A German return of Alsace-Lorraine to France before 1914

Germany would never give up this area just for an alliance. A German alliance with Russia would be more realistic than an alliance with France. Sure, even if Germany was the arch enemy of France, France would have accepted such an alliance if Germany had given up this land, but since this is totally ASB, such an alliance would not have happened.
The thing is, though, that Germany can acquire much more land from Russia than it can ever acquire from France. :)
