LISBON. April 21.-In what is
unquestionably the largest organ
lied footing project in all history,
Germany is taking over a big part
of French industry, lock. stock and
barrel.
But the amazing thing about
this, the thing that, apart from its
magnitude, distinguishes it from
booty grabs of the past, is that il
is all being done legally" Ger.
many is paying for its loot-with
French francs.
undcs>the terms of the armi-
stide, France agreed to pay Ger
mahy 400, 000,oQ0 francs per day.
Thit staggering sum (just under
S10,Q00,000, at the official rate)
was levied for the maintenance
Of the German army of occupa-
ton in France.
However, the cost Of the upkeep
of the army of occupation does

Sometimes, where owners are re-

means fail. gentle hints are thrown
out: Better sell while you can, or
you may have it taken away from
you.
Thus on February %. the Paris
newspaper Oeuvre published the
following announcement:
"As was announced by the
minister of finance on Dec. 8,
1910, the board of the Com

that a German group is about to
acquire the stock of the COM

"The stock, no matter what
category will be purchased

"The sale of the stock Is OPP

strongly advises stockholders,
with no reservations, to realize
on this operation as rapidly as
possible"
