Congressman Seaborn Ruddenbury
OF Georgia gently smiled when the
talk topic dwelt on the lord and mas

he was reminded OF little Johns visit
TO the zoo.
While rambling around among the
animals with his father one afternoon,
so ran the story OF the congressman,
little Johnny came TO a miniature lake
on which two swans We're swimming.
"Papa," said Johnny. pointing a
chubby little finger out owe the lake,

"As regards personal property of every descrlp-
ton, either destroyed by battle or stolen Dy inc
Germans, there stands an additional loss OF ut

personal property does not include-as dennite
figures are lacking as yet-the countless war con-
tributions and fines by the enemy, amounting also
to billions.

no AGRICULTURAL resources are left. The losses in
horses and in cattle, bovine and bovine species,
hogs. goats amount to 100000 head-ln agricul-
tural equipment to 464,000 machines or carts-the
two items worth together 6,OOO,0OO,OOO francs.
"Now as regards industries, the disaster is even
more complete. These districts occupied by the
Germans and whose machinery has been method
,cally destroyed or taken away by the enemy,
were, industrially speaking, the very heart OF
France. They were the very backbone OF our
production, as shown In the following startling
figures:
ain 1913 the wool output Of our invaded regions
amounted to "a per cent of the total French pro-
duction. And corresponding figures were: For
flax from the spinning mills, 30 per cent, iron ore.
90 per cent pig iron, S3 per cent steel, 20 per
cent; sugar, 40 per cent; cotton, 60 per cent; coal,
SO per cent; electric power. 40 per cent. OF all
that, plants, machinery, mines, nothing is left.
Everything has been carried AWAY or destroyed
by the enemy. So complete is the destruction
that, In the case of our great coal mines In the
north, two years of work will be needed before a
single ton of coal can be extracted. and ten years
before the output is back to the figures of 1913,
"An that must be rebuilt. and to carry out thar
kind OF reconstruction only there will be a need
of over 100000 tons of pig iron. nearly 100000
tons of steel-not to mention the repleniShing Of
stocks and OF raw materials which must Of neces-
sity be supplied to the plants during the first year
of resumed activity. If we take into account
