Situation i'm Invaded

In the provinces life is just as difficult
Tor the situation is still absolutely abnormal
II, on the one hand, France has been de-
peopled by the loss of at least 1,4OO,OOO of
her sons, she is, on the other hand. over
peopled temporarily by at least 5000, 900
Allied soldiers. The situation in the invaded
districts is SO intoerable that the popula-
ton of those regions is still forced to live
IN the uninvaded districts, thus over
peopling them.
Cities like Marseilles, Bordeaux. Havre
ana Rouen are congested as Paris. Even
IN the villages the demand exceeds produc-
tlon. The result is that the cost of living
IS as nigh in the provinces as in Paris
here IS glimpse of prices in France, in
which the first figures Gin francs) are those
Tor 1915 and the second for 1919:

now 20; cheese, 3, now 16.
mus during the war the cost Of living
has quadrupled in France and is much
higher than in Germany, as witnessed hv
reports of Allied officers returning from
there. Still greater difficulties attend life
IN the regions devastated by the Boches.

sources, were utterly destroyed or their
equipment carried off into Germany Tho
most energetic classes of Frenchmen. when
they return to their villages freed from,
the invader, in most cases find onlv the
ruins of their houses and workshops. and
having no work to do, are soon reduced to
the most terrible consequences of unemploy

This unemployment is further commit
Gated by the fact that throughout France
soldiers are being demoblized faster than
the factories can be adapted to peace pro-
ductlon. 1t is easy to imagine how the dan

the cost Of living has risen since the ar

Dangers of Demobilization While
Germany Remains Uncoerced
by Her Creditors

of her war loans while the Germans found
their funds within Germany; fourth, living
is actually dearer in France than in Ger
many; fifth, Germany has not been invaded,
all her factories are intact and almost with
out delay may resume intense economic
activity, while France, with a third of her
factories destroyed and a sixth of her ter
ritory devastated will be forced for many
years to work merely to reinstate things
where they were before the war.
Thus France is economically handicapped
in the most serious fashion. These various
causes of the ruin of France are the results,
direct and indirect, of German aggression
and invasion. 1t must appeal to good sense
that the immense prejudice caused to
France will diminish progressively as Ger
many makes the reparations demanded by
right. But when will Germany make these
reparations? The whole question is there
Let us not have the slightest illusion.
Germans have intention, voluntarily, to
repair the i'll done France and other victims
of their aggression. Ebert made that very
clear in his Weimar speech. Only under
constraint will the Boches repair, and even
now they are mannuvring to avoid
that constraint, place the Allies in the posi-

and gave delicious sense of comfort which
soon passed into sleep. 1t must have been
some hours later that one awoke with the
awful certainty that the worst had hap
pened. The rain descending upon the
trees with reverberating roar The dog,
with sense that he had been betrayed by
trusting to a human being, was nosing his
wet way into the blankets Inside. the
water was everywhere. In such circum-
stances there is nothing to be done but to
do nothing, to lie still. The water was
already warm. If it could be warmed as
fast as it came in, no harm would follow.
1t was better to be lying down wet and
warm than standing up wet and cold.
But after several awfuI uncertain min
utes the cold and water had the best of
the controversy, and 1 extricated myself
from the clammy chill. 1t was easy to
guess what had happened. The fabric had
slipped away from the tree, and the CANOPY.
which was fast, discharged its waters and
flooded the bed through an obscure rent in

jacket and underclothing were dry beneath

came on deck, as one might say The
level field was awash. The water overfowed
the bitches and stood within the tents. but
lhe pa1lents were yet secure upon their few
inches Of stretcher. There was smoke from
the cooks stoves. Where there is smoke
there is fire, and where there is fire there
is hot tea.
Presently the wagons from the divisional
tram arrived and dumped the forage and
rations for the next twenty-four hours In
the lot were two cases with designation
