Tb. Path of the war-Appeal TO the
World.
The London News correspondent forwards
the following translation of an appeal to all
the world, which, Issuing first from the arron-
dissement of Brley, is now circulating among
the authorities of the neighboring arrondlsse-
ments, and which is to be forwarded to Eng
land, America and Germany for publication as
soon as the necessary signatures are ap-
pended:
advance Copy Of an Appeal to bspubllshed.l
To all nentral nations, and to those among
belliperent nations who have pot suffered
hostile invasion in the war of 1870:
We. The people OF those portions OF France
which are occupied by the German armies,
more especially of the departments Mosee,
Mouse. Meurthe and Ardennes, call upon you
for aid. Not for aid 10 enabletls TO destroy
lite, but for aid to maintain human llle, now
and after the advent of the peace which all the
world desires. Most generous sympathy for
the sick and wounded has been manifested by
those whom we now address; muni1cent hands
have poured healing balms upon the direct
victims of wars dreadful engines; brave hearts
have interpOsed to stay the sweep OF the Des-
troying Angels scythe; while yet other mise
ries. a little farther from view, put wider ,ar ID
their threatened extent, have been overlook
ed The people of France depend Tor their
subsistence OIL the grains which they raise aud
the cattle which they breed. In the sections OF
country that have been traversed by the German
armies nothing remains OF the provisions tnat
had been accumulated 10 time Ol peace. Our
houses, stables and barns are burned or rlodled
with cannon shots. The fields or meadows are
trampled down by the tread OF embauled
hosts. Neither cereals nor grass have been
harvested this autumn. All our beasts of bur-
den, all our beeves, sheep and swine, nave
been taken from us. Our laborers are either
pressed into the French army as soldiers. or
into the German army as teamSters. There
remains not even seed corn. We are destitute
of strength to prepare the trampled gronRi no Ior
seed for next years harvest; destitute OF ma
terial 10 sow; destitute, in many places, OF
ground TO SOW upon; as miles upon miles OF
territory are made invlolable by the plough.
by reason Of the sacred ana torriole SEED OF
human corpses with which they have been
soWn. Starvation stares us In the face now;
famine and pcstilence are the legacies which
war will surely leave to us for the coming win
ter and spring; the cry Of children begging the
father lor bread, which he hSs pot. is already
upon the air; :whitskt tha taara01 housoless Wld,
ows and orphans, falling upon the open field
where these untortunaLes camp, prevent Inc
blood.spots from drying.
You. our British brethren, know the COM
fort and security of land where ''evcry mans
house Is his CASTLE" you have, for centuries,
NOT felt the rayages Uf Invasion; fancy the de.
struction of all your means OF subsistence, anu
then refuse, II you can, to helpIand nclp
quickly-yolr neishbors who are perlshlng.
You our American brethren, must know the
desolatIon In which We live; yet you have
been quickly restored; your country is natu-
rally rich, ours is naturally poor; our resources
bear no comparison with yours; the suuerinSS
here will be inelTably greater than 1t was with
you.
You, our brethren OF the entire human
famiiy-not even excepting those OF vlclorl-
ous Germany, who surely, we oelieVe, 10 not
wish our annihilation-we impl0re you, come
10 the rescue.
