nually. The French excel in the pro-
duction of fine porcelains, crockery,
glass, cut glass, watches, clocks, soap,
perfumes and gloves. The growing
of flowers for perfumes is a very i'm
portant industry.
About one-ffth of the country is
woodland, of which the Government
owns considerable part. The forests
are in charge of men who have been
trained in State Schools of Forestry.
No timber is allowed to waste, and
many acres are planted with trees
each year. There are forests of oak
which were planted years and years
ago, and not before they reach the
age of 1870 years are they considered
ready to be cut.
They "plant for posterity," and also
build for posterity. When a French
man builds a house he seemingly
builds it to last his family until Judge
ment day.
The railroads are good, but the SER
vice it not at present very good owing
to war conditions. Before the war
the fare was 2 cents per mile for first
class, and one cent for second class,
and the only difference is just mat
ter of cushions.
The water ways are very much
used; the small creeks being convert
ed into canals. They have more than
5000 miles of canals, and six billion
tons of freight was moved by canal
boats in 1914.
The great pride of France is the
wonderful roads, many miles of which
were constructed by the Romans.
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-03-07

The great State roads (Routes Me-
tionales) of which there are $4,000
miles, link Paris with the great CEN
ters, and are kept in repair by State
servants at the expense of the Govern
ment. In addition there are four
other grades of roads, amounting to
400, 900 miles, which are kept up by
the departments and Commrnes.
In some sections the roads are paw
ed with stone blocks, but mainly they
are built up of rock, gravel, and sand
or soil. They have perfect system
of drainage, and fine trees are plant
ed along each side at regular inter
walls.
Repair men are on the roads every
day, each man having section which
he looks after, and patches up the
breaks, andkeeps the drains open. /
don't know of road in Georgia that
would stand this tremendous military
traffic for week.
Day after day, for months, never
ending stream of cars, heavy trucks,
and heavier gun carriages, go pound
ing along, and yet the roads are the
finest that ever saw. However they
are now using the labor of thousands
of German prisoners, Chinese coolies,
and even some of our American boys
to keep them so. This soil is of a
soft rotten loan, and there is no such
thing as driving truck across fields.
The Germans were smart enough to
take advantage of this fact, when
they retired from before Verdun, in
order to prevent the Allies from fol-
lowing them too close, they covered
the roads with about three feet of soft
dirt for miles, which had to be moved
before guns or anything else could
travel. You asked about their reli-

She babe me good night and left
the room. Doubtless it was the out
ragged, departed spirit of that golden
time which was haunting the old
squire. A Bible lay on the table near
me and sat reading it for an hour or
so. A tall clock in a corner solemnly
tOlled the hour of nine. In came the
tall woman and asked me in the
brogue Of the Irish:

The way she held me to her breast
and patted my shoulder and said my
boy in a low, faint, treble voice so
like that of a child--it is one of the
best memories that take with me into
the new life now so near, from which
there Is no returning.
She led me into the house. She
looked very neat now-in a black
gown over which was a spOtlesS white
apron and collar Of lace-and much
more slender than when l had seen
her last. She took me into a large
room in the front Of the house with a

to meet her by the big pine tree on the
river bank at eleven o'clock the third
of June, 1874 We are looking for
ward to that day"
A tall, Slim woman entered the room
then and said that supper was ready.
Kate rose with smile and | followed
her into the dining room where two
tables were spread. One had certain
dishes on it and a white cover, frayed
and worn. She led me to the other
table which was neatly covered with
snowy linen. The tall woman served
a supper on deep blue china, cooked
as only they could cook in old New
England Meanwhile could hear the
voice of the aged squire-a weird,
empty inhuman voice it was, utterly
cut off from his intelligence. 1t came
out of the troubled depths Of his
misery.
SO that hOuse-the scene of his
great sin which would presently lie
down with him in the dust-was flood
ed, a hundred times a day, by the I'M
happy spirit of its master. In the
dead of the night / heard it's despair
echOing through the silent chambers.
Kate said little as we ate, or as we
sat together in the shabby, great room
after supper, but she seemed to enjoy
my talk and I went into the details of
my personal history.
The look on her face, even while I
vas speaking, indicated that her
thoughts wandered, restlessly, in the
gloomy desert of her past. | thought
Of that gay, birdiike youth of hers Of
which the old man with the scythe
had told me, and wondered. AS I was
thinking Of this there came cry from
the aged squire so loud and dOleful
that it startled me and I turned and
looked toward the open door.
Kate rose and came to my side and
leaned toward my ear whispering:
