FRANCE IS STILL STRONG.
Well Abie to Hear Her Part in War.
News for Americans.
Washington. Aug. 4.?France is
stronger today in fighting men and
war material than at an> time during
^ thewar, despite three > ears of terrific
combat of which the greatest
share among the allies has fallen to
the French armies.
This is the cheering message to the
American people given tonight by
Andre Tardieu. high commissioner of
France in the Fnited States, in a formal
communication to Secretary Bak-j
er setting forth a detailed statement
of what the devotion of the French j
people has made possible.

the men, guns and money they have
contributed to the war. It breathesi
the spirit of confidence and high courage
that still animates the nation.
It asserts without hesitation that
the United Slates is to aid in striking
the last blow at the foe.
"Such is the situation." says M.
Tardieu in conclusion. "Severe was
the ordeal; stronger in the national
emergency. ,,
"Xow it is a question of striking
the last blow to the adversary. You
will help lis.
"But at the moment when American
soldiers arrive in France, it is proper
to let them know what they will find,
to receive them, in a country which
today* as well as during the past three
years bears the principal exertion of
our dreadful foe; a country which
maintains, to the maximum of her
power, without hesitation and without
weakness, her strength, her
means and her will." 4
Compliment to Fiance.
Secretary Baker pays high compli
ment to the spirit or France in his
brief reply. American officers are
unanimous, he says, ni their praise of
the splendid courage and military efficiency
of the French people.
"Now that America has begun to
contribute soldiers and matrials to
this war," says the secretary, "it will
.be well for our'people to have the
story you have told, in order that we
may realize that our army is going to
share the imperishable glory which
belongs to the soldiers of France and
her allies who have fought so long
and with such increasing spirit and
determination in tlie cause of liberN
tv."
M. Tardieu says in ?is statement
that today there are nearly 3,000,000
French troops in the zone of the
armies alone, exclusive of those in the
. zones of the interior and the colonies.
That is a million more men than were
used to stem the German floodtide
at the Marne and the greatest number
France has ever mustered in the
fighting zone. The commissioner adds
that the force can be maintained "for
a long time to come.
He shows that French "definite
casualties" in killed and prisoners
have dropped from 4.41 per cent, of
all mobilized forces at the battle of
the Marne, to 1.2S per cent, during
the last six months of 1916: that
France is holding 57" kilometers of
the 739 kilometers on the Western
front and that her troops in June this
year were facing 81 of the 123 German
divisions concentrated on that
line.
Lots of Guns Too.
As to guns, the commissioner J
shows that French armies had an
ample supply of the famous 75s from
the first and that her 300 heavy guns
in August, 1014, had increased to
6.000 in June, 1917, giving one heavy
gun for every 26 meters of the French
offensive fronts this year. Including
all field and trench suns, he says,
there is a gun for every eight meters
in the sector attack.
To feed the 75s, the daily output
nf sbpiu has risen from 13,000 in j
1914 to a quarter of a million today,
and 100.000 projectiles for the heavy
guns are supplied each day in addition.
During the last offensive a total
weight of projectiles averaging
1,442 kilograms (about 1 1-2 tons)
was hurled into every lineal meter of
the German trenches assaulted and
12,000,000 shells of all calibres were
expended by French guns. In addition
to all this, France completely reequipped
and rearmed the Belgium,
Servian and Greek armies and furnished
SOo heavy guns to her allies.
On the financial side, the tables
show that France has expended 82,647,000,000
francs (nearly $10.000.-1
000,000) since the war began. During
the war she received from foreign
countries 6.000.000.000 francs
and loaned to several of her allies
4.000,0oO.o '?o franes.

PEACE MI CH WOHSE THAN WAR.

Lloyd George Points Out That Allied
Victory Must He Complete.
London, August 4.?David Lloyd
I George, the British premier, in the
! presence of a distinguished gathering
representatives of all parties which
met this afternoon in Queen's Hall to
mark the third anniversa\*of the declaration
of war, reiterated the aims
for which the entente allies were
fighting and indicated the only conditions
under which they would con-j
| sent to a suspension of hostilities with
jthe central powers,
j The premier in opening his address
asked what would have happened if
Great Britain had not entered the
war. He answerd this question by
saying: "Europe would have been at
j tlie mercy of a cruel military power.
' ? - i- A t i
j France would nave iougm uiavei>
I but might have been overwhelmed.
America's Monroe doctrine would
have been treated as a scrap of paper.
The fact today is that we have
checked the ambitious of Germany."
In the course of his speech Premier
Lloyd George said: "Victory
must be so complete that our national
liberty never again shall be challenged.
"Russia learned that an army without
.discipline is a rabble.
"There are some here who want to
set up committees for the British
army and direct the conduct of the
war. We cannot allow a sectional organization
to direct the war or to
dictate the terms of peace. The nation
as a whole made war and the
nation as a whole must make peace."
The British prime minister said he
did not trust the German peace talk.
"Neither the kaiser nor the chancellor."
he declared, "has not said he
would be satisfied with German soil.
They talk glibly about peace but
stammer over the word restoration.
Before we have a peace conference
they must learn to use the word
restoration. Sc far they have not
learned even the first letter of the
alphabet.
"War is a ghastly busings, but it
is not^so bad as their peace. While
"" " ? ^ *** L ? ^ i?r 1 nrl
KI1U*> UiClI piut liao uuovai i icu
this time the Prussian war lords have
determined to succeed the next time.
"There must be 110 next time.
This generation must eliminate war
from the tragedies of human life."
Continuing, Mr. Lloyd George said:
"If we sow seeds of discontent and
disunion in the nation we shall reap
defeat. A nation which falters before
it reaches its purpose will never become
a great people.
"No one in Great Britain, France.
Italy and Russia or even in Germany
and Austria has any idea how near we
are today to the summit of our hope."
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the national war aims
committee and was probably the
ereatpst nntriotip demonstration of
the year. The Marquis of Crewe,
leader of the Liberal party in the
house of lords, was chosen to preside.
He was supported by the Archbishop
of Canterbury, 20 members of the
government and 100 members of
parliament. Baron Sonnino, the Italian
foreign minister, and Xikola Pachita,
the Servian premier, were invited
guests.
As Minister Sonnino and the other
representatives of the entente allies
reached the platform the gathering
rose and cheered again and again
while the playing of the national anthems
of the allies aroused tremendous
enthusiasm.
Premier Lloyd George's appearance
was the signal for a remarkable manifestation
of popular fervor.

Changes in Food.
Besieged Paries learned to eat
horse flesh under stress of necessity,
and the present steadily lessening
supply of old staples has suggested
that the world may ere long be forced
to make important changes in its
food habits. As new sources of flesh,
whales, sharks, and reindeer have!
been mentioned. Exhibits of possi- j
ble foods have been prepared by the!
American Museum of Natural His-!
tory, and include periwinkles and
mussels, already prized as food in
some parts of the world, as well as
devil fishes, skates, and snakes, which
have been shown to very palatable
when prejudice is overcome. Among
the vegetable products shown are
dulse, which lias long been prized in
Scotland and Iceland, and other seaweeds.
The many plants introduced
by the department of agriculture give
