If he shoul choose the latter of which he wa once chairman, Senator Dillinghair of Vermont, who once headed th immigration committee, would be i line for the judiciary body and i Senator Dillingham should prefer hi old committee, Senator Brandege of Connecticut, ranks next for th judiciary leadership.

APPEAL TO AMERICA TO ASSIST FRANCE Andre Tardieu Says Sorely Tried Country Must Depend on Sister Republic for Men, Money, Materials and Ships in Rebuilding After Destruction. New York, Nov. 9.?An appeal tc America to assist France in her reconstruction?with men, money, materials and ships?was made here Inst night by Andre Tardieu, genera' commissioner for Franco-Americar war affairs. Declaring th?t the war has reduced by 1-15th the effective ponula tion of the republic, that 350,00( " ome-s have been destroyed, thai Mqriculture. commerce and industrj in the invaded regions virtually have ' sen wiped out, that French ship ninj* and foreign trade have beer ri'dueocl almost to non-existence, M1 Tardieu said that approximate!} "0,000,000,000 francs ($10,000,000 000>, will be rcnuired to financc tin proccss of restoration. While France ''for many months the main battle field of liberty and right." will drav upon her every resource and thos< of her colonics to mobilize this vas ?um, the commissioner stated, sh< confidently looks for assistance fron the allies. From America, Mr. Tardieu con tinued, making public, as he said representations which he had pre nented to the administration a Washington. France asks for a con tribution of labor by America! troops now on her soil; for credit: to the extent of 50 per cent, of he reconstruction purchases in thi country for raw materials, railroa< rolling stock and agricultural an< industrial tools and for diversion o part of the emergency fleet to th< uses of French commerce. In ex plaining these needs to the Ameri can government, the commissione: d said, he was given "a welcome by J d which I was deeply moved." r I To Give First Help. *-j While France will exact restitu-| r|tion for German depredations, Mr., i- j Tardieu asserted, speed in the re01 construction is imperative and "America on account of her immense capacity of production, ought to give i- us the first help." nj The French commissioner's appeal g I to Americans was made in an adi-j dress before the Association of Fordi eign Press Correspondents. Introsi duced by Frank Dilnot of London, i,'president of fhe organization, Mr. e | Tardieu attributed the allied victory n; to "the work of our soldiers and fj civilian population", and to the sj "loyal, wise and skillful policy by e means of which President Wilson e enabled the allies and America, in y answer to the German request to dey, termine in full liberty our conditions r of armistice." He continued: ej "France has lost 2,500,000 men. , Some are dead, some maimed, some ..'have returned sick and incapacitat, ed from German camps. Whether j.they bo lost altogether, or whether jj| their working capacity be permar; nently reduced, they will not parti'tipate in this reconstruction. i<mi i fi.1. l _ * i _ _ i ne win part 01 our people is missing at the very time we need all our material and moral forces in ora : der to build up our life again. "The youngei*, stronger part of " our nation, the flower of France, P , has died on the battle fields. Our country has been bereft of its most I precious resources. "Our war expenses, 120,000,000,000 francs, are weighing heavily on ; our shoulders. To pay off this debt there are at hand only such limited | resources as invasion has left us. The territories which have been un- s der German occupation for four a ! years were the wealthiest part of g France. Their area did not exceed | i 6 per csnt. of the whole country. p ! They paid, however, 25 per aent. of | the sum total of our taxes. i 1 '"Ths industrial disaster is com, plcte. The districts occupied by the V Germans and whose machinery has i ' been methodically destroyed or tak- I 5ten away by the enemy, were, indus- I ^trially speaking, the very heart of | ! France. They were the very back- d bone of our production." ! Engraved Cards and Invitations at The Press and Banner. , ; i ; f | Subscribe to The Press and Banner.' ! m I, ,1,.
