A curious question of definition has
recently been raised by Senor CASTELAR,
and settled by the Spanish Academy
The academy dictionary of the Spanish
language is periodically revised and
brought up to date under the supervision
of that institution. In the new edition
the word '.Alsatian" was originally de
fined as .'native of Alsace. Il region be.
longing TO the German Empire" Senol
CASTELAR, took exception to this on the
ground that Alsace was retained by
force, and that the last word had moi
been spoken on the subject. During
the Austrian domination in Italy. he
said, Venice and Milan were not spoken
of as Austrian. Alsace and Lorraine
he argued, are precisely in the samt
situation. In this protest he was sup
ported by other Spanish writer's of note
| Finally, the academy unanimously de
cided that the word ''Alsatian' shoule
be defined simply as 81 native of Al
SAGE" Whether this resolution wa
adopted in the heat of the Caroline
Islands controversy does not appear.
