Marcel Knecht Tells How They
Flew Biggest Flags as the
French Army Entered.

Marcel Knecht, member Of the French
High Commission. told the crowd OF AL
satians that packed the Globe Theatre TO
the doors yesterday afternoon for the
celebration Of the Association Generate
des Alsaciens-Lorrains d'Amerique how
the German residents OF Metz had tried
to fool the incoming French armies af-
ter the armistice. but how their plans
had been frustrated by the French In
habitants.
The German population Of Metz"
said ". Knecht. "as did the German popu-
latlon In Strasboure, put out even bigger
flags than did the French when the ar
mics Of Marshal Petain entered" He
paused with a smile az the audience,
dotted here and there with grizs,ed vet
Grams OF Frances army and navy. broke
into ironic laughter
at is an old saying" he continued,
that one Alsace-Lorrainer Is worth
twenty-five Germans. And In order that
our brave soldiers might not mistake
those who were really on their side, In
one night a special committee went with
ladders TO those houses where flags had
been nut up by Germans-by men who
had been prosecuting them--and the flags
were torn down. 30 that those houses

NJ Knecht, whose address was de-
signed to show ''how Alsace and Lor-
raine have become French again." eaid
the French populace. though only 40 per
cent OF tho total population Of Metz,
had turned out In great numbers TO cheer
their delverers. The rest OF the inhab-
itants. he said, were Germans. who had
come TO take the place OF Frerchmen
that left the province in 1871 rather than
become subjects OF the Kaiser
Another flag lowering incident which
he related was significant for It's ind-
cation that the natives OF the restored
provinces were not inclined toward Bol-
shevism. though German soldiers in their
last days on the soil Of Alsace-Iorraine
had attempted 10 incite them to anarchy.
Just after the arristice." the Com
missioner said. I'VE saw two things In
he cities Of Alsace and Lorraine. The
first was a revolution organized by the
German soldiers. who put red flags
everywhere in place Of the imperial fla q
before they left. They hoped this flag
would remain.
But. my friends, while we have never
! been for reaction. We never will he for
revolution. The veterans one night pulled
down the red flag and ran up the French
flag OF 1869.
