WOULD NOT HEED WARNING
World Refused to Profit by EXHIBITION
of German Cunning Given Forty
Eight Years Ago.

Alsace cnd Lorraine, those famlllar'
names, found almost every day In al
most every paper; those two oblong
strips of country between France ana
Germany-how little some of US know
about them. after all. The eX-croWn
prince, in order to prove the ignorance
of our fighting men, reported an Amer
lean prisoner as saying that Alsace
was large lake. Perhaps he did, TINS
soldier of ours-and perhaps there was
twinkle in his eye and laugh in his
heart when he said it; for our boys
hacked a lot of humor in their kits.
When we come down in it, however,.
we Americans-yes and our Engllsh,
even our French, brothers-might well
have known more of these two "lost
nrovinces." We had a chance. But in
our crowded lives many books are lett
unread. and so it is that these AlSatlan
stories. translated from the French OF
two authors who wrote under their
combined names of Erckmann-C Chat
rian were little known except to col
lege students. Even then, the prophecy
which these books contain went I'M
heeded-a warning so plain, so certain,
so convincing. that as we read it now

these last four years, we wonder 1t
was not trumpeted to us in every
street. :.
Tn their book, ''The Plebiscite, +"
Frckmann-Chatrain gave us not only
the tragic story Of what happened IN
! Alsace and Lorraine in 1870 and 1871,
hut warnings of the German designs
on the rest of the world. Before most
of rs dreamed Of this awful war, they
told the story Of 48 years ago. and In
+bo telling nointed a certain finger TIC
the future. Only a year AFTER the
Franco-Prussian war ended, after pic
turing freshly remembered German
brutalities, they said:
"Those who shall come after VII
