After a careful watch last night

uncovered everywhere on the
premises, in the cellar, in the
house and buried in the yards

hands of Chairman Lever, of the agrl-

ton in the house.
The measure, which, it is under

RESTORE ALSACE
ARGUES HARDEN

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 22--Germany
should not take any territory from
the Russian empire and might give
back Alsace-Lorraine to France, Max
imilian Harden declares in Die Zu-
kunft. He says:
He who wishes to tear away Pol
and, Courland. Lithuania, Esthonia
and Livonia from the Russian en-
pires, makes of this empire mortal
enemy, for Russia will not always have
Leninistic feelings. These countries
would bring us no advantage. Their
economic development could not in the
least be helped by gold fertilization
by Germany with its one hundred and
fifty billion marks of war debt and a
Slavic strain through Germany would
endanger the life of the country. not
merely the life of east Prussia. After
our experience in the west is there
now to be created a much greater and
more dangerous Alsace-Lorraine?'
With regard to Alsace-Lorraine,
Herr Harden writes:
Neither Premier Lloyd-George nor
President Wilson believe Germany is
willing to surrender Alsace-Lorraine
to France at the present moment, but
what about Germany's attitude two or
three years after peace is signed
when there can be fair consulta ton
with the jeople? 1t was admittedly
a mistake to take possession Of AL
sace-Lorraine. Must we always carry
this burdensome inheritance of our
forefathers? We are strong enough
to be our own masters and to cease to
be trammelled by errors of the past"

authorities. There is doubt as to
whether Sporemann should be tried
as an arch-spy or simply interned as
an alien enemy.
Department of Justice officials are
said to lean to the theory that the
prisoner can be charged with no
greater crime than that of being an
alien enemy. Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, however, believes the case
against sporemann serious one and
Is insisting that it be not dealt lightly
with until the evidence gathered by
the navy intelligence bureau is

Department of Justice officials now
deny the stories of Sporemann al

of the youths room in Baltimore.
