Paris, May 3.
Never, as far back as the longest
memory of the oldest inhabitant and
official records go. has Paris seen so
much rain as ii has since April l. Not
a day passes without at least one shower
and tho majority of the afternoons are
marked by continuous downpour,
spelling the pleasure of tourists. The
Seine is rising TO an alarming height
and the moro timid residents of Auteul
are fearing a repetition of the floods of
1910. which resulted in damage estl-
mated at millions of francs.
Passenger boats can no longer pass
beneath the bridges. and it Is expected
that barge traffic will be discontinued.
The water is beginning to seep into the
subcellars OF the Care d'Orsay and into
the easements of numerous buildings on
the left bank, necessltating the installa-
tion of pumps.
The most serious effect Is on the food
prices. Suburban gardeners report that
their vegetables are rottng from too
much water and that the seeds are being
washed away by the constant downpour.
PARIS. MAY 5.--Some concern Is felt
by the Ministry OF Agriculture over the
effect upon crops of the abnormaIly
heavy rains. Figures given in the OFF,
cidt Journal to-day show that on April
the condition OF the winter wheat. rye,
oat and hay crops was from to rs per

America Raising Barriers.

Europe Impovcrish ed.

Europe supplied America year after
year with substantial amounts OF new
capital for railway construction and
other purposes. Now. owing to the
war, Europe has sold back to the
United States most Of it's American
Investments, has borrowed vast sums
as we'll and still needs credits to as
sist her to reconstruct and regain her
prewar productive capacity.
Without credit Europe cannot be.
come even self-supporting. The prob
lem of continuing to buy what she
needs from America would be difficult
for Europe even il the war had merely
involved the loss OF her American in
vestments and the income therefrom
But this is only small part OF the
problem. Europe's own productive ca
pacity has been most seriously cur
tailed by the death and injury of so
many young men, as well as by the
physical damages she has sustained
At the same time she is no longer
receiving the vast quantities of food
and raw materials which Russia used
to send.
Indeed. Russia now wants to buy
food from America, first, as much as
she did before the war; second. enough
to make good her own diminished pro,

supplies OF food and material OF Rus

folly of war under modern conditions

and Europe TO face still another diff
Guilty America likes to sell to Europe,
but hates TO buy from Europe, and In
order not TO buy has placed n high

GENOA, May 5.--The American prob
lem Is one of great difficulty, but un-
less solution can be found hope of
the worlds recovery must be aban-
doned. America is able to supply Eu-
rope with the greater part of the
money she needs for restoration, and
unless this is done she herself will be
unable to sell the vast quantity of
food and raw and manufactured ma
terial which she is capable of produc-
she will be unable to sell
even the reduced quantity she is now
producing.
AS for Europe, her recovery is inn
possible unless America supplies the
money-that is to say, the credit, and
by means of credit the product Eu-
rope needs to borrow from her.
Since the war began Europe has
bought from America upward of
$4,000, 100000 worth of produce over
and above the quantity she was able
to pay for by sales to America of her
own goods. OF this amount about
S2,ooo,ooO,0oo worth Of produce was
on credit by Entente Gov
ernments during and shortly after the
war. The great fall in prices now has
greatly reduced the annual sum set

Europe is to be restored and at the
same time the standard of living of
her people is to be maintained at n
reasonable level Europe will need al,
the products America can supply for
some years.
VIII America be willing to supply
what Europe needs or will she subject
the peoples of Europe to great suffer-
ing and privation by refusal? That
is the question that must be answered.
The war has completely revised tho
economic relations Of America and
Europe. Before the war America was
the debtor to Europe. now she is the
creditor. Before the war Europe did
not need any great quantity of food
stuifs from the United States and had
no difficulty in paying for what it did

Chicago Flier Runs 1 1-2 Mile
 Race in s Min., AZ 2-5 Sec.

New York, Feb. 2.-Joie Ray, the Illinois streak, who came fully up to the waist of most of the rest of the field in the Rodman Wanamaker one and half mile run of the Millrose A. A. games in Madison Square Garden last night, won that contest in the spicy time of 6:42 3-5. and while reel ing off the laps in that record time lapped a few runners who were to make 1t interesting for him.
 Ray, so it was said, was running with a lanced toe. The member be- came infected and was lanced yester- day morning. A toe or two. however, seems to be nothing in Rays young life or else a lanced one merely adds piauancy to the strife, for he ran in superb style while looping off 4 4-5 seconds from the American indoor record for the distance, made by him. self in the same games in 1917.
 The Illinois streak lapped Harold Cutbill of Boston, who beat him a year ago and made good his boast that he'd give Cutbill the worst beat ing of his life. Anyway, it was con- siderable beating. Ray was faster in the last lap than any other time. Having lapped his man he was after the record, and cared nothing for an arrant toe or so. He could have gone all night with his toes punctured.
