D. 9 UNREST GERMANY PEACE PLOT IS EVIDENCE Berlin's Claim to Alsace-Lorraine on Ground of Karly Possession Is Refuted by Jules Cam bon, Foreign Secretary. 1 PARIS, Juno 21. Jules CamKon, gen eral secretary of the Ministry of For eign Affairs, declared that the entrance of America into the war had caused serious unrest In Germany, In the course of an Interview with a corre spondent of the Associated Press today. He said: "In the hearts of the French people .who welcomed General Pershing there was, first of all. the desire to reply Tto the enthuslastio reception which the American people grave the French delegates, but there was also something- else equally important. A feel ing of serious unrest was caused in Germany by the entry Into the struggle of a country which brings to the allies, together with its entire strength, a freshness and ardor which have not been diminished by three years of war. Germany feels that the Americans, once engaged in the struggle, will not give up. It is to prevent this cement ing of close ties that it is multiplying its efforts to spread dissension among the allies. Swiss Intrigue Is Evidence. "The- Incident of the Swiss Socialist Orlmm's intrigue in Russia reveals Germany's handiwork and is one of the straws showing how uneasy and troubled Berlin is because of America. In France everyone realizes that this uneasiness and fear are Justified." In regard to the publication of the peace programme of the German ma jority Socialists at Stockholm, SL Cam bon said: "It proves that their alms coincide with those of their government, es pecially on the AlBatian "question, which is to be the big question when ne gotiations begin. The American public must know that all our questions, such as those concerning economic, colonial, maritime, indemnity and Belgian mat ters, must yield before it and according to its solution posterity will know who triumphed." ' M. Cambon then refuted the claim that Alsace-Lorraine was originally German territory which was wrested away by the French. He said that Lorraine was French in population and language and was given to France by treaty in the, eighteenth century. As for Alsace, the Minister said that it came to France as a reward for French services in the Thirty Years' War, and while its mixed population spoke Ger man, it always preferred French domi nation. 1 Alsatians Desire Ghaaxe. I The Alsatians, continued iL Cambon, 'Were faithful and genuine patriots who Were now counting on President Wil son's doctrine that people should be governed according to their desires. Kefcrrlng to President Wilson's Flag day address, the Foreign Secretary said that It was a great success in France because of the precision of the Presi dent's declaration, the loftiness of his viewpoint and the moderation with which he expressed his war aims. "Many Frenchmen." he continued, "count on President Wilson to maintain the moral character of the war and Interpret for the allies the high ideal which animates all." Turning to the Greek situation, M. Cambon said that the French govern ment did not think it necessary to take any coercive measures regarding Con stantine's residence, because his role henceforth was estimated as uninflu-ential.

SITVTVOTT TO OFFER AMEND- MEM TO FOOD BILK.. of ending the submarine menace. Cap tain Kuehlwetter blames the good weather for the falling off In number of submarine victims. He argues that the weather permits small submarine chasers to venture further to sea. to shoot better and to detect periscopes easier. In this argument the critic is quite Impartial, as he equally blames storms for the failure to secure better re sults in May. The other well-schooled naval writers generally follow the Ad miralty Instructions to treat the May results as practically as satisfactory as those of April and to describe the entente counter measures as a com plete failure. They all accept the es timate of the Wolff bureau, the offi cial news agency, that new tonnage is only one-fifth of that destroyed. 10,000 AVIATORS URGED AMERICA COVLD EVD WAR WITH FLYERS, SAY FRENCHMEN.

Mr. Slnnott takes the position that the food bill Is designed to Increase crop production next year and there after, as well as to increase the food supply this year, and as the building of new irrigation projects will help accomplish this end. and as Oregon has several feasible projects which can be built when money is available, he thinks his amendment germane. He says there are .at least two proj ects in Oregon, partially completed, which could be made ready for crops next season. If work should begin within a month.

Fair Commander Already Veteran, Having Sustained Two Wounds While on Firing Line Male Soldiers Not Friendly. PETROGRAD, June 21. The "Com mand of Death." which is the official title of the women's regiment raised by the twice wounded girl officer Vera Buitchkareff, will bo reviewed today by Minister of War Kerensky. The regi ment will have its first public parade Sunday and will leave in a fortnight for the front, probably for the Minsk sector. Tho Associated Press correspondent, who visited tha barracks in Torgvaga street, found posted at the gate a little blutf-eyad sentry in a soldier's khaki blcuse, short breeches, green forage cap, ordinary woman's black stockings and neat shoes. The sentry was Mary a Skrydloff, daughter of Ad miral Skrydloff, ex-commander of the Baltic fleet and Minister of Marine. Inside there wera four large dormi tories, the beds without bedding and strewn with heavy soldier's overcoats. In tho courtyard 300 girls were at drill, mostly between 18 and 25 years or age, or good physique and many of them pretty. They wore their hair short or had their heads entirely shaved. They were drilling under tho instruction of a male sergeant of the Volynsky Regiment and inarched to an exaggerated goose step. Girls Highly Educated. Commander Lieutenant Buitchkareff explained that most of the recruits were from the higher educational academics or secondary schools with a few peasants, factory girls and servants. Some married women were accepted but none who had children. The girl commander said: "We apply the- rigid system of dis cipline of the pre-revolutlonary army. rejecting the new. principle of eoldler self-government. Having no time to Inure the girls gradually to hardships, we Impose a Spartan regime from the first. They sleep on boards without bedclothes, thus immediately ellmlnat ing the weak. Tho smallest breach of discipline is punished by expulsion In disgrace. "The ordinary soldier o food is fur nished by the guards' equipage corps. We rise at 4 and drill dally from 7 to 11 and again from 1 to 6. The girls carry the cavalry carbine, which Is five pounds lighter, than the regular army rifle. On our first parade I re quested any girl whose motives were frivolous to step out. Only one did so, but later many who were unable to stand tho privations left us. Official Recoa-nlrloa Given. "We are fully official and are al ready entered on tlje list of regiments. Lnitormi and auppiies ara received from the Ministry of War, to which we render account and present reports. Yesterday the commander of the Petro grad military district reviewed us and expressed his satisfaction. I am con vinced that wa will excel tha mala fighters."
