Therefore both Princeton and Yale

Grape Festoons Torn
 Down By Alsatians

Paris, Aug. 10. 7:30 A. M., via Lon don, Aug. 1.-The crape festoors which for forty years have hung from the monument of the city of Strass- burg, capital of Alsace-Lorraire, which stands in the Place de La Con- corde, were torn down today and re- placed with flowers and palm branch es, while a tri-colored sash was draped about the figure.
 The ceremony was conducted Ey 2,O0O members of the federation of Alsatian societies in Paris. Joseph Sansboeuf, mayor of the eighth ar rondissement, embraced the statue and then addressing the gathering said "The hour of revenge for which we have prayed unceasingly for forty four years has at last struck. The French army is in Alsace. The rod trousers are again seen on our plains and mountains. The gay bugles of France sounded the charge at Att kirch and Muelhausen."
 There were few who were not in tears as the speaker concluded. The signing of the Marseillaise followed by cheers for Belgium. Russia and England ended the ceremony.
