FRANCE DEMANDS
RETURN OF ALSACE
WILL NOT EVEN SUBMIT SUB
JEcT OF COMPROMISE TO DIP
LoMATlC DISCUSSION.
EXPECTS FULL PREPARATION

Paris.-France will not compromise
on the question OF recovery of Alsace
and Lorraine, Premier Ribot declared,
in an address delivered in connection
with the celebration of the anniver-
sary Of the battle Of the Marne. He
said France would not consent to
diplomatic discussion as to whether
the provinces should be restored.
The premier paid tribute to the
soldiers who fell on the Marne and to
the general who led Frances armies
to victory.
France makes pretensions only for
the recovery OF its own-to regain pos
session of its provinces, wrenched
from 1t by the odious abuse Of force"
he said Let no one ask France to
compromise upon that question. The
nation could not do it without betray-
ing the cause of Justice. What a
preface would be given to the peace
which It is sought to found upon the
rigl of peoples If the injustice con-
summated half century ago should
be consecrated anew.
"France does not ask that the agres-
sor be fined" he said, "but only that
the aggressor be obliged to repair the
damage he has done"

not to go on indefinitely.

JOHN BARLEYCORN
GOES IN DISCARD.
PURE FOOD LAW PUTS END TO
MANUFACTURE AND lMPoR-
TATION OF WHiSkEY.


Washington,-All manufacture OF
whiskey has ceased in the United
States under the provisions OF the
food control law and the millions OF
bushels Of grain heretofore used in
making that form Of drink will be d.
verted to food. Importation OF whis
key was also stopped.
Just how much grain will be added
to the food supplies as n result Is not
determnable, but experts say about
l00000,000 bushels are used by the
distilleries each year, OF which about
4O000,000 bushels are used In whiskey
manufacture.
Customs officials throughout the
country will seize all importations of
spirituous liquors reaching the United
States, Officers OF the internal rev.
enue bureau throughout the country
will see that distilleries make no more
whiskey.
Distilleries may continue manufact.
uIluR dituHol lOl tOHllucItldl puTpOSoS
and many of them have arranged for
this work, others turning their distil.
leries into manufacturing plants for
yeast, vinegar and by products.
Stocks of whiskey in the country
undoubtedly are larger than they ever
have been because Of active prepara.
tion by distilers and dealers In antici-
patton OF the law. Distillers have
been working at utmost capacity and
imports have been larger than ever.
Officials estimate the quantity Of whis-
key in bond in warehouses to be about
190,00O000 gallons Stocks not in
bond will bring the quantity on hand
in the country up to about 230, ,O00, 900
gallons. The annual production Of
whiskey has been about 116,000, 900
gallons.
