FRENCH OUTLINE INDUSTRY NEEDS FOLLOWING WAR

Americans Must do Co-operative Selling for French Industrial Rebuilding. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. American manufacturers who plan to supply materials for the Industrial reconstruction of northern France should prepare for co-operative selling, for a revolutionary change in French methods of buying is to follow the war. A small number of central purchasing agencies, representing groups of French manufacturers engaged in related industries and assisted by the credit of the French government, will deal with those supplying the material. Scattered American selling efforts will not be able to meet the requirements of the huge buying power of several thousand French consumers, in the opinion of Pierce C. Williams, American commercial attache at Paris, who reports that unless American manufacturers prepare for co-operative selling that they will be laboring tinder a serious handicap. The Central Bureau for Industrial Purchases for the Invaded region, a

French stock company composed of many manufacturers, has emphasized in a report that the task of restoring the destroyed industries is too large for individual and competitivo buying. Its directors are reported as equally certain that it will be out of the question for Isolated American firms, no matter how large or well equipped, to meet the demand. It is with groups of American manufacturers each group being able to supply a certain industry with all materials and special equipment for its restoration that the Central 'Bureau wishes to establish relations. Although the French manufacturer in the past ha3 been regarded as most individualistic among business men, the size and complexity of the task of reconstruction has caused him to accept such a radical change in his business methods as collective buying. The industrial reconstruction in France alone is more than one nation can properly attend to, so the pooling of American interests involves solution of the question- of whether American manufacturers will be able to bold their own in competition with other nations. Industries Ruined. Although the area occupied by the Germans In France the last four years is small as compared with corresponding regions in the United States, northern and eastern France with Belgium were in 1914 one of the busiest workshops in the world. Nearly 26,000 factories and industrial establishments were in the invaded parts of France, and their output was more than thirty per cent, of all of France. These factories' output in proportion to the country's total production follows: Iron ore, 90 per cent.; pig iron, 83 per cent; steel, 75 per cent.; coal, 70 per cent.; combpd wool, 94 per cent.; Jinen thread, 90 per cent.; sugar 65 per cent. Owners of the factories of course have been Bhut off from normal communication with their properties, but workmen .engineers and others caught in north of France when the German army rolled through there have gradually worked their way to Paris as their repatiation has been accomplished by the Allied arms. In many localities and in almost countless industries, r ii Jng remains. Coal mines have been flooded, and years will pass before coal will be hoisted from them again. Electricpower stations and the transmission lines have in many places been dismantled, the machinery being carried off by the Germans, and the copper wire sold at auction. Practically all of the equipment in the metal-working plants, all the cotton, linen and wool spinning machinery, together with wool-combing and textile looms, have been systematically pillaged. Repatriated workers report that machines have been skilfully taken apart and all the copper and alloys in the bearings sent into Germany for remelting. In many Instances, after this was done, the iron frame was broken up and turned over the German scrapiron dealers. Steel structures have been taken down, and the sheet-Iron rcofs And steel columns and beams have either been sent back into Germany or used id the war zone. Sugar refineries and leweries aro reported to have been completely destroyed. Machine shops

' 'Have Been in Some Real Battles9 Writes Milton Soldier From War Zone

" We are going back to a rest camp for a short time, and when we come up to the front again, the enemy will no doubt be on the other side of the Aisne," said Ralph Moore in a letter to his mother and father. Mr. andvMrs. Jesse Moore, of Milton. More Is in the 120 Medical corps of the 32 Division in France. The leter follows: " We are now out of the country in which we were first, and are on the real battle field of June and July. On our way here we slept in towns that the Germans had occupied the week before The villages are complete ruins, not much left any more. "We have been in real battles lor over a week and know exactly what war means. Having been relieved now, we are going back a few miles to a rest camp for about a week. There are sights to see over here, and some of them I can never forget. You probebly read what the Americans did the last week of August, so you can guess what I have been through.

our casualties are far less than the enemy's. " It is a very queer feeling to wake up in the middle of the night and have to put on your gas mask, but, of course, we always do it, even if the alarm is a false one. It is hard to tell, so when the klaxons are sounded, every one, no matter if he is miles away feels safer with a mask on. "We are certainly glad to be released for this short rest, but we'll be ready to go in soon again."

Behr of Pershing, have received a letter telling of the safe arrival overseas of their son, Hobart, .who is with an engineers' company; He was stationed at Ft. Benjamin Harrison while in the States.

Leslie L. Williams wno is now stationed at Say Brook, Conn., writes of his experience at Camp Hancock, Ga., when he was a bugler there. He writes: "They put rae on blowing a bugle down there and all I knew was the mess call. The campany thought it was having a picnic, for we had about six meals the first day. The next day they let me shovel sand in the roads but since that time I have learned some other calls."

A letter from Bob in France! The postman seems to know The joy that he brings at a glance; For mother's face is aglow, And sister begins to dance A letter from Bob in France. Full well I remember the day He went to his country's call. Brimful of vigor and gay; For Bob was the youngest of all A mite in the terrible fray Nor once did his spirits fall. "Dear Folks," says the letter, "at last We got to old Fritz, and it's fisht And battle with the skies overcast. Or sunshine, by day and by night, Until Foxy Fritz sort of guessed He'd skip while his feet were right. And thus in a cheerful vein His letters were always penned; No inkling of homesick pain, Or the shadow of discontent; Tho' Bob never wished in vain, Or hours of anxiety spent. A letter from Bob in France, (God grant it is on the way) Bringing us joy immense Peace has been signed this day, Free and victorious France Everywhere hails our advance.

Elmer Vinton has written to his father, C. E. Vinton, of 303 Chestnut street, saying: "We have been hitting those Huns some pretty hard cracks these last few days; some I hope they Will never get over. I am still allvo and knocking around as usual. "I have seen quite a few of my pals fall on the field of battle. That is one thing that makes a fellow's blood, boil and makes him fight all the harder. I got through without a scratch but I had some pretty close calls which made my hair stand straight. "One does not mind things so while they are happening but after it is au over, and there is time to think of what has happened then it makes one's knees knock together. "Every one here has some kind of a souvenir from Germany. I got two German canteens. I gave one to the lieutenant of our company and the other I lost in the last scrap we had. All I have now is a few pieces of German money. "Glen Wagner is wounded in the hip by a machine gun bullet, but I think he will be back on duty soon. "I have not learned how Frank Kilgus made out. Harry Wagner is O. K. "Well, they are yelling for me to come and get it, and that means that chow is ready. "Be sure to write soon." Vinton enlisted in the regular army soon after war was declared. He has been serving in France for some time.
