II. RANCE HAS WORKED ! Ut
VERITABLE MIRACLES
Period of Reconstruction and
Readjustment in France
Is Shortened
!. By Henry Wood

u United Press Correspondent
l 5;$@ Paris, Nov. 10.-Within two years
after the signing of the armistice,
4 France has worked two veritable mir
iEacles-+one of REIMBURSEMENT and one
Tof reconstruction.
3S;ss{s AS a result OF this miracle OF re-
adjustment, although France was the
one allied country that suffered the
most from the war, and the one coun-
try in which the increase in the cost
/ Of livingsMas the greatest, she is the
only one Of the big Allied powers,
who today is, entirely free from any
strikes or social unrest of an eco
nomic nature.
Furthermore, she is the only one OF
the big Allied powers who in the
same period of time has been able to
free herself fully and definitely from
the menace of Bolshevism. The death
knell of the latter was sounded
month ago when in national conven-
ton at Orleans: the French Fedora
tion of Labor almost unanimously
condemned the leaders who up UNI
til eight months ago ordered and sup
ported political strikes among the
French workingmen.
;E} Instead Of waiting, as much OF the
+ rest of the world has done, for eco
nomic life to re-establish itself on the
pre-warj basis, France saw at once
that this would never happen and
Immediately readjusted herself to the
! new economic life imposed by the
war :
- The official statistics of the Allied
countrie place the increase in the
cost of living in France as a result of
the war@at 800 per cent.

cap. official figures of the French
Ministry Of Public Instruction, show

/ 200 to 800 per cent.
80 1t is this quick readjustment of the
whole economic basis Of French life
to the new standard of living created
by the war. that has left France en-
tirely free from industrial strikes for
the past7nine months and has wiped
out completely the menace of BOlshe-
vism.
- All France is hard at work today
on fairly contented basis to repair
the havoc and damages wrought by
the war:
Like all other Allied nations in Eu-
rope, one Of the greatest damages to
France from the war was the increase
+ in her importations and the decrease
in her expectations resulting in the
4 frightful decrease in, the value of
French money in foreign countries.

TWO DOUBLE-HEADERS

MANY ATTEND GAMES

With considerable surplus steam
blown off by reason of the startling
upsets of last Sunday, suburban league
baseball teams will sail in more peace
full waters Sunday
The poppy Shamrocks and Lynn
will take part in one of the two-timers
and New Paris and New Madison the
other. All four games should be hum
mers. However, New Paris will prob
ably have less trouble with New Madi-
son than Lynn will have with the
Shamrocks.
This latter team has been playing
good ball for more than a month. 1t
is composed of players under 20 years
old. Runnells, who pitched a master
full game against Boston last Sunday,
is only IS. He is also a terrific
slugger.
Eldorado, league leader. will take
the road for the first time Sunday
Centerville will be the objective Cen
tervllle fans are getting peeved be-
cause Of Centerville's recent slip on
the standing ladder. Because of this
the perfect percentage of Eldorado
stands good chance of being nicked.
The game will demonstrate Eldorado's
ability as a travelling team.

With crowds that average about 800
turning out for each game, the league

COMMISSION AT WORK
ON RAILROAD PLEAS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. July 7.-Examin-
alton Of testimony presented at hear
ings extending over several weeks was
started today by the interstate COM
merce commission in preparation for
its decision on the application of the
railroads of the country for increased
freight rates amounting to at least
$1,000, 100000 annually. The last Of the
hearings was held yesterday with ship
pers and the carriers presenting their
final arguments.
The commission is expected to hand
Gown it's decision on the application
about August i. While no announce
ment has been made by the commits
sion, it is considered likely that the
decision will provide for adjustment of
rates so as to cover any wage increas-
es given employees by the railroad labor
board in its forthcoming award.

MEET; WON'T talk

Nothing for publication said the
Rev. j. J. Rae, chairman, regarding
action taken by the board of direct
ors of the Richmond Rotary club at a
meeting in the Y. NJ. c. A, Wednesday
noon.
The committee was to consider
among other things, the request of
the Multi-X company, that the Rotary
club take the place of a commercial
club, and report on the company's
desira bility as a city asset.
The Rev. Rae said the findings and
report would be referred back to the
Rotary club. At that time the full
report will be announced. The next
meeting of the club is Tuesday noon,
unless a special session is called.
William Bockhoff and Harry Dill
were appointed to represent Rich
mond at a state housing committee

SYSTEM FOR FIREMEN
CHOSEN; Men TO Be
ALLOWED TO SLEEP

Richmond fire department will adopt
the II hour day for the day men and
Is hours for the night men when the
platoon system goes into effect, Aug. I,
Fire Chief Miller announced Wednes-
day. The men who are on duty at
night, with the exception Of one man
in each company who will be on watch,
will be allowed to sleep, the chief
said.
A number Of plans were proposed
but the fremen favored the above
system. They were allowed to express
their preference, by Chief Miller, who
sent a QUESTIONABLE to the various
engine houses asking the men to vote
for the system that they would rather
have.
Recommendation of the II and 10
hour system has already gone in to
the board of works, and it is expected
to approve the chiefs report at the
next meeting.
Many applications have already
come in for the new positions that
will be created, when the system goes
into effect. 1t will be necessary to
hire Is more men than are employed
row.
Claim System is Best.
opOuSOlS OIL lIlS lleW I6lu are Sll-
thusiastic. They claim that from the
humanitarian standpoint, the two pla-
toon system is best, that it is equally
good from the standpoint of fire protec-
ton, and that there is no comparison
between the new system and the con-
tinuous service system from the stand
point of a contented personnel.
1t has been claimed that firemen re-
leased from duty on the off shift under
the platoon system will not respond to
double alarms. Advocates of the
system insist that Richmond. firemen
will not pay any attention to the fact
that they are off duty, but will respond
to all serious alarms regardless Of
what shift is supposed to be on duty.
Meal hours will be eliminated under
the new system, thus affording
stronger fire fighting force on hand at
all times. 1t will also attract a higher
grade of men to the service and is a
natural step forward toward the goal
of better fire protection, the fire chief
said

REDS FACE A LONG

EASTERN INVADERS

CINCINNATI. O., July From
July to 25 inclusive. the Cincinnati
Reds will undergo a gruelling test for
leadership in the National league. The
Boston Braves, opening a four game
series with the Reds Thursday, are
the pathfinders of the second invasion
by eastern teams. After the Braves
come the Phillies. Then the ambit-
ious Dodgers will strike Cincinnati
Tor five games. New York closes
Dopesters figure that Cincinnati
should fatten upon Boston and Phila-
delphia. Dopesters also figure that
the Pirates, Cubs and Cards will prove
more than a match for the invaders.
The Reds evened the series with
Pittsburg by 7 to 2 walloping Tues
day afternoon. The grounds were very
muddy but the Reds jumped on three
Pirate hurlers for IA hits. Jimmy
Ring held the Pirates at all stages OF
the game. The score:

MERITS AND EAGLES
CLASH NEXT SUNDAY

The Indianapolis Merits, the fastest
travelling team from Indianapolis, will
furnish opposition TO the rushing
Richmond Eagles at Exhibition Park
Sunday afternoon.
The Eagles, since winning from
Hamilton and Piqua, have grown
chesty and figure on going through
the rest Of the season without a
defeat.
Manager Haas has announced that
the prodigal members of the team. Lo-
gan and Fitzgibbons, will be back in
the lineup Sunday. This will further
increase the offensive power of the
Eagles and Logan and Fitz are per-
haps the most consistent hitters of
the lot.
Haas has also said that MINER will
hurl for the Eagles against the Merits
The Eagle program will now probably
be Hawekotte in the box one Sunday
and MINER the next. Both hurlers
are about on a par and can be depend
ed upon to hurl a good game if given
proper support.
