This is Liberty Day-the day that the
people of America those who have enlisted

ALSATIANS AND GERMANY

Every time the Germans take time from

selves by proclaning to the world that
they will always hold Alsace-Lorraine and
that in this they are justified. as this terri
cry, which they took from France in 1870,
was originally German territory and be-
longed of right to- the German crown In
other words, they hold that they simply
restored to GERMANY what was Gernany's.
For justification they like to point to the
German names of the towns and the Ger

place these mans on all the official maps.
So far as the towns are concerned, as
Alsace-Lorraine has been under the Prus-
sian heel for the last 40 years. it has not
ben hard to impos German names and place
these names on all the o. .cial maps.
The fact remains that in their hearts the
people of these conquered provinces remain
French. They remain loyal to their tri-
color
A mere glance at history serves to show
how many Alsatians with distinctly Ger
man-sounding names were loval sons of
Franc and did their best to fight Germany
and Germanism.

demolished the last of the Prussian forces
at Jena. 1t was Dietrich. mavor of Strass-
burg, in whose house Rouget de Lisle
wrote the immortal "Marseillaise.'
