GERMAN APPEALS FOR AID
Almost as soon as Germany had accepted the armi
stice terms dictated by the Allies, an appeal for aid was
sent to this country by Dr. Solf, who, describing the
conditions in Germany as "fearful," said that he spoke
In behalf of his nation. A few days later, German
women sent wireless messages to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
and Miss Jane Addams imploring them to exert their
personal influence for the purpose of bringing about
such modification of the armistice terms as would allow
of certain rolling stock being released for German use.
Pleading that the innocent women and children of Ger
many had nothing to do with the war, Gertrude Baeumer
and Alice Salomon, signers of the wireless appeals, asked
that help be given lest millions die of starvation.
Therreason for sending out this plea for mercy and
lid apparently is the seventh clause of the armistice
terms in which provision is made for the delivery to the
Allies of five thousand locomotives and fifty thousand
railway cars as well as ten thousand motor lorries
which all must pass into the hands of the Allies within
a' period^-of fourteen days from the signing of .the ar
mistice.
While it ia clear that this immense reduction' of
German rolling stock will cause much hardship in a
country where quick transportation of food just now is
taperative, it must be taken for, granted that the matter
has been gone over by the Allied council at Versailles
before the terms were finally formulated if that were
tot the case, President Wilson could not have said in
his speech before congress last Monday:
"The humane temper and intention of the victorious
governments has already been manifested in a very
practical way. Their representatives in the supreme
war council at Versailles have by unanimous resolution
assured the peoples of the Central empires that every
thing that is possible in the circumstances will be dene
to supply them with food and relieve the. distressing
•rant Steps are to be taken immediately to organ
ise th'ese^ efforts at relief in the same systematic manner
that they were organized in the case of Belgium." And
as if to show at once that every word was jneant, ar
rangements were made to have that expert food admin
istrator, Herbert Hoover, leave for Europe to start the
organization.
It would .thus appear that German appeals are
superfluous. What can be done, undoubtedly will be
done, and that some of the rolling stock to be delivered
to the Allies will be used fo» the purpose of carrying
food to starving Germans, may be reasonably supposed.
i' To give German claims priority over those coming
from other countries would manifestly be unjust, and it
loss not look as though anyone has-such intentions, but
It may be expected that food and other necessary sup
plies will be distributed on a 'basis of approximate
•quality.
..It might be added, however, that the generally hu
man tendency is to extend aid first to those who suffer
In silence and to let those who cry the loudest wait the
longest Unless circumstances make it necessary, this
policy will not be adopted by the Allies toward the war
sufferers of Europe—but if it were, it would be but
natural.

lesa than that known in Belgium. Conaideringthat there
la such a divergence of views, ifn Is but natural to expect!
some spasmodic disorders, Hrat it may^ be safely taken
tor (ranted that they wlllhave no jnrioua consequences
because socia^ and economic conditions arc^ so well reg
ulated that any Bolshevik movement in. advance is
doomed to failure. The momentary unreft l# Just one of
the numerous, phenomena of that ^whlch prevails all over
•the -world, and whatever it may look like on the sur
face, it is not. to be taken too seriously.
The next day Clemenceau told the French chamber
of deputies of the restoration' of Alsace-Lorraine, and. in
the name of the republic he extended the heartiest pos
sible welcome to that part of the nation which had been
under Prussian domination apd remained enthusiastic
ally Frenqh throughout all its struggles and difficulties.
The sentiments of the population of Alsace-Lorraine
have occe more demonstrated to the world the Supreme
incompetence of the Prussians for governing conquered
soil. There, as in Posen and SlesVig-Holst^n, every at'
tempt to Prussianise the people has been decisively frus
trated, and even such subtle methods as those employed
for the purpose of buying farms from the original own
ers,and place them in the hands of Prussians bave utter
ly failed. Prussianism became a vei*y literal ^terror in
these provinces and the system adopted for their Ger
manization was so abhorrent and repulsive as to deepen
the hatred of the people for their oppressors.

It marks an
epoGh
And Bismarck carefully put all the gold in large
coffers at Spandau for certain uses. It soon became evi
dent what the indemnity money was to be expended for:
German military railroads. Miles and miles of tracks
were laid down everywhere in the German empire so as
to insure the swift movements of troops when "der Tag
would dawn upon a well prepared military nation.. It
was a piece" of foresight which would have been admir
able had the purposes been different—and now things
have turned out so queerly that the organization whose
work was facilitated by stolen French capital, has been
crushlngly defeated, and that Alsace-Lorraine is French
and tfee once more.
Political considerations in connection wltfe the Al
sace-Lorraine problem have always been of importance,
but aside .therefroih, the dual province has become a
symbol of the valiant Gallic spirit which may for just
one brief moment be despondent but which, resurrected
and revigorated, compels the admiration ol^frlends and
the mortification of foes.'
The heart df the French nation is Alsace-Lorraine,
and today the blood courses through it more swiftly than
ever before during the p^st half century or so." Alsace
Lorraine restored rises out of the *red mists of the war
as the eternal visualization of a people whose soul can
not be crushed eVen by brutal Prussian iron fists—and
an entire world thankfully and jubilantly pays homage
to that people whose faith' and courage acted on every
one like a fiery inspiration.
AN ELUSIVE INDIVIDUAL
Wi
L'
IN ALSACE-LORRAINE
On Sunday Fiey Marshal Foch, President Poincare
and Premier Georges Clemenceau/of France, will solemn
ly enter the territory of Alsace-Lorraine, the provinces
lost and ^regained they will be there to officially pro
claim that the former German "relchsland'' has reverted
tS its rightful possessors, the trench people.
There have already been indications of the depth
and genuineness of feeling with which the nation" receiv
ed the news of a victory that meant the fulfillment of
hopeft and dreams of 47 years. On the .day when Presi
dent Wilson read to the joint congress the terms of the
German armistice, one silent mai^ sat behind the cabi
net members and the judges of the-supreme court and
while every one was cheering as the president read the
terms, this man averted his face from the 4cene of jubi
lation ancf wept—wppt for joy. It was Jusserand, the
French ambassaddf, who- yielded to an impulse the most
natural of all, even for a diplomat.
in the history of France that her
highest dignitaries "will take possession of Alsace-Lor
raine now that victory has been won. Time was when
long railroad trains moved into the station of Frankfort
on-the-Main filled with French gold from top to bottom
—gold wrung from the savings of French men, women
and children who were intent on remitting the huge in
demnity which victorious Prussia had Imposed upon
them. No one thought at that time that France was In
a position td so splendidly respond to the decrees, of fate
and the exorbitant demands of a Bismarck-ruled Ger
many. But she did.
The- former crown prince of ^Germany is gradually
becoming a mystery and is exciting no little interest on
the European continent and in America, Paris has re
ported him somewhere in Belgium Rotterdam said he
had arrived at Maastricht Bern Informs the worldrthat
the body of the one-time highness has been found, cov
ered with bayonet and'bullet wounds on a military train

may be in theae days of fast-moving army lines, and
finally the British foreign office austerely announces
that it has no confirmation of the rumors which say that
the ex-crown prince has been killed.
It is a little difficult to find the reasons- for bestow
ing so much attention on the oldest son of the abdicated
kaiser. He proved himself no genius in any fleld^ Ger
man military experts whispered over their beer mugs
that he was absolutely no good an offlber as com
mander of the DMth Hussars he occupied a post which
appears to have been mope ornamental than useful—and
altogether, his sole claim to notoriety seems to 'rest upon
the Cact that he was a scion of the, Hohenzollern hduse.
If anyone would be Inclined to believe that the ex
crown prince's existence anywher,e in the wprld consti
tutes^ menace to the future of 'dtrmany and the world,
the average man fails to see how he possibly could
threaten a/new government History knows of
princes who, when they had recuperated i^nd'surrounded
themselves with a faithful bodyguard, made vociferous
data*'for thrones froita which thiy had been ejected.
Rut generally there has been at lMbt a trac^ of genius
