The Central Committee of the German section of the "International
Workmen's Association" resident at Brunswick issued on the 5th inst. a
manifesto to the German working class, calling upon them to prevent the
annexation of Alsace and Lorraine, and to bring about an honourable
peace with the French Republic. Not only has their manifesto been con-
fiscated by the order of the commanding-general, Vogel von Francken-
stein, but all the members of the committee, even the unfortunate printer
of the document, were arrested and chained like common felons, and sent
to Lotzen, in Eastern Prussia.
