FRENCH HOLD MEN IN RESERVE RANKS FOR FUTURE WORK Louis Schwartzentruber, 123 Sout1 Third street, a German-French American, disagrees with the statement contained in the letter received by Adolph Blickwedel from a relative in Germany published yesterday in The Palladium to the effect that France was dominated by England and was decoyed into the war by the latter country. Mr. Schwartzentruber was born in Alsace-Lorraine and came ot this country to avoid the war which he felt was sure to occur. He claims that the French have maintained a militaristic policy, only because Germany's attitude demanded it. France has expected the war for thirty-five years hs says. Recently Mr. Schwartzentruber received a letter from his brother who is serving with the French army. Tha brother has not been sent to the front and says that France has many soldiers in reserve for future battles against the Germans. He writes that the morale of the troops is excellent and that all the soldiers have determined to die rather than serve under German domination. They are fighting for the liberation of France and Belgium, be says in his letter. GIVES LAWN PARTY. WEST MANCHESTER, Ind.. .Tune ! of Mr. and Mrs. William Arens. ".v-Ki- ;
