HALF OF FACTORIES RESUME
IN FRENCH DEVASTATED AREA

LILLE. January 1 (by the Associ-
Ated Press).-Production has been re-
sumed in about one-half the factories
of northern France where the out
break of war paralyzed industry and
where battles wageC :vf four years.
OF this number. however. about 8 per
cent have been at work only month.
Figures examined today by the cor
respondent of the Associated Press,
who is visiting the war zone under a
special dispensation of the govern
ment, showed that in this region 10000
plants. employing 100000 workers.
were razed by gunfire. looted or badly
disorganized.
Officials consider the work done
during the last year as very credit
able, as the period between November
IL, when the armiStice was signed, and
the 1st of March was occupied by the
authorities in getting ready for oper-
ations.
1t was necessary to begin at the
bottom and build railways. houses
and storage places for food and sup
plies and to build roads capable of
work on rehabilitating the country
could commence. AS this work pro-
gressed the program was enlarged.
1t was necessary in addition to aid
all the sufferers in the war zone at
once instead of concentrating all ef-
forts in one district.
"Spread the Butter Thin
This plan of spreading the butter
thin" one official expressed it, was
necessary. as all were equally in need.
Energetic manufacturers, however,
frequently were able to obtain re-
suits by co-ordinating their efforts
with those of the government. their
energy being an asset which enabled
them to obtain advantages in the ship
ment Of machinery and raw materials.
There has been a notable increase
in the resumption of plants, especially
those turning out textiles during the
last few weeks, but it is estimated
it will take three years for the ma
5ority of the principal trades. such as
glass making, wood working and
sugar refining, to resume production
on a normal scale. Large mechanical
plants. such as the locomotive works
at Valenciennes and the coal mines
about Lens, will be under a handi-
cap for a longer time, and it is be-
lieved ten years must elapSe before
full speed ahead will be possible.
Equipment From Germany.
Machinery and equipment weighing
about 250,00 tons have been returned
from Germany. and the French gov
ernment has advanced to industrial
firms credits totaling approximately
5000, 100000 francs. This sum will
be applied against damages estimat-
ed in the chamber of deputies to

Biggest Rise in Cotton and Wool.
The foregoing applies to what the
shopkeepers regard as mod crate
wardrobe. Serges. formerly the cheap
est and most common dress material,
and which before the war could be
bought for 81 to s1.25 yard. are now
retailing at 81 to IS for the same
quality. Eelveteens. another popular
dress material. could be bought five
years ago for 81 and s1.25 a yard, and
now are bringing $3.50 to $3.50. The
biggest advances. dealers say. have
been in cotton and wool and not so
much in silk. Babies buckskin shoes
which normally sold at $3.50 are now
priced at 81 to 50 pair.
Many women of mC ms. the retailers
say, are paying as much as $3.50 and
up for a pair of silk stockings. but
these are beaded with pearls and are
decorated with fine hand embroidery.

former years. when Russian sables
were not so expensive. natives in the
interior used to pay their taxes with
pelts.
I'm those days the enterprising fur
collector had not penetrated the wilds
of the Siberian forests. 1t was the
custom of the trappers to dispose Of
their seasons catch to the Russian
government but since sables have be-
come SO much in demand and the
prices are so high. the natives have
found they can do much better selling
directly to the collectors who come
from all parts of America and Eu-

property owners. however. have not

1t is generally admitted the indus
tries receiving immediate aid have
been those most essential to the re-
habilitation of France. houses being
constructed or repaired to shelter
factory workers before ordinary
dwellings receive attention. In the
matter of public utilities. individuals
have Jared best. Factories have been
forced to close because Of lack of gas
or electricity. but private houses
have been supplied. the theory being
that some service to individuals was
necessary and that cutting them Off
would not provide factories a suffi-
cient supply to continue work.
