! had remained in Lens. At that time
the city was a mass of crushed
bricks and mortar. Its great power
plants had been reduced to debris
of broken machinery, while the mines
and their workings had been sys-
tematically ruined by high power ex-
p1osives Now the pumps work day
and night. and they have about sixty
million cubic yards of water still
to take out. The pumping is going
on at the rate of three thousand
cubic yards every hour. Many of the
pits have been lined with concrete
walls to keep out the inflowing
streams, and this costs something
like three hundred thousand dollar>

Bringing Back n CoaI-1finfng Center
There are now 5000 men employed
in the coal mines about Lens. most
of whom live in rude shacks of wood
or corrugated iron. But 5000 new
houses have already gone up, and
there will soon be enough for the
workers. The new homes are far
better than any of the miners homes
Il know in our country, with the ex-
ception of those in the Minnesota
iron region back of Duluth. where
the profits of the municipalities
from the leased mining lands are so
great that they have better school
buildings and public improvements
than in any other part of the United
States. Here each miner has a little
garden, where he can raise vege-
tables enough for his family. Coal,
electric light and water are free; and
the only lack, perhaps. is a bath
room. The average house of this
country is without a bath. The min
ing corporation is putting up a COM
munity bath house for every neigh
borhood; and it is giving free medical
service to the miners and their fam
lilies. The houses belong to the COM
pany. and are rented to the miners
for what at the present exchange is
80 cents per family per month.
In addition to the miners getting
out coal, there are 5000 workmen en-
ployed in building shaft houses and
plants, repairing the underground
galleries, and making more and more
of them ready for work. At present
there are 81 pits from which they are
taking out coal. and the monthly out
put is large.
Before the war, these mines about
Lens produced about one-tenth of all
the coal output of France. Their an
nual yield was about 100000 tons.
and the director of the company
which owns the mines tells me he
hopes to regain this production with
In three years. Before the war he
employed $4,000 men, who occupied
5000 houses. When IL ended every
mine was destroyed, and there were
only 80 houses left standing. This
story is told as to how the destruc-
tion was started: The founder of the
company was asked to go out with
some officers and soldiers. The re-
quest was. of course, command. He

came in they forbade any measures
begin taken to drain the mines or
protect the workings. In 1917 they
started systematic devastation, which
continue6 until the end of the war.
All the pits were dynamited AMI
flooded to such an extent that about
one-fifth of the coal production of
France was destroyed. The soldiers
went from shaft to shaft blowing up
the works, and leaving behind not a
single engine, boiler or train. The
electric machinery was taken out,
and by 1917 tho destruction of the
Lens mines was practically complete.
Before the Germans left they Sc.
off more explosives. and practically
destroyed all the coal mining ma
chinery of the invaded territory.
Making Over the Mines
The work of reconstruction began
as soon as tho French were able to
get hold of the region. The govern
ment organized commission of in
vaded mines and through a purchas-
ing syndicate placed orders for

the hands of the French, and a vast
deal of pumping and building Is be-
ing done now. BY 1920, 10 of tho
worst damaged shafts had been in
closed In cement, and a year later
more than 50.000,o0o cubic yards of
water had been taken out. BY tho
end of this year IL Is believed that
all except the deepest shafts Will
have been pumped out.

The surface work is enormous.
Much OF this has already been done.

paired. the stations rebuilt, and
thousands of houses are now going
