Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alsace-Lorraine Since 1870 The question of Alsace-Lorraine, one of the chief causes of the present war, is today one of the most important obstacles to peace. It is by no means the only one, however, as many German publicists, desirous of throwing upon France the burden of forcing a continuation of hostilities, would have us believe. Germany will cling to Alsace-Lorraine to the last. The present Kaiser said in 1888: "It is my opinion... that we would rather leave our eighteen army corps and our forty-two million inhabitants dead upon the field of battle than give up a single stone of the land conquered by my father and Prince Frederick Charles." From this pronouncement of 1888 to the famous "Never!" of Von Kuhlman, uttered a few months ago, German sentiment has never wavered: Alsace and Lorraine form the Reichsland, the Land of the Empire, and such they must remain. Yet, if the tide of battle turns, and if it seems to Germany unlikely that she will be allowed to hold the conquered provinces, she may be willing to renounce her claim to what she considers indisputably hers, provided she be given compensatory advantages elsewhere. Her right to hold Alsace-Lorraine or to bargain with the Allies on the basis of her present possession must be carefully weighed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alsace-Lorraine In the United States, in England, and in France, there are half a million of Alsatians who would not consent to leave their adopted homes and new occupations for the doubtful opportunity of taking part in a plebiscite in the country of their birth. They know too well the touch of the iron hand. The seizure in 1871 of alsace-lorraine is regarded by the Germans as the crowning triumph and victory of the Bismarckian era of conquest, and it must be made for them by ourselves and our Allies one of the reasons for their defeat in the present war, which that blood-steeped war master of Europe has precipitated upon the nations for their domination. The wrong done to Belgium is not greater than that done to alsace-lorraine, save that the latter country has not yet been so wrecked by fire and sword.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Story of Alsace-Lorraine The idea of writing this book occurred to me when I found, both by conversing with friends and acquaintances and by listening at odd moments to remarks passed by "men in the street," how very little is known about Alsace-Lorraine in Great Britain. The general ignorance appeared to me to be the more regrettable as my acquaintance with all the more important German utterances and writings on this subject since 1871 convinced me, already at the outset of the Great War, that whatever conditions the Allies might resolve to exact of Germany, the one which, more than any other, she would resist to her utmost would be the restitution of Alsace-Lorraine to France. Nevertheless, it was absurd for Baron von Kühlmann to assert, as he did shortly after his appointment as German Minister for Foreign Affairs, that the sole obstacle to peace was the question of Alsace-Lorraine. As our Foreign Secretary, Mr. Balfour, replied - virtually repeating the utterances of our successive Prime Ministers, Mr. Asquith and Mr. Lloyd George-we undoubtedly desire to see Alsace-Lorraine restored to France; but it is ridiculous to imagine that this one question "stands out solitary, preeminent, unconnected with any other of the objects of the war." "We are fighting," as Mr. Balfour said, "in order, in the first place, that Europe may be freed from the perpetual menace of the military party in Germany"; and, assuredly, if that object is to be attained, questions affecting quite a number of countries will require solution.

French national union, slowly and laboriously effected under different systems of government in the course of centuries, was to be destroyed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alsace and Lorraine on the Eve of Deliverance It cannot be repeated too often: upstart Prussia, after rising from nothing, has succeeded, in the course of two centuries, in attaining to the foremost rank among the Great Powers, solely by the exercise of brute force. It was by right of conquest that she carried out every stage of her territorial aggrandisement. Silesia and Posen, the Rhine Provinces and Hanover, Schleswig-Holstein and Alsace-Lorraine are as many instances of lands wrested from their lawful owners by force of arras. Prussian hegemony in the German Empire was likewise the result of a successful war. No single province, no State ever gave itself to Prussia of its own free will. In one and all, the Hohenzollerns have had to appeal to the law of might for the purpose of establising their domination.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Alsace Lorraine Alsace-Lorraine, as the term is used in the following chapters, is understood to cover three geographically determined areas: the Lorraine plateau, the Vosges mountains, and the plain of Alsace. The district annexed in 1871 by Germany and known as the Reichsland does not include the whole of this threefold region. Over half the Lorraine plateau and a great part of the Vosges lie outside it, and constitute a district which we may describe as French Lorraine. The political limits of the Reichsland are definite; those of French Lorraine are not, since the province of Lorraine no longer has a political existence. But French Lorraine is very tolerably well represented by the three departments of Meuse, Meurthe-et-Moselle, and Vosges. Accordingly the term Alsace-Lorraine may be taken politically to cover the following territories: Alsace as annexed to Germany in 1871; the territory of Belfort, being that portion of Upper Alsace (department of Haut-Rhin) which was not annexed by Germany and may therefore be described as French Alsace; Lorraine as annexed by Germany; and the three French departments of Meuse, Meurthe-et-Moselle, and Vosges. Geographically the term Alsace-Lorraine has a slightly different signification. In the first place the three departments enumerated above do not quite satisfactorily represent the extent of the Lorraine plateau in France. The western region of the Meuse department and the south of the Vosges department fall outside it; while on the other hand a part of the Vosges mountain system falls within the department of Haute-Saone, and part of the Gap of Belfort within that of Doubs. Secondly Alsace, as a political expression, includes about half the Vosges and a part of the Lorraine plateau (viz., the so-called krummes Elsass or 'Alsatian Lorraine', round Saarunion and Lutzelstein, Kreis Zabern), while Alsace as a geographical unit consists of the Rhine plain only.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Question of Alsace and Lorraine, Lecture Given at Aeolian Hall New York March 14 The Question of Alsace and Lorraine Ladies and Gentlemen: In December last I took a trip through Alsace, that is, through the strip which has been reconquered, going thoroughly through the country, looking into everything and talking with whomever happened to be on my path, my object being to gather further information on the Alsace-Lorraine question, which will be such a vital one when the moment comes to talk about possible Peace, and which has been so systematically distorted by the Germans, that the outside world has at best but a confused, or better still, a most contortioned view of it. For months I have been studying the subject, but have always felt that when the opportunity presented itself, I wanted to see on the spot all that was possible, to impregnate myself with the atmosphere, and to live a few days amongst the people, who, forty-six years ago, were transferred, against their will and protest, to a virtual state of slavery, and where the task-masters were the forty-five thousand functionaries imposed upon them by the conquerors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER II ALSACE-LORRAINE BEFORE THE TREATY OF FRANKFORT What was this country, now transferred as a war prize, in its essential character, in its fundamental nature? Was it German or was it French? The question has received two answers. The Germans have asserted that it was German, the French that it was French. The opinion of those most intimately concerned, the people of Alsace and Lorraine themselves, was just as explicit as either of these. They asserted, as we have seen, that they were French and wished to remain French, and that the document that pretended to transfer them was from the start and would forever remain null and void. What light did history throw upon this problem, if it was a problem? It is impossible within the confines of this volume to recount with any fulness the crowded annals of this people. The story does not easily lend itself to compression, it is so long, so varied, and so involved. Nevertheless, out of its bewildering intricacies, a few features in the slow evolution may profitably be noticed. They may serve to indicate with reasonable certitude the individuality of these provinces, which was the product of manifold forces, operating, sometimes obscurely, sometimes clearly, through the course of many centuries. For, that Alsace and Lorraine had personalities of their own is obvious to any frank and serious student, and even a brief analysis of the various strains of experience that entered into the formation of them ought to prove instructive. Who the first inhabitants were of these regions between the river Meuse, the Vosges mountains, and the Rhine, it is idle to inquire. In the dim background of European history groups of human beings flit obscurely, appearing and then disappearing, leaving only a few...

This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Folk-Songs of Alsace, Lorraine and Champagne In these songs of the people, however poor the lines, there is always a sense of humour, of candour, of joy or sorrow, in which one sees clearly the soul of a district, whilst the melo dies give the feeling of the scenery. For instance, the wonderful patience, gaiety and cheerfulness of the people of green Alsace is eloquently expressed in the rhythm of their folk-songs, which are almost always dancing-songs. The sons of blue Lorraine, camped at the gates of France, had to be good warriors, so their folk-songs are, nearly all, marching-songs. In slate-coloured Champagne, where the soil is hard to work, the folk-songs are longer, deeper, more realistic with a heavier rhythm, and the melodies are not as impressive as in other more picturesque provinces, or even as in Upper Champagne, which is hilly and woody.

Alsace and Lorraine are now German territory. In fine, the war is over, thanks be to the Lord.

In this little volume, we shall briefly relate a few facts about the French and Irish Red Cross Societies during the late war between France and Prussia. The good these societies have done for the poor wounded soldiers; and also the grand ovations which the Irish people gave to the French delegates on their recent visit to Ireland.
