MONDAY,-JULY 22, 1918. By FRANCIS H. SISSON, Vice President Guaranty Trust Com- pany of New York, America may well look to France for example and inspiration in prepar- Ing to develop her foreign trade after the war. In all history there fs no people whose rising to meet a seeming- ly overwhelming assault upon every- thing they consider worth while has had such power over the emotions of mankind, There has been a complete surrender of the naton as a whole to the {dea that every available agency should be utilzed for the single pur- pose of winning the war. France has sustained every shock of war. Some of the fairest portions of her territory have been overrun, and others are use- less except for military operations, Now, with characteristic adjustabill- ty; the French are transforming emer- gency into opportunity. In all their preparations. for reconstruction when Peace comes they are applying the principles that have been at the foun- dation of their efficiency in the war. They propose to keep mobilized for a considerable period ‘after the war is over that spirit of unity, co-operation and concentration in enterprise that has kept them from vassalage since the.war began. France sees clearly the double na- ture of her problem. She must re- store the country itself and must re- establish {ts relationship with other countries. In doing both she looks to the United States for help. She pro- poses to purchase {n this country vast supplics of raw material, building sup- plies and. machinery, which she cannot get from her colonics or from other netions esgased, like herself, in the work of reiadilitatioa. She proposes to pey for these things aud to meet the debts she now owes by selling to tafe..ceistre not orly an increased eaistity of these thiugs fa the naii- tecture of which she cxrela, bel also eenEe OF U.

E. A. Staff Correspondent.) i Washington, July 22—You will be glad to know, as an American citizen, that in this very big and busy govern- ment there exists a Soul, which con- cerns itself with your intimate pride and sorrows. “You reading this, may be one of those to whom it has been revealed. If so, you know ‘the infinite tender- ness f it! And you have instictively wanted to clasp the hand of the man, through whom it was manifest—Maj. | Gen. George Barnett, Commandant. of the U. S. Marines. Being unable to, you wrote him in- stead what was in your heart. Yous said you were grief-stricken in the | loss ef your boy, who fell fighing in France; but, you said, it was for the cause of decency and righteousness. and in that knowledge you were proud | to give him up. You should know that Gen. Barnett treasures those letters. They will be; kept in the records of his office for- ever. portance. Lut lapses in human ma- chinery will occur. The other day a cabled casualty list contained the name of Don M. Blankenship, among the dead. The clerk, running down the list on file, came to the name “Dan M. Blanken- ship.” Attributing the slight differ: ence to errors of transmission, he no- tified the parents of Blankenship of their son's death A few hours later the error was de- tected and a message was speeded to the parents, assuring them thei son | still lived. ‘Then, by a singular freak{ of fate, the v next day came the news of the boy’s death in action. And a third telegram went forward. The letters to Gen. Barnett from bereaved parents would form a beauti- ful page in war history, for in them renunciation and loyalty go hand and hand. A Real Letter. It isn’t a stereotyped message of} condolence. This is What he wrote the father of Corporal George Belfry f 4213 Grand-blvd, Chicago, who died in action abroad: “His death has not been in vain. And the sacrifice he has made has earned the homage that comes from the hearts of all Americans.” The father, in response to the brief telegram conveying the first news of his son’s death, had written: “We are proud of our boy, and know that his sacrifice and ours | is not in vain. I know he has ful- filled ur expectations, not only as a soldier, but’as a patriotic son of America.” Now, Gen. Barnett, who is a busy man, harried with ‘innumerable offi- cial details, might have closed the in- cident® there. But that is not the} way.? “The sorrow cannot be les- seried,” he wrote George Belfry’s father, “but it is leavened when | I learn, as I learned from you, that ‘the courage and patriotism of a man we have lost is born anew {| in the hearts of those he leaves ‘behind. As:we share the sorrow at his death, so many we also share the pride in the noble e: auple he has set.” « oe And it wasn’t just a lett r. It was the real’sentiment of a man speaking out of the depths of sympathy. An} official merely doing his duty could | not have written George Belfry's par: | ents ‘like that, | You. have only to look into the gen-| eral’s deep-set‘eyes and to watch his! sensitive lips .to understand.

H. DUCHWORTH. (N. E. A. Staff Correspondent.) Washington, D. C. July 22—UncleSam’s gas experts today regard gas shells as the most important method of using gases in warfare. Vomiting gas from shells is far more effective than sending it in clouds out of cylinders. Success is not dependent on the wind, and there are no elaborate trench preparations against backfire. Ordinarily cannoneers fire the shells, « with long-range guns or trench mortars. The targets can be picked out with accuracy. fired over hills, where poisonous; clouds then roll into dugouts and rout gunners from their positions. The HUNS use two types of shells: ‘some explode when they hit, others have time fuses. They send over shells with long-time fuses, then oth ers with shorter fuses, which explode all at once. Certain gas shells are niarked “T” or “K.” The first contain dense gases, slow to disperse; the “IX” shells de- liver’ lighter gases that float away quickly, allowing assault troops to fol- low up the gas attack. Besides issuing masks. U. S. army Kas specialists have carefully instruct- ed Pershing’s men in other protective methods. They have shown them how JOHN H.

Blankets are nailed across the top of the doorways of dougouts and at- tached along the bottom:-edge to a plank upon which the blanket may be rolled up, When the gas warning is sounded these blankets are unrolled and sprayed with water or a “mixture of water and glycerin to ensure air- tightness. The men are.also. taught to clear trenches and dugouts. after a gas at- tack. The men literally dig the gas out with big canvas blades that have the general form of a snow shovel.

Ship owners themselves manage their fleets and are encouraged to make them as effective as possible by the distribution of bonuses and the replacing of ships that are sunk, Ships eatinot now be built In France, The Minister of Maritime Transport and Merchant Marine holds that tq bring materials from the United States or England would handicap . French shipbuilders because of the cost of materials and transportation. This would) mean that French exporters would have to pay higher freight rates to theowners after the ships were in the water, This would place not only ex- porters but all French industry under a handicap in the competition for after- | war markets. It is proposed, there-! fore, that the state shall replace de-; stroyed ships, as it.can buy materials; more cheaply, and therefore will be: able to contract for new ships on a) basis of insuring reasonable rates to| the trader. The government contracts | to replace ships in this manner within | three years after the war, these ships| becoming the absolute property of; those from whom ‘their equivalents! have been requisitioned. On the other hand, the Ministry pro-| poses to build a state-owned fleet for|. the colonies, which will be managed by ’ ship owners, the state sharing in the profits and deficits, ‘There will be no! more subsidies for ships in which the government has no interests. With these plans go proposed harbor {im-! provement. France has today no har- bor where ships of the largest types can dock. The government plans far- ther to co-ordinate railroads and ship ; ping lines, especially across the Meéd- | iterranean to Algiers and Tunis, ‘ While France cannot avoid making | extensive purchases of building mate-' rials and machinery, abroad, she plans! to curtail largely her food imports.| Wheat, barley and rye are grown or-; dinarily, but the war has bronghti many-changes, and the French are get-| ting acquainted with the cheaper | cereals, such as Indian corn, millet! and rice flour, In the government re: port on war economy it was.recom- mended that every parcel’ of soil ‘not cultivated be sown without delay with wheat, barley, Indian corm and cats, and planted. with potatoes and’ vege- tables, Legislation to increase agricultural production is being framed. Deserted territory will be cultivated. “A back- to-the-farm movement has beeo inau- gurated, and bonuses are to be given to those who abandon their anctent' implements for modérno agricultural machinery. France has no such resources of men and materials as have Great Britaln and the United States. She under - stands that without the most intense application of energy to such resources as she has, increased production, elha- ination of all waste, and a resolute ef- fort to win forelgn markets, she wiil . be unable to regain her standing among commercial nations, That ef- fort she ‘ts making.
