[All France stand up for the victory of right. In 1788 Mirabeau was already saying 'War is Prussia's national industry'. Invaded 47 years
ago, Alsace-Lorraine is no different from the French departments invaded three years ago - Declaration by the French government (Chamber of
Deputies, 25 Oct. 1917). Alsace-Lorraine seized from France in 1871. On the eve of the War the powerful Pan-Germanist Association, the
'Alldeutscher Verband', declared on all sides: 'The German people must rise as a nation of masters above the inferior nations of Europe'.
Village lectures countering enemy propaganda in France [address]. Under attack, we are merely defending ourselves in the name of Liberty
and to preserve our lives - General Pétain, June 1917. P.J. Gallais and Co., Publishers and Printers, Paris. Maurice Neumont
