Alsace-Lorraine. By Daniel Blumenthal. (G. P. Putnam's Sons. 4s. net.)—M.
Blumenthal, the author of this admirable little book, is a distinguished Alsatian, who was Mayor of Colmar for nine years, a member of the Senate of Alsace, and Deputy for Stras- bourg in the German Reichstag. He escaped from Germany at the outset of the war, and has since been condemned in his absence to death for high treason, while his property has been confiscated and, oddly enough, his German nationality has been cancelled. M. Blumenthal is thus well qualified to present the case of Alsace- Lorraine, from the historical and from the moral standpoint. As Mr. Lloyd George has definitely pledged ,us once more to the con- tinuation of the war until Alsace-Lorraine is freed from her brutal German rulers, English people should read M. Blumenthal's clear and convincing statement of the Alsatian claims.
