In presenting the telegram Charles

was strongly opposed to government

said no general set rule relative to this
matter could be laid down
Chairman Reed said that various
publishers in their testimony had in

Brown replied that that attitude was
IN part due to fears of the Sherman

paper owners from various commune

he felt certain a solution in the
public's interest would be found.

He said he knew of no boarding of

What France Gave

During the summer of 1917, when the first, American troops came to French had already been fighting for thirty-seven months. They had lost, up to that time,--killed, dead, hope lessly wounded. missing and prison ers.--2, ,os3, 900 men.
 Figures are impressive, yet the 9reater their number the less one fails to grasp what they signify. To ray that the Germans destroyed 1,500 French locomotives and 50,000 rail way cars in the first days of the war, that later they sunk over a million tons of French ships, is a cold-blood- ed proposition. But when you realize that fishing is one of the prosperous occupations in France, that Boulogne alone sells every year $5,000,000 worth of fish brought in by the nets off her coast, that out of the total Of,7S,000 fishermen. 31,000 have now lost their barks and find themselves with no means of earning a liveli- hood, you begin to wonder how their children and their wives have managed to subsist during these long terrible months.
 The invaded regions of northern France. although small in extent, were the wealthiest in the whole country and they yearly contributed more than 20 per cent of the French taxes. One million agricultural i'm plemetfs have been destroyed in these departments; 36,0O0 horses, l. 100000 head of cattle, 3S,5O0 pigs, etc, have been killed or stolen by the enemy.
