any quantity. They are
also unsurpassed for headaches, neuralgias
