in Paris is much desired.
"President Wilson," it says, "has
done incalulable sejvices to the al

"For this reason and because he

we- hope that -party controversies
will not prevent him from coming to
Europe. There ,may doubtless be
difficulties surrounding his attend

but even more important than the

these President Wilson s presence
not only is desirable but is indispensable."

With the French Army at Metz,
Nov, 23. It will take some time for
"the Jerritory of Metz" to accustom
itself tp the changes being made in-
its administration, in the opinion of
the old inhabitants of this region.
By jthis name this part of recon
quered Lorraine will be known un
til it has been finally and fully re
installed the French republic.
The greater problem will be
Metz itself, the smaller towns and
rural districts, except the mining
districts, being as thoroughly French
as ever.! Metz, the metropolis of the
province, however, after having serv
ed for 48 yearsas the German gar
rison, has been Germanized to ah
extent that can b appreciated only
by a personal contact. The very con
siderable number of German immi
grants the imperial army brought
with it had established the strong
uerman colony, almost equalling the
French civilian population in num
bers. These Germans held all the
public offices and filled all the pub
lic posts onailroads and in the post
al service. They finally succeeded
in gaining an equal representation
with the French in the municipal
council. , . ; -
The native population, unfailing in
its loyalty to , France, was over
whelmed and terrorized and could
only nurse its affection for France
in 'secret. Now that the liberation
the people hoped for, almost without
I,,. , ' 1 '. '
daring to look for, has come, it has
taken Jthem by surprise.
Those residents of Metz who are
most devoted to France still find oc
casionally that in spite of themselves
they are speaking low when talking
of trance and their newly regained
liberty, from instinctiveear of a
heavy German hand on thehou!der
and an invitation to follow to the
police station. :
The German population, 'on the
other hand, appears to lack thus far
full comprehension of what has hap
pened, i The German residents take
the arrival of the French troops as
an unwarranted invasion. The ore
siding officer of "the German civil
administration, Baron von Gem'
mingen. showed surprise when Mon
sieur Mirman, the perfect of Nancy,
appointed commissary by the
French government for Lorraine,
arrived to take possession of his
post.

of the German emperor still hanging
in the private olhce of the pertecture
