He studied at the High School of Schlestadt, and afterwards at the University of Strasburg, and graduated Doctor of Laws in is95, and Doctor of Political Science in 1896. In 1900 - 1901 he was Secretary to the Franco Bulgarian Arbitration Commission relating to the Isker railway. He was subsequently a magistrate at Colmar, and afterwards, from 1902, an advocate in that town. He won distinction more especially as an advocate in political lawsuits in the numerous and very often notorious lawsuits which show what life was for the natives of alsace-lorraine under the harassing, malignant and pitiless rule of the Germans. His essential qualities as a political advocate are the reliability of his documentation and the close reason ing of his arguments.

This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Under the German Ban in Alsace and Lorraine I have thought it well to put together these impressions of three separate and leisurely visits, paid at considerable intervals, to Alsace and the annexed portion of Lorraine. If any remarks of mine appear exaggerated I beg the reader to turn to the final chapter in which I cite from most accredited French authors, who, like myself, have visited, revisited, and revisited again the annexed provinces. All tell the same tale. From the days of Edmond About down to our own, here there is no divergence. Alike the late lamented and genial administrator of the Comedie Francaise, M. Jules Claretie, M. Maurice Barres, and M. A. Hallays, exactly bear out my own conviction based upon experiences among the French subjects of the German Emperor - with every year of annexation detestation of Prussian tyranny has but grown deeper and deeper.

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...

Those who have failed to keep the compact of silent fidelity are but a handful. The hostages of defeat, Alsatians and Lorraines have courageously accepted the part of the representatives of human dignity protesting against brutal force. The small nations owe them a deep debt of gratitude. Their courageous resistance has had this result: that hence forth the strong will hesitate to treat the weak like a ock of cattle to be driven at will.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alsace in Rust and Gold Strangely caught up out of the rut and routine of Paris war-work, not even choosing my direction (the Fates did that), contributing, however, the eternal readiness of my soul, which the poet says is all, I was conveyed, as on a magic carpet, to the blue valleys and the rust and gold and jasper hills of Alsace, where the color is laid on thick, thick. There I was one, during many historic days, of the delightful group of blue-clad, scarred, decorated officers forming the French Military Mission, which since the autumn of 1914 had administered the little reconquered triangle of Alsace and planted in it the seed for the re-Gallicizing of Alsace-Lorraine. It was a bit of French history in the making, which detached itself quite peculiarly free from the mass of war happenings, somewhat as a medallion from that against which it is placed. My little book shows how humanly and simply the men of the French Military Mission, accustomed to supreme events, together with a woman from over the seas, lived through those thirteen historic days preceding the armistice. It will perhaps be worth the reader's while - I mean the nice, bright, perceptive reader's while - for mostly the throbbing, high-colored beauty of Alsace is veiled by dusty, argumentative, statistical pamphlets, so many of which are printed, so few of which are read. I once saw a great building full of such, and dozens of them were presented me for my sins, though I had never thought to read another book on Alsace, much less to write one.

Book Synopsis Looking Toward Peace (Classic Reprint) by : Helen Bartlett Bridgman
Download or read book Looking Toward Peace (Classic Reprint) written by Helen Bartlett Bridgman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Looking Toward Peace After what we know now of the close political relations among the trio, Belgium must never again come under the control of England or France. The little nation will profit by this change of masters; she will forever be protected from the cabals of neighbors; she will share in the prestige and prosperity of a great modern Power; above all, she will be rescued from that widespread illiteracy already a menace. If the rough element, Walloons and their like, at the outbreak of hostilities had been able to read the placards posted in public places by their own Government, commanding civilians not to fire on the invading army, Louvain at this moment would be as intact as Brussels. Germany is not likely to surrender the control of the Rhine by giving up alsace-lorraine, the unchallenged property of the Germanic people for eight centuries, wrested from them at last by Louis XIV. All she need consider in this connection, since the Reichsland's rising generation seems with her body and soul, is how best to dispose of a few old French families who prefer to create disturbance rather than vacate the premises. Germany long has desired to transform France into a friend; but if this proves impossible, she may remain, as an assurance of good faith, exactly where she is - behind that natural barrier along the Meuse and Aisne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gdańsk and East Prussia At all events it existed as\a Slav settlement 111 the tenth century, and remained Polish up to. 1308. Then it_be came Polish again by the free de'cisionof its inhabitants in and remained one of the most important Polish cities up to 1793. Thus during seven centuries Gdansk was a Polish town, against one hundred and forty-six years' domination of the Teutonic O'rder, Which led to the extmctlon of that Order four centuries ago, and one hun dred and twenty-six years of Prussian rule, Which led to the world -war. The chief motive of the partrtions of Poland was the craving of Prussian kings for the annex ation of Gdansk With the territory of West Prussia sur rounding it, and Without the partitions of Poland Prussia could never have become such a paramount military power as to defy the Whole world. If the partitions of Poland are considered as'a Prussian crime of the same kind as the conquest of alsace-lorraine or of Slesvig, then no reparation of that crime Will have more'far-reach ing consequences than a final decision as to the eternal right of Poland to its only harbour, twice wrested from the Poles for over a century by German V1olence, in utter disregard for treaties and common equity.
