Amerioa undoubtedly will be the
big factor in supplying France With
the necessary agricultural machinery
to make Intensive farming possible.
, The only way France will be able
to free itself from the war-time food
restrictions," said" Food Controller
Boret, "will be to greatly Increase
agricultural production. The nation
must become self-supporting." -
To understand what Boret means it
must be remembered that heretofore
ii per cent of French farms have
been worked entirely by hand, or by
the use of antiquated threshing ma
chines and the like. Mechanical force,
as the American farmer understands
it, is almost totally unknown here.
"Unfortunately," Boret cejitinued.
"there will be a serious shortage of
farm labor. It 1 among this class

The city now la wreathed In smiles.
Its people go about their daily tasks,
a great burden lifted. Everybody Is
looking to the peaceful future, plan

lights shone on faces aglow all over
London. .. : 5 .
. All London was one big smile. Ev
erywhere it was one delirious song.
Everybody was wearing a banner,
"It's Time to Smile."
Everybody was singing "Pack up
your troubles in your old kitbag and
amlle." ' .
One minute before 11 the street
were comparatively deserted, though
newsies were yelling their peace ex
tras, Then at 11. as the battlefronts
fell quiet, biff! boom! bang! the
racket started throughout the city.

. Soldiers and girls danced on the
streets in a delirium of Joy..
The Jubilation grew throughout
the day and at night the lid was oft all
lighting and 'closing restrictions.
"Hang Dora," read a popular ban
ner, for Dora is the British slang for
the defense" of the ' realm act under
which restrictions k of wartime were
Imposed. . i
I went, down into the East End.
The streets seemed deserted, though
women were laughing and crying ev
erywhere. ... - -
Mothers Weep Tears of Joy. .-
I found Mrs. Edith Rooinson? tears
streaming down her cheeks, ' waving
frantically' at a passing bus.
"I'm crying like a fool. I am," she
aid. . "I cant help but be happy,
you can believe me., when I tell you
I've got a son out there. One Is gone
three years ago. But the boy that's
left now Is sure to come home.
"Just think, right now if 's quiet
out there! There's no more killing.
Thank the good God! I suppose tt will
be a long time before my boy gets
back, but what does it matter when
I'm sure he'll come home!? -"
Not a riple s caused here when
the first of Britain's enemies let go
of the war. Not ripple was caused
by the collapse of Germany's allies
which sealed the rate of the Hun.
When news of the kaiser's abdication
came the Britisher mfefely carried on.
. But the news that the armistice had
put an end to killing was the word
that loosed the pent-up emotions of
long and weary years. ,
The wife of an ' American official
who ha been here since early In the
war has not yet recovered from the
shock. She says: -
"And I thought the British were
phlegmatic. Gee whis!" -
