France Lost /, 100000
In War; 100000 Hurt
100000 Houses Destroyed, In.
dustry Crippled and Third
Of Shine Sunk

PARIS, May 19 French Wireless
Service).-What is perhaps the first
concise statement of Frances war
losses has just been made by Captain
Andre Tardieu, former French High
Commissioner in the United States. In
describing what ne calls the "balance
sheet" Of France Captain Tardieu says
that during the war 100000 men were
mobilized, Of whom 100000 were
killed, 100000 manned and 100000
wounded. France thus lost 81 per cent
of her men under thirty-two years of
age.
Concerning material losses, Captain
Tardieu says that 100000 houses were
destroyed, 75,00o,0oO acres of arabic
Land laid waste and 5000 miles of rail-
road and $4,000 miles Of highways de-
stroyed. Mines which produced 55 per
cent of Frances total coal output were
damaged or destroyed; 1880 factories,
which before the war produced 90 per
cent of the woolen goods, 80 per cent Of
the linen material, 70 per cent Of the
sugar and so per cent Of the cotton
goods were crippled.
One-third of Frances ships were sunk
by German submarines. To defray the
cost of munitions of war and food sup
plies France had to raise more than
5000, 100000 francs, of which sum she
was forced to lend 1920 100000 to
foreign countries

hght by the publication of the report
or Frank L. Polk, Assistant Secretary
or State, there undoubtedly will be a
spirited and interesting press cam
palgn In this country regarding the
merits of the controversy.

comment except in the Liberal paper.
"Ihe Evening Star" 1t never over
looks chance to criticize any great
American corporation doing an inter
national business. In this instance
"The Star" says:
Just now there is an active anti
British campaign being waged in cer-
tam sections of American political life,
and it is natural that what appears to
be criticism Of the British oil policy
should be seized upon by those in
search Of another illustration of the
wickedness Of England. But there is
no evidence that President Wilson ac-
cepts all the statements in the report
or that he draws from those state
ments deductions which certain anti
British elements have been prompt to
draw"

french Bill aims to Pay
Debt by Stock Tupesfmenf

FARIS, May 10 (French Wireless
service). -- A bill designed to bring
about amortization of the French ma
t,onal debt has been introduced in the
Chamber of Deputies by several men,
oers, including M. Doumer. reporter Of
the Finance Committee.
The bill provides sinking fund to
be established by means of yearly pur-
chases of securities on the stock mar
ket. The securities would be held and
the interest used to purchase addi-
tional securities.
The authors of the bill contend that
an annual purchase of securities to the
amount of 1,000,0O0,OO0 francs would
permit amortization of debt of 2oo,-
000,000,000 francs within thirty-nine
years. Under the proposed law an an
preparation OF 1,0000OO,O00 francs
would be included in every years
budget from 1921. The bill also pro-
vldes that as soon as the securities
held reach total value of 100000
100000 francs, the whole amount is to
be used in redemption of the national
debt

Great Britain when France receives her
share of the German indemnity, and if
so, whether it would be possible for
Great Britain to repay her borrowings
from the United States on the same
conditions; namely, when Great Brit
ain receives her share of the indemnity.
French Debt to Britain
Mr.. chamberlain said Frances net
debt to Great Britain, after consider
able adjustments had been made, prob
ably would total under 100000 900.
NO definite arrangement of any Kind
was reached at Lympne regarding the
repayment by France of this debt" the
Chancellor continued, "but it was recog-
nized that it was desirable to reach a
solution of the problems arising out Of
the existence of these and similar debts
from one ally to another at the same
time as the problems of fixing the total
and method of payment of Germany's
Liability for reparation were being set
tied"
Mr.. Chamberlain was asked whether,
when Germany paid indemnity to
France, she would also be forced to
if Great Britain allowed France to de-
fer payment Of the loan. The Chan
cellor replied: at was agreed between
the two governments that payments
should be made in the terms of the
treaty, the cost of the army of occupa-
ton coming first and any sums allowed
Germany for food, maintenance and raw
material coming next. but there will
be no question of priority among the
Allies regarding the distribution Of
sums available in payment Of repara-
ton"
The nominal value Of French govern
ment treasury bills held by Great Brit
ain n respect to advances since 1914
was s518,440 900, Mr.. Chamberlain said,
but there were considerable adjust

PHILADELPHIA. May 1s.-sir Auck-
land Geddes, British Am ba ssador. came
here to-day to receive from the Frank
lin Institute for Sir Charles A. Par
sons, Of England, inventor Of the steam
turbine, the Franklin medal awarded
him. A party of Irish sympathizers ap-
peared In front Of the building carrv
ing banners bearing inscriptions de-.
manding freedom for Ireland. The
police kept them moving and gave them
no opportunity to heckle the visitor.
Americans and British should seek
to dispel the "cloud of misrepresenta-
ton and misunderstanding which tends
to separate them," Sir Auckland de-
clarcd tonight in accepting the medal.
The Ambassador said that never has
1t been SO imperative that relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States remain cordial.
mere are no MISUNDERSTANDING
that | know Of" he continued, "no lack
of complete cordiality. Yet many of
your newspapers are filled with strange
verbal pictures of what the British nre
or are not doing which make me rub nv
eyes and wonder how, when, where
such surprising stuff can be written.
There are newspapers in England-only
a few, thank God-that are filled with
equally weird descriptions Of the United
States, its motives and its plans"
Sir Auckland said he did not believe
in internationalism, but did recognize
that the many merits of national feel
ing always are liable to have some sub
traction made from them on the ground
that national patriotic enthusiasm is
apt to be associated with an attitude Of
hostility toward, OR more frequently
contempt for, other nations"
If tho hope for peace is to be full

necessary that one nation consciously
see the good in others,
"If We approach international ques-
tions in that light" he added, I'VE will
realize that other nations, like ours
are contributors to the common stock
OF knowledge on which civilization Is
founded"
1t was the Ambassador's opinion that
behind all difficulties that ever had
arisen between England and the
United States there always had been
rather formless but warm sentiment
of friendship associated with the word
America" in the average British mind.
ut will be all evil if that feeling is
changed into one of less cordiality,
Sir Auckland said. "Its existence is

placed in a book when the cap
ton runs the same way as the

as is normal, Some say that the
caption should be next to the

OF authority is that the caption on

be next the binding, and that the
caption on the right-hand page
should be next the right-hand
