to Charleston yesterday, after
having toured France for several
s weeks, visiting the scene of the engagement
in which he'was wounded
while serving during the war as a lieutenant
of the First division of the
American expeditionary forces.
The scars of war are plainly in evidence
in the villages and cities of ol^
the area of France for which Allied
-and Teutonic forces struggled for
more than four years, according .to
Mr. Visnnska. But, surrounding shattered
villages are well-cultivated

Mr. Visanska visited France, England,

France Needing Coal.
By observation and as the result of
conversations with well-informed
Frenchmen, Mr. Visansjta formed the
opinion that the industrial life of
France is fast becoming reestablished.
The most serious problem confronting
manufacturers is the scarcity-of coal,
he learned. The French coal mines
were so damaged during the wur that
they will not be productive for three
years to came. In the meantime,
American coal is being bought in spite
of the enormous handicap of the
present rate of exchange, to keep the
boilers of the necessary plants in opprfltinn
ho onirl
Everything: in France costs more
now than it did during: the war, Mr.
Visanska found. He explained that
it cost more in terms of francs, but for
the American, is actually cheaper because
the dollar is now worth approximately
fourteen franck, whereas during:
the war, it was worth from Ave to
six francs. The people of France, as
a result, find "la vie chore" as they
term the "H. C. h", the most serious
question of the day.
An ex-s.ervioe man who had been in
France asked Mr. Visanska what was
the current quotation for champagne,
