Paris, Sept. IL (By MaiL) lin a
series Of interesting documents and
army orders, which have fallen into
the hands of the French army, the
German High Command itself fur
nishes the most eloquent reply TO
the claims of Bethmann-Hollweg and
Hertling that Alsace-Lo is Ger
man to the core.
These documents prove beyond a
doubt that the Germans are forcing
the people of Alsace-Lorraine to fight
against their kindred, and that
Alsace- Lorraine at heart is French.
One of the captured army orders
reveals the fact that over 10000
Alsacians mutinied at the Beverloo
depot in Belgium during May.
According to the order, the mutiny
was suppressed pitilessly,' and all
soldiers were ordered to assist in
rounding up the mutineers who were
trying to make their way towards
Holland. In other documents the
crown prince orders that soldiers
from Alsace-Lorraine must never be
employed in critical situations and
are to be used in the front lines
only when in company with trusted
troops.
During the, preparations for the
great Marne offensive, the Germans
became alarmed by the number of
desertions of Alsacians. Gen. Buch-
holz issued an order that "under no
