GERMAN D|STRUST SHOWN IN FRENCH
 PREM|ER'S SPEECH
Poincaire Denounces PIottings to Separate Alsace-L Lorraine From France-Disarma-
 ment Is Fable
By Associated Press

Strasbourg, Alsace- Lorraine, May 21.-The keynote of Premier Poin- caire's first public speech since the close of the Genoa conference was distrust of Germany and the resolve of France to obtain war separations. The occasion was the congress of the French National Veterans asso- citation today, at which representa- tives of the American, British and other veteran associations were present.
 NJ. Poincaire. mindful of the city In which he was speaking. seized the opportunity to denounce what he termed the insidious plottings of Pan German propaganda at home and abroad, notably in America. to sepa- rate Alsace- Lorraine from France
 Presiding over the banquet of the association. M. Poincaire declared that the peace which had come from the victory they won must neither be disturbed, compromised nor turned little by little against the victors.
 None of you cherishes feelings of hatred and violence" said the premier. None of you nourishrs these imperialistic designs so freely attributed to us by interested calum- niators. None of you desires that our relations with Germany remain eternally poisoned with the memory of hlood-stained years.
 "On the contrary" the premier con tinusd, I've all wish to bring peace back to the hearts of all. but here we are too near the frontier to cherish illusions. Aisace would never believe the fable of-German. disarm-
 Depots of Arms

among some of those affected, but Dr. Bowling, before his departure, emphas sized that he did not want to do anyone an injustice by directing suspicion against those who might be innocent.
 News Withheld
 News of the affair was purposely held back from Wednesday night until Sunday morning to give the of ficers opportunity to lay their plans and got all the preliminary informa-
 tion without Interruption.
 On Saturday afternoon, however, a
 conference was held between the
 board of health. Dr. Bowling and the
 special men working on the case and 1t was decided that the investigation
 had reached a point where the matter should be made public. It was felt
 that In this way certain other infor- nation needed might be brought to their attention by the general pub 1 lie.
 While those in charge feel that very satisfactory progress has been
 made. it Is believed that renewed stimulus will be given by the various rewards offered. Announcement came from Montgomery last night
 that the state would offer special
 reward for arrest and conviction of l the guilty, for Montgomery was
 shocked, just as Birmingham and
 the whole state were shocked yes terday by news of the crime. It was
 suggested yesterday that the city and
 county would also probably offer re. wards, since Dr. Bowling Is an em.
 ploye of both the city and county.

Would Be Willing to Partici- pate in a Solely Economic
 Conference in Europe, Officials Say

Washington; May 2l.--Participation of the United States In economic coun- cils abroad-when the governments
 of Europe are ready to eliminate po- litical questions from their discus sions of world rehabilitation-was forecast tonight in official circles. The American government, accord ing to officials in close touch with the administration, would be willing to join with other nations to work
 out plans for restoring the interna- tional commercial equilibrium If American representatives could jour ney abroad convinced that political subjects would be barred from any conference they attended.
 Some of these expressed the belief that if tho governments of Europe
 would invite this country to a con-
 ference which definitely confined the
 scope of its deliberations to the solu- ton of economic problems. the invita- ton would receive a much more cor dial reception than has been accorded the numerous requests for American representation at the series of coun- cils held abroad in the past three years.
 While the problems to be solved in healing the worlds war wounds are
 many, government economists main tain that the basic questions to be
 answered are few.
