FRANCE'S RECOVERY MIRACULOUS, SAYS HERBERT HOUSTON

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-r-France's "victory In peace" in her reconstruction "nails the lie that her heople are not working,' Herbert S. Houston. New York publisher, declares after a period of research at Paris whence he recently returned. Offering statistics showing remarkable rehabilitation in former devastated regions, where German divisions

wrought havoc in industrial, farming and mining sections, Mr. Houston characterises the recovery of the

French people as another "miracle of

the Maine." In an article in the cur

rent issue of World's Work he says: "With government support, includ

ing loan totalling 9,09,082,916 francs

for agricultural and industrial recon

struction in 'devastated departments,' the French people have reoponed 5,345 out of 6,455 schools exlstant before the war: bujlt or rebuilt 28,200

temporary wooden and 16,8000 permanent stone buildings, and erected 28,500 wooden barracks to replace ; houses destroyed; cleared 3,339,000

hectares (a hectare Is about 2tt acres)

out of 3,950,000 of barbed wire and trenches; employed 1,500 men pumping out and cleaning up flooded mines; rebuilt 475 out of 600 railroad

bridges, with 80 more in course of construction; reoponed virtually all of

1.100 kilometers of canals destroyed,

and rebuilt 136 wharves and built 28

new ones. "Today, less than two years from the armistice, the population of the Invaded regions has grown from less than 2,000,000 to more than 4,000,000, approximately three-quarters of the pre-war population," Mr. Houston says, adding that the return was "not that of the prodigal son." American committees have done much to help France rebuild. Mr. ' Houston declares, adding that introduction of farming machinery to the French peasantry probably was America's best contribution. "As a result to a considerable degree of this mechanical assistance, greatly increasing the producing power of the fewer workers, the devastated regions in 1920 will raise enough crops for food products," he predicts.

Flans for the organization of a chamber of commerce for Richmond were discussed at a meeting of business men at the "Y" at noon, Monday. No sub-committees were appointed, nor any definite business transacted. Mass meetings have been held from time to time since the abandonment of the old Commercial club. Several attempts have been made to organize a civic body but definite organization has not been perfected. Speakers at the luncheon Monday brought out the various viewpoints that the people of Richmond are said to have toward a new organization. One idea that prevails, they said, was one voiced thus, "Let Richmond get so bad, that everybody will see the need, of a civic club, and then everybody will be in favor of it and will want to join." Believe in Organization, But Others, the speaker said, believe that an organization should be formed at once but differ as to the kind, or as to the methods of electing officers and directors. The idea of letting Richmond get so bad that drastic steps would have to be taken to right things, was discouraged at the meeting. "I would not run my business that way," one business man said, " and neither would any of the rest of you." The central idea developed was the idea that the proposed commercial organization should be more than simply

an organization to encourage fac

tories to move to Richmond. The idea as developed, was that that club should start out to make Richmond

the live kind of a city that would ap

peal to factories and indirectly en

courage them to come here by giving the town proper publicity concerning

its railroad facilities, school system, etc., rather than make an Insistent campaign for particular factories. Resembles Old Plan Closely The plan as brought out for the proposed Organization would follow closely the one originated by the committee, composed of Walker Land, J. J. Harrington, Ed Wilson, Ray Robinson and Walter Fulghum. This committee was appointed at the last mass meeting to devise some sort of a civic club. The committee visited Dayton, O., during a civic celebration there and went over plans for organizing a chamber of commerce with the secretary of the chamber

there. After their visit they formulated the plan that will be presented to the business men of Richmond who are interested in having a chamber of commerce here. Will Form Separate Divisions Under the proposed plan, farmers, laborers, retailers, wholesalers, teachers, real estate men, social organizations, manufacturers, in fact, men from every line will form a separate division. These divisions are to elect their director who will serve on the board of directors fit the chamber of commerce. This plan, the committee thinks, will eliminate the danger of any one class dominating the assembly.

The membership for the chamber of commerce have been tentatively placed at $25 per year. This figure

was selected because the United States Chamber of Commerce has es

timated that the Average chamber requires at least $19 per member for

running expenses. Begin Campaign at Once

The committee is expected to begin

active preparations- for an organiza

tion campaign at once "and is expected

to present its complete report at an

other mass meeting to be held within

the next few days. In case the recom

mendations are adopted rooms will be

rented and an active campaign will

be started.

A fall festival, Armistice Day celebration or some other patriotic festival were suggested as convenient means for firing the first guns In the organization.

Ask Modification of

Northwest's Coal Priority

WASHINGTON. Aug. 30. Modifica

tion of the emergency order directing

railroads to give preference and priority to the northwestern states in the movement of coal was sought, today from the interstate commerce commission by the chambers of commerce of Cleveland and Akron, O. Representatives of the two chambers at a hearing before the commission asked that somejof the coal passing through their districts for the relief of the northwest fuel shortage be diverted for the use of the Ohio cities. Coal shipments to the northwest have been sufficient to practically take care of the needs of that section, it was claimed. Importance was attached to the outcome of the hearing by officials of the commission who said that modification of the northwest priority order might result in cancellation of all such emergency orders now in effect, as a precedent would be established in favor of other communities seeking similar treatment. Representatives of coal consuming interests of North Carolina have asked the commission to allow some of the coal enroute to New England under emergency orders to be diverted to their state.

Fresh Berries in Winter Is U. S. Department Plan WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 Fresh berries and cherries in midwinter are possible, the experts of the department of agriculture announce after extensive experiment Successful methods of storing fruits and berries in frozen condition have been demonstrated and, the government experts say, these should be more fully utilized in relieving the market of surplus receipts of highly perishable fruits while in sound, edible condition. They declare that preservation by freezing is cheaper than canning, especially, when tin containers are costly, as at present, and an important industry of steady development is looked for in this line. Fruit held at proper temperatures, the experts say, has a more natural flavor than when canned or dried and

is fully as satisfactory as fresh fruit, is superior to canned and dried fruit in making ice creams and sherbets,

and for cooking in the form of pies, preserves, jellies and other desserts and confections.

Amundsen Expects Drift To Carry Him Across Pole; Starts Out From Nome SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30. Trails

Diazea across the Arctic ice pack a quarter of a century ago by Fritjof Nansen, Norwegian explorer, were expected to be followed for a distance, by Nansen's fellow countryman. Captain Roald Amundsen, discover of the South Pole, when he left Nome, Alaska, recently on an attempt to drift across or near the North Pole.

Hansen, in 1895, attempting the same drift, sailed around Russia and Siberia and locked his boat, the Fram. in the ice off the New Siberian Islands, which lie in the Arctic north of Siberia. Amundsen, on leaving Nome, said he planned to sail to the same New Siberian Islands, let his boat, the Maude, freeze in the ice and then allow the winds and currents to carry him where they wished. Explorers' theories that an Arctic Ocean current starts near the New Siberian Islands, runs through the Polar sea, across or near the Pole, and finally ends at Greenland, in the Atlantic, were used by both Nansen and Amundsen as a base upon which they made

their plans. Existence of the current has been disputed by many Arctic authorities, who claimed the wind and not the current determined the route of the everdrifting Polar ice. Nansen, one of the first advocates of the theory, pointed to the fact that wreckage from the exploring craft, the Jeanette, destroyed near the New Siberian Islands, was found two years after the wreck along the Greenland coast. A "throwing

stick" used by Alaskan Eskimos was found, it has been claimed, in driftwood on a Greenland beach. The wreckage and the stick, it was argued, lodged on an ice floe which carried them across the Polar wastes to Greenland. Nansen found the drift not as strong as he expected, mainly because the Polar basin was mnr.h rifnr than ho

has believed. He also discovered that the wind determined, to a great extent, the route of the ice drifts. The Fram was carried to within 350 miles of the Pole and later cleared the ice near Greenland. When the drifting Fram arrived at the 82nd parallel, Nansen attempted to reach the Pole over the ice. With one companion he left the ship and, in what has been described as the most daring sledge journey ever undertaken, proceeded to the 86th degree, at that time, the farthest north ever reached by man. There he turned back.
