bic effects Of the Pmssan ncedc-gun, bat even If that

stand why the AustrGns undcryaued that weapon for full
2j years They saw it in the hands of their Prussan al
lies Of that date and had abundant opportunity of bccom
ing acquainted with the invention, since at Mentz
and Rasadt and at Frankfort there were mixed Austro-
Pussian garrsons and in the Danish war Cen Gabenn
was certainly able To the execution those heeGeSuhs
made in the lines OF the enemy. Still must acknOw
ledge that in the present war the Prdsslas had moi Ohy
q superior armament. but likewise better plan OF cam
pagn and the rapid execution Of that plan cannot be SUIT

won the cnyabe fame as one ofhe greatest generals
Of the age. To appreciate his merits IL Is enough
