.M|STR|AL IN SUIT
OVER SOME FLOUR
Jury Could Not Reconcile
The Facts and the
Law.

A very puzzling situation confront.
ed trial jury in the civil suit of the
West Virginia Feed and Flour Com
pany against L. NJ. Kuhn before Jus
tice NJ. R. Musgrove yesterday for
$1,000 and the jury was unable to
decide the case. 1t will now be nee.
essary to call new jury and try the
case again. The Jury yesterday was
composed of ]. E. Thomas, A. H. P.
Bowers. W. B. Leeper, Ed Holbert,
A. D. Parrish and B. l.. Butcher.
Over two years ago l.. M. Kuhn re-
fused to accept ten barrels of flour
when 1t was shipped to Monongah
because OF its damaged condition. The
flour laid at the Monongah station
for about three months and was later
shipped to the Camden station at Bal
timore for storage.
The feed company now seeks to re-
cover payment for the flour and Kuhn
refuses TO pay on the ground that he
did not accept the flour and further
more did not order it.
There Is a provision in the state
law that concern such as a feed
company has fulfilled all its obliga-
ton after it has placed its goods in the
hands Of public conveyance such as
railroad The railroad company
seems to be the party which should
stand responsible for the flour but be-
cause Of the fact that it has been over
two years since the flour was shipped,
neither party can bring suit against
the railroad.

NEED AMERICANS
REBUILD FRANCE
(By William Philip Simms, United
Press Staff Correspondent

(By William Philip Simms, United
Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, April TO- (By Mai)-Will
Americans be allowed to participate
as business men in the rebuilding OF
Northern France?
Or will the French government
throw protective wall around the
devastated regions and admit only
builders of their own nationality on
the. theory that whatever profit is to
be derived out of the reconstruction
ought to go to those who have suf-
fered most on account Of the war?
This question is uppermost here
now. Both sides has its defenders,
Each is eloquently sustained. But
there are signs that the anti-all
crowd will win and that France will
welcome both American gold ana
American organizers and builders.
The thesis of the protective wall
faction is that France is in such a
rundown condition as the result OF
four and half years of war that
her industrials are scarcely in a
position to fight successfully against
their brothers from America. Amer
leans, with their huge factories,
cheap raw materials and superior
organization, can build machinery
such as is needed in tn emills Of
Northern France more quickly and
cheaper than can be done in France
and, that such being the case, there
is a danger Of Americans-and the
English, also a great industrial peo-
ple-running away with the business
of starting up Northern France
again, pocketing all the profits and
leaving the Frenchman in the posi-
tion of Mother Hubbard's we'll
known dog. That is, by the time he
could get his business going good
the job of reconstruction would be

finished.

finished.
The "Antis" use tie same argu.
ment, but with reverse English,
They admit much OF the reconstruc-
tion business would be captured by
Americans and British because they
are in position to do the work
without delay, BUT-and here is the
whole point--it is greatly to the ad-
vantage of France as a nation that
there should be as little delay as
possible They, point out that Ger
many has not been damaged by
shelfire; that Eer mills are in a
going condition; that, in order to
keep the economical life of Germany
going, German industries must be al
lowed to start up as soon as pos
sible-otherwise the Germans will
not be in position to meC~ their
own home expenses, let a.~W pay
the result of the war. This being
the case, with German industry
grinding full blast, French industry
must likewise full speed ahead and
at once, otherwise it will hopelessly
outdistanced by tn resourceful
enemy of yesterday.
Furthermore, they declare, France
will need for a good many years to
come, American and English capital
and capital will not go where indus
try of the same nationality can not
find root. The French franc will
tend to become cheaper and chaper
and the dollar and pound sterling
dearer and dearer.
A high French official of the Min
istry of Reconstruction told me that
American cooperation would be well
come in France. thus forecasting the
victory Of the open door faction.
"The real opposition he said,
comes from the interested parties,
those who wish personally to profit
through enterprises undertaken in
the north. The opposition is not ma
tional. France realizes she abso-
lutely must have this cooperation
and France and America will find a
