FRANCE AND ALsACE-LORRAINH

FRANCE AND ALSACE-LORRAINE
Germany has taken advantage OF
Franco Russian exchange of courtesios
to browbeat France into apologies for
her premier's Alsace-Lorraine dispatch
and for excesses committed before the
German embassy in Paris on the even
ing Of President Faure's return from
Russia. At present the provinces OF
Alsace. Lorraine are in the possession
OF Germany, but there was a time when
France possessed them and a time
before that when the Germans held
them In fact, they have been a bone
Of contention for long time, and when
the French premier wires to a society
that he hopes that the time will come
when France will repossess them, it is
tantamount to a declaration that he
hopes that some day France will whiI
Germany and take them away from her
1t is safe to predict that France is not
yet ready to try strength with the Ger
mans again, and that the French For
eign Office will satisfy the German
Foreign Office that, while the French
people want Alsace-Lorraine, they dc
not want them bad enough to fight toI
them at this particular time.

The Democracy of Pennsylvania
eowed the wind at Reading and it will
reap the whirlwind at the state election.
The State Committee of the Jefferson
ian Democratic party met in Philadel-
phia yesterday and decided not to put
a ticket in the field. On the face of this
It would seem that the sound money
Democrats intend to acquiesce in the
insult to National Chairman Harrity, but
a careful perusal Of the proceedings OF
the committee shows that it is the
purpose OF the sound money Democrats
to defeat the Reading ticket by voting
with the Republicans. Pennsylvania
is a state in which the Republican
strength is. such that the Democrats
can only hope to win by presenting an
unbroken front to the enemy. That II
cannot do this year, and its defeat is
practically assured. The enemies Of
Mr.. Harrity selected a late day and
poor time to get their revenge upol

Our Addicksite contemporary the
Milford Chronicle, asserts that the in
telligence, thrift and culture of the
state center in Milford and Cedar Creek
hundreds, and that the condition is due
to Republican teaching and influence.
We have nothing to say against the in
telligence of the white people of those
two hundreds, but even the Chronicle
must admit that but for the support OF
the large numbers of ignorant negroes
who arc subject to the control and die
tation of white lieutenants, the two
hundreds would be Democratic at al
times. Therefore, it appears to us
leaving negro ignorance out of th'
question, that in the matter Of intelli
gence, thrift and culture, the Democrats
have a respectable majority.
