Paris, April 16-Baron Denys-

Office in charge of blockade questions,

dents on the Entente blockade policy
against Germany. said:
"Dr. Won Bethann- Hollweg. the Ger
man Chancellor. and DR.. Alfred Zim-
hermann, the German Foreign SecLe-
tary, in their recent declarations
sought TO throw upon the Entente the
responsibility for a continuance of
bloodshed. They talked of a blockade
which, it was asserted. was causing
the death of women and children The
Entente is not at all responsible for a
situation which 1t did not create and
which grows out of the most unquali-
fed aggression. The blockade. such as
the Germans understand it, docs not
resemble in any way that which we
have organized and which we are pur-
suing.

as citizens of the second class.
I'VE were considered good enough to
be street cleaners and railroad hands;
occasionally a native rose to the dis
tinction of railroad conductor, but that
was the limit. There was opposition
TO everything that smelt of Germany.
THE attitude of the Germans
toward the population Of Lorraine
during the war is striking proof that
they do not believe what they say of
the loyalty of Lorraine to Germany.
Arrests were made by hundreds, Of
priests and notable citizens. A great
number of women attached to the
German police were brought to Metz
from Berlin and distributed among the
population to surprise conversations,
provoke indiscretions and give pretext
for arrest.

was then we demanded that the Ger
mans get out and leave the place to
the natives of Alsace and Lorraine.
Our first hope, in spite of all, was
to return to France, though at times
we had the painful sentiment that
France was forgetting us. We or
ganized the Souvenir Francois
throughout Lorraine and it did won
ders to revive French sentiment and
reawaken French patriotism in Lor-
raine. The Germans broke up the
Souvenir Francois, then we organized
the Souvenir Lorraine which was the
same thing under a new name.
"a third of the population of Lor-
raine knows not a word of German.
About 100000 know both French and
German imperfectly while on the Ger
man frontier a German patois is
spoken.
THE Alsatians have been well called
The Gascons of the North because of
their ready wit. The people of Lor-
raine are colder and more reserved
perhaps more patient and persistent.
THE Alsatians as soon as they re-
covered from the first stupor of the
German invasion poked fun at the i'm
migrants. The people of Lorraine
drew themselves up in naughty dis
dain. They opposed the force of in
ertia-passive resistance to the ag
gressions of the invader and the Ger
man in Lorraine has never ceased to
be regarded as an invader.
There were more carpet baggers in
Lorraine than in Alsace. While every

UNINTERRUPTED PROTEST
AGAINST GERMANISM
(Ass0ciated Press Correspondent

Associated Press Correspondence
Paris. April 1T lived through 43
wears of unfaltering and uninterrupt-
ed protest against German domination
in Lorraine, and l can tell you that
Lorraine does not want to be Ger
man." said Canon Collin of Metz, TO
The Associated Press.
Canon Collin was one Of the most
notable residents of the annexed pro-
vince of Lorraine; his name was third
on the German imperial list Of sus-
meets to he shot when war broke out.
The French counter espionage in
formed him of the fact and he escaped
into Luxembourg before the war be-
gan.
They did me too much honor in
placing me so high on the list" the
Canon added, "for my sentiments were
no more anti-German than those of the
whole people of Lorraine.
THE policy of the population of both
provinces for 43 years may be summed
up in the word protest in three de-
grees: first, official protest against
German occupation and in favor of re-
naming French: second, protest
against the interference of Germans in
our local affairs; third. demand for the
autonomy of Alsace and Lorraine; al
though there were different degrees
and different stages. there was never
any cessation or diminution of our re-
sistancc.
After fifteen years of this official
protestation began the regime of die
tatorship and passports, with the OBJ
ject of annihilating that resistance, but
it was continued through the press and
at the polls at every election. Protest
survived the dictatorship. after which
