PREMIER BRAND
SEES NEW FRANCE
Declares European war
Has Restored Nations
Prestige

Paris oct. 1.-THE greatest thing
France has accomplished in the war Is
tl,e reqaininc OF its individuality as
n nation. the reconquering Of its IN.
Auonce and prestige, On the opinion OF
Premier BRAND.
out OF the great struggle, the Prem,
Ter holds. chiefly because OF TINS moral
victory already won, France will emerge
nowerful and unehsllenged, with iree
existence. prosperity and social retor,,
nation. The remolding Of political
methods. the concentration OF govern
ment. will be the direct result OF the
war.
Premier BRAND gave expression TO
these thoughts in conversation re-
capitulsted to-day in lie Figaro Dy
Alfred Capus, the dramatist. Inc
Premier Is quoted as saying:
81 do not pretend TO do more than
sketch the main outline. As the result
of lessons which it cannot escape.
bslieve our country will resume M
stinctively the notion Of direct council
and AUTHORITY. There will be this dr.
ference, that while under past regime
this authority was imposed upon IL
historically and by custom, to-day 1t Is
the country itself which demands 1t
from It's elected representatives, as wei!
as more firm and concentrated direc-
ton of its business.
"You understand, am not speaking
for myself. am thinking OF the neHt
group OF politicians who will be IN
power. They are bound TO come on the
scene with fresh outlook and, less
bound by opinions and doctrines, VIII
submit themselves more easily to eX-
perience.
"Our present political methods are
not at all damaged by the war. They
simply require 10 be revised, remolded
and readapted. am convinced, for eX-
ample. that .he spirit born OF the war
.5 about TO clash with the spirit of
1arochialism and that il will break II:
Thcrc will be substituted the notion OF
public welfare. which has been lost in
what one might call the pulverization
Of efforts. What will be wanted will
DC the concentration OF effort in the
general interest.
ain my opinion, the need Of to-mor-
row is 10 concentrate instead of dis
perse, and YOU cannot imagine with
what goodwill universal suffrage will
accept these principles. believe It is
ready 10 do so now. The war has put
IL in a state o. receptivity, and IL re-
mains only TO speak to IL clearly and
frankly and TO awaken 1t to a resliza-
ton Of its own condition"

BRITISH STOP
U. 5. TOBACCO
Heavy Loss Likely on
Big Shipments to
Neutrals

London. Oct. 17.-Large consign-
ments o. tobacco from the United States
for Dutch and Scandinavian ports are
being held here on the charge that they
fail 20 comply with the recent arrange
ment under which cargoes paid COR be-
fore August ! and shipped before Au-
gust 30 might proceed to neutral des-
tinatiors.
Many American tobacco shippers who
have their own representatives IN Eu-
rope shipped to them under tie I'M
preston that the new order would per
nit this. The government contends
that proof must be furnished that the
cargoes were paid Tor before August 4
By the actual European buyers.
Washington. Oct. 7.-Detention Of
American tobacco is expected here 10
cause heavy losses unless modifica-
ton Of the British ruling can be OBJ
tanned. The State Department already
has made informal representations. and
officials said tonight they hoped TO
clear up the situation to the sa.isfac-
ton Of American interests.
Besides the consignmcrts held IN
London, American tobacco valued at
more than Sl,500,000 is detained at
Danish ports.
The action by British officials was
as much a surprise 10 officials here as
il was 10 the American shippers. In
her previous agreements for passage
OF shipments through the blockade
lines, it is declared Britain never at
tempted 20 apply the doctrine OF ulti-
mate sale. The understanding here
was that only bona fde sale TO Euro
pean wholesalers would be required In
the case of tobacco consisnments.
The regulation which stopped Ameri-
can tobacco shipments was issued on
July 10. 1t prohibited the importation
OF tobacco to Germany or to German
dealers in countries contiguous to Ger
many. A serious disruption 70 the
American tobacco industry resulted,
and the State Department, finally Sc
cured an agreement under which all
tobacco bought and paid for before
August 4 and shipped before August so
was to be admitted 10 Denmark and
other neutral European countries. A
large quantity OF American tobacco
at once was released. Most of it had
reached European ports, when 1t devel-
oped that Great Britain interpreted the
agreement 70 apply. not to transactions
in this country, but 70 final transac
tons in Europe.

SWISS MUNITIONS BAN

Plants Using German Supplies
Must Not Aid Entente

Geneva, Oct. 1.-THE Swiss govern
ment, in consequence of the recent
economic arrangement with Germany,
has prohibited Swiss factories TO e1'
port ammunition TO the Entente Allies
II they are using German coal or steel.
This order will render idle over $4,000
men, among whom there is much dis
content.
The proprietors Of the factories met
too day and protested against the order,
arguing that Switzerland received Bel
gisn and not German coal and that
the Entente Allies supply raw material
for their ammunition.
