WAR'S WRECK IX FRANCE
The Frenuh minibter of th§ iiv
l —■'or has made a careful estimate
of the damage that has been in
iliritd upon France by the Ger
inaus since their invasion two years
ago. f
Tn*» figures cover those* I>ortiou6
of France that the Germans have
Held and those they ure still hold
n.i;. The minister has just made
l ublic the figures.
The data collected from 754
towns and communes (villages)
-ivos 16,000 buildings destioyed an
J5,5t>4 partially wrecked.
In the department of the Marne
15,106 buildings were damaged and
3,449 destroyed .
In 1'as de Cailais 13,542 build
>::gs -vere damaged and 6,660 com
pletely destroyed.
in 14S communes more than 5
rer cent of all buildiugsi were
destroyed 'and ia sevetity-£our com
munes more than 80 yer cent of
the buildings were wrecked.
In 423 communes 221 city halls,
«> , L' £CUVU1 uuituuig^, vua vm—»
is ;;ud Jut> other buildings "were
wrecked or badly damaged. Of
•lut'la monuments sixty yere de
stroyed. 1
£)•" the edifices destroyed 56 are
designated as historical. "
When Germany crumbed France I
ll170-71, she exacted from France
two provinces and $1,000,000,000
iu money. J '
It the allies win. in the present
war, what will France naturally
etajm as a fair indemnity from. Ger
many? |
Or, reversed, what would Ger
many claim? |
*1 h c - n two questions give an.
idea of what difficulties await the
settlement for the war's destruc
tion.
What w-ill Russia claim? What
Gieat Britain? What Belgium?
What Italy? | '
We can anticipate Russia's claim,
but no one can anticipate the
rla:mg of the 'others.
According to the record wh«n In
*he beginning all was 'chaos and
dirkness, the Creator said: "Let1
there be Light! and there was
light."
Contemplating, the wreck in 'Eu
rope, the chaos and the darkness,
i» looks as thotugh no 'power less
th?n the Creator caji command
licht. | ' '
WOE TO THE KNOCKER
The position of the knocker is
becoming mors and more insedure.
He has been forced from town *o
tr>wn and hamlet "o hamlet, until
there i3 nothing left of the origto
M r.olse 'hut a feefole effort. And
it is just'as well Chat 'eternal Just
ice has been meted out to him. He
Jcil.'s more towns, oaralyzss more In
dus* r'es and causes more .friction
In a country than a band of
Apaches. His very presence placed
a blight upon a 'community, and
when once (established' In a 'thriv
ing cit'.fwith' his hammer operating
busily, In connection,1 with! other
weak-minded helpers, you can see 1
♦ht» growth and 'prosperity wither at
6ach blast like grass under smelter
fumea
The knocker's days are number
ed, His society is'sh unneji and hi8
mesence detested. 'The Alaskan'
has come to'regard his efforts' as
«elf-seeking instead of In the nature
of reform, and when he 'hits a
♦own ha is either ignored or otamr- I

IKES REPORT
Washington, D. Nov. (21 —
Shar*. language ia employed by; Ma
jor General George W. ^oethals,
governor of thq Panama Canal 2on«^
4a replying to> published criticisms
of the big waterway , which he
charges bayo seriously affected' its
commercial rating.' |
In his annual report, made public
by th-e War Department, the gov
ernor declare® that the earth move
ments which have frequently inter
rupted traffic through? the canal
finally will be overcome for' all
time. I ,. • ■ j ,j ;
General' Goethals goes into a
lengthy review of the | geological
proolems whichi have been .encount
ered cf the 6teps taJsen. toi overcome
such obstacles and the measure of
success atfsained. So far aa tfhe Cul
ebra cu* is concerned, he said,"the
worst is over, the .intervals between,
movements are becoming greater
and toe quantities of 'material
less."
The report replies to. the publish
er statements of Professor Benja
min LeRoy Miller ,o«f Lehigh Uni
versity ,and farmer ^enator Thom
as* Kearns, o< Utah.
The cbargse made in each case.
General Goethals brands'as "er
roneous, unwarranted! and unfair."
It Is shown, in the Report that
during a part of the fiscal year
1916, during whichi the canal was
opened, 411 vessels passed from
thy Atlantic to the Pacific and 376
La the other direction. Of all,
unly 91 were engaged in the Ameri
can coast-wise trade.
TTie total cargo tonnage handled
was j,no,056 as against 4,969,792
the preceding year, although the
waterway was In operation for only
five months last year .
Commenting 'upon the reduction
iu coastwise traffio shown, how
aver, the report says it .was due
principally to the scarcity of Bhips
for foreign trade wMcht drew> Am
erican coasting vessels into that
3errice. '
Difficult less o£ the present bvb
aud General tGoetl}als again] recom
t.-m cf levying) toll aTe 'recited
and General Goethals again re
commends that legislation be sough
making the earning capacity of a
ship the basis upon which/ charges
should be computed.
He points out that $2,399,830
were collected in tolls' during
1916. Had _the so-called Panama
Canal Rules applied ia measuring
the ships, he adds this sum would
hare been increased byf approximate
ly 1400.000*. |
