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.
