Lorraine Proposal They May Hatg
Belgiau luiit'penuerce Out Kexi '
By United Press.
London Oct. 12. Following a fail-
ure of Germany to sow discord among
the allies regarding Alsace-Lorraine
tho next step is expected to be the

Such a step it is believed will be
doomed to failure because the war
issues have now gone far beyond the
Belgian question.
