FRANCE MAyFAVOR
WAR COST DIVISION
Measure Also Considered in
Britain for Financial
Union of Nations.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PARIS, Sunday, December l5.-The
French government is considering,
with probability of presenting be-
fore the. chamber of deputies on De-
cember "a. a bill proposed by Deputy
Jacques Stern, establishing among the
allies an international financial union.
The purpose Of this union would be
to distribute the expenses Of the war
between the nations on the basis OF
population and power to contribute.
The proposition is supported by one
hundred delegations of all parties. II
is understood that a similar plan is
under consideration by the British
government, but no definite steps have
as yet been taken in London.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-12-17
Expenses Estimated.

1t is estimated that the expenses OF
the allies totaled 424, 000. 000. 900 francs.
while the central powers expenses
aggregated 1000, 000, 900 francs
Annual budgets at per cent, with
a one-half of one per cent premium for
amortization. would total more than forty
billion francs. To avoid international
bankruptcy, it is declared that such
an association is necessary to 1oat an
international loan estimated at 3d.
0oQ, 000, 900 francs, tobe distributed on
a basis of population and production
Each state would guarantee its pro-
portion from customs and other reve-
nueS.
NJ Stern, the author of the Dill,
hopes that the peace conference viii
adopt the plan, at least in principle.
leaving a special commission to ar
range the details.

not heretofore included in the draft
age limits. or approximately one
and one-third as many men as were
registered on June o. 1917. And,
when this has been done. draft calls
upon the new class one must start
% nh the places in the training
camps OF those men going 10 France.
Assured of Quick Action.
Assurance having been given
that the legislation will receive i'm
mediate consideration on the as
sem bling OF the house and OF the
senate. this Office in its preliminary
instru ctions sent out 10 draft eX-
ecutives IN the various states has
proceeded on the assumption that
the new registration might be held
early i'm September. If, for example
the bill is passed By Aug 81 or soon
thereafter. IL would be necessary for
the presidents proclamation TO fix
a registration date as soon as pos
sible, allowing ample time 10 be
given for posting this proclamation
i'm every region OF the country. Thus,
registra tion day might be as early as
sept 8 or shortly thereafter. To
have the first installment of the new
class one ready for camp by October
it would be necessary TO have the
registra ton not later than Sept. 10.
I'm any event IL is obvious that we
cannot wait until the act is passed
before beginning the preliminary
work i'm this vast undertaking
Public Asked TO Cooperate.
Entirely aside from the powers
which the new law may confer on
the government, it is essential that
the public shall accord the fullest
measure Of cooperation, and the war
department has implicit confidence
that the response of the men who
VIII be required 10 register under
the new law will be as patriotic and
as complete as that which marked
the registration on June 3, 1917.
Fundamentally the processes of the
selective draft rest upon the prin-
cirle of heroic sacrifice that has
made of the American army in this
war an establishment faithful to the
best traditions of the American peo-
pie. now as IN the previous regis
tration the manhood of America is
to be given opportunity 10 demon
strate its undying loyalty 20 the re-
public and TO manifest its faith in
those principles of free government
for which the civilized nations Of
the world are battling in the most
momentOus war Of the ages"
Local Boards Instructed.
Existing draft machinery in the
different states will be used TO en-
roll the 100000 men, Gen.
Crowder said, with such additional
registrars as may be necessary. The
actual registration will be made in
the customary voting precincts with
in the jurisdiction of each board.
The boards have been requested 70
appoint Immediately one or more
registrars for each precinct within
their jurisdiction on the basis of
probably one registrar for each so

PRAYING PALM TREE DEAD
Used to Prostrate Itself in the Evening
While Temple Bells
Rang.

The praying palm tree OF Faridpur
about which certain interesting facts
were published. Is dead. Ii may be
remembered that this tree used 10 pros.
trate itself in the evening while the
temple bells rang, calling the people
TO prayer. and 1t erected It's head In
the morning. This process was repeat
ed every day, TO the bewilderment OF
thousands of Hlndus, who naturally
came to look upon 1t as the abode Of
some "devata" (god). Hundreds of
fered pujahs to the unknown "devata,
which all went to ill the pockets Of
the owner of the tree. Miraculous
cures were reported as n result of pu
jah offerings.
The curious phenomenon attracted
after much difficulty, obtained permis
sion Of the owner of the tree to inves
tlgate the matter He devised special
instruments-all of swadeshi manufac
ture-and began to take records. lie
found that the palm tree fell with the
rise of temperature and rose with its
fall. Records obtained with other
trees brought out the hitherto unsus
pected fact that all trees were moving
such movements being in response to
changes in their environment.
Sir j. G. Bose holds the opinion tina:
the whole of the vegetable world, m
Guiding rigid trees, perceive the
changes In their environment and re
spond TO them by unmistakable signals
They thrill under light and become de
pressed by darkness the warmth OF
summer and frost of winter, drought
and rain, these and many other hap
penings leave a subtle impression OF
the life Of the plant"

Soldiers cobbIer XII.

Our soldier boys learn many things
besides actual soldering. When they
return To their prosaic tasks after the
war, there will be many bank clerk.
for instance, who Will be eligible to
join the cohhers' union. OF course
there are shoe-repair stations all along
the lines of battle, but so much de-
ponds upon the condition of his shoes
and his consequent foot-comfort, that
most of the boys carry Il little cob
hlerS' kit and make small repairs them
selves. The Kit consists primarily of
a hollow handle. the top of which UNI
screws 10 disclose the awl, Screwdriyer,
cobblerS' lacks, and other essentials
for repair work. At the opposite end
of the device Is spool of waNcd Irvine,
which threads Immediately into the
awl when the awl Is screwed into
place. When some other tool, such as
a Screwdriver or knifeblade. is 10 be
used, 1t is screwed Into place instead
OF the awl. In addition to his shoes
the soldier may mend his torn leggings
and his saddle straps.
