FIRST PICTURE OF SURRENDER OF

. ' -J-
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 9. To re
construct the destroyed portions ot
France architecturally as they were
beforo they wero ruined by the Ger
mans is the purpose of the French
govornnient as outlined by Bernard
J. Shoninger, formerly president of
tho American chamber of commerce
In Paris.
Tho French government plans to
accomplish this by reimbursing in
dividuals for their shattered homes,
mills and factories according to their
value before their destruction, Mr.
Shoninger recently told the executive
committee of the Philadelphia cham
ber of commerce.
t'ltlmntely, he said Germany will
pay the bill for restoration. ' .
Thruoiil the war, he added, French
boards of appraisers have been esti
mating tho values of property de
stroyed by the Huns and now have
accurate data. To those who desire
to rebuild, tho French government
will Issue indemnity bonds up to SO
per cent of the former value of his
property. While the external ap
pearance of the buildings rebuilt will
ho retained, Mr. Shoninger said, the
Interiors will be constructed in mod
ern, sanitary style.
Referring to the fact that the
French govornnient has made ar
rangements to purchase, materials
for reconstruction by pooling or com
bining Its orders, he suggested that
American manufacturers would be
asked to supply some materials and
that they promote tho formation of
soiling combinations so that possible
lingo orders for construction mater
ials from France could be rapidly as
similated. Ui-

of the Ilohenzollerns and made an
address.
The semi-circle of Dr. Llebknecht's
followers was flanked on all sides by
machine guns mounted on motor
trucks which commanded all ap
proaches. Dr. Llebknecht harrnn
gued the crowd In his familiar style,
indicating Friedrlch Ebert, the pre
mier; Philipp Scheldemann and oth
er "kaiser socialists" of complicity in
Friday's rioting. He called upon the
masses to organize red guards and
beat off the attacks of counter-revolutionists.
'At a lato hour tonight Berlin was
absolutely quiet. It is estimated by
the Tagohlatt that the number ot
deserters that Berlin is feeding ex
