ALSACE PLANTS

ernment's decision was made known
by Mayor Zopfei. He said not only
had the offer Of the Alsatian corpora
ton. Of which the city Of Muhlhausen
itself was q component part, been re-
1ected by the government but he also
had been informed on good authority
all the other Alsatian factories to be
liquidated would be sold to "old-Ger-
man" concerns beyond the Rhine.
Ruthiessness Condemned.
This attempt to Germanize Alsace
by ruthless industrial methods was
condemned by several members Of the
city council. Councillor Emmel de-
nounced as a subterfuge the statement
Of Undersecretary von Stein, who had
said the Bleichroeder offer had been
accepted because 1t was the more
favorable one. The speaker saw In
the governments action q systematic
effort to take Alsatian property away
from Alsatians.
The Bleichroeder group, the success
full bidder, Is headed by the banking
house of BleichrOeder In Berlin. The
original Bleichroeder was Prince Bis
marck's financial man and his heirs
are still in control of the banking
house. Old Blelchroeder was not very
scrupulous In his financial methods,
but this did not prevent Bismarck
from comforting the title Of nobility
upon his moneymaker. This was spne
Of the greatest jokes perpetrated by
Bismarck.
However, Baron Ble~ichroeder's heirs
are still barons and their influence in
the highest circles Is still formidable.
