FRANCE IS RISING
FROM WRECKAGE OF
WAR, SAYS CASENAVE

MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 6.-France
has gone back to work with spirit
of virile courage, the spirit that
brought recuperation so quickly after
the war of 1870 and that paid an enor-
nous SO quickly as to gain the admira-
ton Of the world" according to Maur-
ice Casenave, minister plenipotentia.'y
and director general of the French
public services in an address here to-
day at the celebra ton of the ami
versaries of Lafayette and the first
battle Of the Marine.
Mr. Casenave, who spoke at the
City club said that the false legend nf
"a frivolous and corrupt France
which Marshal Joffre had destroyed
by the victory of the Marne had been
succeeded by an equally false legend
advanced by her enemies. that France
was bled white beyond the hope of re-
cuscitation. He declared the progress
made in his country even since the
armistice was a proof that France
would arise from her present afflic-
tions greater and stronger than ever
Already said the speaker, French
industries were utilizing in water pow
er alone 625,0oo horse power more
than before the war and by 1921 the
total will have more than doubled
that amount. A rosy picture of French
prosperity with increased output Of
metals, textiles. coal. potash and farm
products was drawn by the speaker
He also said that Frances colonies,
often ignored. were larger than the
whole Of the United States including
Alaska. the Philippines, Porto Rico
and other possessions that they were
rich in mineral and agricultural
wealth and possessed a population Of
more than fifty million nearly all
hard workers who have proven their
| loyalty to the mother country by coun-
| try by fighting bravely for her in the

War Career Of Diamond
importers Saw MANY Changes

The effect Of the war on the diamond
industry was profound. Before 1914
two-thirds OF the diamonds imported
into the United States we're classed as
cut but not set and the other third
as "uncut." The diamond cutting Of
the world was carried on before the
war chiefly in the Netherlands, Bel
GUM and France, and that industry
was, of course, during the conflict en-
tirely suspended in Belgium. in large
part Of France. and also materially af-
fected in the Netherlands. A survey
prepared by the National City Bank
shows the value of cut diamonds i'm
ported into the United States dropped
from S27 100000 in 1913 TO S1S,0OO,OOO
in 1914 and S9,O0O0O0 in 1915. By
1916 the uncut diamonds began to take
the place of the cut diamonds in the
importations, and in 1918 for the first
time showed a greater value in i'm
rortations than those classcd as "cut
hut not set In the latest period, the
eight months ending with September,
1918. the imports of uncut diamonds
amounted to s10,424000 and the
group "cut bat not SET" s6,501 900.
