ALSACE-LORRA|NE
WANTS OWN RULE
Group From Recovered
Provinces Insists on
Early Autonomy.

BY Gable TO The Star and New York World.
PARIS, December 16.-Home rule
for Alsace-Lorraine is the slogan OF
a new movement in these provinces
Sixteen of the eighteen members OF
the chamber of duties commission
for the recovered provinces are in II
and have resigned. 1t promises to
develop a group of permanent ire
Concilables in Parliament.
The new group insists on autonomy
in local administration. 1t already
has asked the commission for it, un-
successfully, and will ask II again.
The leaders want secretary of state
for Alsace- Lorraine, with a place in
the cabinet and a special department
of the ministry of the interior at
StraSbourg to control all Internal af-
fairs.
The immediate cause of the home
rule demands is the insistence of Pre-
mier Herriots government on abo!t-
ton of Catholic schools In the recov-
cred provinces, and of the post of high
commissioner, which has governed
from Strasbourg.
Old Regime Carried On.
The commissioner has carried on
the old regime, which in its broad
lines is that of the Second Empire
and was continued by the Germans.
1t permits local traditions to operate
unchecked, especially those affecting
church and school If the commits
sioner is abolished, Alsace-Lorraine
will be treated like all the rest of
France, under a system of projects,
with central control in Paris.
Objections to the change have been
voiced constantly in the Chamber
since NJ Herriot declared against
special treatment for the provinces.
CIericaIs have used Alsace-Lorraine
Catholics as the center for agitation
against the governments anu-Vati-
can policy.
The home rulers are now formed
into a group like the Irish National
lists in the British House of Com
mons. This presents opportunities for
bargaining and for protest which is
disconcerting TO the radical Socialist
government. -.
To prevent the movement from maxi
Ing even more difficult the delicate
task of getting the budget adopted.
the government, through Deputy
George WE'LL of the lower Rhine.
chairman of the commission for re-
covered provinces, is trying in vain
to settle the difficulty within the
commission.
They Refuse compromise
compromise measure is promised,
by which the system now established
will be continued, but in addition new
functionaries like those existing in
the other departments will be created.
The home rulers reject the compro-
mise WE'LL threatens to let all Al
sace-Lorraine legislation lie so the
high commissioner and other officials
there will be suppressed, as was the
Vatican embassy, by failure TO pro-
vide funds.
The government must either I'LL the
places of the resigned members of the
commission and pass legislation OBJ
iectionable to the provinces or let the
high commissioner office lapse. In
either case the situation remains

Five minutes later, two men came back from the listening patrol and told us that they had exchanged shots with a strong German patrol, and had woun- ded one of the enemy in the stomach. How do you know it went through his stomach!" asked Bill Teak when he was the sergeant, and he replied, saying; "When we fired one of the Germans. put his hands across his stomach and to the ground yellin' Mein Gutt.
