was being exhibited about that time
In letter to Secretary Baker on the

to "do what J can at this time to stop

Close as this bond may be. an old
citizen of Strassburg, NJ. Gcissmann,
who has nodded to French prisoners in
the street, is sentenced to prison for
six months.
ITO make the arbitrary repression
easier. the newspapers are forbidden
to publish the debates of the court
martials.
can Alsatian nun Of Guebwiller. who
has protested against the destruction
of the Rheims Cathedral, gets six
months in prison.
Another nun. in Ricdisheim, who
has been too kind to French wounded.
is sentenced to five years at hard labor.
"a neutral, from one of the countries
bordering Alsacc, has summed up ap-
proximatcly the prison sentences is
sued within three years by German
court martials Judging Alsatians or
citizens of Lorraine. They total more
than five thousand years.
at is in this way that the Huns are
demonstrating that a country Is Ger

War Upon French Language
"In this country, which they say is
German one, they are waging fierce
war against the use of the French Ian
guage. Why, then. if the country is
German?
"On account of a French label on a
parcel the sender is sentenced to fine

place: for this his reward is three
months of jail.
II need hardly say that all the AL
satan newspapers published in French
have been suppressed since the begin
ming of war. This is one moro way to
demonstrate that Alsace- Lorraine is
German.
II have just spoken of the civilians.
What now about the soldiers? In Au-
gust. 1915, in proclamation, the Gov
ernor of Alsace- Lorraine brands as
traitor the people he rules. More than
$4,000 of them. since early in August,
was at stake. to ioin the French army.
Even in the German army, follow
ing orders issued by generals. special
rules are applied to every soldier from
Alsace or Lorraine; the postal censor
ship is tightencd: no leaves are
grantcd; the Alsatian or Lorraincr SOL
diers are spied upon and bullied.
can Alsatian soldier complains that
he has not got any food. He is dashed
by the lieutenant and by thc field
webel till he faints.
Another officer. in an order issued
to commissioned officers, recommends
that they should train in the proper
way the Alsatans. all Of whom are
bandits and traitors.
During the present battle We have
found on prisoners similar orders ap~
plying to Alsatian or Lorrainer soldiers
taken back from the Russian front.
Orders are given always to put them
in the most dangerous places and to
hold them always under suspicion.
This again is the German way of
strating that Alsace-Lorraine is
attached to Gcrmanism by closer
growing bond"
