PAGE TWO BATTLE-SWEPT FRANCE ASTIR Heroic Efforts Being Made to Recoup Fortunes. MAKING STEADY PROGRESS Rehabilitation ls Observable in Re- vival of Old Industrics, the Estab- lishment of New Ones and the In- i troduction of Modern Equipment— Return to Normal Basis of Vast Flocks and Hegrds of Animals De- pleted by the War. Gradual transformation of the bat- tle-swept regions of northern France dack to their normal conditions is be- ing everywhere noted by the Associ- ated Press correspondent, who, with special facllities extended by the gov- ernment, {8 making a tour through the devastated regions to observe their steady progress toward recovery. This rehabilitation 18 observable in the revival of old industries, the es- tablishment of new ones and the in- troduction of modern equipment, and 1t 1s even noticeable in the return of vast flocks and herds of domestic an- fmals, depleted by the war, back to the normal basis required for the do- mestic needs of this region. 8mall Farmers Try to Recoup. ‘When war swept over the ten de- partments along the battle front, do- mestic animals disappeared, most of the stock being taken as food for the armies, while the birds and fowls fled from the concussion of the great guns. Now, with the gradual return to pre- war conditions, the thrifty French nt and small farmer is making eroic efforts to recoup his fortune and to rehabilitate his land. Domestic animals are being greatly treasured for their food value, and are cared for by their owners with the same solicitude shown toward their children. Poultry and rabbits are kept In warm quarters and fed regularly, even though it is necessary now and then for the people them- selves to go without a square meal. New fimpetus also is given to the breeding of small domestic animals in .order to replenish the restricted sup- ply. Cattle Are Not Plentiful. Because of the fact that pastures were for the most part destroyed by shell fire and gas, it has been found very difficult to get forage for cows, and therefore cattle are scarce at present. In the fleld of industry the notice- able development among the French is the Inclination to modernize plants destroyed by the ravages of the war. Naturally slow to make changes and suspiclous of new things, Frenchmen are beginning to step forward. They are installing electric power, applying the latest Ideas in mechanlcs, reor- ganizing their enterprises and build- ing a firm foundation in preparation for the developments they belleve the future wlill bring forth. FUGITIVE TURK A KING Enver Pasha, a Pro-German, Has Ac- cepted Kurdish Throne. Enver Pasha, former Turkish min- ister of war, has been crowned king of Kurdistan, the Turkish region lying between Mesopotamia and Persia. Kurdistan Is an estenslve region with fll-defined bhorders. Its population in- cludes 2,000,000 people, most of whom are Mohammedans. Enver Pasha was minlster of war in the Turkish cabfnet from January. 1914, to October, 1918, He was leader of the Young Turks, an ardent pro- German and an enthusiastic pupil of the German genernl von der Goltz. After the signing of the armistice ¥nver fled from Constantinople to Ber- lin in disguise. He was arrested on request of the Turkish government, but escaped. Though a sentence of death rests over him for acts commit- ted during the war, he Is a king and prabably will escape punishment. PLENTY OF WORK FOR ALL Dircctor of Employment Service Finds Industrial Situaticn Good. Unemployment now is less alarming than at any time sinee the signing of the armistice, according to a statement made by W. I. Skinner, acting di- rector general of the United States employment service. 5 Reports from 22 states indicate that in Wisconsin and Michigan there is a shortage of help. In Arkansas, Ten- nessee and Indiana there is reported a slight shortage of jobs. In Chj- cago and New York there is mo unemployment than anywhere In the country. _ The slight unemployment that is re ported is regarded as a result of the difficulty in connecting the right man with the job and of strikes, which cre- ate an artificial condition. Conscience Drove Man Back to Prison. Unable longer to resist his con- sclence, Elmer E. Barnard, who es- , caped from the Oregon state peniten- tlary in 1916, has voluntarily returned to the institution, to serve a maximum term of ten years. War Souvenirs Blew Clubhouse to Bits. Explosion of souvenir shells brought from France caused the destruction of the Admiral Benson clubhouse for serv- jce men at Tloboken, N. Y. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER U. S. Damages More Than Offset German Clanms ASHINGTON.—America's clainis agalnst Germany growing out of the sinking of the Lusitania and other vessels by submarines, and on account of other war damages, will more than offset the amount which wi fll be due from the United States on account of the 100 German steamers seized in American ports when the United States entered the war, shipping board officlals" declared. Under the peace treaty, the value of the vessels, estimated by board offi- clals at from $130,000,000 to $140,000,- 000, will be credited to Germany on in- demnities awarded by the allied repa- rations commission, but as the Amer- ican claims before the commission will ; more than offset the value of the ships, - officlale asserted there was little likelihood that the United States would be called upon to make any payment to the commission. Three vessels were war vessels—German commerce raiders—which tonk refuge in American ports bqfore the United States entered the war and were Interned, and their value will not be included with that of the vessels which were purely peaceful merchant craft. THERE'LL WENT TO HEAVEN IN AUTO Novelty in Burning of Effigy of Mip chine at the Grave of Wealthy Chinaman. It is the custom of the Chinese to burn various kinds of effigies at the funeral ceremonies of the rich, and the more wealthy the departed the more elaborate the figures burned over his grave. These effigies represent every manner of thing, such as human figures, horses, sedan chairs, tables loaded with money, etc. At the funeral of a Mr. Li, who dled a short time ago in Tientsin, and who was a very wealthy man, the bereaved family outdid themselves, and made an imitation of the deceased gentleman’s automobile, to be burned at his grave. The effigy was made entirely of strong Chinese paper stretched on bamboo frames. The car was complete in every detail, the ped- als accurately placed, and all made of paper and bamboo. The interior of the car was also accurate in detail, being carefully up- holstered in paper. The car was car- ried about three miles through crowded streets to the graveside, where a match was applied, and it was con- sumed in a few minutes. Making Play Pay, A Bay City sociologist urges all fa- thers to learn to play games of make- believe with their children, whatever the expenses of energy or time, saying it will in the end prove well worth while, and we can fully agree with this hecause of the excellent results we have already obtained pretending we are the sleeping child when Santa Claus comes, or the black bear that has holed up for the winter when the Indian comes hunting for him.—De- troit News; suhscribe for Tne Ploneer.
