TALSACE GERMAN BUT IN LANGUAGE ONLY Another Instance Where Berlin Failed Again in Psychology Paris, France, April 27.—“Tf there is entertained anywhere a conviction that Alsace is German in spirit to- day, it is a superficial deduction lack- ing exactly what ~the Germans have never had, that is, the eldment of psychology”, said Pastor Charles ‘Wagner, author of “The Simple Life", speaking to The Associated Press about President Wilson's speech to the Democratio National committee and the semi-official reply sent out from Berlin in which it was declared that Alsace is today, as it alweys has ,German in language, tradition Pastor Wagner be- &an his career as a clergyman in Alsace after the war of 1870. “The Germans claim Alsace as a German-speaking country; yet they themselves were surprised in 1870 to find a people there speaking a language similar to this own, yet so different in everything that goes to make up life,” continued the pastor. “There Wwere Alsatians that might have been called ‘half ana half’, that had benefitted from French culture That element thought that, if France should lose Alsace, it might become more and more a-.connecting link between the two countries. \ Indeed, the historical origin of Alsace would justify the conviction that the country had a great mission to perform in the world but that mission was denied by the Germans. They would not admit that the Alsatians could draw on two sources. They required that the an- nexed people should forget. France, that they should have anly one; pride and one glory, that of being German. “I was a student at Strassburg after the war of 1870 and saw the beginning of that new and painful era for Alsace. . My first preaching was done there. I soon discovered that, if I remained, I could scarcely be anything more that corporal aof the Emperor. I left because I didn't want to become a spiritual gendarme. Fafled to Undérstand Alsatians. “The Germans failed utterly to understand what was noble and worthy , in the Alsatian character and how they might have made them- selves accepted. They were blind to the painful situation of the tenacious and obstinate Alsation people, hold- ing to old affections, and to whom, remaining failthful to France in her misfortunes, Germany appeared all the more excessive in her exultations, They had not the tact and discretion of a successful victor. The conse- quence was that Alsatians attributed the result of the war of 1870 more to circumstances that to Germany'a superiority. “The great contrast they were obliged to draw between the Germans who emigrated from other provinces into Alsace after the war and their ideal German, destroyed their con. fidence in the much vaunted Ger-. man organization. “The Alsatian lives well and drinks good wine, but he is ashamed to be seen drunk. The absolute absence of dignity in this respect by the im- migrated Germans made it impossi- ble for the Alsatian to associate with them, “The younger .generations became more indjfferent than the old by force of circumstances, but the partial con- quest of this younger element was not a spiritual conquest. It was &im- ply because the population was be- coming habituated to new rulers, as an old woman becomes habituated to her false teeth, to her failing beauty, without in any sense becoming ena. moured of her old age. “The Germans needed a Napoleon to complete the military canquest of 1870 by the spiritual conquest of the people. He would never lay a hand upon_institutions particular to Alsace and Lorraine. He was chaffed once about the generals on his staff who spoke German. ‘It is true they do speak German’, he said; ‘Keller- mann swears in German, but he fights in French’. Napoleon knew that the spirit of the Alsatian was French and that he needed have no anxiety on the score of the language. In fact, the French policy since Louls XIV. had been never to touch anything in Alsace. The country was left with a language that was not national. German and French were taught, but the old patois was the substance. French penetrated the province like a perfuine instead of like a projectile as did German institutions. “A curious result of the German effort ‘to stamp out French in Alsace was that in proportion as the Alsa- tlans forgot French they became more Alsatian, while they never ap- proached any nearer to being Ger- man. In less than fifteen years after the beginning of the German occupa- tion, an Alsatian literature had sprung up. The German permitted it, not understanding - that that provinclal patois was a sort of a fortress be- hind which Alsatian characteristics were sheltered.” War as Spiritual Purge. Passing on to general questions re- garding the war and its effects after- ward, Pastor Wagner expressed the opinion that the world will be spirit- ually better for the great trial through which it has passed. “The world will have observed”, he said, “that there are things that cannot be put into the balance, in- visible things that count, and from which good will come. Good will come even from the formidable ex- position by men of bad ' sentiments, that will make the rest of the world sick of living among them.

The lessons of the sacrifices that have been made by the young will improve the spirit of youth by emulation, while older people have . been renovated mentally. The world generally will no longer admire the same things that it did beéfore or will .no longer admire them in the same way. It is not only my opinion but my senti- ment; I feel myself being =spiritually renovated. “The perfection to which Germany has brought the organization of false- hood will in itself disgust the world with lying; beginning with falsehoods regarding the origin of the war, false- hoods regarding first aggressions, falsehoods regarding the first use of suffocating gas, falsehoods at all times and on all subjects, prepared and dis- seminated with all the perfection of German method, will make the world hungry for truth and candor. “It has been asked whether the re- sult of this war is going to develop hatred between peoples that will be detrimental to our own spiritual “Tiz” Puts Joy ,in Sore, Aching Feet , how ‘Tiz’ gladdens tired, swol- len, burning feet—It’s glorious!” Ah! what relfer. o more tired feet; no more burning feet; no more swollen, aching, tender, sweaty feet.
