The course of this Kelchland'a history is recognised as one of the most algnitt cant In the story of the world. Through | a multitude of other causes of the hol ocaust In Europe, the rase of Alsace Lorraine presents Itself with a grow ing significance. It I* here that Pros' Kia initiated her grand mistake anil, through the forcible cession of this ?tate, engineered the hatreds and "Welt-PWitik- for which she Is pay ing now with all that humankind hold most dear and precious. In 1872, when the German confeder ation was formed, this booty land was considered as a prlee of the confeder ate as a whole, with the regulative powers vested In the king of Prussia. The state was permitted to send dele gates to the reichstag, but could not j be represented in the bundesrat, the j real power In governmental Germany. 'With the usual aslninity of German i officialdom, the assimilation of the peo ple was hurried, and harried by most unwise and impossible meas ures. The Idea seems to have been that an assimilation could take place In one, or, at the most, two gpnera tlons. and that It could be effected while the people paid Pro salon taxes and were not granted repreaentatlon In the laying of said taxes. At a necessary vent to human nature, the result was the fallare of Praasiau po lice methods all during the first thirty yean of the occupation. What' hap- j pened after that in Metz, Colmer. Strassboarg and Mulhouae we ahall see. Prussian Misrule. The yf?r 1910 marks the new pe riod of Prussian misrule. The use of French was stringently forbidden on tombstones, in courts of Justice, in the schools and In public gatherings. In deed. severe punishment has been meted out for the use of the French language In certain private and semi piivate gatherings. German Immigrants shipped Into the Relchsland bred children, only to hare them take sides with the indigenous population In their clamor for annexa tion to Germany on an equal taxis with the other German states. This Istter point, contrary to general belief, was actually Just what the Alsatians agitated for. French culture and Ideals began to have their effect when all importunities and pleadings for a relaxation of Prussian oppressive methods and a representation In the government failed. Prussian rale remained Inflexible. Guarantee* and alterations were promised and seemingly complied with, only to have the people discover, when the smoke of Prussian blond duplicity cleared away, that they were bound more helplessly than ever. In the spring of 1012 the Prussians farther showed their disapproval of the agitatloh engendered by attempt ing to ruin the Alsatian factories at Grafenstaden. near Strasbourg. l>y withdrawing all orders for locoino- i Uvea for the Prussian railways. In the month Of May. In this same year, the popular indignation, already Inflamed, was fanned to fever heaj by I the remarks of the German emperor ? to the mayor of Strasbourg, during an Imperial visit to the city. He 1? re- I ported to have said: , I "Listen. Op to here you have only i known the good aide of me. Things i rannot continue ns they are. If this I situation lasts, we will suppress your i constitution' and annax you to Prns- i ?U." Alaatlan newspaiiera were held to a > narrow course hy a moat severe code | of tawa. but suspensions were taking i place every day. To be profttnhle, a 1 lonrnal could do naught elae hnt sup- I port the Berlin policies. A school of curtooolsts cane to the fore, and. by it aerie* of caustic and meaning car toon*. Indicted Berlin till the official* In their fury, began placing prt*on aentencea Indiscriminately among car toonist* and Journalists. And so. France, who had represent ed to the heroes of 1703 the beau-Ideal of democracy, came gradually to the fore a* the influence In Alsace-Lor raine. Her culture, her Ideals and her cttUenahlp became valued dream* of loyal Alsatian*. Bat far off dreams they Deemed: and the Alsatians, In their growing love for the republic, could not harbor the thought that France should suffer the throes of a war with remorseless Prussia for their sake. But the war wax coming, and to Alaatlana It meims as all observers agree, a reunion with France. But queer enough, the world be gins to aee that the treaty of Frank fort was the geraa of the present holo caust, and that It leads to the utter destruction of Prussian autocracy and world autocracy?that Alsace-Lorraine had been picked to bear the cross?to suffer that the world might he re lieved from the burden on the should- | ers of all humans, from Herod down to Wllhelm. jS BROTHERS KNIT FOR BROTHER IN FRANCE & S Columbus.
