America may well look to France for example and Inspiration In prepar- ' tng to develop her foreign trade after the war. In all history there Is no - feeople whose rising to meet a seemlng- !y overwhelming assault upon every thing they consider worth while has had such, power over the emotions of mankind. There has been a complete surrender of the naton as a whole to the Idea that every available agency should be utilzed for the single pur pose of winning the war. France has sustained every shock of war. Some f the fairest portions of her territory have been overrun, and others are use less except for- military operations. Now, with characteristic adjustabili ty, the French are transforming emer gency Into opportunity. In all tbelr preparations for reconstruction when peace comes they are applying the principles that hae been at the foun dation of their efficiency in the war. They propose to keep mobilized for a considerable period after the war is over that spirit of unity, co-operation and concentration in enterprise that has kept them from vassalage since the war began. France sees clearly the double na rure of her problem. She must re More the country itself and must re-r-stnlillsfc. It. relationship with' other countries. In doing both she looks to h United States for help. She pro poses 10 purchase in this country vast -upplies of raw material, building sup pi i'.- nnl machinery, which she cannot get from her colonies or, from other nations er. raged, tilte herself, in the work of ivVabllitation. She proposes 10 pay for those things and to meet the !i'''ts she now owes by selling to this, fountry not only an increased quantity of those things !.t the manu facture of which she excels, but also Sfc L .

She refuses to consider resuming purchases of raw materials in Germany. She be lieves, too, that we shall rather buy from her than Germany. France's determination to eliminate Germany from future economic rela tionships is well Illustrated in her plans regarding the future of the chemical industry. The French Intend from now on to develop to the limit that production of raw materials for use in the manufacture of chemicals for which the necessity of war has proved their capacity, and to Increase greatly the number of their factories engaged in the manufacture of chemicals. New companies have been organized, and capitalizations have been lncreaseo since the war began, and special schools are graduating chemists. The Republican Committee of Com merce, Industry and Agriculture, which was founded In 1914 under the auspices of the Ministry of Commerce, has been surveying the possibilities of the French colonies and of friendly countries to ascertain where products formerly imported from Germany are to be obtained. The French govern ment isnow concluding agreements for materials with" countries which, it Is hoped, will prove to be permanent sources of supply. . In preparation to meet German com mercial competition after the war the French are trying now . through the medium of great fairs, like those at Lyons, to acquaint all the world with the excellence of their wares, and also to learn from the exhibits of others where French importers may look for their requirements. . The French war debt at the close of this year probably will be nearly $24, 000,000,000, or about four times what it was before the war. For several years France has been a lender to Russia, and the present state 'of that country has postponed the payment of this debt Probably Great Britain and the United States will help their ally with this burden, but even then the task will take time to accomplish. France has certain elements of strength, however, upon which she is relying to restore her former prosperi ty. She has a splendid climate, a rich soil and an . industrious and -thrifty population. With her coal and iron mines, her crops of wheat, grapes, hemp, flax and jute, her skill in the manufacture of leather, hosiery, cotton goods, glassware and silk goods, her future is exceptionally bright. There will probably pass from view, for a GERMANY'S NAUGHT REMAINS OP INDUSTRIES BUT TANGLED IRON AND HEAPS OF BRICK time at least, that France of highly specialized, . highly Individualized and artistic manufactures to which the world turned for tasteful luxuries. Her leaders look forward to a long pe riod of standardized, quantitative pro duction' for the markets of new coun tries. They expect also to exploit the colonies that can purchase raw ma terials and absorb finished products. Until her debts are paid France will be a nation of traders. France has gone steadily toward her goal of bringing foreign trade under the strictest control, and her govern ment proposes to insure the country against any private Interference with the work of rebuilding and rehabilita tion. .. She must have easy and cheap com munication' with her colonies and with other countries. The prime essential is ships. All sea-going ' vessels have been requisitioned forgovernment serv would have to pay higher freight t2 to the owners after the ships were ia water. This would place not onlT porters but all French Industry mi a handicap In the competition for aften war marseo. xi is proposed, there fore, that the state shall replace stroyed ships, as it can buy material more cheaply, and therefore will be able to contract for new ships on I 1 M 1 I . . - uasia ii lu&ui ing rtatsonaDie rates to the trader. ' The government contract, to replace snips in uus manner wlthi. three years after the war, these shin, uecwining me nosoxoce property of those from whom their equivaW. nave Deen requisitioned. On the other hand, the Ministry dm. poses to build a state-owned fleet far tne 'colonies, .wnicn will be managed by snip owners, me siaie soaring In th profits and deficits. There will be no more subsidies for ships In which the srovernment Has no interests. With these plans go proposed harbor im. provement. France has today no har- bor, where ships of. the largest types can dock. The government Dlans fnr. ther to co-ordinate railroads and shin. ping lines, especially across the Med iterranean to Algiers and Tunis. , While France cannot avoid making extensive purchases of building mate rials and machinery abroad, she plans to curtail largely her food Imports. Wheat, barley "and rye are grown or- dinarily, but the war has bronght many changes," and the French ore get. ting acquainted ' with the cheaper cereals, such , as Indian corn, millet and rice flour. In the government re port on war economy It was recom mended that every parcel of soil not cultivated be sown without delay with wheat, barley, Indian corn and oats, and planted with potatoes and vege tables. Legislation to Increase agricultural production is being framed. Deserted territory will be cultivated. A back- to-the-farm movement has been Inau gurated, and bonuses are to be given to those who abandon their ancient Implements for modern . agricultural machinery. France has no such resources of men and materials as have Great Britain and the . United States. She under stands that without the most intense application of energy to such resources as she has. Increased production, elim ination of all waste, and a resolute ef-, fort to win foreign markets, she will; be unable to regain her standing among commercial nations. That e! fort she Is making. She invites the United States to establish relation! with her that will be of mutual benefit. There is for this country no greatei opportunity for service and profit IISL STORES 1 MARKETS Pensacola, Oct. 1. The spirit "mar ket was firm at 57 with sales & &. R. Receipt s, Casks.

The cotton mar ket showed renewed steadiness early today, although still influenced by trie war - and- political, news and there al so were reports of a fine southern spot situation. First prices were 7 to 15 points higher -with December trailing at 33.23 and January at 33.00. There was some bnying for Liverpool ac count as well ' as scattered covering but the advance met realizing and al so southern calling. The latter was attributed to the liquidation of hedges against spot cotton sold to British and Japanese interests during the past day or. two and prices sagged off several points before the end of the first hour. General business was quiet with traders waiting for the govern ment reports tomorrow. The market became easier lite in the morning under continued realizing and scattered hedge selling. October sold off to 33.03 or 67 points net lower, while later months sold about 43 to 50 points under last night"s closing figures, with December touching 32.65 and January 32.45.
