May Be Turned to Production Again il
Five Years.

Paris, March 6.-The damaged indus
tries and the upheaved and exhausted
farm lands of France, it is thought now,
may be restored to their full productive
ness within ii years after the conclusion of
the peace, with the exception of denuded
forests and the most gravely wasted land
in the immediate proximity of the line
where the front has been practically
stationary for more than three years
These are some of the elements upon
which they count to make up for what
France will have lost: Continued and
developed female labor in industries; en-
trance of youths into active business and
industry at an earlier age; greater ac-
tivity and consequent greater productive
capacity of all eategories of workers
and an enormous extension of the use of
modern labor-saving equipment in the
factory and on the farm.
The development of water power will
contribute immensely to Gil the void in
industrial facilities while five years re-
cruits of boys coming to age for active
participation in the country's affairs is
expected to replace at least third of
the wastage in human material.
