American Flags in Evidence.

Strassburg had hung out all the gay
tri-colored bunting available Tor the
occasion. 1t had likewise on dlsPlas
great numbers of American flags
which bore every Indication that they
had been skillfuliy made at nome.
What was most astounding, perhaps
to simple writers from the tar west
was that they were greeted ny Sred
placards posted on the walls OF 'he
CITY calling on the young women ana
girls to turn out in the national ASA :
tian costumes for the benefit of their
foreign gueStS-a mark of respect Una |
is perhaps unique in the history Oh
journalism. .
At the luncheon of the chamber OF
commerce and later in the evening at
a dinner given by the retiring hlgh
commissioner. Maringer. at the palace
of the governors of AlSace. long occu-
pied by German crown rulers. called
the stAdthalter. | had an opportunity
to converse with men who now rep
resent the best French clement anon
the Alsatians 1t was strange to think
that for generation these men VINO
were born and bred in Alsace and
were proud of its traditions had been
compelled to go through its streets as
if they were foreigners. tolerated by
law, but ostraciZed by the German ad-
ministration and unable to teach their
children in public of the SlorleS Oh
France.
But time brings recompense and IL was
with subtle joy that these men dined
in a hall where the kaiser frequently
made his speeches. using the plate OF
the stadthalter. including sold d-pia tea
and silver service bearing the I'M
periai arms of Germany. and drinking
toasts to France marked with the I'M
periaI crests. For matters developed
so quickly in StrasSburg that the
stadthalter had to flee leaving BE-
hind bag and baggage. The Als>>ians
laughed heartily while they employ
ed the imperial cutlery and later led
US into a large reception hall behind
the dining room. where, hidden under
denim. were four great canvas por-
traits of the former kaiser and
kaiserin and also of William l and Of
Frederick the Great.
