"l9" SUPERSTITION

Alsace-Lorraine Dates Have

Special Correspondence TO THE Sun.

PARIS, July 19.-The 10" superstition
has arisen and gained some vogue. The
sum of the d!gits in 1918 makes 10. A
lieutenant in the French army found
time while his regiment was resting be-
hind the lines to work ont this:
Here are the dates In h'etory on
which the fate OF Alsace-Lorraine has
depended and in which the issue has
turned out favorably for France:
81. In l64s, the treaty of Westphalia
which gave Alsace to France. The sum
OF /. 6, 4 and is 10.
"2. In 1875. the campaign In Alsace
by Turenne which confirmed the French
conquest. The sum again is 10.
"3. In 1898. the peace OF Vienna,
which gave France Lorraine: 10 again.
-. In 1872, the victory of Ealmy,
which reestablished the French frontiers
In the east. Once more the sum IL 10.
"And that isn't all. Why are the
Americans here to help US win Alsace-
Lorraine? 1t IL because we assisted
them to win their independence, and in
what year? In 1888"
But he pushed 1t a bit too far. for he
foresaw peace on the 1459th day Of the
war. which would be July 80. 1918. But
why not on the 1477th day. or the
14s6th or l495th? They all fall in

AMSTERDAM. July S. Starvation

telegram from Budapest, where Mayor
Body conveked the municipal food conf

Vienna. The Mayor also published an
appeal in which he asked the people OF
Budapest TO renounce one days ration
week for two months. II this was
done fffty carloads of grain could be
sent to Vienna. the Mayor adds.
The German press charges Count
Czernin and the Austrian press with
creating an optimism as to food condi-
lions for which there was no foundation
in fact. Vienna had hoped to get vast
quantities OF -four from the Ukraine
and none came. Czernln Is accused of
ovsrstating the possible results OF the
Ckrainian .agreement.
IT seems Czernin tried to lull the
people into contentedness by telling them
huge supplies would be on the way from
the Ukraine In the near future When
these promises could not be fulfilled the
bread ration had to be halved In Vienna.
Germany too had to reduce It's daily
bread ration.
At the same time Germany did send
some grain to Vienna. Bavaria sent
trains OF grain to Tyrol At the same
time Austrian newspapers were charging
Germany with having scooped the Ukra-
inian stores, although 1t had promised
they would be preserved for Austria.

LONDON, July 2o.-The lack of ship

for many new schemes for shipbuilding
yards and docking facilities that arc

likely to be forthcoming.
Carnayon is conveniently situated on

PARIS, July 19.-Americans In Paris
at last have found courage to protest
against the annoyance which they In
common with all other aliens resident
in France are put in connection with
their registration at police stations.
No one objects to registering or to
reporting regularly. It is recognized
that some such system is necessary,
just as the registration Of Germans has
been found necessary in America. But
what causes the friction is tho fact that
the process has been made needlessly
troublesome and annoying many Of the
petty police officers seem to have given
offence. and the description put upon
the cards sometimes Is almost insulting
because 1t makes no distinction appar-
entity between citizens OF allied nations
and neutrals. or worse, between allies
and enemies
sample of tho complaints Is a let
ter from an American to the editor of
Le Figaro, the newspaper which has
been leading the fight for reform In
the practice OF allen registration. The
letter Is anonymous, but the writer gives
several clues to his identity and New
Workers. have been trying TO guess 1t.
France His Second Mother.
ut Is with the greatest Interest that
| have been reading your articles on the
subject of registration cards for allied
citizens" he writes. IT am an American

myself was reared in France. where l

scented myself with my wife ut the office
OF the commissioner of police for my
quarter to attend to our registration,
and after an hour OF waiting and Of
questioning what was my surprise to
find written on the sheet this remark
on the subject Of my wife, born a
Frenchwoman
Her conduct and her morality have
not given rise to unfavorable remarks
and her sentiments toward France do
not appear suspicious TO me
Certainly he didn't overstate the case
and something ought to be done to mod
ify such state OF affairs. for either
we are allies, and therefose your friends,
or we are suspects, and then must be
treated as you treat neutrals."
