 Lands Of France
By JOHN $. STEELE

special to Age Herald.
 E Paris, February -(SpeciaL)--one of the most urgent proplems left by the war is the rehabilitation from an agri- cultural point of view of the devastated lands of France. I do not know exactly how many million acres of this land there are and 1 doubt if any exact sur Vey has been made. but roughly speak, ing there exists from the sea to the Swiss frontier belt about 20 miles wide which the war has made desert To bring that desert back to its former fertility is the problem which must be faced
 Let me say to begin with that the problem is smaller than was anticipated at the beginning Of the war when t.e effect on the fertility of land of s;c tremendous ploUghing and battering by shells declare that for years to come .,th- ing would grow in this desert belt The soil they declared had been destroyed lt had been pulverized and blown away It had been buried under tons and tons of upturned hard pan. It had been pol soined by gas and high explosives. And the layman who looked on this picture of desoiauon a year ago was inclined to agree without question that they were right.
 Recently, however. l have been over the ground again and while much of it-that

other uses. There remains ane solution. It would be poetic justice to compel the thousands of German prisoners now in France to restore the land that they devastated before they are ai- lowed to return to cultivate the soil of Germany. Already there is an insistent demand in France that this be made feature of the final peace settlement. They could probably complete the work in less than a year and leavt behind them instead of a desert, not indeed q smiling agricultural country, but a land which under the hands of the thrifty and injurious French farmers soon would smile again.
 At present many thousands of Ger man prisoners are at work repairing the roads of France. This. I believeis regarded as work of immediate mili- tary importance. but it is work which will leave the ruined roads in good re- pair, and peace asset to France. why not compel them to restore the ruined lands as we'll?
