BERLIN LOSES
\ RHINE CONTROL
Will Never Again Control
Left Bank, Marshal
Foch Declares
Mannheim, June 6.—When the
project of the Rhenish republic was
first broached. Marshal Foch. Com
mander-in-chief of the Allied armies,
was approached through occupation
officers and asked whether the
Rhinelanders could work for a re
public without the risk of being
disciplined by Germany, according
to the Neue Baden Bandzeitung. The
newspaper states that Marshal Foch
and Premier Clemenceau of France
conferred on the subject and sent a
reply to the Rhinelanders that "The
German government would never
again have anything to do with the
left bank of the Rhine, and hence
the propagandists could not be
punished."
In publishing these facts the news
papers tell of a conference between
Herr Richter and Herr Hofmann,
• Centrist members of the National
Assembly, with General Gerard, of
the French army, on March 8. It is
said that General Gerard was told
that the people of the Rhine pro
vince were overwhelmingly in favor
of an independent state, but were
unable to work for its promotion
because of their fear of the German
government. The project was then,
it was said, taken up with Marshal
Foch and Premier Clemenceau.
Marshal Foch is quoted as saying.
In addition:
"The population of the left bank
of the Rhine may say and think
what it likes, but the establishment
of one, and possibly several inde
pendent states, is inevitable, and,
above all, the Germans will not be
permitted to have anything to say
about the left bank of the Rhine."
Farmers Aid Soldiers
in Securing Farms
in Western Canada
Chicago, June 6.—The co-opera
tive farmers of Western Canada are
aiding the government materially in
settling returned soldiers on farm 3.
When the soldier decides to take
up farming, he is examined first by
the Soldiers' Settlement Board,
which determines his fitness for the
work. It he fails to stand this test,
the board advises him to try some
thing else. If he passes it, he selects
his farm and agrees on the price
with the owner of it. He then ap
plies to the board for a loan on
the land.
The board's first step is to learn
whether he has bought the land atl
a fair price. To do this it calls in !
the services of the United Grain j
Growers' Securities Company, the
co-operative farmers' organization
for appraising land for settlers.
When the Securities Company pre
sents its appraisal, the board pays
over the value of the land, retain
ing a mortgage upon it in favor
of the government.
The soldier next purchases his
farming implements. Here again
the farmers' co-operative organiza
ton lends a helping hand. The
united grain growers have show
rooms in many cities. From the
machines on chibit, the soldier
makes his purchases and equips his
farm. This bill also is paid by
the hoard.
A large per cent, of the returned
veterans are takng advantage of the
government's generous oiler to es
tablish them on the land. In a' :
the larger towns of Canada, the Sol
diers' Settlement Board has head
quarters and almost every day there
are a hundred or more soldiers in
the offices arranging to buy farms.
The government loans go as high
as SB,OOO to an individual soldier.
French Commander
Gets Canadian Moose
Head He Admired
Winnipeg, Man., June 6.—Memo
ries of his recent visit to Canada
will be kept fresh for General Fau
by a giant moose head which will
soon decorate the walls of the vet
eran's home in France.
The head is the finest taken in
Canada during last winter's hunting
season. The horns have a spread
ot fifty-three inches. The trophy,
beautifully moucod, has Just keen
Bern to the Freimh commander as a
present from Manitoba.
The moose was killed in the big
woods between Bake Winnipeg and
Bake Manitoba on the Canadian Na
tional railway about 100 miles north
west of Winnipeg. It was bought at
Moose Horn by James Henderson.
When General Pau toured Canada
and the United States as head of the
French mission, he saw the head at
Winnipeg and greatly admired it
German Prisoner Demands
Derided by Professor
Berne, June 6.—The German propa
ganda against the retention of Ger
man prisoners of war by the allied
Governments does not take into con
sideration what the Germans did in
northern France nor how deeply the
systematic destruction there has in
fluenced allied minds says Prof.
Focrster of the University of Munich
in the Montag, criticising the Ger
man attitude on the prisoner ques
tion.
"The propaganda," he says, "reveals
a lack of psychology and leads one
to think that the new ideas have not
spread everywhere. One of the most
famous of German university men
wrote some time ago that the idea of
detaining the German prisoners of
war recalled the proceedings cf the
ancient Assyrians. It is not neces
sary for the writer to search The
Assyrian annals. Did he really never
hear of the deportation of Belgian
workmen and of the unheard of
methods applied on that occasion?
Does he really not know that hun
dreds of girls were carried away from
occupied French towns and fi reed
to work at hard labor, and does he
not know that most of these girls |
were forced to aid in the destruction I
of the weaving frames in their own j
country? Is he not aware of the
fact that we have ourselves detained
hundreds of thousands of Russian
prisoners, not only after the armis
tice with Russia, but also after the
Brest-Bitovsk peace?
"What impression Is likely to be
made on those who are to determine
the fate of our prisoners by the
fact that tho spokesmen of German
opinion continue to conceal the Ger
man crimes? How would wo feel tc
waid France ,1 our flourishing cities
bad been ruined for years and if, as
we did in & grout many places, our
fruit bearing trees bad been cut down
and only the ordinury trees left?"
