. l ' HIS pictorial map does not by any means cover every city, town and village of France laid waste by the war. It gives the mose noted comm unities changed from smiling pros
perous dwelling places to charred and ghastly d(:bris. France is proud. Despite the enormous burden she hears she will not ask the world for help.- BUT she will gladly re

f{)r some years been a student of thel
oil-bearing shales as Nevada. His |
imprisonment did not stay the activi
ty of his genius in sccking an eco
nomical way to make the shale yvield a
large profit in oil and by-products.
A mogel prisoner, with a most |
pleasing personality, together with a
belief on the part of many that he
had been more of a tool than a prin
cipal in the frauds, zained him the
willing ear of the prison authorities
when he pleaded to e allowed to con

far into the night in his cell on his

Knocking to smithereens the old

So confident was (‘rane that he had
solved his problem and that it was a
far cheaper and more efficient plan
than the generally used Scotch pro
cess, that the warden gave him per
mission to write to Sccretary Baker,
of the War Department, about his in

In his Baker letter Crane claimed
his new process would cause the rock

Plenty of Vessels by This Time
l Without Commission, Says
| President of Railroad.
PORTLAND, OREG., Jan. 26.~—“1f
we hadn’t had any Shipping Board
we would now have plenty of new
Ishms," said a” railroad president at
a recent luncheon here of the Cham
ber of Commerce. Casually, but with
remarkable precision, he hit the nail
squarcly on the head.
_’l'hc' members of the original Ship
ping Board, with a, single exeception,
8 mere cipher 'in the board, knew
j nothing of ships when appeinted to
their positions. By this time, as the
Irishman would say, they probably
know less.
For nearly a year the Shipping
Board held back the construction of
merchant ships. Before Mr. Hurley
took charge the situation was deplor
able.
Millions of dollars of private Am
erican capital had been invested in
shipbuilding by men eager to build
ships either for themselves or for the
Government., In many cases these
shipyards, with their costly “organ
ization,” meaning managers, assist
|:||‘.( managers, superintendent and
assistant superintendents, foremen
and the like; shipways, shops of all
kinds, offices ands clerical forces,

missicn to take orders.
l Permission Denied.
They wanted to build ships for
| private American or foreign account,
! But to be able to do this they had to
receive the approval of the Shipping
Board, and thig permission was de
| mied the huild%!. And so their
plants were “eating their heads off”
although the nstion never needed
ships so badly as now.
With a large force of highly skill
ed managers, superintendents, fore
| men and workmen, weekly payrolls
become a nightmare, It is nothing
lmu(:h, in these dyas, for monthly
Ip'uymlls in shipyards to run from a
quarter of a million to half a million
of dollars. When, for some techni
}('ality. as was often the case, build
|nrs' payments were held up, the
“financing” of the shipyards during
the enforced_delay pecame a very
grave problem for the builders and
local bankers. The banks are, in
‘mns! cases, “carrying” these ship
yards, and in some cases the banks
care weary of their loads.

Greek Statesman Denounces Con

at Behest of Kaiser.
By WILLIAM COLLY.
LONDON, Jan. 26.—M. Venizelos re
ceived me in the room of his hotel
overlooking the Green Park,
Today he is aged; his hair is white;
there is a greater and heavier re
sponsibility on his shoulders; he has
passed through a veritable furnace
of events, but is still the same kind

difficult to conceive hatred in M, Ven

He spoke French as we sat alone
in his room after breakfast. We had

his master, the IKKaiser, was broached,
Position of Greece.
His eyes assumed a gteely hue. His
i lips were taut, His indignation with

at his double dealing, open lying and

“Take the position of Greece on the

Kaiser’'s Representative.
Here M. Venizelos hesitated as if
gathering his thoughts, for he had
spoken with passion, He proceeded:
1. “But the King, Who throughout was
ibut the Kaiser's representative, had
assured the German Emperor that

e dismissed me. *He enunciated the
theory that when nationak matters
were at issue the sovereign, was not
bound by the will of the people,
“He was a reflection, a mere em
-Issary: of the Kaiser. To him the
Cgnstitution of the kingdom was
what the Belgian treaty was to his
master, the Kaiser—a scrap of pa
pec,
“He was not merely Germanophile;
he was and is purely German. By
his action he dragged (ireece to in
famy and disaster, and opened the
floodgatesof Macedonia to theßulga
rian army.
“Congtantine was the catspaw. To
gether he and the Kaiser designed to
paralyze any power that Greece had
to leave her useless as a fighting fac
tor if the conditions which have su
pervened should occur. Greece and
her people can never forget nor for
give this dual and designed infamy.”
Can Help Allies.
The face of the Greek Premier as
sumed a pleased and hopeful aspect
as he told me how Greece can now
help her Aliles. He said: /
“Greece will yet put in all her
weight on the Entente =ide. 1 have
already been able to reorganize the
whole Greek army. When 1 left
Greece we had 60,000 men, or three
divisions, actually at the front. We
‘have thrown all our resources into
the scale, and we shall yet have
‘many more fighting men of that fine
caliber which did so much in the
last Balkan war, -
“Grece is now open-heartedly will
ing, and anxious, to take her part
with Italy and France, and to share
their privations.
“General Sarrall has paid tribute to
the Greek divisions, whieh will stead

Our army will yet make itself felt.
It is well officered. Ineflicient com

“The Greek mercantile marine and
the fine harbors of Greece will be
thrown into the scale to aid the En

Allies that we look temporarily for
quick and efficient help toward the

is the definite object of my present
mission.

inter-Allied Control.
I could not forbear discussing Mr.
YJoyvd George's proposal for unity of
control and a supreme war council,
M. Venizelos approached the subjeet
with caution. He said:

to interfere in domestic questions,

had a fresh raw eggs for his breakfast
every morning, It came about in this
way:
Three years ago last lprini his car

Newhall investigated and found a nest
hidden under a tree; there was a fresh
laid egg in it; the hen ran away as soon
a 8 the motorman came in sight, New
hall, who is fond of fresh eggs, immedi
ately sucked the egg, and in these days
of high prices it tasted good.
The next morning he put a few grains
of corn in his pocket when he started
out for his run. There was a fresh laid
cgg in the nest for him, and in exchange
he left the corn.
Fivery morning since then all through
her laving season for the past three
yvears that hen has laid an egg for Mo~

corn on the nest. %
Just now the hen is mnultinfi. but
Newhall says she will begin aying
again soon and he'll have a fresh egg
for breakfast again.
