FRIENDSHIPS IN WAR WILL LAST. THAT 'During the wnr, many warm-hearted1 persons and many generous-spirited, clubs and associations "adopted" French and Belgian war orphans. This was done by contributing enough money for the children's support nnd schooling. In comparatively few cases did the adopted little folks actu uully come to this country, although there was a general exchange of pic tures nnd friendly letters. Civilians b'nek home, however, were not the only ones who took up this happy idea.- The Amorienn expedi tionary force, in companies, smaller ' generation groups ana as individuals, nernmo re sponsible for more than 3500 French war waifs.

Supplementing Commissioner inr dicu's statements, Professor Hruhl, ed itor of the Revue I'hilosophique, tells a New York audience how France, lacking coal and labor, is harnessing the wnter power of the Alps and Py renees; how industries are organizing in groups nnd increasing production bi standardization; how an "intense industrial development' is seen in some provinces, ami how the colonies are sources of raw material A strategic position behind a table on the boulevards is not the best from which to gauge the progress of re France.
