Pine Street, Corner William, New York Harrisburg Office—Kunkel Building FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRJLPH JANUARY 25, 1918 ALSACE-LORRAINE IS ! CLAIMED BY GERMANS [Continued from First Page.] in a negative way, however. Tile German chancellor stated specifically j that Germany agreed with the first four poiittN in President Wilson's j world peace program, which cover, the abolition of secret diplomacy, j freedom of the seas, equality of trade! conditions and reduction of national armaments. The chancellor thought some difficulties would be met rc-j garding the fifth point, which treated i with colonial adjustments and as serted the principle that the inter ests of the population concerned mus have equal weight with the claims of the government -whose title was to be determined. Sees Trouble Ahead Austria was primarily concerned with points nine, ten and eleven in President Wilson's speech. Chan cellor Von Hertling pointed out, but Germany's interests would be de fended energetically wliero they were involved. These points touch upon the readjustment of the Italian frontiers along clearly recognizable lines of nationality, free opportunity for the autonomous development of the peoples of Austria-Hungary, and with the Balkans question including demands for the evacuation of Bu rn'tuia, Serbia and Mo* -eeK.o with fr< e access to the'sei for Set Ida The chancellor unx notably specific In his treatment of the Alsnce-I.or rnlne question, declaring thl* terri tory was originally German, tlint It had been taken by force from <er iiiiut possession and that the cession of 1871 IVaN merely a restoration. While Count Von Hrtling found Premier Lloyd George more concili atory in Ills recent speech than for merly, showing more of an inclina tion for negotiations, he did not con sider him yet as giving due consid eration to Germany's "political, eco nomic and cultural position," while he was found "charging her with being guilty of all possible crimes." l.enKiir of Peace As to the question of a League of Peace, the chancellor said Germany would be ready to discuss that after all the other questions had been set tled. * Count Czernin, Austria's spokesman, in his address dealt at some length with ( the Russian question. He de clared Austria-Hungary did not desire a meter at territory nor a centime of indemnity from Russia, and thought there were not sufficient differences in the Russian and the German view points of self-determinatian to jus tify an abandonment of the negotia tions now in progress at Brest-Li tovsk. The Polish question, he de clared, must not delay the bringing about of peace by a single day. Austria anil tiermany Aurrr Austria and Germany were In vir tual agreement on to principles to govern conditions lifter the war, fount Cscrnln stated. As contrasted with the declaration by Chancellors Von Hertling and Count Czernin before the legislative bodies of their respective nations, there comes to-day a statement by Leon Trotzky, Russia's foreign min ister, before the Brest-Litov.sk peace conference. 111 its practical working out, he said, "the Austro-German position had made it clear that Austria and Germany were giving the doctrine of self-determination an illusory char acter by their refusal to evacuate occupied territory. "Practically," said the Russian spokesman, "it means that the governments of Austria and Germany take into their own hands the-destiny of these nations."

One of the most important developments of this dinner was the decision to in clude the assembly or banquet hall which was eliminated in the re vision of the plans last spring. Some time ago President AVallow er addressed a letter to the stock holders and others interested in which he presented the great need for some such hall .n me big hotel. Harrisburg is a great convention city and and it is highly necessary to provide adequate facilities for the almost daily conferences and con ventions held here. It was stated by the architect that this large banquet room could be more economically constructed during the building of the hotel proper than later, inas much as there would be considerable saving not only in material but in labor which woulrl be lost should the hotel be finished on the revised lincH ,and later remodeled.

It will be forty-two feet wido and eighty feet long and will easily accommodate several hundred peo ple. There will be a gallery for the public and for an orchestra. There will also be provisions for moving pictures and illustrated lectures. A segmental arch ceiling without col umns and an oak floor will be fea tures. Several of the directors at once subscribed some thousands of dol lars necessary to authorize this im portant feature of the hotel and other stockholders have also Indi cated their purpose to subscribe to the additional funds necessary. The assembly room will be ap proached from the second or parlor floor. On this floor will also be one large and two small private dining rooms and one small assembly hall with accommodations for fifty or more people. Upon the second "floor will also be parlor, bedroom and batli suites, fronting Walnut and Third streets. During the dinner Mr. Wallower called upon his guests, one after an other, and there were many clever after-dinner speeches, each having something to say of the long and hopeful struggle for the big hotel and the interesting little incidents leading up to the accomplished fact. As a conijiliment to the president and in appreciation of his energy and public spirit, it was decided that the convention and banquet room shall be known as V:: Slower Hall. Frank A. Dudley, president of the United Hotels Company, and Fred erick W. Rockwell, of Albany, vice president of the same company, told in detail of the various steps which have been taken preliminary to the decoration and furnishing of the hotel and also of certain features of the management. Both these offi cials strongly recommended the banquet and convention hall as a necessary feature. Many compliments were paid those who have directly borne the burden of the big enterprise and there was' general .'intisfaction ex pressed with the progress of the great structure in the midst of the most severe winter of a generation. Those present were Edward Bailey, ex-Mayor J. William Bowman, Hen derson Gilbert, Edwin S. Herman, William T. Hildrup, Jr., William Jennings, E. J. Stackpole, A. C. Stamm, David K. Tracy, William P. Starkey, Warwick M. Ogelsby, W. J.,. Stoddart, Frank A. Dudley and Frederick W. Rockwell. Mr. Dudley explained the plans for the southern automobile tour which is being organized and which will start at Harrlsburg and run through Birmingham, New Orleans and Florida points.
