The Ninth street paving project,

workmen on the job, is now ad-
vanced so it can be completed in

Cement base has been laid as far

few hundred feet yet to be put in.
Brick has been laid from Eigh-
teenth avenue to as far as Forty
third avenue Laying eight or nine
blocks of brick is the main portion
of the work yet to be completed.
City officials desire the. paving to
be completed before cold weather,
otherwise, the main artery to the
city will be INSTRUCTED till spring.
Enough material is on the ground
and all now depends on the wealth
er and the number Of workmen
available On some occasions but
three or four men have been work

London. June 2s.
Coming away from France after so.
tourn OF five months and looking back
from this side Ct the Channel. one feels
Increased confidence that the French
people will be equal to all emergencies.
They are bracing themselves for the i'm
pending attack which the enemy is ex-
pected to make.
Preparations for possible withdrawal
of civilians from the capital have been
going forward under dLr eyes for weeks,
absolutely without panic and with that
spirit of painstaking conservation which
is peculiarly French. 1t Is all the more
wonderful. when one remembers that
the French endured enough to kill any
other two nations when Germany
brought everything from the east and.
fitting out her full force with all the
devils own inventions. launched It full
at the defenders heart.
On all sides a person returning from
France is asked what will happen II Paris
falls. AS the French are not afraid to
stand up and look this possibility in the
face, no one else need be.
France win Stick
France will stick under all circum-
of agony to weaken now. But she is
practical as we'll as heroic. She knows
that she has furnished the battle-ground
and the backbone for This great stand
for civilization. She has earned the
good will of the world. and can under
take the huge task of rebuilding with
everybody ready TO help her in such
ways as her self-respect will permit her
to accept.
Then there is the Clemenceau govern
nent which has stood like rock in
the recent storms. Perhaps. without
that old-timer. France lacked the means
to give administrative expression to her
faith and courage to meet whatever
might befall.
American Aid Vital
One more thing was necessary to give
France the strength to go through
American help. 1t came. and how
strong winged and splenddly opportune
was its coming
Even in these last few months. when
Paris has been constantly under the fire
of long-range guns and air raiders and
at times brute force in monstrous forms
peered in at the very gates of the. capi-
tai. France has never lost her tram
auillity. and those who were best in
formed were sure of her. Even now she
is ready to contribute her share to hold
any any line. however far west the Ger
man pressure may thrust It.
In England the events of the last few
days have created hopes more than opti-
mistic Until the boche jumps from
the springboard again nobody dares to
predict without knocking on wood, but
in their hearts all feel that at last the
tide has definitely turned.

the Allies, but the tables have been
