attested by the following editorial statements which reflect opinion from all sections of the country: The Boston Post devoted a page to memorial suggestions leading the article with a letter from

A sumImary of these replies shows that some persons blame congress; others the financial interests of the country; a few assert that freight rates are 'exerting an injurious influence; but in the main the high cost of materials are held to be the chief Jcbstacle. - : Regarding the point of material costs, a bulletin of the department says : "The information

Doughboys Complain of the But the French

Victor McNaught Investigates Rumors of Gouging and Finds That People of France Pay Same as Our ; Soldiers Stories of Ill-Feeling Are Considerably Overdrawn. By VICTOR McNAUGHT. PARIS, Feb. 17 (Special Correspondence) Unfortunate as it may seem, it is undoubtedly the part of wisdom to take account of the fact that American soldiers are carrying

home 'stories of the French that will surprise people accustomed to think kindly of their allies. By examining these stories and sifting the doughboys' complaints, we may get some light on an uncomfortable situation and bring about a fairer and better understanding. It is known here that an able writer forgone of New York's foremost daily" newspapers recently devoted three columns of space to an exposition of the state of feeling now existing between the Americans and the French. He drew a gloomy picture.

The once grateful French no longer love our Victor McNaught skiers, and the soldiers think that they are being robbed by the French, whom they colloquially call "frogs", the article stated. The French were glad enough to have the Americans on hand a few months ago, when the Germans were galloping toward Paris, but now it is different, so the writer said. ,

He also charged American officers wth boorish conduct in restaurants Jle' personally saw two young officers fcifnrn rff for a bout in a cafe. A mjor interrupted the quarrel, called P., and caused tne onenaer

. l 1U cu says: Weg'te dragged out in handcuffs, to the

shocked and indignant surprise of the French gentlefolk, who were quick to express the hope that . the sou oi Franeeimight soon be cleared of such j canaille. V In' view of the many disquieting stories that are finding their way back to America, it seems highly desirable that our people should know the calm and reasonable truth about all these things, and the sooner the better. Let us take up one by one the tales and accusations that are going about. How French Really Feel. It mav be that the French are no longer grateful for American help, but I do not believe it. Wherever I have gone, in Paris or in the small towns in the war zone, the French people are not merely polite; they are truly and sincerely cordial. Such is their attitude toward plain Americans wno have not borne arms for them. Their feeling for Americans who helped them stop the Germans, and who la bored among the sick ana nomeiess refusees. surely is much deeper. Red Cross workers will tell you that their lives have been enrlcnea Dy meir experiences, and that they will forever feel repaid for their efforts by the ex pressions of gratitude that have come to them. Let us consider the attitude toward the doughboys. It is true that our soldiers universally call the French "frogs" often to their faces. It seems to me that this is wrong, much as I admire the splendid young fellows who make up our army, but Amer,canst will understand that the term is not intended to give offense. Our youth is always irreverent, and when It calls a Frenchman a frog, it does so in a good-natured, thoughtless way. Probably some of the French people resent the" term. We could not blame them if they did. However, the most of them seem to understand that there is no desire to hurt their sensibilities, and pay no attention. Army Is Sound. - Our army in France, taken as a whole, is made up of big, modest, manly, and kind-hearted lads, who go about quietly and behave themselves as they should. There may be a few muckers, but thoy are very few in number. Americans may be confident that the feeling for the army here is based on the judgment of the big, clean, sound majority, rather than on any opinion that may be deservedly entertained in regard to the misbehaving few. Are the French people ungrateful? There does not seem to be any sound basis for thinking so. Certainly we cannot expect them to be telling us constantly how thankful they are; we ought to be satisfied with their expressions of gratitude on armistice day, which Americans then in France will not soon forget. The reception Ihey gave our president, and the mannerin which they have so often deferred to him in the peace conference, ought to satisfy if! further. ( We should not forget that France has troubles of her own, which would naturally give her some preoccupation. Few of us realize that the country Is in a very bad way industrially. If we will recall the spent and wasted condition of the Southern states after our Civil War, we can grasp something of France's problem today. The enormous losses in men, in capital, agricultural enterprise, transportation, and manufacturing and mining equipment present staggering difficulties. The whole nation, engaged in winning the war, must now extricate itself from activities no longer required, and reorganize it peaceful industrial life all over again. The job Is colossal. Explaining the Grouch. This brings us to a consideration of the commonly repeated charge that the French people are trying to gouge the doughboys. When a soldier has ?33 a month to spend in a country where prices are two or three times as high as they once were, he Is bound to accumulate a grouch. He wouldn't be quite human if he didn't. Let us investigate the situation. A Paris newspaper is said to have published recently a news item to the effect that certain barber shops charged two scale of prices, one for Americans and one for French patrons. The paper ventured to ask whether American beards were harder and wirier than the French variety. I have not encountered any two-price system anywhere in France, in barber shops, or elsewhere. In all the stores I have visited, all articles were marked In plain figures, and the prices were the same for one customer as for another. Prices are high, to be sure, but it must be remembered that production and manufacture are pretty badly dislocated in France. What Hotel Meals Cost. At the large hotel where I have stayed while in Paris, a breakfast comprising an omelet, a pot of chocolate, marmalade and bread, costs

A' good luncheon at the place can be had for $2.25. Table d'hote dinner, Including four or five courses, costs $3. A simple dinner, ample for plain people, can be had for less. A traveler with a fat roll of expense money, with appetite and appreciation for fine wines, can dine for as much more as he likes, but not too much attention should be paid to his reports of the excessive high cost of dining well. The doughboy who goes into the battle of high prices with a slender roll should remenlber that the French people are not having an easy time of it. Old High Cost of Living has not overlooked them. I am indebted. to Prof. " Edouard Dolleans, attached to the French foreign office, for some figures that will enlighten Americans. In quoting him, I shall translate prices into term of American money, to save the reader's time. Where Living la Expensive. "Before the war," Prof. Dolleans told me, "butter was forty cents a nound in Paris. Now it is $2 a pound, and very scarce at that Egges, once thirty-five cents a dozen, are now $1.80 a dozen. A young married man could stop at a market on his way home, before the war, and buy a steak for two at a cost of thirty cents. Today he would pay eighty or eight-five cents for it. The housewife who once bought -a chicken for from eighty cents to a dollar, now pays from $3 to $3.50, if she gets one. Milk has risen from nine cents a quart to twentythree cents., Sugar has gone from nine cents to nineteen cents, and we are limited to one pound per person per month." It is worth mentioning that butter and sugar are not served at hotels and restaurants. A hotel guest may go to police headquarters if he likes and obtain Bugar cards that will permit him to buy sugar, but he cannot have it otherwise. If he wishes to sweeten his coffee, the waiter will bring him a bottle of liquid sacchrlne with a quill in the cork, through which quill he may inject some of the colorless fluid into his cup if he cares to take chances. He probably will not like the taste of the saccharine, but he f should remember that it was a terrible war, and that the aftermath is still to be endured. . To resume with Prof. Dolleans' account: "Anthracite coal cost us about $6.40 per ton before the war; now it sells at $32 a ton. Once I paid $8 a pair for my shoes. The ones I have on, which are no better, cost me $22." Cost Less In New York. At the risk of seeming to have a too appraising eye, let me say that shoes of equal quality may be bought in New York today for about $12. I have seen displayed in the windows of stores here, shoes marked at forty-two francs (about $8.40) that are hardly equal to shoes obtainable ln America before the war at $3. ; , "How about wages and rents?" I asked. "Ordinary workmen are now paid about $3.50 for ten hours' work," Prof. Dolleans replied. "Before the war they ' received about $2.40 per day. Women workers average $2.50 for ten hours, as compared with $1.40 before tho war. "As for rents, I will give you a typical case. A small family of my acquaintance has an apartment comprising four rooms and bath that cost $600 per year before the war. Now the rent is $920 per year.

High Prices, Folk Are Hit

"A family of four that lived com fortably on a table allowance of $100 per month before tne war. now must And $200 per month to get along at all, with lesa to eat, and with fewer guests." H. C. of L. Hits Everybody. Do not these figures make plainly evident the fact that the home folks of Paris are having something of a struggle? How many luxuries do you suppose the $3.50 workman la able to afford, with butter selling at $2 a pound, and eggs at $1.80 a dozen? I am Inclined to think that Americana will not be too hard In judging a people who bear such conditions uncomplainingly. Neither will they fail to see why it Is that the doughboys have to pay stiff prices for some of the things they buy. . Let me give passing attention to the charge that Parisians are heartily disgusted with brawling and drunken American officers. I, too, heard of the incident mentioned early In this story, but believe that It is a mistake to lay too much stress upon it. The case was exceptional, but the reader might draw the conclusion that It was typical. American officers are gentlemen, in the vast majority of cases, and their bearing and conduct, in Paris as well as on the field of battle, are such as to reflect credit on their country. The occasional rowdy cannot mar the record of the great, fine majority. A Sunny People. The people of France, patient and almost unbelievabley courageous in times of calamity, are today as sunnyhearted and cheery as of old.

The boy's attitude did not betray any great amount of ambition. "I am surprised to see you standing here, my little man," said the woman kindly. "Why do you idle away your time on such a beautiful afternoon?" s "I am not idling," defiantly declared the boy. "I am working for a thrift stamp." "Working for a thrift stamp?" wonderingly responded the woman, who couldn't see any signs of labor. "Yes, Ma'am," returned the boy. "Mr. Smith Is sitting on the veranda with sister, and he told me that he would give me the" price of a thrift stamp if I would watch for father."

cana aeem very much at home among them, even though our soldiers are longing for the day when they will return to the land of flapjacks, corn bread, apple pie and other good things, no doubt the French people will be glad when they can have their owni country to themselves again. So would we be. Probably there are some -ever thrifty souls who crave overmuch the doughboy's money, but thoughtful soldiers have told mo that for every grasping shop keeper here, there is another near some camp or cantonment In America, This Is the truth. It would be shameful to allow any feeling of coolness or estrangement to some between such worthy comrades in arms aa the French, the Americans, and the British. Certainly the sensible people In America will never be party to anything of the sort. The French people, and the British as well, crave our disinterested friendship. So do the Germans, for that matter, and everyone must now he familiar with the Insidious efforts that are being made by the German people to ingratiate themselves with our men In the Rhine country, at the expense of good feeling and kindly relationships between our people and those who suffered in our cause.
