The scene of this guerrilla warfare is so shifting,
the result uncertain that would be Idle TO spend mucl
time IN describing IT, or TO base any Prtori conclusion
upon what communicated u.s. either by the Liberals

the amount OF money they Will be able 10 raise. As TO
France, they must give up tie hope Of any further hell
