taken by the Germans, and seven-tenths of the spindles, looms and combers, which possessed almost human dexterity. were either shipped to Germany or pound ed into utter uselessness.
 Two out of every hundred machines were left intact, packed and tagged for shipment, but were abandoned by the Germans in. their strategic retreat Those machines which were not removed were stripped of all brass and copper parts, and delicate pieces were mutilated, re- quiring months to replace. The extremely thorough stripping of copper parts from the machines is an important factor in delaying work, as it might almost be said that the French use copper and brass except when such metals will not possibly answer the purpose.
 The labor problem is not at this time particularly embarrassing to textile manufacturers. The task of replacing the remarkably skilled workers, many of whom are among Frances million and half of dead war heroes, is said to be in the way of solution because women always were largely employed, and they are more keen than ever for such we'll paid work since many of them are widows.
