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 Marine, 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 Marine and to
the general who led Frances armies
to victory.
Trance 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 1t without betray-
ing the cause of justice. What a
preface would be given to the peace
which it is sought to found upon the
rights of peoples if the injustice con-
summated half century ago should
be consecrated anew.
France does not ask that the agrees
sor be fined" he said, "but only that
the aggressor be obliged to repair the
damage he has DONE"

HOUSE NAMES PROBE BOARD
viii Investigate Shipment Of Defee
tive Ammunition To Troops
In France.

Washington.-The house of repre-.
sentatives went into high gear on its
way to thorough and final probing
of the defective ordnance scandal at
Frankford arsenal. Speaker Clark
put a climax on It's action by appoint
ing committee Of nine representa-.
tives to conduct the investigation. The
committee includes: Dent of Alabama,
chairman; Fields of kentucky, Quinn
Of Mississippi; Gordon of Ohio and
Shallenberger Of Nebraska, the FIVE
ranking Democrats, and Anthony Of
Kansas, Mckenzie of Illinois, Green
of Vermont and NORM Of Pennsylva-
mia, four Of the ranking republicans
all from the house committee on mil
itary affairs. Representative Kahn Of
California was slated for place on
the committee, being the ranking re-
publican on the military affairs COM
mittee, but begged to be excused, as
he is leaving Washington for a
months rest.
The committee was named after the
house committee on rules had favor
ably reported on the resolution de-
manding probe.
That the house probe will be much
more thorough than that conducted
by the senate committee on military
affairs was the declaration of house
leaders.

PEEvED AT WILSON; QUITS
to Devote Time to Cause of
Suffrage.

Washington. Field Malone,
customs collector at New York, ten
dered his resignation to President
Wilson in protest against the failure
of the president to advocate passage
of the federal suffrage amendment and
because he permitted the imprison-
ment of women who have been picket
ing the White House.
Mr.. Malone, who as counsel defend
ed the first of the militants arraigned
in police court here, told the president
in his letter of resignation that mas
much as he had promised the women
of the suffrage states that he would
exert all his energy to have the ma
tional Democratic administration in
dorse suffrage by constitutional
amendment, he felt obliged to resign
and devote himself to redeeming that
promise.

JOHN BARLEYCORN
GOES IN DISCARD
PURE FOOD LAW PUTS END TO
MANUFACTURE AND IMPoR-
TATloN OF WHiSkEY.
STOPS ALL MANUFACTURE

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.
verified to food. Importation of whis-
key was also stopped.
Just how much grain will be added
to the food supplies as a result is not
determinable, but experts say about
100,000,000 bushels are used by the
distilleries each year, of which about
10000, 900 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 n.anufact-
uring alcohol for commercial purposes
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 prepare
ton by distillers 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
190,000000 gallons Stocks not in
bond will bring the quantity ON hand
in the country up to about 100000, 900
gallons. The annual production Of
whiskey has been about 10000, 200
gallons.

Secretary Lansing Warns Argentine
Of German Influence In That Coun-
try-state Department Holds
Documentary Proof.

Washington.-S Sweden, as an aid to
German intrigue, was exposed by the
state department.
Documents in possession of the
United States government show that
the Scandinavian country has violated
American neutrality and has had
transactions with Germans that Off
cial Washington expects to lead to a
declaration of war against Germany
by the Argentine republic. The lat.
ter has been almost on the verge of
such step for some time, but has
been placated by Teutonic promises.
Messages were made public by the
state department to show that the
Swedish government permitted Count
Luxburg, the German charge daft
flares in Buenos Aires, to send com
munications to Germany through the
foreign office at Stockholm. These
were passed as official Swedish mes
sages. They were in code. While this
form of communication is not ques.
toned in time of peace, it is consid-
cred remarkable that Sweden allowed
them to go through with assurance
that they were harmless.
Three of these messages were given
out. In two cases they advised Ger
many to pursue ruthless submarine
warfare against the shipping of Argen'
tina, neutral nation to which Count
Luxburg was accredited He urged
that Argentine ships be sunk without
a trace being left" In other words,
he urged the destruction Of the crews
as we'll as of the vessels themselves
Sweden, through her breach of faith
and all international usage, herself is
brought to the brink of war. Diplo.
mats consider her offense inexcusa
BILE More important STILL it is limited
In certain quarters that it is most
probable that this attitude of Sweden
was not confined to the legation al
Buenos Aires and that in it explana
tion might be found for numerous
"leaks" from the United States of mil
itary information to Germany. The
leak" of the sailing dates and routes
of American transports bearing troops
to France, which enabled German sub
marines to lie in wait and waylay
them, was instantly recalled
