Ruins of Churches
In Wake of Huns
From CARL A. RANDALL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.
!! PARIS (By Mail. Over 5000
churches were either completely de.
stroyed or seriously damaged by the
Greman invasion of Northern France
The state in which these martyred
churches now are found varies from
those that have been absolutely wiped
out to others which suffered only the
damages of occasional stray shells.
The work of restoring the church
es has begun. The first annual gen
eral assembly of the Society to Re-
store the Churches of the Devastated
Regions was held in Paris recently.
At the time Vicar Odelin of Paris re-
ported that over $264,00O had been
expended in beginning the work of
restoration. He stated that sixty
three churches have been adopted by
individuals who will personally bear
all the expenses involved in the work
of rebuilding. Help has come, said
the Vicar, from the United States,
from Brazil, from India, in fact
every nation of the Allied world is
helping France counteract the work
of the destroyer.
Some of the churches will never
be restored. Some are gone, COM
pletely shot to bits, leaving barely
a trace of their former location.
Others, famous cathedrals, such as
those of Rheims and Amiens, may be
left as they now stand as a warning
to posterity and as an indelible rec
ord of the savagery of the past five
years.

WATERS EXACTING IN DEMANDING THEIR
 BIT FROM PATRONS


 ROME, July 23 - Restaurant walters have been recently veritable ancient Caesars in Rome for they have controlled both the public and the hotel and restaurant proprle- tors. Romans cannot eat outside the confines of their own homes for there. is now to place to eat. All restaurants are closed.
 The quarrel is on the intending subject of tips. It has been the pol icy during some weeks to include the tip in the bill. At the end Of each day, the walters share would amount to 20 per cent. of the gross receipts in some cases. The proprie- tor found that this procedure was not acceptable to the guests and asked the walters to return to their former system of voluntary tipping. They refused.

FRENCH NEWSPAPER
 BOASTS GOVERNMENT
 ON ACCOUNT YANKEES

PARIS, July 22.-Another Paris newspaper, L'Eclair, has taken up a campaign started by Le Matin against the French Government for refusing to buy American war ma terials or allow French firms to buy them. L'Eclair's attack is headed: "A Further Contribution to History of French Administrations" and the article deals with the telegraph ana telephone lines laid down in trance by the Americans. It says that the United States offered this materlal to the French Government on It's own conditions, to which the French replied: Take it all away. 4our material is not set up to the French standard" This, says the newspa- per, is without taking into consider ation that, thanks o&the American telephone lines, communication to all parts of France is twice as rapid as the French system. In many cases, newspaper comments add, slm- liar replies were given to offers or varnous kinds of foodstuffs, and to- bacco, of which the American fore es have enormous quantities i'll thal country. France is witnessing daily increase in the price of foods and a decrease fin the quantity or tobacco.

INCREASING WAGES
 BRITISH WORKMEN
 BECOMES A PROBLEM
Question Has Been Raised Whether England Can Compete For Worlds Trade With
 High Wages

LONDON, July 23.-Recent in creases in wages of British workmen have been the subject of very seri ous debate by economist, employers and others as one of the bedrock problems of reconstruction, in the sense that the nation may stand or fall by it.
 Some say the question which con fronts British industry is whether the pendulum of wages may not swing so high that production for competition with rival nations will become unprofitable and then impos- sible
 Higher wages for all'' is the de mand of the organized and unorgan ized workers. With it is the cry for "shorter hours, better conditions of living, freedom to meet the employer on a plane of business equality, as two business men meeting together
 More concentrated work, more in telligcnt work and we will try to meet you" is the response from many employers.
 The question has been seriously raised here whether England in the past has owed her pre-eminence in the worlds industrial markets to un- derpaid British labor. That view was expressed by Frank Vanderlip. New York banker. when he returned to America a few weeks ago after spending several months in Europe.
 There are shrcwd business men who contend that British labor has not been cheap. but considered sole lv as an item in the cost of produc- tion has been relatively costly when compared with labor of the United States.

LONDON, July 23. = Archibald Hurd, British naval expert, allud- ing to the seriousness of American competition at sea, says: "We have emerged from the war with about 15,000,00O tons of shipping, where as five years ago we had upwards of 18,OO0,000 tons. The United States at the opening of the war had about 2,OOO,OOO tons of sea-go- ing shipping. The Americans now have 5,00O,0O0 tons, or one-third of the total British shipping.
