RESTORED PROVINCES
DISCONTENT IN ALSACE DESIRE FOR AUTONOMY ATTACK ON THE PREMIER * By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Nov. 25, 5.5 p.m. Paris, Nov. 21. Tumult reigned in the Chamber of Deputies during the discussion of the Alsace-Lorraine Budget. The Alsatian Communist, M. Huebelt, began to speak in German, when the Vice-President of the Chamber ruled him out of order; whereupon the Communist Duelos attacked M. Poincare, declaring that all he did in war time was to retire to Bordeaux. M. Poincare jumped up and said: “I obeyed the Government's orders.” A storm of protests drowned M. Duclos’ retort. M, Huebert then recommenced bis speech in German, only ceasing under a threat of suspension. M. Duelos continued the debate. He was constantly interrupted, especially during his references to the autonomist movement in Alsace, which provoked lively protests from the Alsatian deputies. He proposed a private Bill allowing speeches in German, provided they are translated.
