THE SEMI.WEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. GERMANS AGAIN APPEAR IN PARIS Mysteriously Reopen Cafes and Stores Owing to Laxity of Government. MANY STAYED DURING WAR Remained In Old Haunts Without Molestation From Police Many Drift In Through Swiss Fron tier 8lnce Armistice. By BURR PRICE. In tho New York Horitlcl. Paris. Mysteriously, steadily, bra zenly In deilnnco of n Inw of the land, the Germans are reappearing In Paris. They are living without dis guise in the cnpltalstlll technically an nrmcd camp of war. In greater num ber, In bolder manner, they are living In the. outlying districts, Just beyond the fortifications. They are resuming the proprietor ship of small cafes hs by magic they are popping up with smiles behind the little zinc bars from which they disap peared so precipitately In 1014. Whence came they? Have they been hiding In their own wine cellars throughout the last four years? - They nre renewing the direction of small restaurants, where sauerkraut once was tho "speclallte do la malson" go Into the kitchens now and thero you will find tho perspiring Teutons. Have they been hiding behind their stoves during the war? Re-Enaaglna In Trade. They are reopening corner grocery stores only that's not tho name for them In France and little businesses of nil sorts.' They are now freely en gaging In tho supply trade It has been found that throughout the long hostilities many Germans who had suc ceeded In remaining In French . terri tory bnd piled their business of fur nishing war material to the army. Scorn for such traitorous swluo who would sell death-producing stuff for use agnlnst their own countrymen Is minimized by astonishment at the laxity of the French government In permitting them such n practice. For tho last few weeks Paris city ofllclals hnve been investigating the presence of so many Germans, and It lias been found that while a few have been In their old haunts without mo lcstntlon from the police' during the war period tho grenter number have been drifting in through the .Swiss frontier since the signing of tho armistice. At present the hands of the police nre completely tied by tho fact that 00 per cent of tho Germans who re mained or have been drifting back are naturalized as Frenchmen, and tho chamber, with characteristic procras tination, keeps putting off passngo of the proper measures to tako this nat uralization from tho Germans and per mit tho police to oust them.

WILL REBUILD REIMS Cost of Reconstruction Estimat ed at Billion Dollars. Twenty Projects for the Work Are Submitted by Leading Architects. Reims, France. Tho total cost for tho reconstruction of Helms, according to estimates Just completed, is placed nt 5,000,000,000 francs, or Sl.OOO.OOO, 000. This is tho figure of tho Indemnity which tho Germans imposed on Franco at tho end of the Franco-Prussian war, nnd which they then considered sulll ciohtly lnrge to ruin France, commer cially and Industrially, for , years to come. In spltb of this terrific cost, due In part to the increased cost of hulldlug materials resulting from the war. Helms is losing no time rising from it An Illuminating article was pub lished In La Llherte the other eve ning signed by II. Galll. "One wonders at finding in the midst of tho entrenched ennip of Pari so many enemy subjects," ho says. "There has never been at any time so many foreigners In Paris. I do not mean vis itors here temporarily, but people stopping permanently, doing business, exploiting enterprises and nil too often taking the Jobs of mobilized French men. Nothing has been done to keep these undesirable citizens out. "In December, 301-1, Mr. Laurent, who was then prefect of police, stated that 150,000 aliens were settled In the capital. Today, according to the of ficial figures, there aro 171,000. The great majority stay hero without au thorization. The special commission named to Investigate foreigners and Issue permits for residence has been tillable to pass upon more than .'18,000 cases. Three thousand permissions were granted and the same number of refusals were made. Stayed in Spite of All. "Those who did not get thV proper permits succeeded In staying anyway, LEADS IN WORK FOR DISABLED In Its provisions for returning dis abled soldiers to profitable employ ment, tho United States government leads the world. This fact was brought out at the International Conference on Rehabilitation held In this city recent ly. It wns shown that, with the ex ception of Canada, Ihc United States was the only government that had tak en olllclal cogn!zancef the nation's supremo duty to rehabilitate Its sol diers Incapacitated through wounds or Illness from pursuing their former means of livelihood. In nn Interview, Dr. Charles A. Pros ser, director of the federal board of vocational education, charged with the work of retraining the men from the hospitals told of the scope of Amer ica's plans of rehabilitation. "When we took our boys from their civil Jobs and put them Into the army to risk their lives for an Ideal, the gov ernment promised three things to Its wounded soldiers. First, the promlso of physical care was made; then, the promise of compensation for Injury; and lastly, those who came back crip pled were pledged tho tuition's honor thnt they would bo retrained, re-educated to assume a responsible place In the economic life of tho country. Best Surgeons Engaged. "For our first promise, we got tho best surgeons possible- and shipped them to Franco or Installed them In this country in up-to-date hospitals, with oil tho appliances that science could suggest for making well ngnln the sick and tho wounded. Men and TO HIS BEST GIRL ruins. For tho reconstruction of tho city 20 complete plnns hnve been sulr mltted by leading architects of Paris, Helms and other French cities. No ono plan will bo adopted, but the city will pick out of each tho features thnt seem tho most doslmblo and arrive at a final plan which will bo approved by the city council. Among the details already decided upon aro big, broad streets for the principal arterlus; worklngmen'n quar ters, with gardens, and three series of boulevards, like thoso of Paris and Brussels, forming complete circles, there being otiu Inner clrclo of boule vards, tlnjn a middle circle and finally an outer circle. It .also has been decided thnt the buildings encircling the cathedral, nearly all of which are now In a com plete state of demolition, will bo cleared out entirely in order that tho cathedral may , occupy a vast open, square where all or lis. beauty may Ivo seen from. any point. .i spi'' ii It measures taken tJ pet them out of the country. This they accom plished by disappearing for a short time and returning to the same ad dress, or changing their residence and falling to register. About ono hun dred who practiced these deceptions Were caught and sent to concentration camps and another hundred were es corted to the frontiers. "The most undesirable often nvolded detection and Investigation. What risk did they run? None at all." These figures on tho number of for eigners living In Pnrls during the war and the number of them ofllclnlly ap proved will be Interesting for Ameri cans who hnvo been through tho or deal of petting matriculation papers permits to live temporarily, permits' to live permanently, certificates of domicile and other little scraps of pa per. , It strikes me that the French police were a bit overzealous in cata loguing good, honest Americans people from home, I know, were most scrupulous In nppearlng before the, proper authorities while thousands of real undesirables were roaming around lintlckcted, unmolested. At the time the IJertha was firing there was much speculation on wheth or or not the Germans got quick indi cation of the accuracy of their aim, and It doesn't seem nt all lmprobnhle. that with such a large number of their Jtrother Germans here they had a good working Information bureau. women, experts, devoted their whole time to the problem of taking care of tho unfortunate soldiers who found their way Into the hospitals. "For the second promise, we have the bureau of compensation and the, bureau of war risk insurance, which tnkes cans that a disabled man shall receive a pension, and In addition shall receive Insurance according to the size of the policy he took out. It remnlns,, now thnt the war Is over, to make good our third pledge of occupational re habilitation. "In this mntter, the United States, found herself In a little better posl-t Hon thru) did the governments of our allies. While they wero busy with war, private concerns took up the question of rehabilitation and are in general In charge of the problem over, there right now. On the other hnnd.i In America, thero was already organ ized and in operation a board which, had been doing the same work for civilians that the government now wnnts done for soldiers. I refer to the federnl board of vocational education., "In June, 1018, by the vocational re-i habllltatlon act, congress turned over to this board the entire task of re-educating lyid placing In employment the discharged soldiers, snllors and ma rines who have been so disabled. Schools Found Ready. "We looked about us, first of all, for facilities where this mntter of edu cation might be settled. Did we build schools? We did not. We found thnt in the United States there were $!!00, 000,000 worth of school facilities, and that thero was -not a principal nor an Instructor In any school who was not eager to takr up his sharo of re-educating a jllsabled soldier. In addition, shops and factories, otllces and farms, all over the country offered us their facilities without stint. "As soon ns the man lands In a de barkation hospltnl over here wo hnve ogents who go to him and put the proposition before him clearly, lie la shown that ho must not be down hearted, that he has the backing of 100.000,000 people, and that on his shoulders alone rests the responsibility for making his life a success or a fail ure, lie Is advised, of course, wherev er It Is possible, to go back Into his old line of work, and where that Is not possible, he Is asked where his pref erences lie. He Is educated according to his own desires." Doctor Pressor gave figures showing the size of the task which the federal board has before it In this matter. It Is estimated that about 200,000 men will need the retraining. Of tills num ber half have been crippled by wounds and half disabled through Illness. What Show? New York.

AID FOR WAR RISK BOARD President Wilson Makes Allotment for Expenses From Emergency Fund. Washington. Financial stringency of the war risk Insurnnce bureau was relieved by a message from President Wilson to Secretary Glass saying that, the president liad made an allotment from his emergency war fund to pay expenses, of tho bureau until congress appropriates at the next session. Tho nmouijt allotted was not specified. Treasury officials, have estimated n little more than ?!1.000,000 will ho needed to pay the bureau's expenses until tho middle of May, when con gross may bo called- In speelnl session. This action of the president means that thero Is no Immedlnte danger, of allotment nnd allowance checks or re mittances for Insurnnce of compunn tlon being held up by a forced reCue tlon of elerlcnl help within tho bureau.
