During all former ages has Germany been the
field where the continental wars were fought; it il.
therefore quite natural for tho Germans to fear that
such will again be the case, and the accession VI
Louis Napoleon as the Emperor Of the Freaoh
sooner or later be followed by repetition of war.
Louis Napoleon owes his elevation to the army,
to the Roman Catholic hierarchy TO the prolstaraas
Of Paris and principally 60 the agriculurists The

The young and able men Of the agricultursts
