THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE LORRAINE.


It is intolerable the when the Universal Exhlb
ton offers for the admiration of the world the marvellous
ducts of peace that Fenhmen and Germans should be forced
to other contrary all and to all justice
Such enormes do not belong to the present age they were
the of worthy OF barbarous times Pc
titoners conclude:


Let us not expose the lives of children Let
cause our fields waste and villages given
the flames Let avoid the ruin of commerce. let
preserve industry from destruction Let us live in fraer
nifty with other peoples and let US not mper the conquess
of civilization for the sake of barren glory which has cost
the world much blood Such the sentiments which
make public while declaring adhesion to the
League of Peace"

the German students, their wish to be enrolled among the
Leaugers:


Let US proclaim that is the destruction of civilization,
of misery the people, and that the battlefield is
soil for the growth of desposm Let not be deuded
by speous reasoning We desire pacific conquests and not
muderous struggles barren for good and fertile only for evil
Let the arm but let the populations protest Let
their cry unanimous and drown the din of and let our
motto forever-peace, progress, liberty and fraternity
