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 Française, 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.
