RIBOT DEMANDS
LOST PROVINCES
Says France will Not Even
Permit Diplomatic Discussion
Of the Subject.

PARIS. Sept. s.--France will not com
promise on the question of the re-
covery of Alsace and Lorraine, Pre-
mier Ribot emphatically asserted to-day
in an address delivered in connection
with the celebration Of the anniversary
OF the battle of the Marine. He said
France would not consent to diplomatic
discussion as to whether the provinces
should be restored.
= The Premier paid tribute to the SOL
diers who fell on the Marne. a sacrifice
for the salvation of the nation. and to
the General who led the armies OF
France to victory. He then referred &c
the aims Of France in the war.
France makes pretensions only for
the recovery OF its own. to regain pos
session of its provinces wrenched from
it by the odious abuse of force" he said
Let no one ask France to compromise
upon that question. The nation could
not do IL without betraying the cause OF
justice. What a preface would be given
to the peace which IT is sought to found
upon the rights of peoples II the injus-
tice consummated half a century age
should be consecrated anew
THE restoration of Alsace and Lorraine
Is not one of those questions that mas
be given over to discussion by diplomats
1t Is the very condition of the establish
ment Of the rights of nations whlcf
ought to guarantee peace in the future
against fresh violence"
The Premier added that France in de-
mandinG reparaIion for devastation
which it had been made deliberately to
suffer would still be within the role OF
champion of justice.
France does not ask that the ag
gressor be fined" he said. but only that

Central Powers have decided to carry
out the partition Of Poland. Germany

NO u. S. MEAT PRICE FIXING;

to-day told the national i've stock con-
ference. Not only would 1t be mad
visable to institute price fixing In these
industries. he asserted, but the Food Ad-
ministration has been given no such
power.
As long as there Is a heavy demand
for meat with decreased production,
Mr.. Hoover said, meat prices will con-
tinue to soar. The hope of the Food Ad-
ministration Is that It can stabilize quo
tatlons and thus eliminate speculation.
Il cannot believe there is panacca
for a situation OF this kind" said Mr..
Hoover. Our problem Is to increase
production. The best we may expect is
a slow development toward the ends we
seek. Drastic control OF packing plants
with Government operation as an alter
native will not work. We can administer
food control only through the coopera-
tton Of all interests concerned.
High Prices for Years.
There is no power in the food bill to
fix prices and we never have asked that
power. Everywhere in Europe price FIX
ing-that Is. the naming OF maximum
prices-has failed. We had the fixing OF
wheat prices thrust upon us. as 1t is
our duty to purchase 80 per cent. OF the
crop for export, and we had the wheat
committee name a price as a guarantee
to producers and to stop speculation.
THE meat situation is such that a
high price to producers is guaranteed

Special Gable Despatch to Tnr scs.
LONDON. Sept. 6.-The most intense
aerial activity that has been seen at
any time since the war began Is In
progress on both sides on the western
front. 1t is taken here to mean a
possible approach Of the turning point
in strategy. While trench warfare
continues in some areas, both the Brit
ish and French STATS say It's days as a
numbered.
Two years ago the leaders Of both
armies were specializing how TO get
the armies safely out of the trenches
Apparently the problem has been solved
by the slow development Of events in
stead OF by the supreme genius of any
Napuleonic commander.
Under the present system there is no
longer any sharp line of demarcation
between the opposing forces. Instead
promiscuous way over wide belt Of
country. Shell holes, fortified con-
cealed posts and concrete pill boxes"
are taking the place Of trenches.
Letters from soldiers at the front
declare the new warfare is much more
horrible than when trenches were used
The minor positions. shell holes and
cement blockhouses are scattered about
in such a mixed and confused manner
that II is impossible even for those
officers who have been long familiar
with the ground to be certain whether
a given shell hole is occupied by friends
o. enemies A mistake Is usually fatal
for when the enemys machine guns open
fire the destruction of the laundering
party follows quickly.
While the shell holes have been con-
verted into permanent ponds of bottom
less mud the ground between them has
dried and become fine dust. almost as
difficult as mud when an attempt is
made to move artillery. The soldiers.
confronted by this condition. are striving
desperately on both sides for the mas
terry OF the air. each desiring to mo.
nopolixe the privilege OF observing the
enemy.
The Germans have demonstrated that
they have many more arplanes than
was supposed. permitting them to con-
| duct constant raids on England and
simultaneously to maintain contests
along the whole battle line. The British
and French STATS are pleased with the
development OF the new warfare. al
though 1t has temporarily checked the
Allies advance. They are confident that
they will be able to stop the air raids in
time. An immense American Contribu-
tion Of airplanes is expected ard an
early increase in the British production.
The new type of warfare is regarded
as especially favorable TO the Allies be-
cause ii gives wider play to the individ-
uallty and initiative OF the soldiers and
minor officers. In which the English,
French and Americans are much superior
to the Germans.
The Allies are confident also that they
will have soon an overwhelming superb

7 ,ONDON, Sept. 6.--1t is rumor-
ed in Russian circles that Gen.
Korniloff, Commander in Chief
of the Russian armies, will soon
become dictator. His position has
been greatly strengthened by re-
cent demonstrations of the devot-
ed loyalty of the Cossacks, who
number about 100000 troops, the
equal of any in the world, per-
fectly equipped and capable of
the most effective employment in
restoring discipline and enforcing
the reorganization of the army
whenever korniloff gives the
word.
The loyalty of the Cossacks to
Gen. korniloff has been repeated
ly demonstrated. His absolute
control of this finely organized
body of troops makes him over
tower everybody in Russia and
causes many to believe that his
dictatorship would be able to re-
sist intrigues both within from
the Radicals and without from
the Germans.
