the old problem of Rhlneland forti

According to the terms of the
treaty Germany was allowed to re

"The Rhlns has always played an

says a bulletin from. the Washington,
D. C. headquarters of the National
Geographic society. "A glance at the
map shows many of the most famous
Rhine towns standing on the left

"Since the Versailles treaty the
