GERMAN GRIP
ON LORRAINE
IS HEIGHTENED
Teutons Attempting to Col
onize the Country with
Prussians.

The German government appears
to be planning to strengthen tho Ger.
nan element in Alsace-Lorraine BIZ
extending Its system Of colonization
there. Copies Of German neWspapero
received In London a short while ago
contained the following report sent
out from s~trassburg by the semi-onic-
fal Violin Telegraph Bureau:
In Strassburg there exists under
the style Of the Western March
Lands Company q limited liability
company for the purchase. sale, d.
vision, and conjunction of plots Of
land, and for the improvement Of tho
soil. especially in the Lorraine from
tier region. The company will furth-
er make it its business to settle peas
ants, laborers, and workmen-pref-
erence being given to war veterans
and to ameliorate farming and hous-
Ing conditions. The work Of the COM
pany, which Is a social welfare organ
ization and aims at promoting the
the German people, stands, neverthe-
less, upon a business footing. Tho
foundation capital amounts to $780,
600 marks, ($1,7S5,O0O at normal ex-
change,) and has for the most part
been contributed by the larg, pro-
vincial settlement organizations. with
the Participation Of industrial enter
prises. The Chairman Of the manag-
ing committee is the former govern
ment President Of Frankfurt-on-the-
Oder, Herr o Schwerin, and the
present managing director Is DR.. Mey-
denbauer Of the Prussian Ministry Of
Finance.
The company will also acquire the
landed property Of French citizens,
and will strive to set independent and
efficient German farmers in the place
of tenants with little capital of their
own who depend upon foreign sup
port. 1t is hoped by this means to
improve agricultural conditions. espe-
cially in Lorraine.
"A recent rumor, according to
which 1t was proposed to transfer 49,
600 East Prussians to Lorraine, has
provoked mirth among those who are
acquainted with local conditions. Any
one who has even a working knowl-
edge Of East Prussia must be well
aware that the East Prussian auth
critics are most apprehensively con-
cerned to keep all East Prussians in
the country, and that nowhere in
East Prussia is there any desire to
emigrate to the west Of the empire.
AS a matter of fact, there is no lack
OF applications by would-be settlers
in the Western March. The attrac-
tons Of this region have induced in
many farmers who have got to know
Lorraine during the war a desire to
settle there. 1t will. therefore, not be
necessary to anvas specially for
settlers from he east of the Father

CHAPTER xt.


On my second trip to the trenches
our officer was making his rounds of
inspection. and we received the cheer
full news that at four in the morning
we were to go over the top and take
the German front-line trench. My heart
turned to lead Then the officer car
ried on with his Instructions. To the
best Of my memory | recall them as
follows "At eleven wiring party will
go out In front and cut lanes through
our barbed wire for the passage OF
troops in the morning. At two O'Clock
our artillery will open up with an in
tense bombardment, which will last IN
I'll four. Upon the lifting of the bar
rage the first of the three waves will
20 over" Then he left. Some of the
rTommies, first getting permission from
the sergeant, went into the machine
gunners' dugout and wrote letters
home. saying that in the morning they
we're going over the top, and also that
II the letters reached their destination
1T would mean that the writer had been
killed.
These letters were turned over to
the captain with instructions to mail
SANE In the event Of the writer's being
killed. Some Of the men made out
their wills Ia their pay books. under
the caption. "Will and Last Tesla
ment."
Then the nerve-racking wait com
rnenced. Every now and then | would

Tn. Kaiser and Russian Wheat:

Reports from neutral countries tel
Of Germany and Austria shipping to
their starving people several hundred
thousand tons of Russian and Rou'
manlan wheat. No mention Is made OF
the price the conquering armies paid
for the precious grain for the good
reason that no price was paid.
Farmers here in America are getting
ii pretty fair price for their wheat from
government which is only asking In
return that some OF this money paid
for the crops be lo0ned back that more
wheat may be bought.
