Prisoners Interned Since Rebellion tc
Return Home.

LONDON, Dec. 22-The government
has decided to release the Irish pris-
oners, who were interned after the re-
bellion in Ireland. Henry f. Duke, chief
secretary for Ireland, announced in the
house of commons yesterday: "The
time has come when the advantages of
releasing these men far outweigh the
risk, and / have so advised the gov
eminent. Steps therefore were taken
today to proceed, with the least posi-
bic delay, to return the interned pris-
oners to their homes
According to the statement of the
secretary for home affairs in the house
of commons last October, there are
SO lrishmen interned i'll connection
with the recent rebellion.

ed q method OF increasing the yield
of wheat in so startling manner
that no one believed he was telling
the truth. The Russian declared
that It was possible TO get seventy
pounds OF grain from one seed. and
TO make an acre carry forty-five
tons
That does sound like miracle.

farmer has The patience to try it.,

July, and It IS continuing undimin-
ished.
Even IL continued at that weekly
rate up to the end of the year, this
would amount to only one-third OF
the gold supposed to be in the pri-
vate banks of France, and apparent
~ ready for the government in case
of proved need. Again, with all the
loss from seven manufacturing de-
partments occupied by the enemy.
Frech industry is still turning out
20 per cent of it's normal production.
The agriculture of the territory not
held by the enemy Is alone nearly
equal to the task fulfilled by French
agriculture for many years OF peace
to satisfy native consumption.
And | have not mentioned one
part of the revenue of France during
the last years OF peace-a revenue
which crtainly can not be greatly
diminished as soon as peace is de-
clared again This is the revenue
from foreign travellers and from
purchases they make-estimated at
100000. 000 a year. and paid in

The Beautiful Land of Alsaoe.

There were several reasons why /
welcomed the opportunity offered me
by the French general staff to see
the fighting in Alsace. says +. Al
cxander Powell, IN Scribner's In
the first place, a veil OF secrecy had
been thrown over the operations IN
that region, and the mysterious h
always alluring. Secondly, most of
the fighting that ! have seen has
been either IL flat or only moderate
Ily hfly countries. and l was curious
TO sec how warfare is conducted in
la region as mountainous and as
heavily forested as the Adriondacks
or Oregon. Again, the Alsace sec
tor is at the extreme southern end
lof that great battle line. close on
1000 miles long. which stretches its
Iuniovely length across Europe from
1.-THE North sea TO the Alps like some
lmonstrous aud deadly snake, And
lastly, ! wanted 70 see the retaking
Of that narrow strip or territory ~
ling between the summit of the Vos-
ges and the Rhine which. for four
t8nd-forty years. has been mournei
by France as one OF her lost prov
linces."
This land OF Alsace is, in many re-
lspects. the most beautiful that
I have ever seen. Strung along the
horizon, like senunels wrapped in
mautels OF green, the peaks OF the
/ Vosgos loom against the sky. On the
slopes of the ridges, massed in their
black battalions. stand forests OF
ispruce and pine Through peaceful
valleys silver streams meander le.s-
Iureiy. and in the meadows which

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The Russian government fatty
rejected the German peace offer made
last week. Great Britain, through
her new Iremier, Lloyd George,
assumed the same attitude Dec. 10,
saying the Teutons must fl.st agree
to restitution, reparatlon and effec-
tual guarantees. France is nut dis.
posed to consider the conditions
which Germany has proposed as basis
for peace conference.
On Dec. 20, President Wilson sent
notes asking the belligerent nations
to discuss terms of peace.
