Paris, Feb. -(Correspondence of the Associated Press s)-France, as a result of the war. finds itself short of 5000 locomotives and 1000 cars while the transportation material that is still nominaIly on the active list is badly out of repair. The shortage of rolling stock has become very acute lately for the number of IOcomo otives and cars out of commission for var i0us defects has increased since July last by 10 and 30 per cent respect lively.
 To meet the growing difficulties in the matter of repairs the state muni- ton factories at Lyons, Toulouse and Roanne have since the armisuce, been turned with all speed into rail- way repairing shops.
 The French government has long hesitated to place orders in the United States. where alone new rolling stock could be procured, for fear of depress- ing the French rate of exchange un- duly; but the country's needs be- came so pressing that orders have now been given, it is understood, for purchasing 500 locomotives and 32,- 900 cars, while 27,00O American cars that were to have been shipped to France for the use of the American Expeditionary Force have also been acquired.
 Perhaps the biggest task before the French transportation experts is the restoration of the destroyed railway tracks in the invaded parts of France. An army of 75,OOO workers will be en- gagged on this great work for months. It includes the reconstruction of 14 tunnels and 16,O00 bridges, for which 50, 900 tons of metal are required.
 In addition, hundreds of miles of main and branch lines have been temporarily "borrowed" for military purposes from elsewhere, and must now be re1aid.
 The departments affected have been divided up into sections, for each of which a "Chief reorganizer'' has been appointed. Each of them has been required to give an undertaking that he will have his section in proper working order as regards transporta- tion. in the course of the present year.
 An appropriation of 120.OOO.OOn francs has been made by the govern ment to enable the railway companies to purchase rolling stock for urgent public needs. The minister of public works has declared that, in his view the restoration of Frances Northern and Eastern railway systems should be made a first charge upon the war Indemnity to be paid by the enemy.

London. Feb. -tCorrespondence of the Associated Press) was when Americans harassed by the ser want problem, came to England to i've. Here they could keep house in peace and sing the virtues of English domestics. making com parisons based on experience in the United States with servants of every race and color They declared that from housekeeper and cook-general to nurse and be- tween maid the English serving women had no peers-they worked harder, better, longer hours, and with more willingness and for less pay than servants in any other part of the world.
 Now many of these Americans are returning home. They have not modified their notions about English servants. but they simply cannot hire them any more. England, as a result of the war, is having her own servant problem
 The trouble began when the servant girls f1ocked into wa" work House. holders were greatly inconvenienced and large numbers closed up their dwellings and moved into hotels. Oth- CTS did their own work, expecting the servants would return when the war ended. But the fighting has been over a long time now, scores of rnuni- tioll factories have closed, and still the girls have not returned to their old employment. Whether they ever will return is a favorite subject of i gloomy speculation ar many a tea i table.
 i Of the hundreds of th@usands of i servant girls that responded to the
 call for patriotic s-Gvice very few, ac- : cording to employment agencies, are
 going back to domestic work. For 3
 weeks they have the SAYS week
 provided by the government until
 they ind other employment, but un- ] less the girls have homes to go to, ] that is scarcely enough to shelter and l feed them.
 Many with aptitude and skill will continue at factory work. taking the l places of men killed or crippled in ! the war. Thousands driven by rest . lessness will emigrate, it is believed : to America and to the dominions to seek industrial employment not avail able to them here. Other thousands I will marry soldiers when the army is
 demobiIized.
 The majority, however, in the opin-
 ion of employment agency officials
 will sooner or later have to return to domestic service.
 But, according to woman spokes. . man for the girls, it was the taste of i factory life freedom even more than novelty of high wages that is the chiet
 cause of their present discontent. She | cited as typical the conditions under ! which chambermaids in a big London ! hotel work.
 i They receive she said, "13 shiIl. ings a week for a working day of
 from 8 to 5 hours. Once a week
 they are allowd off from 1 o'clock in
 th afternoon until 10:3o at night, all
 ternate Sundays from 2 p m. until
 10:30, and they are given a full day
 off once a month"
 Efforts are being made, it is said,
 to form 9 chambermaids union for
 the purpose of securing shorter hours,
 better food and working conditions
 and more pay.

HOOvER'S REPORT
 

Washington, Feb. 2O.---A confiden- tial report made to President Wilson by Herbert c. Hoover six months ago on the big meat packers was made public yesterday by the Food Admin istration at the direction of the Pres ident to establish the real position of Mir. Hoover and the Food Admins tration on the control of the Chicago packing industries In recent hear ings before congressional committees witnesses for the livestock men charged collision between MT. Hoover and the five leading packers.
 In the report, in response to 8 re- quest from the President for his views on the recommendations of the Fed eral Trade Commission, MT. Hoover said he reaf1rmed his opinion given nearly year before that 'here is a growing and dangerous domination of the nations foodstuffs," and approved some of the commissions proposals. He recommended constructive reguIa- ton rather than stretching temporary war powers of the government, and expressed the belief that the domina- ton of the packers did not necessarily imply wrong doing on their part, but
 was the natural outgrowth of various factors which need correction"
 MT Ii cover Sttte IfteQ as econ nOTIl1caI y sound the Federal Trade COmmis- sion's recommendation regarding Fed eral control of animal and refrigera- tor car service, and said stockyards s should be entirely dissociated from the control of the packers He con tended, however, that wrong practices between buyers and sellers would not be corrected by the Government con- trolling or owning yards.
 His own instinct. MT. Hoover said was against Federal ownership of the packers branch houses and cold st0r- age and warehouse facilities. Coin 3 into aspects of the packing industry not covered ny the Trade Commission he said:
 If proper abattoirs could be ex- tended near the larger towns, possi- bly, with municipal help and the oper- ations therein protected from iuegit- innate competition, I believe they would not only succeed, but would greatly stimulate the local production
 of meat animals. One effect would be a great stabtlization of prices by a wider based market than that now SC ] largely dependent upon a small group . of buyers"

ANNIVERSARY OF OLUsTEE

Fifty-five years ago today the bat tie of Olustee. one of the decisive conflicts of the American Civil war, was fought in Florida. President Lincoln and his military advisers sug- gested the sending of a column of troops to the interior of Florida, there to destroy railroads and bridges and cut off from the Confederate armies the vast food supplies which they had been receiving from the South and east of Florida. General Truman Seyn our, with 1000 men, at tempted to put the plan into effect. but at Olustee he was confronted by General Joe Finegan and 4,500 Con federates. In a beautiful pine forest the two small armies engaged in one of the bloodiest of daughters in the history of warfare. The Union losses were nearly 2,O00, the Confederate loss about half as many, and that within the space of two hours. Sey-
 lour retrcated and no further at
 empt was made to carry out the Florida plan.
