RECONSTRUCTION IN FRANCE.
The French Government Plans to
Finance the Work.

Philadelphia. Dec. 12.-To recon
struct the destroyed portions Of
France architecturally as they were
before they were ruined by the Ger
mans is the purpose Of the French
government as outlined by Bernard
J. Shoninger, formerly president OF
the American Chamber of Commerce
at Paris.
The French government plans to
accomplish this by reimbursing lndl-
viduals for their shattered homes,
mills and factories according to their
value before their destruction, Mr..
shoninger recently told the executive
committee of the Philadelphia Cham
Der Of Commerce.
Ultimately, he said, Germany WILL
pay the bill for restoration.
Throughout the war. he added
French boards of appraisers have
been estimating the values Of prop
erty destroyed by the Huns and now
have accurate data. To those VINO de-
sire to rebuild, the French govern
ment will issue indemnity Sbonds up
to 80 per cent of the former value OF
his property While the external 'ap-
pearance of the buildings rebuilt Will
be retained, Mr.. Shoninger said, the
interiors will be constructed in mod
ern, sanitary style.
Referring to the fact that the
French government has made ar
, rangements to purchase materials for
reconstruction by pooling or comoln-
ing its orders, he suggested that
American manufacturers would be
asked to supply some materials and
that they promote the formation OF
selling. combinations so that possible
hugesorders for construction materials
from France could be rapidly asslm1-
lated.

Concerning Peace.

(By Theodosia Garrison of the Vigi

That we have purchased with ire
mendous price,
That we will take.
We have no mind to make a bargain
twice,
No larger gain to make,
But this we buy across the sword:
red blade
We swear shall justify the price We
paid.
Not with small counters did we seel
this thing,
But with the blood
Of youth, mems might and human
suffering
And stricken womanhood-
These to the market CT your wrath
we brought
And we shall have in full the Peace
we bought.
Tricksters and swindlers in the wide
worlds mart,
Not yours to say,
Nor, cringing, still withhold one little
part
For which we pay.
Our dearest treasure in the scale is
cast,
Think you we shall be cheated at
the last?

France Found Her Soul.

You have become forge Of snow
white fire,
A crucible of molten steel, o France.
Your sons are stars who cluster to a
dawn
And fade in light for you, o glorious
France!
AS Joan of Arc amid the apple trees
With sacred JOY first heard the voices
then
obeying plunged at Orleans in field
Of spears and lived her dream and
died in fire
Thou, France, hast heard the voices
and hast lived
The dream and known the meaning OF
the dream,
And read it's riddle: How the soul OF
May to one greatest purpose make
itself
A lens of clearness, how it loves the
cup
Of deepest truth, and how it's bitter
est gall
Turns sweet to souls surrender.

Monks CoWi.

The cowl, or hood, was originally e
covering for the head to protect it
from the inclemency Of the weather,
and was worn by all classes without
distinction. It's ready adaptation to
conceal the features led to its adop-
ton at a very early age by monks
and ascetics. AS these multiplied and
formed themselves into various dis
tinct orders, their hoods assumed a
different fashion in cut, color and ma.
terial. From the monks it passed to
the cathedral and collegiate churches,
and from them to the universities.

Earliest Form Of Shoes.

The earliest shoes known were sans
dals of hide, leather or wood. When
one encounters the word "shoe" in the
Bible he may be sure that it is the
sandal that is commonly meant. In
Egypt the sandal was woven Of palm
leaves and papyrus. AS q symbol Of
the subjection of their enemies the
Egyptians often painted the figures Of
their opponents on the. lining of their
sandals.
