French colnmerce is not going "a
get back to the pre- war normal
this year, nor will it next year. Few
of the coal mines and factories de-
stroyed by the Germans in the
North are back in operation, hun
dreds of other enterprises are only
now getting a timid start after the
war; prohibition in the United
States and heavy import taxes in
Great Britain struck heavy blow
at the important French wine rade.
But it seems quite likely that IN the
year 1923 or 1924 business will be
going on at about the usual rate
or at even little better.
1913-the last before the war
year-showed France not quite
holding her own on balance of
trade. She imported S,421, 900, 900
francs worth of goods and exported
only 6,SS0,000, 1000. In 1919, the
first year after the armistice, her
crippled industries were severely
Handicapped.
Imports ran to 29,77S,0O0, 900
francs and exports totalled S,0Oo,-
100000, the figures being larger on
other sides because of the lower
value of the franc in the worlds

Solomon Owl, however, remem-

in which Baltimore has figured. and it
was in line with this work that she
visited the churchyard and discovered
the mistake, which she has verified by
old photograp hs of the Poe lot.

finding out the TuStin heirs, so she
can have the headstone moved to it's
