Just the opposite OF the other-ths

JUSSERAND SAYS
FRANCE HONORS DEBTS.

FfGANCE HONOhS DEb1S.
Washington, Mar. 2.-Declaration
that there are 100000 citizens Of
France who stand behind the nation S
war-contracted obligations was made
by Jules Jusserand, French Ambassa-
dor to the United States, speaking at
the opening session here of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress.
81 read the other day where there
was one man in France opposed to
payment of our debts" said the Am
bassador, "and I want to say that
there are 39,OOO,OOO loyal French
ment who stand squarely behind
Frances obligations, and I am one
of the 39,OOO,OOO.'
NJ Jusserand described the destruc-
tion of the canal systems of Northern
France during the war period; told
of the work done by American engi-
neers when the United States entered
the war, and said there was no un-
employment today in France. He de-
|clared there was activity in every field
and that the people realized that this
activity was necessary if France was
to meet her obligations to those ma
tions who aided her at a crucial per-
iod of her history.
