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.

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.

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...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Facts About Alsace and Lorraine: A Paper Read Before the Geographical Club of Philadelphia, January 2, 1895 Strasbourg has two monuments that have an interna tional fame: the tomb of Marshal Saxe and the cathedral. The monument erected to the memory of the great marshal of Louis the Fifteenth 15 In the Evangelical Church of St. Thomas. It is made of white marble, and shows Death beckoning Maurice of Saxe into the tomb, while France is vainly trying to hold him back, and around him are allegorical figures representing the countries Whose armies he had defeated. There is nothing in the church that can challenge comparison with the tomb in any sense and divert your attention from it, and, probably because it is quite alone, it appears to be finer than anything in Westmin ster Abbey.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Future of Alsace-Lorraine This demand, which was renewed some days later in dealing with Jules Favre, changed the character of the war. French national union, slowly and laboriously effected under different systems of government in the course of centuries, was to be destroyed. Provinces which, by their patriotism and their devotion to the nation, had become for France a symbol of her prosperity and prestige in the world were to be separated from her and subjected to foreign domination.
