TELLS ALLIANCE FRANCHISE
OF TROUBLES OF ALSACE|

Memories of the war of 1870 were
recalled by Professor Felix WE'LL, of
New York, last night in his talk be-
fore the Alliance Franchise. Alsace
was the subject, and the speaker
said:
1.-THE question of Alsace is one of
the most delicate of the present time
will give the opinions of some great
writer's who have set forth the ma
terial and moral difficulties, the
poignant dramas, which agitate and
often trouble the Alsatian families.
Rene Razin in Les Oberle' is of
the opinion that the Alsatian need
not serve Germany. He ought to
serve France at any cost. Maurice
Barres, on the contrary, does not like
to see the Alsatian desert. He should
remain in Alsace. keep up the tradi-
ton, the Alsatian spirit, the French
civilization, and to maintain them is
now the tendency in Alsace, where
the love, by its inhabitants, Of the
country grows stronger and stronger.
I'm Les Exiles, by Paul Acker, the
pfflCiPdi iuSd 10 that oil AiSatidh,
since the war, is in exile no matter
where he may live. If living in
France he is exiled from his little
home country, and if living in AL
SAGE, he is exiled from his mother
country.
ANDRE Lichtenberger studies the
Alsatian question in regard to the pa
cific theory of disarmament. He
comes to the conclusion that an Al
satan has no right to strive for uni
versal peace"

HEARS BY CHANCE THAT
HIS FATHER is DEAD

Through an old school companion
Jacob Constam. of the Constam
Audit Company learned today for the
first time of the death of his father,
in Munich, Germany, last month. Mr.
Constam was called on the telephone
early today, and William Heidle, a
former schoolmate, of South Seventh
street, asked him how his father
spelled his name. 'K-o-n-s-t-a-m,"
he replied.
Then he told Mr.. Constam of a
death notice OF Adolph Konstamn
which appeared in German paper he
had just received. The auditor hur-
ried over to Mr.. Heidle's home and
found that the notice told the story
of his fathers death. Later he went
to the postoff1ce and found several
letters addressed to him as Jacob
Konstamn. They had been sent to
him from Munich by his fathers
friends. who were not accustomed to
the Americanized spelling of the
name Mr.. Konstamn was 70 years
old, He formerly lived with his son,
Jacob. on Hunterdon street About
three years ago he went back to the
fatherland for his health. He died
suddenly of apoplexy January Is, the
letters state, and left no will.

SAYS INTERESTS"
BAR STATE WATER
Commission Reports Corporate
Efforts Retard 400, 900, 0Oo-
caIIon-a-Day Appraisal.
From a stan corre.pondent.I


TRENTON, n. j., Feb. S,-The
State Water Supply Commission to-
day submitted its sixth annual re-
port to Governor Wilson. The re-
port in the main is a resume of the
work done by the commission during
the past year.
In the report 1t is stated that the
past year has witnessed the most
rapid progress yet recorded in the
solution Of the problem presented 10
the State of developing it's unappro-
priated watersheds for the benefit of
all the people. In both the northern
and southern portions of New Jersey
plans have been worked out by the
commission looking to the early re-
quirement of water supplies sufficient
to meet the present and prospective
needs of the entire population.
The report goes on to say that one
of the tangible results of the past
year has been a formal agreement to
buy the Wharton tract of 10000
acres in South Jersey. This Wharton
tract embraces a watershed capable
of storing water that would provide
daily supply of 400,000,000 gallons,
which the commission says would be
sufficient for all time for the needs of
the entire section of the State lying
south of the Rarltan river.
The commission then goes on to tell
of the plans that are being carried
out for the appraisal of the physical
property of the East Jersey Water
Company in the northern section of
the State with a view to its possible
requirement at a reasonable price by
the State.
The report tells of dilatory tactics
on the part of corporate interests not
in sympathy with the States plan of
conservation, which has somewhat
retarded the work of appraisal.
A recommendation is made that the
powers of the commission be ampli-
fled so as to warrant the commission
in compelling the production Of books
and other data for the purpose of
making an appraisal to determine the
ACCESSIBILITY of condemnation pro-
ceedings. A bill along these lines
eminating from the commission was
introduced in the Senate last week
by Senator Sloeum.
The commission tells of the APP
praisal now going on of the East Jer-
sey Company's plant at Little Falls,
and states that, should it transpire
that the Little Falls plant cannot be
secured at a price deemed to be fair,
based upon the result of the APP
