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

Alsace end Lorraine, those familiar names, found almost every day in al- most every paper; those two oblong strips of country between France and 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 ican prisoner as saying that Alsace was large lake. Perhaps he did, this soldier of ours-and perhaps there was a twinkle In his eye and a laugh in his heart when he said it; for our boys packed a lot of humor in their kits.
 When we come down in it, however, we Amerieans-yes. and our English, even our French, hrothers-might we'll have known more of these two Host provinces" We had a chance. But in our crowded lives many books are left unread; and so it is that these Alsatian stories, translated from the French of two authors who wrote under their combined names of Erckmann-Chat- rian were little known except to col lege students. Even then, the prophecy which these books contain went un- heeded-a warning so plain, so certain, so convincing, that as we read it now in the light of what Germany has done these lasta four years. we wonder it was not trumpeted to us in every street.
 In their book, "The Plebiscite," Erckmann-Chatrain gave us not only the tragic story of what happened in Alsace and Lorraine in 1870 and 1871. but warnings of the German designs on the rest of the world. Before most Of us dreamed of this awful war. they told the story of 4S years ago. and in the telling pointed certain finger to the future. Only a year after the Franco-Prussian war ended, after pie turing freshly remembered German brutalities. they said:
 Those who shall come after will see worse things than this; since men are wolves. foxes, hawks. owls, all this must come round again.
 Those Germans are the most per } feet spies in the world; they come into the world to spy. as birds do to thieye; it is part of their nature. Let the Americans and all the people who are kind enough to receive them think of this. Their imprudence may some day cost them dearly. I am not in venting; I am not saying a word too much We are an example. Let the world profit by it."
 That was our warning almost half a century ago.-Ariadne Gilbert. in St. Nicholas
