Uncle Harry Talks About The
Past and Future Of AIsace- Lorraine

the first inhabitants Of Alsace-Lor-
raine were the Gauls--that Is, the early
inhabitants Of what is now France I;
but after the Roman Conquest, Alsoce-
Lorraine became largely Germanized.
For many years it was claimed FIRST by
one power and then by another. At the
end Of the Thirty Years War, In the
early part Of the Seventeenth Century,
part Of the province was given to
France, and practically all Of the re-
mainder was seized by King Louis the
Fourteenth Of France in 1881 Then for
100 years it remained a part OF France
until IL was taken by Germany at the
time OF the Franco-Prussian war. The
majority Of the present inhabitants to-
day, are, ] should say, more French
than German, although the German in
iluence over the people, through mill
tary and business interests, is very
powerful"
do you think Alsaco-Lorraine will
become part of France after the
war asked Helen
That's too big "a question for any
one TO answer righ. now" said Uncle
Harry France went 10 war TO defend
herself from the German army and Ia
drive the invaders back into Germany
not TO recover Alsace-Lorralne. But
naturally good many people In
Fracce said that the war should con-
tlnue until Germany was willing to
give up Alsace-Lorrainc. But many
many people have changed their minds
about many things since the wal
stared. and the war may end without
the question Of Alsace-Lorraine beins

against loss or theft of liberty bonds.
owners are being urged by the treas
ury to have their coupon bonds regis
tered although the procedure results
inagreat amount of work and expense
for the Government now that the
number of bond owners runs above
&c. 900, 900. The registration can be
arranged at most banks. and is done
without cost to the owner. After
registration, if a bond is accidentally
lost. stolen or destroyed, the Govern
ment will pay it at maturity just the
same and interest checks will be
mailed to the bond owner twice a
year without requiring him to go to
the trouble of clipping coupons and
presenting them at a bank.
"The fact that bonds Of the first
liberty loan or bonds of the second
liberty loan are converted into bonds
bearing higher rate of interest does
not affect the dates on which interest
is payable" explains a treasury an
nouncement.
Interest is paid on bonds of the
first loan, regardless of whether they
have been converted, on June Is, and
December Is; on bonds Of the second
loan, May Is and November Is; third
loan, March Is and September Is;
fourth loan, April Is and October

SUGAR Restrictions ReSCinded

Effective at once and until further
notice. the certificate plan, as we'll as
all restrictions on household purchase
and consumption of sugar have been
suspended, according to an official
communicationreceivedfro from the Uni
ted States food administration for Ne
vada. Grocers may sell any reasonable
quantity of sugar to families, restau-
rants, bakers and others without re-
quiring certificates or other evidence
of sale.
This modification of rules is made
possible by congestion at refineries,
surplus from American sugar saving
during the last six months, and the
availability of new Cuban and Java
sugars.
No rules of the United States food
administration regarding boarding or
governing licenses are affected by this
order, and remain in full force and
effect.

EAT SUBSTITUTES
UNTIL CHRISTMAS

To the end that stocks of victory
and other substitute fours may be
utilized without waste, the Federal
food administration for Nevada has
requested all housewives, bakers and
restaurants to continne the purchase
and use of substitutes to be used at
their convenience and any quantities
they desire. Such use is not manda-
tory, but is necessary in view of the
utter criminalty of food waste under
present conditions of world shortage.
STARK famine is blighting half the
world" runs the food administration
statements, land no loyal citizen of
Nevada is willing for the small stocks
Of substitute in the hands Of our
grocers to spoil and be wasted. In
solar as this waste occurs, just so
far are we guilty of withholding
foodstuffs from starving millions.
And exactly as we meet u present
pressing obligations to save and send
food, just so will we be judged by
future generations as having done
our duty to humanity. True. some
of these other fours cost slightly
more than wheat, but the quantities
are so small, and the time during
which it will be necessary for us to
use them so short, that the differ
ence is not appreciable. Let US meet
this small demand as we have met
all Others"

the early days of this State, when
Mr.. Russell operated on the Com

ATTORNEY VAN FLEET
INDICTED At ELK0

Elko, Nevada, Nov. 30.-Three in
dictments, two charging subornation
of perjury and one charging perjury,
were returned against Carey Van
Fleet, prominent Elko attorney, by
the Elko grand jury. This developed
yesterday when Van Fleet returned
from Salt Lake City and was placed
under arrest shortly after he got off
the train.
On the two subornation charges of
perjury, Van Fleet appeared before
District Judge Taber, who fixed his
bail at $1,000 in each case. Bail was
furnished by John Henderson and
Robert W. Hesson.
The two s%ubornation of perjury
charges are the result of the trial of
Henry J. Jones and j. G.. Gregory
for malfeasance in Office while men,
bers of the Board of County Com
missioners. The two men were re-
moved from office by District Judge
Walsh of Esmeralda County, sitting
for Judge Taber. 1t is charged Van
Fleet did wilfully and feloniously
suborn Henry ]. Jones and J. G.
Gregory to wilfully, falsely and cor
ruptly swear to an nswer to an
amended complaint"
The complaints against Jones and
Gregory are set out in full in the in
dictments.
The complaint charging perjury is
in connection with the contempt
charge against E. M. Steniger, grow
ing out of the publication of the re-
port of the grand jury on the Jones
and Gregory cases. The complaint
charges Van Fleet with swearing
that Steniger admitted to him that
he had seer a copy of the grand jury
report before it was filed, whereas.
in truth and in fact the said E. M.
Steniger did not admit that he saw a
partial report of the grand jury be-
fore the same was filed"
Van Fleet is one of the most prom
inent attorneys in the State. He is
a son of William Van Fleet. judge of
the United States district court at
San Francisco.
my Indictment is the outcome of
the defense l made for the County
Commissioners in the removal case,"
said Attorney Van Fleet this orn
ing. 1.-TWO Of the indictments are
based upon technically and pleadings
One indictment is based on a proceed
ing l brought against Editor Steni-
ger to ascertain whether he had re-
vealed secrets of the grand jury
room, it being brought to our atten-
ton that the reports of the grand jury
were seen by him before they were
filed.
1.-The whole thing is a result of the
bitterness arising out of the commits
sioners' case. There is no doubt of a
favorable result, so far as l am con-
cerned, and l do not fear the out
come. The witnesses before the grand
jury on my indictment are Judge
Talbot and Deputy General
Patrick and what they alleged against
me as to pleadings will be found, l
have no doubt. in their W plead
ings. l have never made any false
afidavits, nor have | ever asked any
of nv clients to make any,"
