WAR NOT LOST HAD
HUNS TAKEN PARIS
Mile. TaiIIandier Tells Park
{. View Residents France :.
Would Have Fought On.
RECOUNTS ACHIEVEMENTS

Had the Germans reached Paris in
1914. or even this year at the time
the American marines stopped them at
Chateau Thierry. it would not have
meant the end of the war as far as
France was concerned, Mile. Saint
Rene Taillandier of France told a large
gathering of Park View residents last
night. The French were prepared to
establish new bases and fight until
victory should come; they found hope
I'm the desperateness of their will,
she said.
Mile. Saint Rene Taillandier. who is
staying at the Food Administration
Club, 170S l street northwest. during
a brief visit in the capital, was the
guest OF the Park View Citizens As
ISOLATION, which met at the Park View
School. Newton and Warder streets.
She was much interested in seeing the
branch post Office in this school, the
first post Office to be established in q
school building in the United States.
Brings Favorable Comment.

I1unty center and a sto-ehouse for
fcodstuffs that are delivered to the
residents OF the community at re-
diced rates. through the post office
motor truck service elected favorable
comment from the visitor.
Industrial achievements by France
since the start of the war were re-
counted by the speaker. When Ger
lnany violated Belgium's treaty and
attacked France on her unprotected
front she seized the richest portion
of the republic which, though repre-
senting only per cent of the total
area of France, paid % per cent of the
taxes. She said. Germany at that time
had o.000 machine guns: France but
2 500. Germany had the greatest
equipment of heavy artillery of any
ration in the world: Frence but 800
heavy guns. In addition, France lost
all but 80 of her nearly 200 blast fur
naceS.
But the French went to work. They
developed water power in the noun
tains to take the place of the coal ac-
quired by the Germans. When the war
ended they hal increased their daily
output of shells for the famous 15s
from 1880 to 1S0. 600 i day; they had
multiplied their equipment of machine
Guns by seventy; they had wrought
literally an industrial miracle and
turned France practically into a fac
tory, she said.
Civilians Still Face Fight,
o. She made an indirect appeal for food
conpervation in this country when she
declared that the soldiers have finish
81 their fight. but that the civilians
/; ave not finished theirs.
George FL. Russell. president of the
ssociation. who presided, told the
meeting that the saving of food is
imperatively demanded If the hui
unitarian purposes which took
nrerica into the war are to be full
l.iled.
The association adopted resolutions
protesting against the proposed in
crease in case rates and favoring
universal transfers. especially the es-
transfer point at nth street and
