How France Paid Her Ransom Fifty Years Ago

incidence was made at date
close to the fftieth anniversary Of
Frances payment Of the first part of
the ransom which Germany extorted
from her in the "Terrible Year.; and
which Bismarck and his colleague
Bleichroeder designed, in their own
phrase, to ''bleed France white" and
permanently cripple her economically.
Between the two indemnities there
Is a vast and radical difference. That
is, not in their amounts, though on the
face it might seem to be. France was
required to pay five milliards OF
francs, or approximately a billion dol
lars, while Germany is now required to
pay many times that amount. When,
however, we take into account the
enormous increase of national wealth
that has occurred in these fifty years
and the increased capacities of nations
FOR earning money, it seems not un-
reasonable to reckon that Germany. is
not now asked to pay proportionately
any more than she exacted from
France in 1871.
The real difference is two-fold. In
the first place, it is recognized that the
whole sum which Germany is asked to
pay is only fraction of what might
justly be demanded of her, since it is
only a fraction of the actual loss
which she inflicted upon the countries
which she attacked. After France and
Great Britain have received all that
they demand of her, they will still be
suffering enormous losses and hearing
heavy burdens occasioned by the war.
Indemnity Paid by France
Several Times Cost of War
/ But the sum extorted by Germany
from France was, according to Ger
i many's own confession and boasting,
several times larger than the entire
cost of the war to Germany. For it
was officially reported to the Reichstag
that the, total cost of the war to Ger
many. taking every conceivable item
into account, was only $27S,00 900.
Of the billion dollars extorted from
France, then, S722,0o0,0o0 was clear
profit to Germany.
This was in addition TO the extor-
tion Of many millions from the invaded
provinces during the war and Of s4o,-

higher officers. He called out fresh
classes of Greek reservists. The Veni-
zeiist operation in June and July, 1920,
under General Paraskeypoulos, had met
with immediate success. More than
100000 men were engaged in it. One
Greek force, pushing north from Manisa
made a junction north of Belikessi
with another force moving south from
Panderma, on the Sea of Marmofa
This junction cleared the territory
west to the Egean Sea. The united
armies then marched east, occupying
Brusa and Ismid, at the northern end
OF the line, and Ushak at the southern
end. At Ushak the Greeks held con-
troll of more than two-thirds Of the
length of the railroad running east
from Smyrna and joining the Constan-
tinople- -Bagdad line at Alum Kara
hissar.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-26
Venizeios Army Rests in
Secure Position in East

The Venizelos government was per-
fectly satisfied with this advance, made
with negligible losses. 1t protected
Smyrna and also served to hold off the
! Turkish Nationalist forces from the ap-
proaches to Scutari and Constantinople,
| which were defended by British troops.
Before the Greek elections in Novcm-
ber, 1920. the army of occupation had
been reduced to eight divisions-about
10000 men in all. The restoration gov
ernment, in order to maintain Greek
claims IN Asia, announced that it would
continue to hold the occupied territory
and fulfill Greeces obligations under
the Sevres treaty. But the 10000 men
available were hardly more than enough
to defend the Smyrna, or southern,
! front So Constantine reinforced the
Asian garrison and substituted General
Papolas, one of his adherents in the
troublous times before his expulsion,
for General Patraskevopulos as COM
| mander in chief. The Turkish Nation
alist regime had meanwhile, greatly
strengthened itself Even if the Allies
had delayed their revision program,
military and political prudence would
have led Tino to seek to improve the
situation in Asia by new offensive.
This second Greek operation, follow
ing the London conference, had as its
objectives the two important railroad
functions of Eskishehr and Alum
Karahissar--both on the Constantine
ple-Bagdad trunk line. From the
former branch line runs east to An
CORA, KemaPs capital. At the latter
| the Smyrna branch line connects with
the main system. By capturing these
two points the Greeks would take from
the Turks their vital line of COM
munications and throw them back into
the interior. Angora would be cut off
from the Constantinople front and also
from Cilicia, where truce with the
French had just relieved several Turk
ish divisions for employment else
where.

Army Paraded in Paris
10 Humiliate the French

That former Treaty of Versailles
was signed on February 26, 1871, and
on March l it was ratified by the
National Assembly at Bordeaux. Never
IN history had so heavy forfeit been
imposed upon a beaten power. After
Waterloo, in 1915, the indemnity de-
mapded from France was only $780,
o00,ooO, and the maintenance of the
army of occupation and all other costs
did not bring it above $500 100000, for
payment Of which the time of five years
was granted.

100000 from the city of Paris to the
paying of the cost of maintaining a
German army of occupation in France
until the last franc was paid, and of
course, the seizure of two of the rich
est provinces of France Deducting
the $65,000,o00 allowed by Germany
for the railroads of Alsace- Lorraine,
1T is calculated that France was COM
pelled to pay to Germany, all told,
fully $1,1o0,O00,0oO in gold coin, and
it was required that it should all be
paid within two years.
The other point of difference was
this, that while now the Allies have
shaped their whole policy with respect
to the indemnity, to the end that Ger
many shall not be crippled or pros
trated, but rather shall be assisted to
get upon her economic feet again, it
was the deliberate purpose of Germany
IN 1871 to impoverish and crush France
beyond hope of recovery. 1t was as
sumed that it would be quite impos-
slble for France to pay the ransom
from her own resources and that she
would be compelled to seek a loan from
German bankers, which would make
her financial dependent of the lat
ter power. Germany sought to com
plete in the act of peacemaking what
she had undertaken in the war, which
Jules Favre accurately described when
he said: "She coldly and systematical
ly pursues her task of annihilating
US" 1t may be added that M. Favre
was equally accurate in his prophecy,
when he said in the same message,
from Tours, in October, 1870: France

Constantine Sees Chance
To Win Support of Allies


Some concessions at Greece's exnense
IN ihrace We're also authorized.
Both the Turkish governments were
pretty we'll satisfied with these terms
and naturally so. But Constantine
rejected them. He preferred to carrv
on a war on his own account against
Nustapha hemal, holding that if he
snould take Angora and destroy the
Nationalist armies he would be in a
position to convince the Allies that
Greece ought to be allowed to stay on in
Asia. To the Allies he was an un,
qualified nuisance. But the Kemalists
were also nuisance, especially as they
were constantly dickering with Lenine
and might be tempted to cooperate
with him in stirring up trouble in
Persia and Afghanistan. One nuisance
was therefore allowed to fight ii out
against the other.
Constantine began his march on An

Dearest Kitty
 got so tired -Of admiring the great beauty or the West that ! fared forth, last night, to a pie ture show. You should have been with me. When I got into the theatre there was ne movie at all. The stage had a rope around it and there were three men in side behaving in a very eXJraor- dinary manner, and dressed most astonishingly. One of them was adorned in a pair of the brightest green swimming trunks you ever saw, and the other one was dress ed to the same degree of brevity but less brilliantly. The third man was clothed, but obviously not in his right mind He kept rushing in and pulling the other two apart which didn't do d oi; of good, because they just jump ed mp and down in the air like a couple Of bantam roosters and flew back al each other.
 1 thought at any moment that they would jump. over the ropes and get out. They looked so in- sane that I nearly left the thea tre at the thought of such a pos. sibility. But, my dear, 1 just couldn't It's queer you know. but green has always had some strange fascination Tor me and just couldn't take my eyes off that swimming suit. Suddenly bell rang.
