AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN GER
many, Jan. i7-(By Courier to Nancy
If the Rhinelands are taken from Ger
many a spirit Of revenge win be en-
gendered-a spirit that will bring on
another war, Count Won Groote, gov
ernor OF the Rhenlsh provinces, de-
clared today TO the United Press.
marshal Foch, in an interview made
public today, declared that France. in
self-defense, must kept its hold on the
Rhine).
Van Groote made the emphatic asser-
tion that the Germans would never
Rhineland territory. Ultimate redemp-
tlon Of such territory by Germany
would be the object Of their most
ardent hopes and endeavors," he said.
Germany as a whole would consider
such a severance as a gross violation
OF the fundamental condition Of the
equitable peace OF nations as proclaim
ed by President Wilson," Won Groote
declared. "The territory on the left
bank OF the Rhine belongs TO Germany
and Is thoroughly German. (This is the
area held at present by American and
Allied troops). We would never forget
such a severance and the reunion with
Germany would be the object OF our
most ardent endeavors.
These sentiments are most emphatic
ally shared by the Rhinelanders them
selves. They would consider their
separation from the rest Of Germany
a great misfortune. think the effects
OF such a separation are clearly evil
dent I do not doubt for a moment
that such a procedure would create
a permanent source Of serious uneasi-
ness and perturbation in the political
situation. It is my opinion that the
Rheinish provinces do not wish separa-
tion from Germany, but that some Of
the inhabitants may consider that the
peculiar interests are not sufficiently
guaranteed by the present relations
with the Prussian state and that their
interests would be better protected if
the Rhineland and perhaps other parts
of Germany were united into separate
federal states within the German
realm"
An effort TO influence the peace con-
ference decisions by whining or wheed- |
ling is evident In recent stateemnts |
from German leaders. Won Groote's plea |
and war hint follows an utterance from |
Bernstorff wherein he insinuated that
i would be dishonest for the Allies
10 retain the German colonies. ..

Gus occasions, about the Lacey murder
When Sergeant Green was asked why

temper, had administered the terrific
beating which caused Laceys death.
After Haughey had been confined at the

Green to have the man removed from

Haughey was then removed TO the
State Hospital where it was found that
his condition was serious. IL was stated
today that he had small chance of re-

from a severe case Of influenza.

those questioned today were Bessie and

Hill had notified the police that he had
seen a searehlieht being flashed about
in his barn. The police on arriving
there found the Toomey girl in TAXI
cab outside a barn. while the others
were within the building.
