Paris, Aug. 14.-(Mail. 1.-THE num-
Der of marriages in France has
doubled, the number Of births in
creased, while fewer deaths are reg
istered in 1920 than in 1913, the last
full year of peace. This is shown by
the official figures just published by
the ministry of labor. The excess of
births over deaths in 1920 was 159,-
$50, as compared to 1914 in 1913.
The marriages totalled 623,869 in
1920 against 312,036 in 1913.
Tho significance OF these figures is
Increased when it is remembered that
the total population of France has
decreased sensibly as a result of the
war.

tendency toward isolation has been
slowly overcome by various moves
made by the Harding Administration
particularly in being willing to attend
meetings of the Supreme Council and
in the calling of the armament con-
ference itself. But the impression
created by French tactics here is to
cool the ardor of the Administration
toward more conferences with Euro
pean powers, particularly France.
Another thing-the Supreme Coun-
Gil is meeting at Cannes to discuss
the economic reconstruction of Eu-
rope and there are plans for the
bringing of both Germany and Rus
sia into the conference. The United

attend. The drift here has been TO-

effect of her obstructive tactics will
long be felt in the Washin ton Ad-
ministration in the years Immediate
ly ahead of us. France has given an
impression of erratic tactics and dis
cord which so nearly squares with
the difficulties President~Wilson had
at Paris that there is good ground for
believing that the Washington
Administration may tend to draw fur
ther and further away from European
questions of an economic as we'll as
political character until the Euro
peans themselves, particularly France
give evidence of better spirit toward
the maintenance of peace on the

Ambassador affirmed that France
needed submarines for her protection,
but added that the French naval sit
uation had been misunderstood by
many.
He said France launched a naval
program in 1872, but ships begun
then were never completed, and dur
ing the war France had no capital
ships. He declared France was the
first to scrap capital ships, independ-
emily of the disarmament conference,
and as a result of the conference she
had accepted conditions which would
greatly restrict her naval operations
and leave her with less than a squad
ron of capital ships.
All this, he said, France did in the
hope of perpetuating peace, but she
was unwilling to see her defensive
naval force reduced below the point
of absolute safety in the defense of
her coast line and her colonies

she is forgetting the effect urOn the
United States. Unfortunately for
France nobody in the delegation here
seems to be strong enough to shape
French policy which is being mapped
out in Europe irrespective Of effects
upon America Some observers have
suggested that France is revenging
herself for the failure of the United
States to ratify either the Versailles
treaty or the defensive treaty be-
tween Great Britain, United. States
ald France Others are saying that
France is playing for a British guar
antee of French security and that at
the proper moment she will yield her
demand for large armament. But the
most important phase of the whole
matter. at least so far as European
economic reconstruction is concerned,
hinges upon friendly attitude on
the part of the Hughes ad-

The feeling here is that France is
unyielding her attitude on the build
ing of submarines largely because Of
the Franco-British friction which has
been developing ever since the end
of the European war. The move of
France in asking for more submarines
is regarded as purely anti-British
and as a means of offsetting what the
French claim to be anti-French tao
tics in Europe on the part of the
British especially in relation to Near
Eastern questions and growing con-
cord as between England and Ger
