In Rhine province, on the left bank of the Rhine, it was stipulated that the Germans should not be permitted to establish fortifications, occupy the territory with forces or control the railways. On the Alsace-Lorraine line it was demanded that the Rhine should be the natural frontier of France. The Treaty of Paris in 1814 pro- vided that France renounce all claims on Belgium and the left bank of the Rhine, and return to boundaries as they existed in 1792, before the revo- lution. This compelled France to confine herse]f to the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, west of Rhine, those territories having been under French control since 1689. It was erroneously reported from Paris that France demanded the re- turn of her 1914 frontiers, which would exclude Alsace-Lorraine from her claims. ! Claims to the Saar basin on the northwest, which the 1814 boundary is said to divide, are based on repara- tion for the destruction of France's great coal mines at Lens, which may be ruined for all future purposes. Germany derived her supply of coal for the big industrial plants of the armed! the! in Long Run Thru Saving to Car Owners. “Register your new voters and help pass the bond issue,” word Rep. P. W.

AMERICAN MILITARY POLICY NOT “Your labor interests should be one of the greatest factors in promot- ing its success,” he said. “The bond issue means $6,000,000 in the pockets of Wyoming laboring men, it meal half a million for Natrona county alone, and above all it means good road construction that will effect a saving to every owner of a motor vehicle of an amount more than suf- ficient to meet the higher automobile tax, which will eventually retire the’ bonds without direct taxation. “No program for road building | ever advanced has been so eminent-} ly satisfactory and practicable and| it would be nothing less than a calam- ity for the issue to fail.
