Supply of Coal
Less Than Demand

An indication of the develop
ment of industrial activity is fur
nished by the continued increase of
the demand for coal.
Corporations for mining ore have
been pushed with vigor. Coal pro-
duction increased greatly in 1914.
On the whole, it still remains less
than it was before the war, since
the invasion has deprived us of the
valleys in the north and the richest
portion of Pas-de-C Calais: but in the
regions where mining is still pos
sible the production exceeds Nv
about 40 per cent the figures for
1913.
"This remarkable increase has
compensated to q certain extent for
the falling off in the importations
of coal from England; nevertheless
it leaves our supply of coal less than
our demand for it.
ITO remedy this insufficiency, and
at the same time to give Our ma
tional industry greater independ-
ence, researches and experiments
have been equally intensified with
a view to employing our hydraulic
resources. In the Alps, in the Ply
renees and in the Central Massif
new installations are under way, and
they have already attracted impor-
tant metallurgic and chemical
plants
"The development of industrial
production has had the result of an
increase in the volume Of CONNER
cial transactions These continue
to look after themselves, and, for
the most part, they are on cash
basis. The gradual resumption of
credit operations which former
years signalized is still on the in
crease. In 1917 the receipts from
commerce were 81 per cent greater
than in 1916. There is notable
pro gression of discounts. while the
total of our delayed payments has
been brought back to LAO, 100000"
A nation that is worn out and
bled white has no colonies, or if she
has, these same colonies are like
wise bloodless and worn out. The
French colonial empire remains in
tact, while the German colonial en-
pire has disappeared from the face
of the earth A nation that is worn
out and bled white has passed the
stage where it can come to- the aid
of others. In her death agony she
has no more than her own strength
to last her during the last hours.
France has been able to come to the
aid Of the other Allies. She has
lent them strong, helping hand;
she has been able to save them from
total extinction. French troops
have fought and are still fighting
OF all the battlefronts; in Italy, the
Balkans. Palestine and Central
Africa. 1t is almost to France alone
and to France especially that the
salvage of the remnant Of the Ser
bian army has been due.
All this shows that the men are
wrong who believe France is with
out strength and resources. Be
meath her torn garments, under flesh
that is cruelty bruised. there beats
: a virile heart which fights on and
on And there is young red blood
which still flows and is always ready
to flow for the immortal principles
of liberty. justice and humanity

Over to the Germans

"This incompatible war industry
has permitted us not only to fight
to defend ourselves and to attack
the enemy but also to supply our
friends, our allies, with the mum
tions necessary TO fight Up to
January. 1918, these are the
amounts of munitions France was
able to hand over to the nations
fighting at her side in Europe:

The Money Raised
By French Loans

Thus, in spite of the war, her in
vaded territoTi es and her modified
citizens, France has in three years
raised three national loans of al
most 1900, 100000 francs in hard
cash. That is three times the
amount of the war indemnity she
paid Prussia in 1871.
A nation worn out and bled white
has no more monetary reserve, no
more funds in its treasury and has
been brought into bankruptcy. The
Bank of France, which is probably
the leading national bank in the
world, whose credit has never weak
ened in the gravest hours of the
nations history, declared on the list
of January, 1918, a gold reserve Of
5,348,OOO, 900 in francs, an increase
Of 100000 over the gold in
hand on January /. 1917. This is
the greatest deposit the bank has
ever had. All this came from the
national resources; the weekly pay
ments are still 100000 francs,
which are paid without compulsion
and without processes.

the American army-amountlng to
several hundred guns per month.
A nation that is worn out and
bled white has an empty treasury
and is no longer able to obtain taxes
from it's ruined citizens. Let us
consider what France has done in
& financial way in this war.
From the LIST Of August, 1914,
to the LIST of January, 1918, the
French Parliament voted war credits
amo uniting to 2O,0O0,0O0,OOO. Of
this enormous fund only two billions
have been borrowed from out
side sources; all the remainder has
been subscribed or paid for by tax
alton or by loans in France itself
More than a billion dollars has been
loaned to her allies by France.
On 1917 France had the heaviest
budget in all her history. The sin
gle item of taxes was raised to
100000 francs $4,000, 000), and
these taxes were paid to the penny,
although 100000 Frenchmen
were modified in the army, in the
factories and on the farms, or were
untaxable in The occupied regions.
In 1915. 1916 and 1917 France
raised three great national loans.
That of 1915 amounted to exactly
13,307,S11,579 francs 40 centimes,
of which COLT, 100000 was paid
in hard cash. That of October,
1916, amounted in round numbers
to 10000 100000 francs, of which
more than 5,OoO,o00,000 was paid
in hard cash. That of December.
1917, amounted to 10,629, 10000
francs. of which 5,254 100000 was
paid in cash.
