ures attest the energy with which the
French people have set about the task
of rebuilding their ruined towns and
villages. and rstoring TO usefulness
| the farms, canals, railroads and mines
destroyed by the invading armies. The
! figures speak for themselves. Since
the armistce 2,l72,l67 persons have
been housed in buildings which have
either been repaired or constructed
wholly anew; ,403 postofiices in the
devastated areas have been reopened to
the public; 43 sos kilometers of road
have been rebuilt, and 2945 bridges
have been rebuilt out of the total de
stroyed of 1920; and 964.5 kilometers
of canals have again been put into

recorded in other lines. A total of
1886 villages and towns in which mu
nicipal organizations had been sus-
pended are again funetioning as mu-

have been reopened; l,3S4,02S hectares

their national treasury was virtually
empty. France has appropriated enor

of German gold so long arrested and
postponed. She has carried on her own
