METzSLOWLYWAKES
To HER NEW STATUS
UNDER FRENCH RULE

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY AT
METZ, Nov. 29.-CBy the Associated
Press 1T is going to take some time
for 'the territory of Metz" to accus-
tom itself to the changes which are
the opinion of the old inhabitants of
this region. By this name this part of
reconquered Lorraine will be known
installed in the French republic.
The greater problem will be Metz
itself. the smaller towns and rural dis
tricts, excepting the mining districts,
being as thoroughly French as ever,
the metropolis of the province, how
ever, after having served for 4S years
as a German garrison, has been Ger
manized to an extent that can be ap-
preciated only by personal contact
The very considerable number Of Ger
man immigrants the imperial army
brought with it had established the
strong German colony, almost equal
ing the French civilian population in
numbers. These Germans held all the
public offices and filled all the public
posts on railroads and in the postal
service. They finally succeeded in
the French in the municipal council.
The native population, unfailing in
its loyalty to France, was overwhelmed
and terrorized and could only nurse its
affection for France in secret. Now
that the liberation the people hoped for.
almost without daring to look for, has
come, it has taken them by surprise.
People Do Not Realize
Those residents of Metz who are
Most devoted to France still find occa-
sionally that in spite of themselves
they are speaking low when talking
of France and their newly regaine6
liberty, from the instructive fear of g
heavy German hand on the shoulder
and an invitation to follow to the po-
lice station
The German population, on the othel
hand, appear to lack thus far full com
prehension of what has happened. The
German residents take the arrival O.
the French troops as an unwarrante(
invasion. The presiding officer of The
| German civil administration, Baron
Won Gemmingen, showed surprise

RUSSIAN PLIGHT IS
BROUGHT SQUARELY
To PEACE COUNCIL

WASHINGTON, Nov 23.-Recogni-
ton of Russia at the world peace con-
ference at, Versailles was urged by
Prince George Lvoff, first prime min
lister of Russia, after the overthrow of
the czar, in a statement today to the
American people. Prince Lvoff ex-
pressed his conviction that any pro-
gram of reconstruction which does not
provide for the complete destruction of
bolsheVism in Russia will leave in the
world the germ of another great war.
1.-The termination of the war has
raised the question of the peace confer
ence," said Prince Lvoff. II think a
sense of duty and justice dictates to
the allies the necessity of organizing in
Versailles the defense of Russian in
terests. This work can be done by
Russians only. The country as whole
is unable at present to send to the con-
ference its plenipotentiary representa-
tives. But when our friend is i'll we
act for him.
slider the form of their part at the con-
ference is a matter of friendly interest
to the allies"
lvoff Issues Statement
OF the present bolshevik rulers of
Russia, Prince Lvoff said:
"At the moment of greatest weari-
ness of the war, they promised bread
and liberty to the people and many fol-
lowed
Instead of peace they gave never
ceasing war; instead of bread, hunger
without precedent in Russia; instead
of liberty, a bloody tyranny such as we
never knew in the worst years Of the
reign Of the czars.
1.-THE bolsheviki are indulging in a
perpetual revolution. Their aim is uni
versal social eruption. They are inter-
ested in Russia chiefly as a hearth
where they may keep up, by all means,
the worlds conflagration. From the
outside, it would seem that the boil
sheviki display strong power, but this
impression is not correct Almost all
the branches of their administration
are in a state of chaos and they are
unable to enforce, even by the most
cruel and sanguinary measures, the
submission of the border lands and the
execution of their DEGREES.
Points Duty to Allies
TN the bclsheviki state, in connec-
ton with complete anarchy, reign hun
ger and the need of all essentials of
| life. The allies have decided to feed
vanquished foes. Can they let Russia
die of starvation? The allies REQUIRE
order of Germany. Can they tolerate
| the nest of anarchy in Russia, the
| domination of the bolshevik. who are
| aiming to kindle class hatred and the
struggle with the arm Of the proletariat
/ against other groups of the population
Il deem the intervention of the al
lies is dictated not only by pure COM
passion for the victims of Russian boil
sheyism, but by political foresight as
well.
"A sentence on bolshevilzism and all
its crimes has been passed by all the
civilized nations. but the source and
character of its power remain stiIl not
clearly understood by many people
abroad"

Third Liberty Loan May
 Not Exceed $5, 100000, ,00(

Washington, March. 20.-Imminence of Secretary McAdoo's announcement of thd size and interest of the third Iibert Loan, to open April 6, gave special i'm portance today to a treasury announced ment of government receipts and expendj itures, from which might be calculated with fair accuracy the sum the goyernI ment would need before the end of thd fiscal year, June 30.
 Outstanding features of these figured as unofficially analysed, were that wal costs are not increasing from month i'd month as had been expected and thaI ordinary expenditures and loans to all lies in the next three and a half monthI probably will not be much over $4,O00, ,0O0. coo. To this must be added the neces| sary outlay of about 8, 115, 100000 to re( deem securities now outstanding; $500 e0O,000 for the governments capital in th{ war finance corporation whose creatio} is expected soon, and $500, ,000,000 to proj vide a current working balance at th{ end of the year. These would make total of $S,655, ,00o, 600 needed between noH and June 90.
 On the other side of the books mighf be placed the $S53,000,000 working baH ance on hand today, $2,S16,000,0O0 estiI mated receipts from income and excesf profits taxes and other internal revenui sources: s75,00O,0O0 estimated miscellanef ous receipts; s43.000,0O0 estimated custom receipts; approximately $200,000 900 reve
 nue expected from sale of War SavingI and Thrift Stamps, and $500, 0o0, 900 to h
 received in the next three days from current issue of certificates. These woulf make total of nearly $4,50 100000 whic{ might be expected to flow into the treasI ury between now and June 30 from othe& sources other than the Liberty Loan. | | On this basis of calculation the diff ference to be provided for would be bel tween S4,000, 600, coo and s5,0o0, 100000 Th1 sum is much less than has been ca E culated in the past on the basis of eY
 penditures on government departmen4 and loaned to allies.
