M. Poincare
denounced
the
insidious
propaganda
of
the Pan-Germans
in
Alsace
apd
abroad
to separate
Alsace Lorraine from France.
The President
of the Council said.
‘‘We
wish
to
have
peace
in
our
hearts,
but we are
too near
the
frontier to cher-
ish
any illusions.
Alsace
will never
be-
lieve that fable
of
German
disarmament
and divines clearly what is hidden
behind
the
police organizations
and
knows
too
well that
stores
nf
arms
are discovered
daily in Germany.
She cannot
believe in
the moral
disarmament
of Germany
and
is
too
well-imformed
of
the
secret
thoughts
of our neighbours’
of which
she
observes
many
manifestations.g.
Do
we
not
see
in
many countries,
notably
in
America,
a
German
campaign
in favour
of the autonomy
and neutrality of Alsace-
Lorraine? nevertheless,

Genoa,
May 22nd.
TLe
declaration
by
M. Techitcherin
to the
Italian
delegation
is contrasted
here with the news Yeceived
frcm
the Black Sea,
according
to
which
the Italian steamer
‘‘Marina’’ was
fired
on and
sunk
by
Russian
bétteries,
half
her
erew
being
killed,
and also
with an
address
by Trotzky to the Communist
ca-
dets,
when
he is reported
to have said to
the future Red officers
‘‘Don’t believe
in
the Genoa
speeches,
trust
only
in
your
bayonets
and batteries.
Conferences
will
not give us what
we need.
This
can only
be obtained
by having the Red army
cross
the
frontiers
of
the
Capitalistic
states
and
have
the
Red
flag
wave
over
the
whole
of Kurore.
Perhaps
during
the
summer
the Red army may be called
upou
to give proof of its fighting force’’.
