MOST TOUCHING
NEW YEAR SCENES
STAGED IN FRANCE
Unfortunate Villagers Flock to
Midnight Mass in War
Wrecked Churches.

Paris, Jan. l.-(By Universal
Service. 1.-The devastated regions of
France furnished the worlds most
touching and picturesque scenes at
the dawning of the new year.
Throughout 1919 the villagers
tlocked back to the ruins of Lens.
Bethune, Arras, Pcronne, Chaulnes.
Cambria, Rheims, Verdun and dog
ems of other shattered cities. Many
have since lived in temporary huts
patched up within the shell-riddled
walls of their former homes, but the
majority have been leading exist
ences of troglodytes, living in eel
lars beneath shapeless masses of
debris.
On New Years eve, bearing
candles and kerosene flares, all these
unfortunate men, women and chill
dren, sailed forth from their cave
like dwellings and marched into
war-w Ike d roofess churches
where with prayer and chant they
ushered in the new era at solemn
midnight masses. Thus, with pa
thetic, enduring courage, so typical
OF the French country stock, they
voiced their firm confidence that
1920 will restore to them the home
comforts Of which they were de-,
prlved more than five years ago.

ties" was a declaration made BY
Howard Elliott, president of the

Difficult and serious as is the
plight of the railroads and of the
owners of $20,0O0,000,000 of railroad
property, it is not more serious thar
the condition facing the country
said Mr.. Elliott.
Transportation facilities must be
made available not only for the pres
ent volume of business, but for the
increases that a progressive nation
like the United States needs eacl
year.
Since the government took con.
troll only 100000 new freight car:
have been bought so that at the enc
of 1919 there probably are not more
than 100000 freight cars in the
country-slightly more than in 1915
1t is not too much to say that prob
ably $3,000,000,000 should be spent
for cars, engines and shop facilities
by American railroads within the
next few years if the country's trans.
portation needs are to be met"

He did not make any announcement
regarding reports, circulated in rail
