Mr.. Ford's currency idea is plan

To Restore Churches. -Ecclesiastic-

that some of the cost Of rebuilding

and liquidated as the indemnities
which Germany is obligated to pay be-

offered by M. Louis Martin at the re-

ing that Canon Thouvenin, diocesan
director of "Oeuvres," has adopted the
principle advocated by M. Martin.
Canon Thouvenin gave an account OF
the way in which he had conducted
large part of the work of reconstruc-
ton in Lorraine. The cooperative
of Lorraine calls conferences of archi-
tects, builders and contractors, divides
the work among them, files orders for
materials of all kinds and then floats
loan. The necessary funds for the
repayment of the debt are then col.

awarded the Cross of the Legion OF
Honor to Monsignor Thouvenin in
recognition of his work in Lorraine.
