RECONSTRUCTION WORK IN FRANCE
 TERMED MIRACLE
Publisher Declares Victory Of Peace Nails Lie That :.
 People Not Working. ;

NEW YORK, Sept 17.-Frances victory of peace" in her reconstrue-l tion mails the lie that her people New York publisher declares after al period of research at Paris whence he recently returned.
 Offering statistics showing remark able rehabilitation in former deyas tated regions, where German divis- ions wrought havoc in industrial, farming an mining sections, MT. Houston characterizes the recovery of the curren issue of Worlds Work miracle Of the Marne." In an article of the current issue of Warld's Work he says:
 To-day, less than two years from the Armistice, the population of the devastated regions has grown from less than 2,O00,000 to more than A. 100000 approximately three quarters of the pre-war population"
 American committees have done much to help France rebuild, MT. Houston declares, adding that intro duction of farming machinery to the French peasant was probably Am ericas best contribution.
 "As a result to a considerable de- gree of this mechanical assistance, greatly increasing the producing pow ar of the fewer producers, the devas- tated regions in 1920 will raise enough crops for food" he predicts
 On the industrial reconstruction of France. Mr Houston asserts that 300, 900 workers now are employed in French mills and 2,627 of the 3.508 factories destroyed in the war have resumed production. During the war the destruction in mill cen ters was very great. 80 per cent of the textile mills in Lille having been destroyed; all 40 mills in Ar mentieres wiped out; in Fourmies only 50.0G0 bobbins remained out of 100000 and Roubiax and Turcoing had the same degree of destruction" !"

producing again with about 5000 miners working where 17,0O0 labored before the war. Within five or six years after that she expects to be working up to three quarters of the before-the-war production.
 "The lie that France is not at work should be scared on the lips of everyone who utters it." whites Mir Houston "If she is not at work, how can she be reclaiming her fields. rebuilding her roads and houses and factories and towns, and re-establishing the shattered life over one fifth of her territory? That she is doing that, anyone can see who visits France or who takes the small trouble to- look up the facts. And she is doing it before she received the indemnity pledged to her by the peace treaty and repledged again and again by every one of her allies"

WOULD YOU EXTEND $250,000 TO MEET A
 BEAUTIFUL WOMAN?

Would you expend $250,000 just to meet a beautiful and exclusive society woman? That's just what Buddy" McNair, hero of Venus in the East" the Paramount photoplay starring Bryant Washburn did, and why and how he did it is shown by the picture which will be presented at the Coliseum Theatre for the last time tonight.
 He saw a picture in a New York Sunday paper. It was a photograph of Miss Pat Dyvenot, and Buddy called her his Venus in the East.
 He fell head oyer heels in love and went to New York to meet her, He thought the meeting could be arranged easily enough, but old Pom tius Blint. his New York representa-. tive, gave him the right tip.

 But Fate favored Buddy. Mrs. Pat lost her costly jewels. So Buddy went to a jeweler and bought a dup licate set just for the chance of meeting the aloof Mrs. Pat.

Armenia as a Mandate.

President Wilson has accepted tho
very generous invitation of the states.
men assembled in san Reno for the
4 United States to accept a mandate over
Armenia, known as the worlds poor
house"
The president. in his recommendation
TO congress says he urges that this be
done lin the earnest belief that Il will
Re the wish Of the reope Of the United
States,
We are sure the president again has
misinterpreted the views OF the people
Of this country. II there Is any senti-
ment for Armenia as mandatory il
has not been advocated, nor has there
been any agitation Of any consequence
for the United States to accept man
datory over any European nation, not
even over the prosperous and profta-
BILE countries that England, France and
japan have psrceled out among them
selves. Last OF all would this country
be justified in assuming burden such
as Armenia presents.
A mandate such as proposed would
mean standing army OF $4,000 or
more American soldiers in Armenia
more than 5000 miles away, The estl-
mate of $4,000 is made on peacetime
basis Wherever the American army is
sent II must be sufficient In numbers
and equipment TO sustain itself in any
difficulty. We could not afford to
send an inadequate army to Europe
and place II at the mercy OF the Turks
Tho least estimate Is more than 1000
boys from each state In the union. The
present rate Of enlistment would not
Justify such an army, and the only re-
course would be TO put the sclcCtive
terNice law into effect and draft enough
boys to take part in the struggles that
have gone on from the beginning and |
give no evidence of ever ending
A mandate over Armenia would fur |
Their subject this country to an ever |
Present possibility of conflict with some |
Of the great European powers We |
could not escape their suspicious or
then mistrust, Instead OF being an act
OF peace 1t would be a temptation to
preeipitate war,
There are problems enough in the |
United States TO command the undvid- |
ed attention and the best thought OF |
the statesmen and the wisest men OF |
the generation Our present difficulty IS |
largely attributable TO the disposition
TO attend to foreign affairs to the neg
lect Of domestic problems.
President Wilson made no inquiry
concerning the wishes Of the Amcri- |
can people in this matter, but there can
be no doubt that he sincerely believes
as he states, that It is their earnest
wish. There are, OF course thousands
who viii agree with him in this as they
agree with him in all things, but the
thinking people, the people who want
to see the pactfying influence Of the
government applied at home before it
assumes any such obligation abroad,
will contend that domestic issues for
the present are much moro urgent and
certainly much more in keeping with
the theory Of local f-governmcnt.
