France is rapidly rcgaining her pow

On the other hand, France has a
remarkable record Of no uncmploy-

Owing to the fact that her great

is in a much more favorable position

MISSING LOCAL GIRL .
NOW AT MINNEAPOLIS
Jordice Wallace. Whc Disap-
peared Afs tair,
Writes Aaunt

Jordice Wallace, the fifteen-year-
old Bemidji girl, who disappeared
right afteN the close of the state
fair, has been located and is living
with Mrs. Glenn Lloyd of Minneap-
oils, an old time friend of the family.
Jordice was put on the train by her
cousin, Lyle Judkins, and her inten-
tons were then to come to Bemidji.
Enroute she met Brainerd woman
and daughter, with whom she became
acquainted at the fair grounds, and
when they reached Brainerd Jordice
apparently decided to stop with the
woman. She accepted position as
governess in the Brainerd home at
514 Seventh street and remained
there until last Monday.
She then decided to 60 back to
Minneapolis and has accepted posi-
ton at the Lloyd home, which enables
her to attend school half day and
look after the children the other
half.
This information has been receiv-
ed in a letter from Jordice to her
aunt, Mrs. Christie Croft, with whom
she has been making her home for
years. Mrs. Croft stated that she
will permit Jordice to remain in Min
neapolis for the time being, as she
is DESTROYS that everything be done
for the child's happiness and welfare
She also wishes to express her ap-
probation to the many 4riends who
were interested in and who helped
her locate JOrdice.

AUSTRIA EXPECTS ALLIES
TO PUT DAMPER ON KARL

Vienna, Oct. 1.-Austria expects
the allies to prevent former Emperor
Karl from using West Hungary as a
base Of operations in his new cam
paign to regain the Hungarian thron e.
The Austrian government today sent
a note to the Council Of Ambassadors
meeting in Paris, calling attention to
West Hungary's action proclaiming
itself independent.
Austria fears that Karl's adherents
az behind him in this movement, and
if Karl can get from Switzerland to
West Hungary he will be proclaimed
king and then extend his attack to
the remainder of the country.
The Budapest government denied it
had anything to do with the decision
of independence.

RESIDENTS OF GERMANY
TAXED ON EVERYTHING
BY Carl D. Groat,
tied Press Staff Correspondent

(Unlteu lfeSS SlaI COffeSpOlluelil)
Berlin, Oct. 1.-If one lives in Ger
many, he is taxed; if he dies, he is
likewise taxed. At least, the city of
Frankfurt am Main has hit upon the
novel idea of charging tax upon
burials. If one drinks mineral water,
he is taxed; and if he drinks schnapps
he is taxed more.
If one plays a piano at home, there
is another tax; and if one wants to
hear music in theatre, there is still
another tax. The tax on "enjoyment'
has had the effect Of closing more
than 100. movie houses here in the
past few months, and has driven ev-
cry circus out Of Germany, either to
England, France or Holland.
The latest wrinkle in taxes is re-
ported from Saxony, where a head
tax is placed upon pigeons, geese and
cats. The tax on geese has caused
much objection, for it has struck at
the very heart, or rather stomach, OF
Germany, since roast goose is the
Thanksgiving turkey of the Teuton.
Beer, likewise great national in
stitution, is heavily laden, and the
authorities are planning to tax, as
well, vinegar, oxygen, coal, wood and
advertising posters.
Income taxes will run very heavy.
The Saxon premier, for instance, has
a yearly income Of 7G,500 marks
less than $1,000 at the present cx-
changc-and must pay more than a
fourth thereof at once in income tax

Paris. Oct. LIN common with
most of the world. France is hit scVe-
RELY by general depression, OF bus
mess and economic conditions.
That usually accurate barometer
Of national prosperity-thc lmpor~
tation and expectation STATISTICS
shows storm clouds in heavy de-
creases in the vital items.
But in reading any statistics re-
garding Frances economic status,
figures Of her terrible war losses and
wonderful unconstitutional effort
must be considered simultaneously
TO cite only few-1 1854 900 mGh
killed, 4,57l 900 acres Of arabic land
devastated, the great ind ustrifsl ana
coal basin Of the North Eng1ef:; =:
These figures serve to partially
nullify the statistics usually relied
upon by economists.
Against these figures stand $780,
600 acres cleared and put under cul-
tivation, 3,G45 factories resumed
work out Of 400 ruined, 1926 miles
of roads rebuilt, 2,202 miles of rail-
ways reconstructed.
On the opposite side Of the ledger
are the figures of importation and cX-
portation. After rising by leaps since
the armisticc, the exports show a
marked setback. As compared with
the similar seven months Of 1920,
expectations decreased in value from
fourteen billion francs to twelve bill
lion francs.
The most disquieting feature of
the statistics is the unprecedented
drop of importation Of raw materials
from fifteen billions Of francs to five
billions.
