REBUILDING
OF FRANCE
Since Signing Of Armistice, 1850
Miles of Railroads Have Been
Put in
Order.
IBy United Press.1

PARIS, (By Mail France has re-
stored over $50 miles of railroads in
the devastated districts since the sign
ing of the armistice This mileage is
in addition to the 1000 miles which
had been professionally repaired before
the actual end Of the fighting. LESS
than 200 miles of destroyed roadbed
remain unserviceable.
OF the destroyed railways between
Paris and Belgium on the Northern
railway nearly ninety eight percent OF
the portions out Of service last Nov.
ember have been restored. On the
Eastern railway the restoration has
been less complete, but even on this
line which suffered heavily on the
Champagne and Verdun fronts, over
eighty percent Of the lines are again
being used.
Much of the restoration work has
had to be of temporary nature BE-
cause of the shortage of materials.
The hardest work was encountered in
the region about Verdun and along
the valley of the Mouse where nuTer
Gus tunnels and bridges We're dos
troyed Nearly one half Of the restored
mileage has been on double track
lines.
The rebuilding Of the network OF
canals is progressing almost as rapid
ly as the railway work. The totll
destroyed mileage of canals exceeded
700 miles, together with 450 bridges
and lis locks BY October 1 the
greater portion of these lines Of cheap
transportation will have been rebuilt.
simultaneously with the railroad re.
building, the factories in many Of the
"martyred" cities are resuming pro-
duction on small scale. Machinery,
stolen by the Germans is being col.
lected in all parts of Germany and
shipped back to the almost empty fac
| tories of Lille, Laon and st. Quentin.
Already over 25 900 tons of stolen ma
chinery and material have been gath
cred and shipped while even a larger
quantity has accumulated in German
stations awaiting shipment. This ma.
chinery was identified by French
commission.
Though making heroic efforts to re

BERLIN, (By Mail.) - Women
ought to be taken out of the labor mar
ket Just as much as possible"
This Is the opinion of Frau Won
Gferke, of the German national party,
one OF the women members of the ma
tional assembly, chosen after the last
winters revolution, In an interview
she declared she believed women
ought to take more and more part in
internal politics, but decried any at
tempt to have them in high govern
ment places. She said that they
ought to be in the home rather than
the factory or the office; and that
where circumstances positively will
not permit them to have home life,
then they ought to be trained for the
professions
II don't believe women should be in
cabinet positions" she said THAT
would only make the cabinet feminine
and weaker. and what Is needed is
! strong manly forcefulness in positions
such as the cabinet posts.
However, in internal politics, 1t is
different There. woman acss as a
balancing spirit. and takes a fine,
wholesome interest in weIfore work.
Women's inclinations in politics are
likely to be more positive than me,'s,
for women are generally eIthe- en-
tirely conservative or entirely radical.
"As for woman's part in labor, will
say that I believe womankind should
be brought hack to Its natural destiny
of motherhood and education Of chil-
dren. It Is extremely unfortunate that
women have become more ami moro
the competitors of men in the labor
market, for labor amongst women is
the enemy of family life. 1t Is i'm
possible to be workingwoman ard a
mother at the same time.
I'm my view, Industrial conditions
ought to be SO readjusted that men
will have better opportunities For
marrying and for supporting families.
Then it will be possible for more
women to enter their natural sphere
OF family life. AS for women unable
to marry, more opportunities should
