How Tourists Paw

The value OF what are called lin
visible exports in nations economy
Is clearly illustrated by recent fig
ures showing just what the tourist
trade Is worth to France.
During 1888, for instance, Ameri-
can tourists spent about 500, o00. 900
francs In France. In that year,
French exports to the United States
were . little more than half that
value-s6S, 100000 francs, to be exact.
In other words, as far as the Unit
ed States Is concerned, the tourist
business is worth twice Is much to
France as Is foreign trade.
There's one other interesting little
thing about it. French authorities
have tabulated the way in which the
American tourists money Is spent in
France: and they have found that
just seven per cent Of it goes for what
might be called wine, women and
song.
That. considering the popular ira
dition about the American tourists
way Of amusing himself in Paris,
seems surprisingly low.

A forest fire recently swept through
part Of Apremont Forest, near
Chalons-sur-Marne, France. Imme-
diately the air was filled with the
crash Of exploding shells. which
Jared the countryside and put the
fire-fighters in grave danger.
Bitter fighting took place in this
forest during the war. Many shells
were shot into it. Some Of them were
"duds"-they had defective fuses, or
something-and failed to explode. So.
during all the years since, they lay
there, waiting for the fire to come
and touch them off.
There is something very ghastly
about the thought Of those messen-
gers Of death hiding their time In the
depth Of q peaceful forest. But they
simply parallel the effects of war In
human relations.
War leaves many unexploded shells
-hatreds. jealousies, suspicious. in
justices, desires for revenge-and
they lie inert. sometimes, for many
years waiting for the moment Of
heat that will blow them up and let
them destroy human lives.

Historic Finale

When Secretary Of the Navy Swan
son recently signed an order direct
ing the scrapping Of II average
destroyers, he closed the careers Of
some rather historic vessels.
For among these II obsolete war
ships were five which once played .
spectacular role. They were the first
American fighting ships to enter the
European war zone. and play m &C
tive part In It, after the United
States declared war on Germany.
This country had been in the war
only . few weeks when that little
destroyer flotilla reached an English
port. They were the first visible.
tangible sign Of American participa-
ton In the conflict: Is such, they
bore significance infinitely greater
than that Of any other ships in our
whole navy.
And now they're going out OF exist
ence-the destroyers Conygham. Por-
ter, McDougal, Wainwright and Da-
Wis. Their passing IS . reminder Of
. historic event.

WHY Get Shocked?

a dispatch from Los Angeles tell
ing about Z malodorous extra girl
trial asserts that sordid testimony
in the case has shocked wosnen's
club representatives" as they await
ed resumption Of the trial."
From what we have heard, It Is
easy to understand how even the
most case hardened person could
have been shocked. Certainly there
have been few trials In American
legal history that plastered the rec
ord with any more disgusting stuff
than this one.
And yet, one wonders-if these esti-
mable ladies were 20 shocked. why
did they 60 to the trial7
So far. there Is no law In this
country compelling anyone to be .
spectator at any lawsuit. When the
testimony In . case Is shocking. the
free American citizen has the In.
alienable right Of staying entirely
away from the courtroom. In that
way he doesn't get shocked.

Bismarck attorneys commented
Wednesday that the resolution adopt

whether charges should be filed

given It In the resolution.
The charges made by the house In
its impeachment then are filed with
the senate, which sits q jury to try
the case. A two-thirds vote Is need
ed to convict In that body.
Under the law, any officer who Il
irpeached by the house, sitting In
legal session, Is removed from office
pending trial. II the officer Is some
enc other than the governor and holds
an executive position, the governor
names some one to serve In his place
