French Leader Thinks Losses
and Sacrifices of Nation
Call for Special Con-
sheraton.

Paris, Jan. Former Premier
and Minister of Finance Alexandra
kibot said TO the Associated Press
yesterday that the financial situation
OF all the nations associated against
the Germanic coalition must at the
cnd OF their effort be adjusted with
due regard for the efforts and sac
iitices made by each, taking into
account their respective resources
aud their ability TO pay. He de-
CARED that i'll the accounting, sacri-
fees and losses of man power must
figure along with OUTLAWS in money
and damages sustained.
Germany and its associates in the
war, said NJ Rlbot, must pay, ac-
cording to their resources, in addi-
ton to their own war debts, share
OF the expenditures of the entente
Coalition over and above the dam
"2e" they nave caused TO the lnvad-
ed countries.
IN view of the fact that France
was the principal battlefield apd fur
rushed by far the greatest effort and
sustained the greatest losses in pro-
portion to its population, NJ. Ribot
holds that it should have priority in
the claims upon Germany for in
demnity.
That indemnify" he added, mus
be considerable. But ii ought not
to be so big as to place the Ger
mar people in sort of servitude
for prolonged period. That would
eventually engender further strife,
which is precisely what the peace
congress will aim to make unneces-
sary and impossible"

Our Most Important Linen Sale

T A sale that has always been an event
of particular Importance to every con-

more than usually important owing to
the peculiar conditions that have existed

the manufacturer, the wholesaler and
the retailer, are exceedingly scarce, and
present prices on the small available
supply are quite impossible.
So you, like ourselves, can fully appreci-

forward for this sale. We have had
them stored in the bonded warehouse,
