(Hy United Press.) PARIS. (My Mull.) France has restored over 1,250 miles of railroads In the devastated districts alnce the signing of the armistice. This mileage la In addition to the 1.000 ml Ion which had been provisionally repaired before the actual end of the fighting. Less than 200 miles of destroyed roadbed remain unserviceable. Of the destroyed railways between Paris and Helglum on the Northern Hallway nearly s per cent of the portions out of service Inst Novem ber have been restored. On the East, ern Railway the restoration has been less complete, hut even on this line which suffered heavily on the Cham pagne and Verdun fronts, over 80 percent of the lines are again belnt used. Much of the restoration work has had to be of a temporary nature be cause of the shortage of materials. The hardest work was encountered In the region about Verdun and along the valley of the Meuse where numer. ous tunnels and bridges were destroy ed. Nearly one half of the restored mileage hus been on double track lines. The rebuilding of the network of Canaus Is progressing almost as rap- , Idly as the railway work. The total , dlstroyed mileage of canals exceeded 700 miles, together with 450 bridges and 115 locks.

Borne of the letters were too favor able to the Germans, and Halyburton established a censorship In each pen. He .knew the Germans were waiting for favorable letters to publish. Another battle against propaganda was against an individual named Knders, who claimed to be American, and the correspondent of an. Ameri can news agency. He appeared sev eral times at the camps saying he was gathering data to prove that Ameri cans were not mlstretted In Germany to do so. by the German government. transportation will have been rebuilt. Simultaneously with the railroad rebuilding, the factories In many of the "martyred" cities are resuming production on a small scale. . Ma chinery, stolen by the Germans, Is be ing collected in all parts of ermany and shipped back to the almost empty fucforles In Lille, I-no and St. Quen. tin. Already over 25.000 tons of stolen machinery and material have been (fathered and shipped while even a larger quality has accumulated in German stations awaiting shipment. This machinery waa Identified by t renrh commission. Though making heroic efforts to reassert herself In the linen Industry, the city of Lille Is making but little progress because of the absence of spinning machines. Of over 500,000 sp!ndles which were operated In and about Lille before the war less than 12.000 are, working now. The other were destroyed or carried away by the Germans. In the meantime Lille lelleves that the predominance of her linen Industry has been Inst for all time as other nations have made a quicker sturt since the end of the war.

' I When the armistice was signed the German guards suddenly disappeared. 1 Those who remained were lenient. They told the Americans that pris oners were free to go to towns and do as they pleased.

By this time each man had been as signed to some sort of wok for which he yas adapted. There were tailors, shoemakers, barbers, cooks and prac- Itiacally every type of Industry needed in camp. Including a staff for the camp paper which was copied py hand, cartoons Included, and posted for reading. The order was difficult for many men to understand, but it was adher ed to by practically everyone. . Next came the organisation of trainloads of men to leave for France. One by one these problems were met. and the soldiers were assisted by Red Cross men who arrived from Swltserlund. The lted Cross men were amazed by the organization the doughboys had accomplished in every camp, and found the native- populations In dis tricts around American camps full of admiration for the way the Yankees had handled themselves under diffi culties and without authority.
