ALSACE-LORRA|NE.
FLARE-UP HAL TED
Autonomy Demand May Be
Revived if Paris Ignores
Districts Plea.
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
GENEVA, July lathe movement
Tor autonomy, which recently fiared
up In Alsace- Lorraine, the regained
French provinces. is checked. but is
not dead. Such is the view held by
responsible residents Of the affected
district. as expressed to staff cor
respondent of the Associated Press.
The territories, which We're discon-
tented under SO years of German SOW
ereignty. were popularity deemed to be
pining for restoration to France, of
I which they were an integral part for
three centuries after Louis XIV.
Autonomy Is slumbering latter be-
ing launched tactlessly and prema-
turely by its leaders.
Paris Move Awaited.
Whether 1t will revive depends
seemingly upon whether the central
government at Paris will pay more
heed to the Alsatians' demand for
greater power in local administration
and much less Capitalization in Paris
of matters which the Alsatians believe
they can handle more quickly and bet
>ter themselves, and especially whether
the French government will refrain
from giving away to any temptation
to abolish the concordat, which regu-
lates religious affairs in the affected
provinces, or removes the religious
schools which are Overwhelmingly Ro-
man Catholic.
The people of Alsace-T.orraif1e are
not interested particularly in the pro.
gram to create a local government
and parliament within the framework
OF the French state" This Is indi-
Z Gated in a manifesto by agitators.
which declares that Alsace. with its
textiles, potash. metallurgy and
cereals. is one of the richest districts
in the world. and undoubtedly more
prosperous than ever before. ever
under German rule. when 1t possessed
a local parliament.
Is Europe's Spoiled Child
Alsace is the spoiled child OF Eu
rope, somewhat pulled with impors
lance because so long courted both
by France and Germany. As one dis,
finguished Alsatian told the CORE,
epondent:
eve are AFFLICTED here with the nal
ady of comparison. We are conpar.
ing our lot under France with what
It might have been had we stayed with
Germany. and checking up under dis
advantages Of French sovereignty
with the advantages possessed while
under German rule.
The Alsatians- lost huge sums BY
investing their fortunes In German
marks, and now are fearful that the
decline of the franc seriously will az
feet local prosperity"
1t has been charged that the recent
campaign for autonomy WAS inspired
partly by German agents, who wished
partly to embarrass France at , Ills
moment of French national difficulty
There also is sentiment among some
OF the population. Including the peas
ants, that they were paying more
taxes than the people Of France
proper.

COUNTY TO BUY TRACT
Council Votes to Purchase Site
School Planned.

Marion County council today vot-
ed to purchase a tract of land ad-
joining the colored orphans home
at Twenty-Fifth ST. and Keystone
Ave-, for $11 900. The seven and
one-half-acre strip is owned by j..
Rau.
The Indianapolis school board
agreed to erect new school on the
site if the county purchased the
ground. After some members pro-
tested on giving the site to the
school city the council decided to
leave that to the discretion Of COM
-missioners.
The original ordinance proposed
to buy the land for $10.500, but it
was learned there was $4,298 in Bar
rett law payments due on the prop
erty. An amendment provided for
purchase for $11 900 clear of incum-
brance.

There win be a new head to the
women's bureau in the Republican
State organization.
She will be selected by the State
district chairwomen, who have been
summoned to meet here "wednesday
for that purpose.
When Mrs. Wheatcraft was named
to the position less than two weeks
ago after = protracted sght made
against her which had the support
os Chairman Clyde Wal5.. the .nt!r,a-
ton was made that her selection
was the result oe a compromise by
which Mrs. Wheatcraft would be
taken to the national congressional
committee. assigned to duty out
side the State and some one else
selected.
Mrs. Wheatcraft at that time de-
clared that she would not resign
the position and that any effort to
depose her would be met with a
fight by her friends.
The call for a meeting Of the
State committee to meet at once to
name a head Of the women's bureau,
automatically suggests that Mrs.
Wheatcraft and Chairman Walb de-
sired their advice.

enemies Of Mrs. Wheatcraft have

Miss Sleeth has been one Of the con.
sistent friends OF Mrs. Wheatcrsft
during the months n which she has
been compelled to wage a dramatic
political battle to retain her leader
ship.
That she has now yielded to some
extent for the sake of harmony in
the ranks is interpreted as meaning
that Senator Watson has become
alarmed at the strength of opposi.
ition and is calling upon his faith
full friends to sacrifice themselves
for the sake of harmony in the
party itself.
The disaffection in many sources
is said to be so wide spread that

PROTESTS RIVER DAM
White River Project Opposed by

An objection against construction
Of a dam across the Wabash River
near Logansport was filed-today with
the Federal Power Commission by
State Conservation Director Richard

The Federal commission recently
granted preliminary permit to the
Wabash Hydro Electric Company to
build the dam, preparatory to cree

station. Lieber takes the position
that the dam is liable to impair navl-
