aspects of the occupation of the Ruhr,
these weather-hardened refugees are
plugging away from sun to sun to re-
store their cottages and replant their
gardens.
This is their one object. True to
the temperament of the average pro-
vlnclal Frenchman, these repatriated
men and women want only the oppor-
tunity of remaking homes for them
selves; places where they will no
longer be patronized as refugees;
places where they may till the soil
and enjoy it's fruits. They waste no
time discussing the Ruhr, and are
willing to leave such things to their
political leaders if only they them
selves may be left unhampered in
their efforts to prosper the land which
once formed such fertile part of
France.
A correspondent Of The Associated
Press who has made a tour of the

factor of all has been and still is the
sheer will on the part of the people
to restore.
