What was the "zabern Incl
dent?"
1918 the "Zabern incident" occurred,
growing out of the attitude Of the
German officers stationed in the town
toward the native Aisatians. A young
lieutenant of noble birth remarked
that he would give ten marks to any
one who would run his sword through
an Alsatian blackguard. The teuten-
ant was upheld by his superior and
further earned the hatred of the
town by striking with his sword a
lame cobbler who jeered at him in
the street. The Kaiser ordered that
the army was to be upheld without
compromise or apology.
