House* Arise From the Ground and Field* Covered With Promising Crops—Population of Devastsd Area Optimistic. Paris.—An impressive picture of the extent of France’s achievement in re storing her war-ravaged regions is af forded by M. Loucheur, the minister of i liberated regions, tn a public state ment entitled "The Revival of France." Official stm 1st tea of the destruction • caused by the war and the recoustruo- i tlon accomplished up to May 1, 1921, the minister stutes, show that “the France of loduy Is the same us France of yesterday, and that In peace us tn wur she continues to work with stead fastness. courage and confidence." After showing Umt 6,154,000 of the 68.400.000 Frenchmen from 19 to 50 years of age mobilized during the war were killed or wounded, the state ment presents the following statistics of civic reconstruction. Inhabitants—Deported because of the war, 2,500,278; returned to France, 1,975,798. Municipalities—Abandoned, 3,260; re-established, 3,216. Schools- Before the war, 7,271; re established, 0,830. Houses Destroyed, 789,000; rebuilt, 10,213; repaired, 826,700. Lund Devastated, 8,240,000 acres; cleared from projectiles, wire entangle ments and trendies, 0,881,00Q acres.

(Prepared bj the National <i oirraphlo 80 clety, Wauhlngtun. I> (' ) Cuba, which immediately following the World war climbed I" heights of prosperity seldom attained hy any other small country, has passed now Into the valley of hard limes; and the reason In both cases was the same— sugar. l or though Ihe Island’s annual tobacco harvest is very valuable and though It has many other potential, If undeveloped, resources, it is hardly overemphasizing the importance of sugar production to gay that Cuba is a one-crop country. When European and Eastern sugar was unobtainable prices soared skyward and Cuba not only cashed in heavily on her usual production but feverishly Increased her cane acreage and sugar mills. Now that sugar from the eastern hemis phere is reaching the world markets while Europe has little buying power, sugar prices have fallen to low levels and Fttba is finding her war-increased crop a drug on the market. Financial gloom has followed upon the heels of • most hectic prosperity, "as the night, the day.” Sugar-cane Is grown hy throe classes of planters In Cuba. Perhaps the major part of the crop Is grown hy ■hare farmers, or “Coburns,” as they are called. The owners of the sugar mills furnish them with a given num ber of acres of land to plant and give them an agreed share of the sugar they produce. They Made Money Rapidly. The next cluss is composed of the land owning farmers, who grow their own cane and have It ground fin shares, after the fashion of the rural grist mill. The remainder of the cane Is grown by the owners of the mills themselves. At some centrals the “administration" cape us that grown under "central” management Is known, amounts to only 4 tier cent of the total; at others It amounts to 90 per cent. Even the share farmer, at pre-war prices, made money According to "Culm Before the W rid.’’ the official handbook of the rep Idle at the l’nn ama Pacific exposlt n, when sugar was selling at 2.02 cents a pound, his share of the sugar brought him, on the basis of twelve sacks to the acre, ■ return of front $40 to S51 per acre. When one remembers that the selling price of sugar In IQ’.'1» was from four to six times as high as before the war, the size of the per ri re Income at the high tide of prices Is apparent. Boom in Sugar Lands. A great deal of the cane land pro duces much more sugar to the acre than the modest twelve bags that formed the basis of the calculations cited from “Cuba Before the World.” According to figures umixhed by the Cuban department of agriculture, much land produce* 22 b g* to the acre. This, at 15 cents a pound, brings a gross return of more than $1,000 an acre. These conditions brought about an unprecedented boom tn sugar lands. One sugar estate, « ilch was bought about 1017 for $3,OOP 000, sold In Jan uary 1920 for $9,r,u0,000. Another which was valued at about $6,000,000 a few years before. < hanged hands at $15,000,000. Numerous new "centrals" were built, all capitalized on the basis of earn ings during the early months of 1020. Thousands of Amerb an capitalists In vested In these flourl hlng enterprises. How Cubu’s receipts from sugar ex panded Is shown by 'lie fact that the 1915 crop brought a total return of less than $200,000,000 while two-thirds of the 1020 crop (ime-thlrd remains unsold) brought $400,000,000. Production Cheaper There. Cuba has the aihantuge of every country In producing sugar cheaply. Most countries have to plant every two years and some of them every season, hut the average In Cuba Is once Iri from 7 to 12 years. In most parts of the Island the harvesting season Is sir months long —from December to June; but In ■ami- y££tl<2Ps the harvest lasts from the first of December to the first of — Oct oh*1 r. The fields are so planted In j the first place that each month of the i grinding sen son produces its own crop of mature cane. Here Is a group of fields where the new crop has just j sprouted; over yonder another group where the cane is half grown; and ) on farther is a group where harvest ing operations are In full swing. How the Crop Is Harvested. In harvesting, the cane-cutters first strip tlie blades from the stalk; then they cut off the upper part of the latter, which is worthless except for replanting, since what juice it con tains possesses very little sugar. One of the strange things about sugar-cane is that the sap of the growing plant has little sugar, while in the mature stalk Hie juice Is rich in sucrose. The action of the sun’s rays seems to j transform glucose1 into sucrose—-a transformation that cannot be accom plished by human means. If man knew how to do that, every cornfield would be a sugar field, Tlie main body of the stalk is cut down and loaded into the ox-carts. In these it is hauled to the field era tlon and placed in the waiting cars. Each ear contains shout twenty tons and each train Is made up of thirty cars. This makes flOO tons of cane to the trainload, and eight to ten tralnlonds n day are required to keep one of the bigger centrals in opera tion for 24 hours. Tlie big United Eruit central at Preston requires the crop from 250 acres every day to keep it busy. Imagine n field three- ■ fifths of a mile square being harvest- j ed between sunup and sundown to j keep one central going! At the mills the cars of cane are ! dumped on an endless belt which car ries It to the crushing rolls. Each set of rolls the cane passes through presses it harder than the one before. The Inst set may exert a pressure of a million pounds, and when the “bagasse.” ns the crushed cane Is j called, issues front them It is almost j ns dry ns tinder. It Is carried by con veyors to the fire-boxes of the hollers, where It Is used as fuel In generating the steam that drives the big mills | and holts the cane juice. The stream i of crushed cane tlows through the j Inst set of rolls at a speed of seven j miles a day. Making the Sugar. After the juice is freed qf sediment It is pumped in the evaporators, where about half of the water is boiled out of it. The next step In the making of sugar Is to draw the thick juice Into the vacuum pans. Here it comes into contact with hot steam colls and bolls at it very low temperature because of the absence of atmospheric pressure. As tlie boiling proceeds, the sugar crystallizes into small grains. The sugar and the adhering sirup are finally removed to a centrifugal machine that acts somewhat on the principle of a cream separator. Placed Inside a perforated basket and whirled around at from 1,000 to 1,44s) revolutions a minute, all of the sirup Is forced out through the per forations, while the crystallized sugar remains behind. This sirup Is boiled again and the process Is repented until all the avail able sweetness has been extracted. The remaining liquor is the "black strap” molasses of commerce. A ton of sugar-cane yields four and one-half gallons of blackstrap mo lasses, and one gets a good Impres sion of the Immensity of the Industry when, on ft single day’s rail journey, he meets a dozen solid trains of some forty big tank cars each, every car full to the dome with blackstrap. After sugar has come from the centrifugals It goes to the bagging room where it is put into hags that hold .‘125 pounds each. These are hauled in tralnlonds to the docks nnd shipped to the United States, where the big refineries remove the Impur ities and transfortn the sugar from fflrt^v yellow to Inf,Maculate white. “France took up arms only In self- j defense, endeavoring at the same time to maintain Justice anil liberty for the world," said M. L'oucheur. "For nearly live years her richest provinces have endured continual martyrdom. And yet by her own means the ruins are reviving, houses arise from the ground, fields ure covered with promis ing crops. The populations of the devastated areas believe that they can rely on the spirit of solidarity of all flume who have measuted the magni tude of their sacrifice and under stood their unquestionable right to the fullest reparations.” For Rent—Furnished rooms strictly modern, stcam heat.
