of the introduction of the French Ian
guage in the schools
It is estimated that before the war there
were nearly 10000 immigrant Germans in
Alsace-Lorraine out of total population
Of about 100000. Perhaps go per cent of
these were Prussians. On the other hand
81 per cent. of the total population spoke
the German language as mother tongue
The number of real Germans quadrupled in
thirty-fve years. II was just enough to
balance the steady exodus Of the Alsatians
caused by their treatment.
After the armistice many of the Germans
left overnight. Others awaited the treaty
which for many turned out more favorable
than they had supposed. The clause in the
treaty permitting all German males who
had married women of Alsace-Lorraine
nationality to elect between German and
French citizenship is attributed TO nine out
OF ten of the remonstrants directly to Mr..
Wilson. The idea has been spread persist
emily that he actually drew IL himself and
forced il through over French remon-
strances after IL was pointed out that the
Germans had expelled all of the French
from the region after 1871.
Since the treaty came into effect upward
of 100000 Germans, majority of Prussian
nationality have taken advantage Of this
clause and assumed the nationality OF
their wives and have all the rights of
French citizens. The bulk of them are
workingmen. Some are small business men
and some even large industrials. There
are $4,000 in Strasbourg. A Prussian Gen

lisaffected, enough perhaps to be agains
the French at present, scarcely any of then
would tell you they actually preferred Gel
many"
In general here are the three main cause
for what at the present time is the troubl
IN Alsace-Lorraine:
/. The fact that more than 100000
pure Germans remain intermingled
with the native population largely be-
cause of the clause of the peace treaty
permitting those married to Alsatian
women to take the citizenship of their
wives. This is an irritating factor to
the French administration and to all
with decided pro-French sympathies.
g. The economic situation, worse
here than elsewhere through the loss
of the German market and the failure
to secure orders from France, nine
tenths of the industries being reduced
to very low output, while living and
production costs, due to the long haul
required for French goods, have risen
to point where the general cost of
living is to-day 16 per cent. higher
than elsewhere in France.
3. The religious question involved
in the maintenance or abolition of the
old concordat between church and
State, which Alsace-Lorraine had pre-
served under the German regime after
IL had been abolished in France, and
which the Catholic clergy, welding
tremendous power among the people,
desire to see continued, even though
absolutely inconsistent with the French
law OF separation. Not only is this
acting as bar to the complete incor-
poration of these departments into the
governmental system of France but it
has made of the clergy a dissenting
element to some extent in the matter
