\ special received at Brussels from

LONDON, September 29-Dr Gueist
who has recently made a tour of in

with helpless women and children,
coming in to beg for bread. The fields
are left untitled, and villages are swept
clean of food by the armies. His pic

missioners and exempted, for the pres
ent, from all federal burdens.

ever they are taken.
Another party demands that Metz
and Strasburg be dismantled merely
and that France indemnify Germany
for the costs Of the war.
The third party limits the territorial
demand to Alsace and the narrow strip
of Lorraine, in the east where the Ger
man the language is still prevailing
