5000, 100000 francs a year. It is
now more than $4,000, 100000 francs
Our taxation was formerly 10
francs per capita, and it is now
over 400 francs, and the people are
paying the new taxes cheerfullv.
we are paying our expenses; we
have paid off a large part of the
war debt; we have supplied 25,O00,-
100000 francs to the reconstruction
OF the devastated departments; we
have paid over 5000, 100000 francs
in pensions to the wounded the
widows and the orphans, and we
are now paying 20O,0oO,00O francs a
month to Germany for coal. Ge~-
many says she must have it to fee j
the miners; that was the plea she
made to get the money from France,
but she is using it for propaganda.
Il have been shown the proof that
this money that France is paying to
Germany for coal is being used for
propaganda. And l have seen the
evidences of this propaganda here in
America. l have been we'll over the
country in the Middle West and the
Northwest and the South, and
everywhere l have been l have seen
the evidences of this German prop
aganda, the endeavor to estrange
France and America and to cause
a rift between the Allies. That is
what Germany is trying to do-to
open fissure in the alliance, so
that she will not have to carry out
the provisions of the Treaty of Yer
sailles.
Think of the position. For the
first time in history the victorious
nation is paying money to the van
quished. France is paying 2Oo,-
100000 francs month to Germany,
New-York tribune., 1920-12-19

and Germany has not paid penny
of indemnity to France. And Ger
many is trying to raise trouble
among the Allies so that she will not
have to pay. There is the trouble
that France has. She does not want
money or gifts. She wants the al
lance to remain solid and unbroken
so that Germany will be compelled
to pay. France has had ten depart
ments devastated in the war. Ger
many has lost nothing, not CHM
ney knocked down. but it is France
that is paying Germany. If America
could see and feel and understand
what it is to be the country that
has been ravished and wasted by a
war of aggression she would feel
with US that it is Germany that
should pay and not France. But
America has been untouched by IN
vasion; her wounds heal quicker
than ours; the memory passes, while
with us it stays; the marks are
there upon our country.
What France needs is the sup
port and backing of America to
make Germany hold to the pro-
visions of the treaty"
How is the spirit of the French
people?"
Marvellous. Marvellous. They
pay the tremendously increased
taxes with the greatest cheerfulness.
We pay now and it will be over
with so much the sooner they say.
You know what the French working
man is. He is thrifty and steady
He works and saves. There is chaos
in England and near -Bolshevism IN
Italy. But there is none of that IN
France. Everybody works hard and
uncomplainingly and looks to the
future"

a menace in itself. 1t will burn it.
self out. The danger is that through
Bolshevism Germany will get control
of Russia, which she is trying to do
and with her control of the immense
hordes of Russia will try again to
overrun the world. We may see an
alliance between Germany, Russia
Japan and perhaps China. Germany
and Japan will certainly come to-
gether An alliance there cannot be
avoided"
"How are the relations between
France and England, General?"
"The alliance is firm. There are
conflicts of interest, but the alliance
is firm. England is in state of un-
rest. There are labor troubles.
There is almost Bolshevism. There
Is the Irish trouble. There are con-
f1icts of interest between France
and England, but both are in dam
ger. France can be attacked on
land, but England is in as great
danger from the air as France is on
land. Oh, yes, the alliance will re-
main firm while the danger is equal,
and it equal now.'
What is the situation in France ."
France is sound and strong. At
fairs are at low level, you under
stand, but the base is strong. We
are not asking for financial help
from other countries, from America
or England. Before I left Paris ]

A Gems Reputed Powers

VSh1 ANCfJutCu i overs
Among the oldest gems in the
jewel house is the sapphire of Ed.
ward the Confessor, which was ORIG.
lnally set in his coronation ring. 1t
was buried with him in his shrine IN
Westminster, but in 11O1 the shrine
was broken open and this and othe,
jewels were removed. The sapphire
is now in the cross on the ton of
the Kings state crown. Lerend
has it that St. John once apneared
before Edward the Confessor as a
pilgrim and the King gave him the
ring. A short time later the ring
was returned to the king with q
message telling the day of his death.
Ihe stone is reputed to have the
power of curing sciatica and rheu-
matlsm, but it has not been used
lot TINS purpose recently.
