YOUJNO, -County Treasurer. 40,000 WORKING IN FRENCH MILLS Textlie Industries that Were Damaged by German Shells are Now In Full Operations. Lille, France, Dec. 24.-Forty thou sand persons are at. 'work in the French textile mills which only a few months ago were razed or looted by the Germans of their wonderfully del icate machinery. The correspondent of the Associated Press was given the facts with reference to this industry today by French authorities who have arranged -x trip to show him the strides made by the nation in recon struction. Within a year, government oflicials and manufacturers agree, production of textiles will reach half of the pre war total, and within two years, these men forecast, the 1911 output iWill be surpassed. The -wool industry is said to be re covering most rapidly. with cotton in second :place. LInen weaving is re ported to he slowest in getting back to normal because of the shortage of flax, formerly obtained from Russia. 'In Lille and the adjoining cities of Roubaix and Turcoing, where tile tex tile manufacturers are centered, It is estimated '0,000 men, women and chil dren now are busied with combing, spinning and weaving, and approxi mately 10,000 are employed In the smaller mills of surnounding towns where pro:Cress iN slower but is be ing wushed with equal vigor. Statistics compiled by the govern ment from necessarily accurate state ments, upon which factories are paid reconstruction Indemnities, show that in the Lill district on October 1st, last, there were 36,38.1 persons work ing In 162 textile Plants compared with 106,061 employed before the war In 265 factories. In all of the 491 textile milli of the liberated region thero were employed in August of this year only 21,027 of the 152,948 persons at work four years ago. Reconstrucetion of the textile indus try was declared by manufacturers a few months ago to be almost a hope less task. At least they said, it would be so slow that France would lose her world trade in. textiles. Now, however, a brighter view is being taken, and governemnt figures sho-s the Industry has reached two-fifths of normal production. Manufacturers themselves concede that the output is at least one-third of that before the war. All agree that rehabilitation Is proceeding more rapidly each month as the looted machinery is being re turned from Germany or new instal lations are coming from England and the United States. Some of the equipment was not re moved, but merely damaged, by the Germans, and this is being repaired. This Industrial recovery which seened unimposing at first, has been made through the combined efforts of the government and plant ownerr against (Ilhlemulties that appear mo formidable the closer they are ex amined. D)irect damage to the textile indus try is eathnia ted by thle in istry of reconstruct ion at 20,000.000,000 francs. *.. eee .. . 0 .. .00. *TDIALS NEWS1. * * 0 eeeeeee.
