Paris, March 22.-France insists
that the surrendered German war
ships be distributed among the VIC
tors as legitimate prizes OF war. As
for these ships being called white
elephant" by those who advocate
their sinking, France is willing to
take chance. Having suffered most
France demands share correspond
ing with her sacrifices. France also
opposes the suppression of the SUBJ
marine as 4 war weapon.
Generally speaking, we should
not follow the German principle OF
destruction" said Georges Leagues.
French minister of war. ION the
contrary, we should try to preserve
whatever u.ilizable after four years
of continual destruction and terrific
losses. To destroy is brutal and bar
barrie; it is the German method,
Distribute Ships, He Urges.
consequently, the French view is
perfectly clear: The German feet,
which is a common prize of war,
should be distributed among the vic
tors. Whatever uee each state may
make of the ships is the business of
that state alone. If some wish to
sink their share, they may do so.
But we, who have suffered such
cruel damages from the war are
faced by the imperious duty to en-
ploy our part to our best interests.
France asks no special favors
although she bore the heaviest war
burden; she asks her due, nothing
more. The Gexman invasion de-
stroyed our principal industrial Gen.
tiers, ravaged our fields and ruined
our towns and villages, and before
retreating, the enemy carried off our
factory machinery.
Naturally, our financial situation
is, involved and our burdens will
weigh heavily upon several coming
generations. 1t is possible to earn
money and rebuild houses and fac
tories, but who will give us back
our children?

board that the lumber men take the
initiative in submitting a schedule of
revised prices, it was pointed out
that nobody present had authority to
take such action other than for his
own plants and that even if an
agreement were reached at the con-
ference, its effect would be local to
those plants and have no general eff
feet.
Members of the board said frankly
that they recognized the difficulties
involved as peculiar to the trade.
S. P. Bush, presiding chairman in the
absence of George N. Peek, pointed
out that the western fir producers
were not represented and that there
was no basis available at the meet
ing on which to effect adjustments
between southern pine, northern
pine, hardwood and all the other var
ieties of lumber, each of which had
its own production problems and
no general spokesman.
Opposed to Price Agreements.
Some of the lumber men were
dubious as to the legality of any
price agreements. Mr.. Kirby bluntly
said that the association of which
he was a member would throw out"
any man guilty of conspiring to fix
prices. What the board members
told the lumber men on this sub
ject was not disclosed, but it gen.
orally has been accepted that the
of agreed steel prices
and the holding of today's confer
ences, following consultation be-
tween Mr.. Peek and the attorney
general, meant that no obstacle
would be placed by the department
of justice in the way of agreed
price reductions designed to inn
prove the general economic stu
alton.
boz A. c. Johnson of Dubuque, Ia,
representing some retail lumber
dealers, declared many buyers would
begin constructionsas soon as there
was announcement that there would
be no reduction in lumber prices.
The trade at present was said to
be good. Mr.. Johnson had the sup
port of the lumber producers in de-
claring that price reductions would
have so small an effect on dwellings
and other wooden construction that
it was assurance of stability rather
than lower cost which was desir-
able. He said a reduction of 81
thousand feet would mean a saving
of only $50 in a house consuming
$4,000 feet of lumber. The material
was said to be smaller factor in
wooden construction than in any
other class f~buildings. -

sour dead number 100000, al
most all of them in the flower of
youth. in the most productive period.
We have priority claims to whatever
can to any extent replace their pro-
ductivity and the economic force
they represented. The number Of
our dead exceeds those of the Brit
ish empire and Italy combined.
France should for her own sake
and for the sake of the worlds equi-
librium, recover at least the same
relative position she occupied be-
fore the war.
"We entered the war on the first
day and remained in it till the last.
We protected the Mediterranean,
preventing the Austrian feet from
coming out while the British feet
was held in the North sea keeping
the German feet bottled up. There
by we made possible in the early
months of the war the transporta-
ton of troops from Africa and Asia
who helped stem the German army's
advance.
1--WE attacked the Dardanelles with
the British, losing several important
ships. We saved the Serbian army
from destruction and then trans
ported and supplied the army Of the
Orient which broke the Bulgaria
Austro-G German fronts helping to
turn the scale in our favor.
"We lost a great number of war
ships through mines and submarines.
We are unable to replace our losses.
Our warships reached Archangel in
the extreme north and Vladivostok
in the extreme east, supporting the
bases of the Russian front.
1--WE desisted from completing five
dreadnoughts of the Normandie
class, though four were already suffi-
GENTLY advanced to enter service
during the war if construction had
been continued. We had to
discontinue it because our whole
activity had to be devoted to the
construction of heavy artilley-the
75's especially-wagons, trucks,
many millions of shells, gun car
riages, iron bridges, ETC., thus re-
placing not only what the enemy de-
stroyed of our own material but for
the Russians, Roumanians, Serbians,
Greeks, Americans and British"

HIGH PRICES

is going to happen to prices. We
wouldn't build on the prices asked
now. If we were not far-sighted
enough to have made these con-
tracts last year, we wouldn't do any
building at all this year," said F.
w. Carmichael.
"The demand for houses is very
great and we could rent and sell all
kinds of dwellings if we had them"
Scarcity of houses and imprac-
ticability of building more at pres
ent prices is acknowledged by
Rasp Brothers, Scott & Hill, john
ston Brothers, Byron Reed COM
pany. Emil Holstrom, and score
of smaller builders. -
The high prices affect the small
builder more than the large home
building companies because the
latter buy in larger quantities and
receive larger discounts.
Temple McFayden of the Bankers
Mortgage and Loan company was
the only builder who announced
high prices would not affect his
plans to build 100 new homes this
spring.
Labor Cheaper Now.
while everybody is talking about
the high prices and waiting for
prices to come down before build
ing, there is scarcity of work. So
l am going ahead with my building
and am getting men to work for
me cheaper than they would if there
was lot of work." he said.
I'm counting on selling the hous-
es | build before prices go down.
If / don't sell them and prices 60
down, of course I will lose money,
but believe prices are not going to
come down.
"Of course, we charge more for
the houses we sell now than we did
in the past on account of high
prices"
Norris & Norris company is
said to be selling houses for $1,000
and $2,400 cheaper than any other
firm can, because they have their
own lumber yard and can build
cheaper in consequence.
All realtors and builders inter-
viewed by The Bee expressed great
satisfaction with the investigation
and disclosures made by The Bee
in this important matter.
"The Bee has done a great good
to the city by this exposure. It's
effects can already be felt in the
business" said c. w. Martin.
"The Bees work is fine; it's step
in the right direction and has the
support of every loyal Omahan who
wants to see Omaha grow-with
the exception of half dozen lum-
bermen and building material deal
ers," said ]. H. Osborne.

"Wherc is all the booze that was

question that police and government

right and not to be so rough.
THE officer seemed to be over
bearing and handled the boy pretty
severely, calling him a deserter.
This remark the soldier resented.
A scuffle ensued and several minor
blows were exchanged.
The officer pulled his gun and
shot the boy without giving him the
least chance. The, soldier did not
once offer to run and it seemed to
me the most cowardly, uncalled for
