is too great to be stopped by a wall
of high prices. 1t has overflowed
this wall and is swamping the city
AS for the increase in the perma-
nent population Of Paris, it has
been recruited from the devastated
north. When the Germans de-
scended upon certain provinces of
France and laid them waste, they
drove before them the shrewdest,
the most enterprising and the hard
est working of the French people,
A cloud of these settled upon Paris,
not to be idle, not to pass their time
in repining, but to set sturdily
place for themselves, as is the way
about the business of making a
Of the northern folk. AT Ter nearly
five years of war more than half
million of these have so deeply
rooted themselves in Paris that they
will remain. They are settled, they
have their homes and they are gain
ing living.
So that Paris has not only taken
to herself a large number of for
eigners-with a myriad more to
come-but has found room and oc-
cupation for great army Of French
people over and above her pre-war
population. They must have
shelter, whether hotels, houses or
apartments, and it would seem
natural that the business of pro-
viding this shelter should at once
be undertaken. But here we come
to the third of the reasons, set out
above, which has certain curious
and interesting features.
1t is easy to understand that
house building in Paris came
abruptly to an end in August, 1914,
but why has it not been resumed
The answer is, first, that there is
all the devastated North to be re-
built, and that effort is naturally de-
fected thereto; the raw materials
and labor are scarce beyond belief
and have increased fantastically in
price, and that real estate does not
yet offer sufficient attractions to the
Frenchman with money to invest.
Rising Rates
Before the war the Frenchman
put his savings or his earnings into
rentes-gilt-edged stocks of various
kinds, whether government or mu-
nicipal-which brought him in a Ger
tain 215, or perhaps 3% per cent.
If his temperament and his means
took him into the more venturesome
field Of real estate he expected more
for his investment. He asked and Sc
cured what the French call "a good
per cent" which means 6 per cent
and shade better.
To-day this is changed. The
Frenchman has gotten used to
rate of interest for his security
holdings that makes the pre-war re-
turns seem small. He can get per
cent and more for his money with
out trouble, and his attitude to-
ward real estate has been profound
ly modified. One Of the best known
architects in Paris told The Tribune
recently:
"There will be no money for con-
struction in the city until the man
