Prices Soar In
France Where
US. TrOOpSAre
French Believe American
Prodigality Is Mostly
To Blame.

Paris. France. Sept. S.-(Correspond-
ence Of The Associated Press-) THE
attitude Of the French population to-
ward the Americans today is in the
highest degree friendly. There is.
however. a factor which holds IN
pleasant possibilities and which
comes into play in regions occupied by
the Americans. That is the belief in
the mind Of the noncommerciaI French
population that the sharp rise in the
cost Of living is chiefly due TO the
prodigality Of the American troops.
The rise in the cost Of living in
France has been IS percent in the
zone OF the interior and 50 percent in
the zone Of the armies. since the be-
ginning OF 1917. Where Americans
are found in great numbers the in
creased prices have reached q point
which the authorities term as AN
gushing and which provoke among
the noncommercial population a sharp
discomfort.
The American committee on public
informa ton. Of which James Kerney
IS the director in France, has made an
Investigation Of the matter and 10 has
come to the conclusion that there are
three reasons for the rise in the cost.
of living in the REGIONS occupied by
American troops. They are:
The normal interplay Of supply and
demand
The desire on the part OF trades
peoDle for immoderate gain.
The prodiCality or Americans.
To Punish Extortiou.
The French authorities are consid-
erlnE vigorous application OF the law
which provides punishment for unjus-
tifia5Ie extortion.
The authorities are seriously con-
cerned at the possibility that the
Americans may carry away from
France the idea that the typical
Frenchman Is a greedy and indif-
ferent " mercantL"
On the other hand. the American
committee on public information has
suggested TO the American authorities
that they cooperate with he French in
keeping down the cost OF living as
much as possible. Tt has been sug-
gested that American action might
profitably be directed at once to
reduction in the prodigality OF the
troops.
