Les Alsaciens et les Lorrains sont Français!
L'Alsace et la Lorraine sont deux vieilles provinces.
Elles ont été réunies à la France à la même époque que les Flandres, la Franche-Comté, le Roussillon.
Le jour où, sous la Révolution, les peuples ont pu, pour la première fois, exprimer librement leurs préférences, en 1790, le 14 juillet, à la Fête de la Fédération, les Délégués d'Alsace et de Lorraine ont prêté le serment , avec ceux de toutes les autres provinces, de renoncer à leurs privilèges et de concourir à former LA FRANCE UNE ET INDIVISIBLE.
Elles ont été fidèles avant la Révolution. — Elles l'ont été après.
Vingt-huit généraux d'Alsace et de Lorraine ont leur nom gravé sur l'Arc-de-Triomphe, à Paris. Depuis le début de la guerre actuelle, plus de 20.000 Alsaciens-Lorrains se sont engagés dans l'armée française.
En 1870, les Allemands envahirent l'Alsace et la Lorraine. Ces malheureuses provinces furent la rançon de la paix, en 1871. Elles furent arrachées à la France, malgré leur douleur, par la violence. Mais, conformément au Droit des Peuples, dont elles avaient usé en 1790, elles protestèrent par la voix de leurs députés, en 1871, en 1874. Elles refusèrent de devenir allemandes, comme vous aussi et vos parents vous le refuseriez si on vous obligeait, aujourd'hui.
Or, l'Allemagne a passé outre! — Toujours, l'Alsace et la Lorraine protestèrent depuis.
En 1914, tous les traités ont été rompus par l'Allemagne qui nous a déclaré la guerre. Nous voulons délivrer nos départements du Nord envahis; nous voulons aussi délivrer ceux qui sont formés par l'Alsace et la Lorraine. Les premiers sont envahis depuis quatre ans. Les seconds depuis quarante-sept ans! — Ils sont tous également attachés à la Patrie. Ils sont tous Français.

Remember the 'Lusitania'
The jury's verdict says:
"We find that the said deceased died from their prolonged immersion and exhaustion in the sea eight miles south-south-west of the Old Head of Kinsale on Friday, May 7th, 1915, owing to the sinking of the R.M.S. 'Lusitania' by a torpedo fired without warning from a German submarine."
"That this appalling crime was contrary to International law and the conventions of all civilized nations, and we therefore charge the officers of the said submarine, and the Emperor and Government of Germany, under whose orders they acted, with the crime of Wilful and Wholesale Murder before the Tribunal of the Civilized World."

Dedicated to the people of the United States
Awake! ye men from dreams of Peace — Nor sleep when danger's near,
But fling Old Glory to the breeze — There are no cowards here!
Our fathers fought; like heroes died,
For years their blood they gave
That honor, home and Peace be ours:
Awake! Thy country save!
Our flag for honor ever stands
To lift the weak, to lead the free.
America, our blessed land,
Is calling, calling thee.
From North to South; from Sea to Sea,
I hear the answering cry;
"Thy sons forever shall be free
For thee will live and die!"
Then fling Old Glory to the main
Beneath her stars enroll,
For cowardice shall never stain
The glory of her folds.
The Stars and Stripes shall lead us on
A mighty host for right — That Peace shall reign forevermore
And war from Earth take flight.
