TRepubIican A. P.Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, March 23.-A per init to manufacture wine out of straw berries for non beverage purposes was issued tonight to the Strawberry Growers association of Louisiana by the bureau of internal revenue. Pro vision is made that no sugar shall be added to increase the alcoholic content.
 Bureau officials said that the straw berry growers had appealed to pro hibition authoIi ities for permission 10 set up a winery to care for their sur plus crop, estimated to be worth about $5.OO0, ,0OO Ender the Volstead act It was explained. it is legal to establish wineries for the manufacture of non beverage products for sacramental or medicinal purposes.
 The association, it was said, plans to erect in Louisiana a large wine manu- featuring plant.
 Whether the principle on which the permit was issued would apply in other cases officials could not say, but it was suggested that should surplus of ber- ries occur in other states, the pro- ducers would be entitled to an oppor- tunity to show whether there was danger of heavy loss unless the estao- lishment of a winery was resorted to
 Such procedure, officials intimated would not be confined to strawberry producers, but would include producers of other juicy berries and might in the case of necessity cover vegetables such as beets and possibly elderberries and dandelions.

 Germany has indicated her inten- tion to lay claim to the entire region on the basis of the numerical majority returned in her favor in Upper Silesia without distinction to communes or districts. This claim, the dispatches indicated will be strongly opposed by the foreign office. which interprets article S8 of the treaty of Versailles as not providing for the attribution to either Poland or Germany of Upper Silesia as a whole.
 According to the treaty. the dis patches said. the interallied commis- sion will submit to the supreme coun- cl, the plan of division of Upper Sile- sia on the basis of the votes in the
 communes, taking into consideration the economic and geographical situa- ton of each locality
 Latest advices from Warsaw to th' Polish legation, while admitting numerical majority in the territory il favor of. Germany, showed an aug mented total number of districts an,
 communes which voted for Poland. Il
