! FRENCH FRONT.—In nearl;
' every newspaper printed in Ger
many at the present moment ther
is presented some kind of a schem
' for the solution of the question o
: j Alsace-Lorraine. Whet the Get

virtually every real Alsatian am

I either to the Ger nan empire or an;
I of its component federal states
The latest method of disposinj

j proposes their division betweei
j Prussia and Bavaria, Lorraine tc
' | be taken by the former and Alsac<
; 1 by the latter- This proposition, no
. i only is rejected by the inhabitant:
'of the provinces themselves, but ha:
aroused protests from several oi
the German states, and especiallj
from \V uerttemburg. Consequent!}
for the time being it has been al
lowed to drop in favor of two othei
j schemes, both unsatisfactory tc
jsome of the German parties.
J The first of them looks to the
formation of an independent state
of Alsace-Lorraine under the rule
of a duke, while the second formu
lates the foundation of a republic
of Alsace-Lorraine attached to the
! German empire. Both of them have
been widely discussed but without
bringing about any conclusion, and
should either of them be accepted
by the Germans, it is believed the
people of the two provinces would
have nothing to do with it.
As the correspondent of The
Associated Press has found in dis
cussing the matter with the Alsa
tians and Lorrains of all classes, the
only desire of these people is to be
reunited to France, with which they
have remained, in spite of the Ger
man annexation, closely allied in
all their ideas and in all their souls.
They recall frequently in the course
of their conversations the words
uttered by President Wilson:
“The wrong caused by Prussia to
France in 1871 must be redressed
in order that peace may be estab
lished in the interest of all.”
AUSTRALIANS CELEBRATE
GALLIPOLI ANNIVERSARY
L.UADUrs*.—The third anniversary
of the Australian landing at Galli
poli was observed throughout Eng
land in every camp and city where
there are Australian soldiers. At
Westminister Cathedral in London,
the high commissioners of Australia
and New Zealand and many officers
and men attended a special memorial
service, and similar services were
held in many churches in various
parts of England.
The special feature of the day’s
observance, however, was a series
of pilgrimages made to the graves
of 1.200 Australian soldiers who
have been buried in England and
Scotland since the war began. Par
ties of Australians visited cemeteries
from Plymouth to Dundee, where
Anzac soldiers lie, and laid wreaths
and flowers on the graves. Ar
rangements have been made for the
placing of flowers every year upon
these honored graves.
PARIS CHATEAU “sECiTrED

NEW YORK.—Announcement has
been received here that Jacques
Seligmann,. of Paris and New York,
has guaranteed the rent for three
years of the Chateau Madrid in Bois
de Boulogue, Paris, and has placed
the Chateau at the service of blind
ed soldiers of the Allied forces.
Owners of property in the origi
nal townsite of Douglas may now se
cure titles to their property on ap
plication to the land office at Ju
neau and on payment of a fraction
of over two per cent of the valua

appraised at less than $100. The
levy and valuations made by the
trustee have been accepted officially
by the Douglas city council.

- ] the ears of workers in munition
; ■ factories has been suggested in Eng.
■ I land as a means of lessening the
PI growing number of accidents arising
- from efforts to increase speed in
11 production.
■ “Speed of production inevitably
' tends to a more than porportionate
I I increase of accidents," says the re
• | port of an investigator for the
j Munition Workers’ Committee, re
: ceived here in consular dispatches,
i , “Accidents depend on the main on
, i carelessness and lack of attention
I ; of the workers, and So the more
i I one can eliminate this lack of at
II tention and increase concentration
upon work, the more will accidents
i be reduced.
“One wants to induce in all the
workers throughout their hours of
labor the same mental outlook as is
j present in the night-shift workers
I in the early hours of the morning.
I These workers have for the most
part forgotten the pleasures and ex
j citements indulged in shortly before
i coming on night shift, and they
have nothing but an unexhilarating
| breakfast and bed to look forward
to after quitting.
“Such a mental state is impossible
of achievement by the day-shift
workers, but something in the way
of mental calm and equilibrium can
be attained by stopping all con
versation except that relating to
the work in hand. If the workers
would consent to it, it would be a
i
good plan to induce temporary deaf
ness by plugging the ears, and so
shut out the noise of machinery,
which is in itself an important cause
of distraction and fatigue.
“Again, if it were practicable, it
would be of value to shut out the
sight of surrounding objects, by
separating the lathes or other ma
chines from one another by parti
tions.
“At a fuse factory, when the
operatives were working a 12-hour!
day, the women’s accidents were
two and one-half more numerous
than in the subsequent 10-hour pe
riod; but the men’s accidents showed
no difference. At all the factor
ies inquired into, the night-shift

IDLE LAND OF ENGLAND
TURNED INTO PRODUCER
LONDON.—The big war revival
in agriculture is producing many in
teresting experiments in the grow
ing of new crops on land not in use
for growing human food. For ex
ample, a big area in the country
is now, on the suggestion of the
food production department, planted
with sunflowers, the seeds of which
are valuable both as a source of oil
I and for poultry food.
j Small cultivators are also urged
I b>’ the government to sow sugar
beet as an important food for stock,
especially for pigs. Farmers whose
cereal crops have failed owing to
attacks from different kinds of para
jsites are advised to grow linseed.
The latest reports from the country
show unprecedented activity in po
tato planting in spite of the bad
spring weather. j
