Q
 did not go to interview M. Daniel Blunrenthal because he has come to Washington as member of the French High Commission. Heaven knows, and my wife is still better aware, that I know nothing about finance, high or low; and had it been I'D to me should have loaned the French government, via M. Blumen- thai, any, number of billions right out of MT. McAdoo's treasury.
 But it was as the ex-mayor of Col way 1t is expressed on the large, for slxn-looking card he hands you) that I wished to see and talk to him.
 Now, Colmar isn't the largest nor yet the second largest city in Alsace. But 1t is in the heart of that free dom-lovtng little provice which has been held by Germany like caged eagle ever since 1871. The Hohen- xolIerns have held the bars across Alsace, but they have never been able to clip her wings.
 And if you think they ever will, just talk with Daniel Blumenthal. A little man with . graying beard and round, black, humorous eyes, ] found him In a hotel room packing for another night with the commits l sion. I told. him that since had heard of his famous escape from the | Germans, invading Colmar, I imag- ined he would be- hard man to coerce into an interview. 'To escape from America would be something he assured me, talking with all the fingers on both his hands ''But the Germans! They are what you call it-bone-in-the-he '' --- "It would be doing us a service" said, Ito tell America what Alsace- Lorraine would prefer to be after peace is made-Frer1ch or German ' Do you know" he replied, stand ing straight as a ramrod. that the MarsaIllaise was first sung at Strass- burg? Freedom has always been to us. the passion, and from usl the best blood of the French Revolution went out. Do you think, then, we would have any business with spiked hel- n1ets from Berlin ?''
 I have heard talk in the news 1 papers of a plan to leave the nation aHty of the twin states to a plebes- cite of Alsace-LorrainerA
 "A German-fnade plebescite would be pretty to see," he informed me with smile. '.A1sace could vote with scraps of paper, but never by fair election.
 "Whyf Because she is French te the heart today. and since 1871 she has never forgotten her loyalty to the free republic to which her soul be- longs.
 | German editors write editorials full of learning to show that the chil- dren of Alsace-Lorrafne today are i different from yesterday, because they speak the language which Ser. lin has forced upon them. Eh bien
 DO you know how many Alsace | Lorratners deserted from the Ger. l man army when the war broke our and are now fighting with France Thirty thousand.
