ALSACE-L0RRAINE
PROBLEM UNSOLVED
Catholic Clergy Blocks French
Efforts at National
Unity.

Special Gable to THE New YORK HEzALr.

Paris, July o.
French efforts to bring Alsace-Lorraine
into the national fold. The Catholic
clergy. which is predominating in the
majority of the districts. is showing a
sudden tendency to uphold a policy OF
separatism so far as civic affairs are
concerned. While not being professedly
pro-German, they have thus been play
ing Germanys game. IT is considered. as
there is already a large element In the
recovered departments which, because Of
German connections or parentage. ma
turally have not lost all interest in Ger
man methods and habits.
Hundreds of Catholic priests have
been brought up in an element hostile to
France because of the latter's anti
Catholic policy as cxemplified by the
rupture in relations with the Vatican.
and they are resorting to all the old
arguments now as reason why Alsace-
Lorraine should consider itself friendly
to France but master of her own des-
TIMES.
This effort to reduce the French in
fluence Is even going so far as to appear
in some Of the leading Catholic news
papers In Alsace. Others have aban-
doned the idea of separatism in favor
of a compromise arrangement along the
lines accen:uated by the regional govern
ment. which would be so severe as almost
to make the region autonomous and dan
gerous as an intermediary between
France, Germany and Switzerland in
case economic arguments should ever
arise.
The situation is considered so serious
In some quarters that it is being sug-
gested that the French send scores of
officials into the recovered territory
temporarily TO direct the native func-
tionaries. who are reported in most cases
to be inclined toward leniency to the
clericals at the risk of endangering
Frances prospects of eventually assimi-
lating what was robbed from her fifty
years ago.

vICEROY TO LIVE AT LODGE.
Dublin Castle Not TO House New
Irish Lord Lieutenant.

DUBLIN, July e.-Lord Fitzalan. the
new Irish viceroy, will not take up his
residence in the state apartments of
Dublin Castle. Normally the Castle. be-
sides being the seat Of Government in
Ireland. is the official residence of the
Lord Lieutenant, and the viceregal
Lodge Is merely a sort OF rural rest
house. The Viceregal Lodge is at pres
ent being redecorated and furnished for
the reception of the new Viceroy He
will have no other residence unless. as
Lord Dudley did. he rents one for HIM
self somewhere In the provinces.
All the most important officials live
In the Castle. 1t is not safe for many
of them to leave 1t, since men employed
there have been shot dead In the streets.
There is. therefore, no room for the
Lord Lieutenant 1t is understood that
he intends to entertain much more freely
than Lord French, but he will do so at
the Viceregal Lodge. Thers will he gar
den parties and musical parties instead
OF the old-time formal functions for
which the Castle was famous.

SAN MARINO IS REFUGE
PLACE OF COMMUNISTS
Worlds Oldest Republic Does
Not Welcome Them.

BOLOGNA. Italy. July 9.-Cities of ref
uge. parallels of the cities of refuge
maintained in Mosaic times, have been
discovered in San Marino. the worlds
oldest republic. situated in the very
heart of Italy. The cities OF the repub-
lie are the refugees Of hundreds of Com
munists, who flee there TO escape the
surveillance of the italian police force
and attacks Of the Fascist. or Extreme
Natonalists.
In many cases. attired in the garb OF
priests. Communists apply to the au-
thorities Of San Marino for protection
and permission to live within the re-
public's Jurisdiction. One Communist
was so overcome with fright that he
asked to be confined in prison so that
he would be safe from any assault OF the
Fascist.
The republic. on the other hand. does
not welcome it's new guests and has APP
piled to the italian Government for an
extra force OF carabineers to ferret out
the Communist refugees and take them
back within the jurisdiction Of Italy.

After drought which has been prac-

all Quarters come stories of crop fail

The reports of experts say that the
grass, which should be a foot high. Is
not high enough to hide rat; grain Is
less than a foot high fruit burned and
stunted, and yet couple Of days of
heavy rain would put the crops where
they ought to be except for hay already
cut and early roots already dug.
The drought has among its less seri.

inflicts the most pain, while the dreaded

Officials are becoming anxious about
the water shortage and the people In all
cities are being warned not to waste
water. Manchester, which gets most OF
its water supply from England's lake
district. has only enough water supply
to last sixty-eight days. In London
people have been asked not to use more
than an inch Of water for their baths.

is said that the brewing Of beer will
have to be restricted unless rain comes
soon.
Even outdoor sports are being handi-
capped by the fact that the grass In
parks and on golf courses has all been
burnt to a crisp. The only hopeful sign
thus far is seen In reports OF rain in
northern Scotland. Prayers are being
offered in many districts for the rain
to spread over all the British Isles.

knew of the presence In Moscow of the
Irish mission, he raised no objection.
Lloyd Georges cynical tolerance in
this matter Is in marked contrast to the
violence he displayed when he learned in
Switzerland lsst year. from the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, that the
Bolshevist political agents in London
had been deceiving him with regard to
the terms offered by Trotzky to the
Poles. A gentleman who was in the
Premier's party on that occasion after
ward described to me the violence of his
wrath at being thus hoodwinked: and 1t
Is we'll known that the first thing he
did on returning to Downing Street was
to have thos, Bolshevist representatives
ordered out of the country. Yet now
he has proofs. he says. that Lenine
has actually opened communication with
the Irish rebels in the very heart of
the British Empire; yet he seems to
be rather pleased than otherwise and
sends no communication on that subject
to Moscow. tho ugh he would be within
his rights In breaking off the trade
agreement and sending Krassine's mis-
sion back to Russia.
After Bigger Game.
AS a matter of fact neither Lloyd
George nor Lenine takes this matter
seriously, and each knows that the other
does not take 1t seriously. Lenine Is
after bigger game than Ireland and Is
looking long way ahead He is as
finty hearted on the subject Of Irish
grievances as Napoleon was on the sub
ject OF Corsican independence or Polish
grievances, and would sacrifice Irelard
as readily as Napoleon sacrificed the
Corsicans and the Poles. He is a ma
chine. a living formula, not man; and
the Sim Feiners will yet find this out.
Finally. the ease with which these six
Sim Feiners got to Moscow is very
suspicious, and leads one to think that
Lloyd George knew they were going and
put no obstacle in their way. as he now
puts no obstacle in the way of their
remaining. for they furnish him with
the best propaganda against Sim .Fein
that he could possibly wish for.
There Is at present in Riga an ex-
officer of Carson's Ulster army who Is
virulent enemy Of Sim Fein and a
reserve officer in the British army. who
told me that even he had the utnsot
difficulty In getting a passport from Bel
fast to Riga Two British secret SER

this fact. that six Sim Feiners with

could come unnolested all the way from
Dublin to Moscow One curious ciroum-
stance is that copies OF all their letters

LANSING'S FILINGS WILL GO
UNNOTICED BY WILSON

The sharp indictment of Woodraw
Wilson'S conduct of the peace ne.
gotiations at Paris, drawn up by his
former secretary of state, Robert
Lansing, in a book Of memoirs which
went on puplic sale in Washington
recently, created intense interest in
governmental and political circles.
Spokesmen for the former presi-
dent said that Mr.. Wilson had not
read the book, although private copies
of it have been available to a select
few in Washington for the past few
DAYS. Mr.. Wilson has read, however,
with a great deal Of interest, the
stories from Mr.. Lansing's pen which
have appeared in recent magazines,
but he has refrained from making
any comment on them, even to his
most intimate associates, his friends
said.
Some of Mr.. Wilson's former asso-
ciates expressed doubt that he would
attempt any answer to Lansinc's
charges that he virtually ignored
and snubbed his co-negotiators in the
treaty making at Paris. Such
course would be unidentified for the
former president and world figure,
thew said.
By others it was believed that
some Of the few men who still have
the confidence of the former presi-
dent will take up the burden Of de-
Tense, either with or without his per-
mission, 1t was also suggested that
Mr. Wilson might content himself bv
merely making public at some future
date the minutes of the negotiations
at Paris, and allow these In stand as
his answer to his former secretary
of state.
Joseph P. Tumultv. former secre-
tarv to President Wilson, had this
to say about the Lansing revelations:
"I will have some interesting things
myself to saw about Mr. LANSING in.

BERRY GROWERS
no HAVE WINERY

A permit to manufacture wine
out of Strawberries for non-beverage
purposes was issued last Thursday
night to the Strawberry Growers
Association Of Louisiana by the bu-
reau of internal revenue in Washing
ton. Provision is made in the per-
nit that no sugar shall be added to
increase the alcoholic content of the
product.
While no explanation of the issu-
ance Of the permit was made by the
bureau, officials said that the straw
berry growers had appealed to the
prohibition authorities for permission
to set up a winery in order to care
fer their surplus crop, which was
estimated to be worth about S5,000,-
900. Under the Volstead act, it was
explained, it is legal to establish
wi cries for the manufacture of nom
beverage products for sacramento
or medicinal purposes.
The association, it was said, plans
to erect in Tangapahoa parish Of
Louisiana a large winery, which will
take care of the surplus strawberries
of the growers.
Whether the principle in which the
hermit was issued to the strawberry
men would apply to other cases, Of
ficials could not say, but it was sug-
gested that that should a surplus of
berries occur in other states, the pro
ducers would be entitled to an OPP
to show whether there was
danger of heavy loss illness the es-
Establishment of winery was resorted
70
Such procedure, officials intimated,
would not be confined to strawberry
producers, but would include produc-
efs Of other iuicv berries, blackber-
ries, blueberries and the different
shade of raspberries- and might, in
the case Of necessity, cover vege-
tables, such as beets, and possibly
dandelions and elderberries.
