Geners.1 Siral.

This distinguished officer, who has just
added new iaurels to his already brilliant
military reputation, was born in Carlesrube,
the Capital of the Grand Dnkedom Of Ba-
len, where he also received his education
at the military academy. At the age Of
eighteen he was appointed a first lieutenant
in the regular army. As such he publish
ed a series Of new spaper articles on. some OF
the defects and abuses in the German ar
mics, which created quite a sensation IN
military circles. His bold and regardless
criticisms brought on aim the disfavor of
his government and bis dismissal from the
service, but, at the same time served TO es-
ta6lish his reputation as an officer Of I'M
common talents aud thorough military
knowledge. When, in 1913, the reyolu-
tionary movement broke out in Baden, his
republican psociTities made him join the
revolutionary army, Of which he was soon
after elected commander-in-chief, being then
only % years old. In several engagements
he proved his practical skill to be equal to
theoretical abilities. AT the battle OF Vein
helm, where, with 1900 men, he defeated
1000 regular Hession troops, he was seen
in the thickest Of the fight, his helmet rid
died with balls. AT the battle OF Often
bach and on other occasions he was equal
" successful against superiorfo forces. When
finally obliged to yield TO the oyerwhelm-
inc strength Of the enemy-he had but 49,
900 men, part of them volunteering re-
cruits against regular army Of $4,000
royalists under the command of thepresent
King of Prussia-he made his famous re-
treat to Switzerland, during which he con-
tinually checked the advancing enemies by
repeated attacks, coming out Of all engage
ments with smaller loss OF lives than the
enemy.
Not allowed to remain n Switzerland,
he came to New York, whe g he sustained
himself, first by selling tobac 20 and segars,
then by publishing military periodical
and large work on military science, and
finally by teaching mathematics at the Ger
nlan-English Academy of DR.. Dulon. At
the outbreak of the secession movement ID
Missouri he was a Professor OF mathemat-
les in st. Louis. General Sigel possesses
in an eminent degree the two qualities,
rarely combined in the same person, OF be-
ing bold, dashing commander and skill
full and prudent tactician. Madison Ar
