German Liberal Press Condemns Metz Fortification Push
Opinion in Germany condemns Count Bismark's plan to convert Metz into a German fortress. The Cologne Gazette argues that conquest for strategic frontiers would spark endless wars and that nationalities doctrine has limits. It supports Alsace and Lorraine terms for Germans but warns population willingness is lacking. The piece notes German measures to mobilize and manage troops, including treatment of invalids and amputation cases, and reports on Jacoby’s arrest, public sentiment, and bans on meetings in Konigsberg and Saxony.
