FRANCE GETTING BACK ..
81. ON INDUSTRIAL FEET

+ Paris, Sept. 10. tBy Mall
an, industrial standpoint, Frances
devastated regions are at last able to
sit up and take notice.
This is the latest bulletin of the
French Reconstruction Minister who
after taking the pulse of his pet pa
tient in the, form of an industrial
census, finds that said pet patient
isn't as bad off as is the "Sick Man
of Europe"-since the latter signed
the Turkish treaty.
s Frances reconstruction doctor finds
that on September 1, the devastated
regions numbered 1905 Industrial
establishments that were employing
twenty or more people. OF this total
3,1O6 or nearly %76 per cent reported
that they had resumed in full or in
part their pre-war activity and out
put. fz@.. -.
OF the various departments includ-
ed in: this devastated industrial CEN
slls that of Meurthe and Moselle, of
which Nancy is the capital, heads
the list with 80 per cent of her in
sdustries back in operation. The Ar
dennes, where the Doughboys put the
touch on the German occu-
patton, comes nextwith 81.8 per cent
and finally the department du Nor(l
comes third with 80 per cent. Lille,
the principal city of this department
has 1872 per cent of her industries in
operation again.
In 1914 the 3,1O6 establishments
mentioned above as having resumed
operation employed total of 49,
388 workmen. Today they employ
already 325,490 or nearly 43 per
cent Of their original personnel.
In the department of the. Vosges
the industries are working 81 per
cent of their full pre-war stats; In
the Department du Nord 5O.7 per
cent and in the Department of Mour-
the and Moselle 4S per cent Amongst
the cities of Lille again tops the list
with 62.7 per cent of her pre-war
personnel back to work.
From the standpoint of industry,
the percentage of employees now
back at work as compared with the
number employed before the war is
as follows: Textile workers, 49.2 per
cent; stone and terra Gotta workers,
AL per cent; metal workers, 45.9
per cent.
The resumption of these establish
ments in the devastated regions is
now becoming so rapid that the
French Minister of Reconstruction
is confident that by next year his
pet patient will be able to give the
corresponding competitive German
industries good stiff. stab in the
ribs.
