General March said That Germans

The American advance between The
Argonne and the Meuse has forced
the enemy TO throw into action many
divisions which he was holding as his

Two National Ideals

German army officer who saw the French
enter Alsace, after nearly 50 years of German
occupation, expressed his establishment at the
conduct of the native population.
81 would never have believed it," he says,
yet the evidence is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
really seems delighted to have the French back
again"
He searches his Prussian mind in vain to
find reasons for this. The Alsatians, he is con-
WINGED, owe much more to the Germans than to
the French. "We have developed industries,
brought in capital and so far as Strasbourg is
concerned, nearly doubled the population and
increased the business turnover tenfold Yet
nine people out of ten are genuinely glad to
welcome the French"
Not only have the Germans made Alsace
wealthy and comfortable" he argues, "but they
have benefited the country by making it speak
German which, being 'the business language"
is obviously more profitable and convenient"
And yet those silly Alsatians prefer to speak
French.
He would never have imagined that mere
Sentimental considerations could prevail over
practical and commercial advantages.
Here we have neat little picture, drawn by
an artist ignorant of its value, of the essential
difference between the French and German
types of civilization. One is business" the
other is culture; one is profit" and selfish COM
fort the other is sentiment and humanity.
France and Germany, though neighbors, are
worlds apart.-Norfolk News.

Food Supplies IN Germany

Conditions in all the parts OF Germany now
occupied by the allies apparently justify the
assumption that the population is not in any
degree suffering from lack of food. There is
sullen acquiescence to the new rule, but the
assurance that order is to be preserved and no
'reprisals are to be taken relieves the conquered
.of the worst apprehensions. 1t would have been
Strange indeed if, in region untouched by the
Favages of war. the necessities of the inhabi-
ants in their daily lives were as pressing those
pf the devastated parts of France and Belgium
The Germans have had to live on strict
regimen, no doubt, but the French and Belgians
have had to do this too, and to suffer many
Worse things.
No one would have Germany plunged into
knarchy by reason of starvation, of course, but
7he prospect of that seems to be remote. 1t is
! sound instinct, however, which leads the
american people to protest against that sort of
maudlin sentiment which would coddle our
Enemies and neglect our friends. If Germany
kxn get along with what food she has, we had
better turn our attention to Italy and Roumania,
for example, where the crisis is acute, and
where great suffering will follow unless we act
promptly So far as the central powers go,
austria is obviously far worse off than Ger.
many, partly because of the selfish attitude OF
