People of Province
 of Alsace-Lorraine Are
 Not German in Sentiment

The Hague, Netherlands, October l. Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Interesting admissions regarding Alssace Lorraine are made by the Ger man professor Leband. in an article in the Deutsche Revue.
 '"The higher influential and educated native population, says this professor of political law, lis just as foreign as ever after having lived tor 45 years with the German population. With only one or two insigni ican- exceptions, there Is no intimate interco ~rse, except In SC far as this is rendered necessary / urg.l. busf- ness or professional interests.
 Marriages between members of the higher classes of old AlSatlan and LOT raine families and Germans are great ex- captions. Save for few muSical and art institutions. the two elements keep en- tirely apart in respect of their societies and associated life generally. No mutual family or commercial relations are es- tabished. While intercourse Is out wardiy courteous enough, it is marked on the part of Aisace-Lorrainers by ill., concealed dislike. French papers, French novels and periodicals are read in Asace- Lorraine homes and German literature IS avoided"
 In his conclusion, Professor Leband writes:
 AlsdCc-A<oTid1uc TflHbt SoudHn I0iSu1- land Qmperial province), with its consti- tuition of May 3l. 1911. But sharper &C., ton than before must be taken against press extravagances and the abuse of the right of association and of meeting. Ger man must remain the official language. but vexatious interference in private life must be avoided
 Girls schools. particularly the private schools and the sending of girls to for eign boarding schools. must be subjected to sharper supervision. It is with the girls that beginning is made In the Frenchifying and in the nursing of & glowing hatred against everything Ger man.
 The fayoring of the notables must cease. but officials. especially the middle and lower officials, with whom the peo- pie come into direct touch, must not hurt peoples feelings by arrogant and bureau- cratic behavior"

MANY STUDENT OFFICERS NOT ID SEE SERVICE NOW Hundreds of Men Proving Capability in Training to
 Be Disappointed THEY WILL RECEIVE
 NO COMMISSIONS Instead, However, They Will Be Placed on List of Those Eligi-
 ble When the Second
 Draft Is Called

Washington, November 3.-(SpeciaD-Of ttse 5000 in the second series of officers training camps who are not to receive commissions in tho national army be- cause of the surplus of commissioned of hcers many Fort Ogiethorpe students will bs doomed to disappointment AL ready protests are coming to the war de- partment from friends of the students on account of the probability that they will not be commissioned, or at least that only half of the l7.0o0 are to get commits sivue. At first 1t was thought only 5000 or 6D00 would be left without commissions and placed upon the reserve list, but now 1t has developed that aviation section heads hold that the men who have been fin the officers training camps, where they have worked like beavers for two months and more In trench warfare and long hiking duty, are not equipped and trained for the aviation section as de- sired and the only thing that can be done is to place these men on the waiting list until there Is another draft.
 MANY NEW OFFICERS FAIL
 It is known fact that in hurry to commission certain men the war depart nent has given commissions to many who have since been asked to surrender them. It Is also fact well known in army cir cles that hundreds of these already com missioned have had to be transferred to the inactive list because. .ney were found unfit to take charge of a military or ganization in the field. These facts are being confirmed in authoritative reports from various cantonments where 1t IS an open secret that the war department must soon remove more of these favored ones.
 BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT
 It is a bitter disappointment at Fort Oglethorpe to those who have been led to believe that nearly every man DOW in training school would get a commission. The men are earnestly anxious to serve their country. If they were denied com- missions on account of disqualification they say they would not murmur. for that was part of the game. They entered Fort Oglethorpe to prove their ability If they could, and they feel the have done

E BOOSTING JOHNSON
 GRASS FOR ARMY

Jackson. Miss. November 3.-fSpeciai) The department of agriculture of Mis- ssslppi Is doing everything possible to bring Johnson grass hay to the not ce of the quartermaster's department. Several days since dealers in hay at some point in Ohio. who have large government con tracts. wrote Commissioner of Agriculture Garner to know about Johnson grass hay, stating that If II was all rsht and he could get the consent of Colonel GaIia- gher Of the quartermaster' department, Atlanta, he would be able to place per haps 50 carloads.
 Commissioner Garner has communi cated with Colonel Gallagher, giving him indisputable facts as to the superiority of Johnson grass over timothy. These have been analysed at the Agricultural and Mechanical college by pr. Lloyd. an authority on all such matters, and he gives the Mississippi hay much better grading on account of richness in pr1- teins and other fat producing qualities. pr. Lloyd states that he has made peated tests in feeding the two nays and finds the Johnson grass 2 per cent more desirable.
