(By A. E. STAKEMANN.) | People of Slesvig! | The Day has come; we f wish to return home. That in which Gener- | ations have had faith, | that for which our ; Fathers have fought, .that f.r which our | Mothers have went, the Hope, which has | carried our Somns through war and death, 18 now about being ful- Jilled. Thus sounded.in part the appeal to the - People of Slesvig, who in conformity with the Treaty of Versailies should de- cide the question of their reanion with Denmark. The Day (not the German ‘‘DERTAG”’) has come and._is passed and the question has been answered with: “WE WILL RETURN HOME?. ' According to cablr News which reach- ed here yesterday, the plebiscite taken in virtue of the Versailles Treaty resulted in ar. overwhelming majority in favor of Denmark. ! By this vote a part of that territory, which the Prussians and Austrians, after a war bravely fought\ by the Danes against an overwhelming force of the in vading Prussians and Austrians, in 1864 annexed and administered with an iron hand, has now come back to Denmark by a free vote of 75,000 of the inhabi- tants against but 24,000 o~ over 75% majority. Thus has been rectified another of the grcat injustices committed by the Ger- mans against an unpffending people an another disregard shown for the sacred- ness of treaties. : After the war with Denmark was end- ed the Prussians and Austri ns could not agree on dividing *he spoils, in conse- quence of whicha war between thes2 two Powers took place, resulting in the Peace Treaty at Praque in 1866, by sec- tion V. of which treaty it was stipulated that Prussia should annex Holstein ani Slesvig, with the excepticn, hcwever, of the Northern part oi Sle : 7ig, ie inhab - tanis of which should cecide -or 'hen - seives by viebiscite, whether :i.ev wou d beiong (v Veumark or Germiny. Tle latter Power, however, with a2 supreme indifference as to Tre ty stipulations ard knowing tne fceling of the inhabi:ants. has never aliowed the plebiszite to le taken, and orly now, wl en forced, ha e had to stbmic to samne. bor taging tne plebiscice HSlesvig wis divided 1n three Zones. Norta, Midcle and Souih Slesvig. On the 29°h. of Junuary last the alli:d Forces cecupied aad admiristered the territory, in which rhe piesiscite was o be neld, and whie | simuitanejusly ws vacated by all German Civil ar.d M:lita 'y Aughorities. On the 10th inst. the plebiscite was held in the first Zone, aad tha: pait was in consequenca of the c:sult vacated )y the Allied Auchonties :nd hzndec over to the Danish Authorities. _ The next plebiscite wiil be held in tae second Zone on the Tth of March. A true and iuyal peopie bhas thusebecn celieved of German oppr2ssi n and ncw return home to their beloved MNoth:r Country. : May the Reunion prove of everlasting happiness and prosperity to both par- ties.
