ASKS AMERICA TO AID
IN REBUILDING FRANCE
Tardieu A»ki For Labor of
American Troops in France,
Money and Material.
New York, Nov. ft. An appeal to
America to a."i«r Franco in her re
construction- with men. money ma
terial and ship: - wni made here laat
mjjht by Andre Tardieu, ireneral com
missioner for Franco-American af
fairs.
Declaring that the war has reduc-1
ed by one-fifteenth the effective popu
lation of the republic that 350,000,
homer have Seen destroyed, that ug
riculture, commerce and industry in
the invaded regions virtually have
heen wiped out, that French shipping
and foreign trad' have been rcduced
almost to non-existence, Mr. Tardieu
Mild that approximately 50,000,000,
000 f~incs (110,000,000,000) will he
required to finance the progreas of
restroation. While France,, "for
many months the main battlefield of
liberty and right," will dr .w upon her
colonics to mobilize thin vast mini, the
compnisaicner stated. she confidently
look? for aaalrtanre f om the allien.
From America, Mr. Taidieu con
tinual, making publ'c. r>. he *aid, re
p °o::enta>.inna w. ich he iiad presented
to the adminiatration at W-.Ainpton,
France asks for a contribution of la
bor by Americni trjops now on h-'r
aoilf fi ~ credit.-. to the xtent of 50
per cent, of he - reconntructi >n p tr
chasei, railroad rolling stock and ag
ricuitu-nl and industri-.l traLi, ar.d for
divtraioa of pr.ri of eme g*ricy
fleet to the uses of French commerce.
In explaining these needs .o the
American government, the commis
sioner said, he was given a "welcome
by wh'ch I was deeply moved."
While France will exnet restitution
for German depredations, Mr. Tar
dieu asserted, speed in the recons.ruc
tion is imperative, and "America, on
account of her immense capability for
production, aught to give us the flr.it
help."
* lit- r rem n commwBio.icr s appeal
to American* was made in an ad
dren.i before the Association of For
eign Pre us Co--respondent.". Intro
duced by Frank Dilnot, at Lor.don,
precedent of the organization, Mr.
Tardieu attributed the allied victory
to "t'le work of our soldier* and civil
populations" and to the "ioyal, wise
and skillful policy by which President
Wilson enabled the allies and Ameri
ca, in answer to the German request,
to determine in full liberty our condi
tions of armistice."
He continued: "France has lo«t 2,
500,000 men. Some are dead, some
maimed, some have returned sick and
incapacitated from German prisons.
Whether they be lost altogether, or
whether their working rapacity be
permanently reduced, they will not
participate in this reconstruction.
"The industrial disaster is complete
Plants, machinery, mine*—nothing i*
left. So complete i* the destruction
that, in the case of our great coal
mines in the north, two years of work
will be ^eded before a single ton of
coal can 1* extricated and 10 years
before the output is brought back to
the figures of 1913.
"France deems it fair that after
having been so many months the main
battlefield of liberty and right she
should now be helped in her efforts.
"To you American* let me say that
we want, first, immediate assistance
in the matter of labor. We hope that,
during the prepartion and the carry
ing out of the transportation of your
troops back to Amerim, your tech
nical as well as other unita with their
equipment will lie able to co-operate
1 in that effort.
"We will have to rle«r the recon
quered ground of the ruins accumu
lated by the German* hords. Your
army will help u* in thi* work while
our population will reatore her citiea
and village* "
Regarding French shipping needs
| Mr. Tardieu declared that "the coloa
I aal effort put forth by the United
State-* in the building of her fleet for
war purpose* will be diverted from
this sacred end. if it In part, helps
France to recover on the i'.e«s, for tho
revival of her forces in pcare, the
means of transportation which were
lost to her on account of the war."
Speaking "to America," Mr. Tar
dieu' said:
"For more than 100 years our lib
erties and yours have developed fra
ternally and today we, united, offer
to the world the startling lesson of
victory and democracy."
Germany Stripped of
It* Military Strength.
Washington, Nov. 11.—Analysis of
the terms imposed upon Germany
shows them to be even more drastic
than those being forced a gamut Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey.
From a military standpoint all of
these power* have been stripped even
of the means of defense. The object
sought—absolute prevention of a re
currence of hostilities is the sam« in
each case; and in general, the same
character of concessions were requir
ed, though in Germany's case there
was no necessity to provide for fu
ture campaigns against a remaining
enemy.
The surrender of 5,000 cannon 2,00*1
aeroplanes and other w^r material in
proportion, military men say, means
that for years to come the Germans
states will be unable to think in terms
of armed force against any of the
powers associated against them. Aus
tria, Bulgaria and Turkey a're in the<
same state as to military essentials. I
The strength of the German navy
has been cut awtty by the agreement
to surernder all submarines, six lit
tle cruiser* and 10 battleships 50
modern destroyers and many other
craft. At this single stroke Germany
would lose it* whole moder- fleet. The
ship* which remain are chiefly of ob
solete types. •
It was noted by officers here that
Marshal Foch and his naval adviser*
had not lost sight of the mutiny with
in the German fleet and the possibili
ty that thi* might interfere with the
carrying out o: the armi .tien naval
terms. The suplementary condition,
authorizing occupation of Heligoland
as an advanced base by the allies in
case the specified ships are not prom
ptly surrendered, is designed to ren
der the G" •.■nan lleet harmless in imv
case and its destruction certain in the
end.
ii #»s noteu aisu wiui sausiacuon
that ample precautions had been tak
en in the terms against the erection
of any interior defenses behind the
Rhine. The occupation of the Rhine
fortresses and of a kilometre zone on
the right bank of the river wherever
a bridije he< t ir. i< I «■ |i trt:r.icivc«
absolute domination of the 40 kilome
tre neutral zone established east of
the Rhine to the allied forces, even
without the K*rr>s°ninf!r °f ,ny cities
or other points within the zone. The
way is to be kept open continually
for advance into the heart of Ger
many by a dozen routes across the
KTcat river.

About The Coal
Situation
Coal is coming in now better than it has for the past
eighteen months and we wish to urge upon every one to
phone us and get your coal just as fast as we can make
deliveries.
We are already about out of direct orders to apply
against the application cards, and as soon as the direct
orders are delivered we will commence to work on the
cards, delivering the amounts of coal called for by them.
We are already finding a great many people who
ordered coal for 4 tons for instance and asked that all
be delivered at once and won't even tak»' one ton now.
The condition this Winter will not bo so bad as last
winter was, but after a few more weeks the weather will
be bad and all that we are guaranteed is one car per
week, and if a great deal more people don't take their
coal within the next four weeks the one car per week
will not be enough to go around for the weekly supply.
The large cities have not yet commenced to use any
cojil to speak of yet and when they commence about
December 1st we will be able to only get the one car per
week that the Fuel Administration has promised.
While the one car per week that he will get is of the
Tennessee coal which sells for $9.50 per ton would cost
you more, those who have bought this coal say that is the
best coal they have ever seen and that the difference in
price is more than made up by the increase in quality,
all will agree with this too after they have once tried thus
coal.
I mention this price of $9.50, because many have been
buying at $8.25, so that if the driver presents you with a
bill for $9.50 it will be Tenuess**1 c<ml and this is the
amount the Fuel Chairmaa >ras told us to get for this su
perior coal. ^
I hope th^t all >yfio can will phone us their orders or
tell them to me ojr'the street so that you will know the
coal is comy>g and will be prepared to pay for it upon
delivery, a* yt must deliver coal for cash only, since for
every poujyf we get we have to pay for it in advance.
We Again thank you for the patronage of the past
and beg to assure you of our continued efforts to please.
We know that we are being furnished as good coal
by the Fuel Administration as we have ever bought and
as long as we have coal w« will do all in our power to
please every customer.
Don't wait, but let us have your direct order for
deliver}- as soon as possible so that you will not be among
those this winter who will have to buy in small lots and
often then can't buy at all.
Yours as always to please you.
