YANKS MAKING GOOD N FRANCE Have Not “Americanized” Coun- try, but Meet Success in Business. SOME HAVEBECOME WEALTHY 8everal Thousand Discharged Amerl- ' can Soldiers Remained in France to Try Their. Fortunes—News- paper Men Land on Feet. Paris.—Several thousand discharged |American soldlers who remained in |ance to try their fortunes are far- ing as must fare all pioneers. A few ve become reasonably wealthy; {lolne are ‘“reporting progress;” the rity, however, are flying rather er than they were when they set out to “Americanize France.” Nearly 9,000 American expeditionary force men were released here, and it is estimated a fourth of these have set- down to work here. The others )are visiting, sightseeing or have gone p e after a discouraging look at busi- ‘mess prospects, Several hundred found.employment with large concerns, chiefly American ,llrms preparing to do business in the @devastated regions. Another group took various small places to pay thelr l'u while studying. The majority, it iwas said, started to make good by lcapitalizing American methods. But r of them agree that easy money ifs mot one of the ndtural resources of Jrance, but a few have proved that it 1% A npegro made 125000 francs {Onormal value, $25,000) buying and ‘selling, army and navy supplies a! Brest His case is vouched for by a’ ‘well-xnown American commercial ex- ‘acutive. . - 5 : Chicago Press Club Driver Wins Ahe most. striking success reported 1s that of “the fox-trot kings of Paris,” as they term themselves, Gerald Kiley, | who drove the Chicago Press club am- bulance, and Harold Fitch of St. Paul, who was at the wheel of one of Mrs. ‘W. K. Vanderbilt's ambulances and later went to the front. Kiley and Fitch, the former sald, got their start over here when the wife of an Amer- ican banker “pressed 500 francs (about $100) on us” when they played in 2 three-man jazz band at a dance sbe gave. They organized a Wilson welcome ball at a leading hotel when the president arrived In Paris and net- M ted more than 10,000 francs on the at- | @ fair. This success, they said, they often duplicated at “the Dixie club” dances they organized. Knowing that good things must not be, overworked, the men took over the ice cream making equipment of the ‘Y. M. C. A, which has a capacity of a thousand gallons an hour, and late in October began wholesaling “Dixie” ice cream. Some of the most interesting of the American business experiences here are those of men who married French girls,. Three of these are farming east’ of Paris, “making more money than they ever thought possible in the United States,” their business ad- viser said. One man married into a dairy shop. Another returned to his trade of tailoring in the same way. Scores of American boys are in busl- ness with their French fathers-in-law. Introduce Rebuilt Typewriters. Rebuilt typewriters, familiar to Americans, have been introduced to the French by Lieut. J. L. McCann of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and George E. How- ard of Pasadend, Cal. Their difficulty is too much business. Isadore Court, who was a paperhanger, boldly set himself up in the decorating business in a fashionable suburb. Lieut. S. L. Tyler of Memphis, Tenn., became a merchan- dise broker. Harry L. Drucker, pho- tographer, returned to his trade. One man who wanted to bring in carloads of automobiles and bicycle tires turned defeat into success' by opening a tire sale and repair shop. Another' one with the same idea is awaiting arrival of a real steam vul- canizing plant to give Paris a taste of fast work. He said virtually all tube repairs here now gre made with ce- ment patches instead of vulcanizing, ‘and take a week instead of an hour. Newspaper men seem to have landed on their feet most quickly. Nearly all of those who stayed are developing some “idea” outside of office hours. Ideas for wealth may result in the establishment of a chain of hotels and restaurants along the battle-front towns. One young man who missed the American “shine” is negotiating a lease for a shoe-shining parlor.
