In that dim period when human history was

There is just one thing that 1t is ap-
proprlate 20 say at this time about the
situation in Pctr0grad. Whether TrOt-
zky and Lenine are in German pay or
not. they are serving German ends de-
iberately and all that they say and all
that they do deserve to be treated as
detail in German propaganda.
The latest exposure Of Allied war
aims is too contemptibly Insignificant
TO warrant discussion. No one has
ever attempted TO conceal the fact that
the French desired Alsace-LOrraine.
None but German sympathizers and
agents have ever endeavored to dispute
the moral claim of France to her lost
provinces. over and over again French
Prime Ministers, French statesmen and
French citizens have declared the un-
alterable determination Of France TO
repOssess what was once hers France
did not precipilate this war 10 regain
Alsace-L Lorraine. France was attacked by
Germany brutally and without semb-
lance of reason Since the war has re-
opened the question Of Alsace-Lorraine,
France purposes to regain her PROV
inces, and every American should, as
most Americans do, desire to see this
accomplished
The purpose of the Lenine exposure
in Petrograd was identical with that OF
the German Chancellor who the other
day referred 10 the same documents. j
was an effort TO establish i'm the minds
OF Americans primarily and of the civil
liam population of bellige.e.t ions
generally the idea that the War was an
imperialism venture & the part o.
France and that the French were seek
ing TO take Germ"n te tory to which
they had no moral clam, as the Ger
mans were seeking 10 take French ter
ritory TO which they had no mora
claim. Lerine is seeking TO manufac-
ture material that can be used against
our allies i'm this country and else
where. such material is worthless upon
examination. but the effort is to pre-
