It is no secret in France today that three years of terrible war have produced an earnest de sire for. peace. Sentiment towards peace permeates the big government buildings in Paris; the cities and smallest villages. Al most every French home, aristocratic or humble, rich or poor, in city or country has its individual story of war sacrifice. Crepe is as common as calico or silk. Naturally this element alone has produced a longing for peace. But as the composite voice of the highest officials of -France has said: "The only peace wanted in this land is a French peace integral restitution of Alsace-Lorraine, brutally torn from France in 1871, reparation for damages of war, guarantees for the future. France will fight until she gets that peace." ' For the first time during the war the French parlia ment, with the exception of three or four recalcitrant Socialist deputies, is today a solidified unit on all the war aims of the nation. Premier Alexander Ribot, facing the first political storm of his regime when the Chamber of Deputies reconvened after the Easter holidays took the firm action which consolidated the nation. He modified the high military command placing the national hero, General Petain in supreme charge of French forces on the "Western front. "We all want peace," he said. ' "But what we want and are going to have is a French peace." The world has heard much of the famous "bas do lame" the woolen stocking bank of France. It is the little hoard of gold to be found al ways in French homes. The strain on it has been heavy. But today this woolen sock continues to pour from $800,000 to $2,000,000 each wetk into the bank of France. This yellow stream is exchanged for the govern ment's short term bonds bearing from four to five per cent of interest. Also the circulat:on of French bank notes like American paper money has risen today from $1,200,000,000 to $4,000,000,000. This represents the nation's floating debt except its out standing short term bonds and en ables France to live and carry on the war from one great loan to another. The war to date has taxed the finance of France about eighteen billions of dollars. The seemingly bottomless "bas do laine" made France's first war loan successful, and at a time when mili tary events were far from promising. The second duplicated the first Then came the famous French "Loan of Victory" and its $3,000,000,000 more from the woolen sock. For the first time also during this past year, French banks have found that de posits have begun to overbalance withdrawals of private accounts. France can allow her national debt to mount to twenty billion dollars and then use less than one-third of the country's annual savings to carry it Two years of war elapsed before the government began to balancel ac counts.

Economically, France's condition is excellent. Past months of Germany's intensi fied submarine blockade have produced few visible effects on French economic life. Possibly with the exception of Italy, France is today the only war ring nation in Europe where food re strictions do not emphasize them selves at every meal. Two days each week Monday and Tuesday--civilian France goes without meat and twice weekly there is an absence of pastry. That portion of the population not depending on hotels and restaurants are put on their honor not to eat the forbidden food on meatless and cake less days. The hotel or restaurant proprietor sees that his guests obey the law but he doesn't let them suffer. Tasty egg dishes, omelettes and fish replace meat. Nobody misses the pastry. France goes on eating with tranquil satisfaction. .Bread on all French tables is war-bread but it takes the most critical observer to know it Sugar is.sold by cards but no one has yet complained of not having an ample supply. Butter is high but few French homes are with out it Vegetables flood the markets at reasonable prices. Probably the only serious economic FOR SALE Real Estate.

Adv. 7-27-tf ! worry in France during the war has been the coal shortage of the winter of 1916-17. The great railroad trans portation problem occasioned by the I Battle of the Somme during the sum ;mer of 1916 and the autumn flood ; ing of the Seine left the country with out its supply of Winter coal except for vital industries. The French pub lic has just been told in the Chamber of Deputies that the coal situation will be ameliorated the coming winter. A specialist has been appointed by the I government to handle this problem alone. One of his early acts is ex pected to be coal cards, giving all an equal supply. The strikes of working girls dur ing May in Paris and other French cities acted as highest tributes to the economic situation. The demands were light, demonstrations were of the tamest character and employers need ed but little government coercion to 'reestablish their workers at wages which, even yet, cannot compare with the average wage of the girl worker I in the United States. Otherwise there ,have been no economic upheavals in France. I The French navy, of which little has been heard during the war, except its (misfortunes, has played a great part lin the anti-submarine campaign. It has silently provisioned French, Brit ish, Russian and Serbian troops in the Near East; transported hundreds of thousands of men and enormous quan tities of food from French colonies and helped to keep up the tireless watch by Allied vessels on Austria's hidden fleet in the Adriatic.
