Three Reasons

An ingenious mind can find a hun
dred reasons for this condition, but
three of the hundred will suffice to
explain. First, Paris is a world
center to degree it has never been
before in all it's wonderful history ::
second, the permanent population of
the city has increased by at least
100000 since the war began; and,
third, there has been no building
worth talking Of since August, 1914,
and there is no immediate prospect
of construction being undertaken.
Let us take these three reasons in
their order.
Not much need be said about Paris
as a world center. The last wear
has seen the coming of innumerable
delegations to the peace conference,
who requisitioned hotels and rented
apartments at figures impossible to
the individual without state funds
behind him. Then came a gradual
loosening Of passport restrictions,
seized upon by business men of
all nations anxious to be first in
the field. Later began the invasion
of those seeking a sight Of the last
resting place of loved ones fallen
in battle and of the greater number
drawn by simple curiosity to see
what mans inhumanity to man had
cost the world. To-day the peace
delegations are drifting away-un-
wept, unhonored and unsung-but
the business men, the bereaved
parents and relatives and the sight
seers are flooding in, not in single
files but in battalions. The flood

BY Wilmott Lewis
Paris, October so, 1919.

"HIS is translation of a
statement issued by real
Il estate and renting agency of
Paris, which tells dismal
tale eloquently enough:
ut Is useless to ask us to find an
apartment at less than 5000 francs
a year. Notwithstanding the wide
scope of our organization, notwith-
standing our relations with owners
and agents of apartment buildings,
with architects and proprietors, we
can find nothing-or next to nothing
at less than 5000 francs. Every
thing is takenl We regret this deep
]y, but we believe it better not to
encourage vain hopes"
Let not the American who reads
this and who divides 5000 by, say,
nine to find that it means less than
$500 year, let not this American
carry away q wrong impression
Rents in Paris have never been what
they are in big American cities. The
apartments at 5000 francs here re-
ferred to are the small three-room-
and-kitchenette apartments for
which, before the war, 1000, 1900,
$500 and 1900 francs a year was
asked, according to location. To-day
they are at 5000 francs-and at that
figure they cannot be found!
Paris is as full as an uptown SUBJ
way train between s and z in the
evening. 1t is more like a sardine
can than a city.

is too great to be stopped by a wall
of high prices. 1t has overlooked
this wall and is swapping the city
AS for the increase in the perma-
nent population Of Paris, it has
been recruited from the devastated
north. When the Germans de-
scended upon certain provinces of
France and laid them waste, they
drove before them the shrewdest,
the most enterprising and the hard
est working of the French people,
A cloud of these settled upon Paris,
not to be idle, not to pass their time
in repining, but to set sturdily
place for themselves, as is the way
about the business of making a
Of the northern folk. AT Ter nearly
five years of war more than half
million of these have so deeply
rooted themselves in Paris that they
will remain. They are settled, they
have their homes and they are gain
ing living.
So that Paris has not only taken
to herself a large number of for
eigners-with a myriad more to
come-but has found room and oc-
cupation for great army Of French
people over and above her pre-war
population. They must have
shelter, whether hotels, houses or
apartments, and it would seem
natural that the business of pro-
viding this shelter should at once
be undertaken. But here we come
to the third of the reasons, set out
above, which has certain curious
and interesting features.
1t is easy to understand that
house building in Paris came
abruptly to an end in August, 1914,
but why has it not been resumed
The answer is, first, that there is
all the devastated North to be re-
built, and that effort is naturally de-
fected thereto; the raw materials
and labor are scarce beyond belief
and have increased Enthusiastically in
price, and that real estate does not
yet offer sufficient attractions to the
Frenchman with money to invest.
Rising Rates
Before the war the Frenchman
put his savings or his earnings into
rentes-gilt-edged stocks of various
kinds, whether government or mu-
nicipal-which brought him in a Ger
tain 215, or perhaps 3% per cent.
If his temperament and his means
took him into the more venturesome
field Of real estate he expected more
for his investment. He asked and Sc
cured what the French call "a good
per cent" which means 6 per cent
and shade better.
To-day this is changed. The
Frenchman has gotten used to
rate of interest for his security
holdings that makes the pre-war re-
turns seem small. He can get per
cent and more for his money with
out trouble, and his attitude to-
ward real estate has been profound
ly modified. One Of the best known
architects in Paris told The Tribune
recently:
"There will be no money for con-
struction in the city until the man

leaders at Madison and he is starting

ued under the direction Of the County

KenOsha Leads America in
Answering Cry of the
Fatherless Children
of France.
KANSAS CITY IS SECOND
Kenosha BY Adopting sos Orphans
Takes Three and Half Times Her
Announcement of New
Honor Roll Made at Meeting.

In answering the cry Of the Father
less Children of France, Kenosha leads
the nation By adopting three and a
half times her quota. she has done more
proportionately thar any other city in
the United States. Her nearest com
petitor is Kansas City with subscrip-
tion of three times its quota.
This announcement that Kenosha
ranks first in this great work of
carrying on'' the task of French
heroes, was made recently by Mrs.
George Eddy, treasurer Of the commit
tee for the Fatherless Children of
France at meeting of the Advisory
Board Of the Woman Committee of
the County Council of Defense. Keno
sha's record is confirmed by a letter
from the national committee which
commends this city on her great work.
Two years ago when Kenosha began
her work of finding parents for the
war orphans Of France, 138 children
were assigned to Kenosha as her quota.
Today Kenoshans have adopted sos
children giving this city percentage
of more than $50. Kenosha was lead
ing with very high percentage up to
the time Of the recent drive in Kansas
City which brought that city up to Sec
ond place with three times its quota.
The honor which is now held by this
city is q tribute to the untiring energy
of Mrs. George Milne, as chairman of
the Fatherless Children of France Com
mittee in Kenosha and her eorps of
helpers. Under her leadership Keno
sha not only has led the nation in
over adopting her quota, but it has
also gained honors for being one of the
first cities of the nation in volunteers
ing help to the war orphans.
The Patriots Fund is also entitled
to its share of the honor, inasmuch as
at one meeting by single vote the
subscribers to the fund became the
parents of two hundred war sufferers
of France and thus accounted for Ke-
nosha's quota. Individual adoptions,
however, have added to this total and
have brought Kenosha to first place.
''The best is not good enough for
Kenosha," was the comment of one
worker today, when told that this city
was now first in helping the war orp-
hans of our sister republic. "We only
need forty-four more adoptions to give
us a record of quadrupling our quota
and I believe that we can find that
many more foster parents in Kcnosha.
Since America has learned how much
France has given for our cause as well
as theirs, Americans have been anxious
to repay it in every way possible and
Kenosha is ready to do her part. We
shall have another report before long
and the cry of these forty-four will
not be unanswered.

May Be Requested at

The Day. has dawned for Keno
sha nurses. With Nursing Survey
Week, which began this morning, they
are to be given new and larger oppor-
tunities for intelligent service, not only
in wartime, but also on occasions of
emergency, such as "epidemic, flood,
fire, tornado, shipwreck'. And in
order that this intelligent service,
may be intelligently organized and in
telligently directed, practical, under
graduate, and graduate nurses as well as
nursing attendants will be registered.
The latter movement began some
time ago when questionnaires were
mailed to all of Kenosha' IS nurses. This
is the last week Of grace for the return
of these documents and local CANCELS
of mercy'' are reminded that a ma
tional statute requires some response
in this matter.
sIt's not merely personal affair, y
said DR.. Helen Harbert this morning.
Tt IS part of Uncle Sam Is ! achinery
of war and cannot lightly be dismissed.
There's nothing binding about the ques-
tionnaire. lit merely catalogues the
nurses and let's the government know
what they can do in case they are
badly needed. From the information
which it will furnish, officials may know
where they stand at times Of epidemic
or disaster and may lay their plans
accordingly.
DR.. Harbert is in charge of Nursing
Survy Week nd its attendant activi-
ties in Kenosha county. She has given
the work a great deal of time and at
tention and is anxious to see it sue
ceed largely in this locality. That
is the reason she is so earnestly solicit
ing IN immediate return of the ques-
tionnaires.
eff we had only done this a year
ago, she commented today, 1--WE
would not have had so many, many
deaths from influenza. Hundreds and
hundreds Of it's victims died because
of lack of attention, not because there
were not enough nurses, but because
their activities were not properly or

that to happen again. It's too costly.

themselves a part of the new system
and furnish us with the data that
we need

tionnaires, correctly filed In and sign
ed, she will mail receipts TO the nurses
in the form of "registration cards. =
These will relieve them Of further re-
sponsibility for the present and will as

part for Country and Humanity.

added, "and we believe Kenosha nurses
will respond with all the patriotism
and efficiency that has characterized
their work at home and abroad.n
