A scientist attached to one of the bureaus at Washington has been en gagged in measuring the height of the clouds by photography. Simultaneous pictures of cloud were made by two cameras placed 600 feet apart and connected by telegraph wires. From the amount of displacement of the cloud caused by viewing il alternately from each end of the 600 feet base line its height could be calculated. Some of the mack erel sky" clouds photographed were seven and a quarter miles high. The loftiest coulds whose elevation was thus measured belonged to the type known as circus, of "curl clouds" the height of which was a little more than seventeen miles.

spondent to the President. The latter
seated himself at the small desk, n
pile of official documents at his elbow.
The whole tone OF the conversation
was permeated with the Presidents
friendly feeling toward America.
In response to a suggestion that
the French are modest to the point Of
retlcence, the President replied:
Since the war Frenchmen have felt
this Is time for acts. not words.
Set upon without warning, France
was forced to bear the brunt Of the
fighting. | think the figures Of the
Under Secretary OF state for PEN
sions. NJ. Abrami, tell the story more
graphically than mere words"
(Frances total losses to the end Of
October were 1,s3l,OOO. or nearly 5
per cent. Of its population. making
Frances casualties the heaviest, pro-
portionately, OF any belligerent)
IN addition to our losses in men,"
he continued, ut will take years TO
recover from the purely material set
back. That Is why Germany must
pay not only important indemnIties,
but must settle for billions OF francs
worth of property destroyed OF car
ried off.
Entire industrial districts have
been wiped out and whole cities
razed. Germany must not be per-
mitted to get ahead OF us by start
ing up her own factories while we are
struggling to rebuild ours, which she
destroyed. She carried off our ma
chinery: she must build other ma
chlncry 10 replace II. She destroyed
our factories; she must furnish ma
terials to rebuild them. She de-
molshed French homes and took the
furniture away. The people cannot
wait forever 20 have their homes re-
built ana refurnished, The Germans
must aid in this task"
Poincare was very generous In mis-
praise Of American soldiers.
"They came 10 our aid at critical
moment" he said They put tell
ing weight In the scales. Wherever
| have been have discovered the
friendiest feeling between them and
the inhabitants, whether in the city or
in the country,
"our people and your people seem to
have something in common. This Is
due perhaps partly to the similarity
OF our institutions and ideals, but un,
derneath there seems TO be a kindred
mental makeup.
Il am sure the gallantry OF tho
Americans In France has cementcc
the friendship between the two coun.
