FRANCE BEING RESTORED

1t is interesting to note that the first
manufacturing plant in the Lille re-
gion Of France has been able to re-
sumo operations. This is the Lille
cotton works. which has been recon-
structed by the French industrial SER
vice and has begun the employment of
considerable. number Of people
France is putting forth every effort
to retsore her industries. and with the
larg" amount Of labor that will be
available for that purpose. we may
look for some\ remarkable reuslts.
The recuperatire power Of the
French people has always been a mar
vel. They are industrious. thrifty and
energetic. particularly in the rnainten-
ance Of The industries to which they
have been long accustomed. While
France has suffered an enormous loss
in man power and in industrial ma
chincry, after all. only a relatively
small portion of her territory has been
devastated. With the cooperation Of
the allies and with the stimulation
which the certainty Of Il large German
indemnity brings. wonderful trans
be under way.

will be observed. however, that the
power Of the postmaster general ends
automatically with the ending Of the

Il great deal If regret on the part Of

has been one Of the most effective az

MOTOR TRUCK TAX

The proposition to secure revenue for
the city Of Wheeling from motor trucks
used exclusively in the city limits is
sound and sensible. The Intelligcnccr be-
leveS that the city should be entitled to
"a revenue from all motor truck opera
tors using the city streets regularly. and
for a greater period of time than 10 days
In other words. the transient trucks
might properly be excused from payment
but II city license for regular users Of
trucks is sensible and just. The cost Of
the upkecp of the streets has been in
creased by the traffic upon thin. and those
responsible for that traffic should help
pay the bill.
