AFFAIRS IN THE SAAR.
STRICT REGULATIONS. RESTRICTION OF LIBERTIES. RESENTED BY RESIDENTS. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. (Received Dec. 28, 2.30 P.m.) LONDON, Dec. 27. The Daily Telegraph’s Saarbrucken correspondent says the new passport regulations are so strict that the Saar is practically cut off from the remainder of Europe. Only journalists and other visitors, on proving legitimate business, are allowed to visit the territory. The local population is taking with ill grace the restriction of their accustomed liberties of using the wine and beer halls until four o’clock in the morning. All parties are required to conform to the midnight curfew, which is being enforced to prevent the possibility of political incidents in the small hours, when they previously frequently occurred. Mr Geoffrey Knox, the head of the Governmental Commission, made a Christmas presentation to 2000 poor children in the Saar.
