WASHINGTON. December 17.-Ger-
man lamentations over the economic
effects of the loss OF Alsace- Lorraine
are expressed in recent article by
pr. Felix Finner, financial editor Of
the Berliner TaEeblatt, copies of which,
forwarded by United States govern
ment agents abroad. have just reached
Washington.
The writer points out that Alsace-
Lorraine was one of the chief sources
OF supply of raw materials. The loss
of manufacturing industries. while re-
grettable, can in measure be over
come by the transplanting of factories
within the borders of Germany. writes
the Berlin editor. But. he adds, the
loss of raw materials is final and ire
placeable.
The mere mention of ore. potash and
petroleum is sufficient, he says, TO in
dictate the significance and Importance
as to raw materials of the historic
province regained by France.
Germany admits that the most Sc
we're blow from an economic viewpoint
which the allies could administer will
be the certain loss OF the iron ore de-
posts. AS to petroleum. Alsace sup
piled prior to the war AZ per cent of
the total amount of 100000 tons of
crude petroleum produced in Germany.
ana the opinion is expressed that while
the yield is large. Germany can get
