AlSaCe.Lorraine

The average person when he reads German
pronuncamentoes that they will war on forever
rather than consider giving up Asace-L Lorraine,
taken from the French after the war of 1870,
thinks it is due to natural reluctance to give up
something once possessed. But there is more
than sentimental reason
The chances are Germany would not have
made war, and would not have been in the posi-
ton to make war, if it had not been for robbing
France of Alsace-Lorraine
By taking these provinces Germany took over
the Sarre basin with its great coal fields, and the
Briey and Longwy iron deposit How important
these are to Germany is indicated by the fact
that in 1913 Of 100000 tons of iron ore extract
ed in the German empire 21,O0000O were from
the mines which once belonged to the French.
Furthermore the possession of Alsace and Lor-
raine gave the Germans convenient point from
which to spring upon France and seize the inn
portant coal and iron fields that still belong to
that country.
The whole thing therefore, gets down to coal
and iron basis. Allow Germany to hold Alsace
and Lorraine and she is allowed to possess for
ever iron fields essential to her war-making am
bitions
8 The demand Of France that her stolen provinces
be returned to her virtually amounts to demand
for an insurance policy for the peace of Europe.
Take away the iron fields and Germany is like
! savage dog whose teeth have been extracted.

Why Kings?

When Germany and her allies are finally de-
feated this question will echo turnout Europe:
Why kingsf
Almost every week brings forth it's own damn
ing proof Of the danger kings are to the world.

the German kaiser and the Russian czar should
shock the world into realization of that danger.

cabinets and pariaments and all the rest,
willy" and "Nicky" were playing at cross
purposes with each other. There were many af-
fectionate messages to members Of their
spective families. There was on the part of the
kaiser constant attempt to influence the stupid
Russian czar against England, to make him be-
lieve France was not always true to the Russian
ally.
All the time and always the kaiser was seeking
to strengthen himself against the day when he ex-
pected to make an onslaught on Europe
1t is not pretty picture this Of two mere
human beings, like the rest of u.s. toying with the
lives, the fortunes, the future Of millions of men,
And that is why, when all the full story of this
war is known, the question will come mistakenly
upon the lips of men: Why kings?

(United Press Leased Wire.D
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 27.-Op-
ponents of the Won Tirpitz junk
erite "Fatherland party" have
combined to form conservative
German union" according to
Berlin dispatches today.
The new party, 1t was stated,
was instituted specifically to
"neutralize the Fatherland fac

1t is headed by DR.. Grabasky
and DR.. Thimm, both of whom
have recently made vigorous at
tacks on the junketers for their
opposition to characterization.

the new party announces it is OPP

ward securing peace.
The pan-German press is vio-
