Prince Frederick Charles.

This Prince, who now commands
the center of the Prussian line, Is a
nephew of King William, and not a
brother, as has been enormously stat
ed by some Of the city papers. His
Alexander, third son Of Frederick
William ILL.,, King Of Prussia. He
was born on the Goth of March, 1923,
and bears the name of Fredick Charles
Nicolas. The Prince is a Lieutenant
General of the Prussian army, Com
mander Of the Third army corps and
chief of several regiments. During
the first Schleswig-H g-Holstein war he
behaved with conspicuous gallantry,
for which he was placed at the head
of a regiment which did good service
In the flank attack upon the Danes.
Prince Frederick Charles also aided
in the suppression of the republican
revolutionists of 1913, serving in
South Germ my and receiving a
wound at Wisenthal. For these mil
itary services he was made Lieuton-
ant General. In 1866 he was placed
in command of the Army Ofthe Elbe,
and IL was due To the rapidity of his
movements and to the skillfil hand
ling Of his troops that Marshal Bene-
dek was oifmaneuvred and forced 10
at Sadowa. Prince Fred
erick Charles followed him with Wig
or and struck him at Sadowa, where
the great battle was fought. The ar
rival of the Crown Prince completed
the discontinue Of the Austrians,
but :even had he not come up, the
general testimony Is that Benedek
would have been compelled TO retreat.

Marshal CanrObert.

Marshal Canrobert Is, if anything,
better known as IA soldier than Mar
shal Mcmahon. Like the latter, his
military career began in Algiers, and
he first distinguished himself In the
assault on Constantine. Subsequent
ly, placed In an independent COM
mand, he defeated the Arabs In three
campaigns, in the last of which he
displayed great military skill in the
opposition of his forces. When Louis
Napoleon was President General Can
robert was one of his aldes-de-camp,
and aided in carrying out the coul,
detdt. Sent To the Crlmea in conf
mand of the First division, he partic-
ipated i'm the battle of the Alma,
where he was wounded by splinter
of shell, which struck him in the
breast and hand. After the resigna-
tion of Marshal st. Arnaud General
Canrobert took command OF the
Army of the East, and ut the hattie
of Inkerman greatly distinguished
himselfby his personal valor. He
led the famous charge OF the zouaves,
during which he WAS slightly wound
ed. Bad health compelled him, In
May, 1853, 10 return 10 France, on ar
riving in which country the Emper-
or treated him with marked distinc-
tion. During the Franco Italian war
of 1859 he won fresh laurels by his hero
ism at Magenta, while at Sollerino his
famous movement in aid Of Marshal
Fiel turned the scale Of victory in ia
vor of the French. For these services
he was made Marshal of France. -

during the war with Algiers, In 1880,

In the assault of Constantine. The

and a devoted adherent of the EN-

again distinguished himself by the
celerity of his movements and the
skill he displayed in handling his

due the great victory of Magenta, and
as a reward for his services Napo-

and Duke of Magenta. There Is not

General Moltke is the Major Gen

the reputation of being the ablest Of
ficer in Germany. He was born In
Mecklenburg, but removed to Hol-

acquired property there. He was ed

In the Danish service, but left it and
went to Turkey, where, In 1929, he
first obtained military experience, in
the Turkish army. Returning from
Turkey he ut once obtained COM

for the skill and energy he displayed
in the suppression of the republican
revolution of 1S4S, was rapidly pro-
noted. During the first Schleswig-

part, and in 1853 was appointed Chief

Marshal Bnxaine. Commansler-in-
Chief.

Marshal Francois Achille Bazaine,
the new communicating chief of the
French army, was born in 1871, and
Is the youngest marshal in the SER
vice of France. His father was Cen
eral Pierre Dominique Bazaine, q
French officer who served with dis
tincti0n In the Russian Army. The
subject of this sketch received q fair
education, was conscripted into the
army and after few years of service
was promoted to lieutenancy. In
1887 he took part In the Spanish cam
paign, which resulted in establishing
Queen Isabella on the throne. Suisse
quently he weat to Algeria, where
he distinguished himself in the wars
with the natives and with the Moors.
he was made u general of brigade and
commanded the force which reduced
kinburn, feat which gained much
reputation for him as also a commits
sioner Of major general. After the
evacuation of Sebastapol by the Rus
slams, General Bazaine was made
military governor of the city, and held
the Office until the allied armies with
drew on the conclusion of peace
During the Italian war but
little was heard of the General; but
in 1851 he again appeared prominent
ly before the public as second and
in command of the French expedi-
ton to Mexico. subsequently Cen
eral FOrey retired from the chief
command, and BaZaine succeeded
him. His success against the Mexi-
cans was signal and decisive, and the
rapidity with which he moved his
troops upon the capitol and other
points completely destroyed the Mexi-
can army. The suppression of our
rebellion, and the threatening attitude
of the United State toward France
put an end to French victories. Ba-
zaine and his army withdrew unmO-
Tested by the Mexicans and returned
to France. Previous to this time,
however, he had already been APP
pointed Marshal and Senator of
France, his appointment dating from
1864. Marshal Bazaine
married a Mexican lady of great for
tune, and we believe that the EN-
peror and Empress were sponsors for
his first child.
How well he will perform the du-
ties of the important Office to which
he has been called time alone can de-
eide.

vigOr with which he organized armies,
which, under the command Of Much.
er, enabled the British to gain the
battle of Waterloo. Frederick was
succeeded by his eldest son, Frederick
William W., who died childless In
1851, when the present King of Prus-
sia assembled the throne. 1t will thus
he seen that the Crown Prince OF
Prussia Is a great great-grand nephew
of Frederick the Great, and not n
direct descendant.
Until the Austrian war of 1866, the
Crown Prince was not considered as
possessing any military capacity. In
1853, he married the Princess of Wales,
by whom he has had five children -
two SONS and three daughters. Rumor
has it that oD occasions he adminis-
ters q slight chastisement to his
spouse. In other words, he has been
charged with ill.treating she Princess,
even to the extent of striking her.

several years. Prince Frederick Will

Of Pomerania, inspector of the First

This officer commands the Eighth
corps, which has been stationed at
Metz ever since the war began. He
was born In Paris in 1916, and is de-
scended from Greek family of dis
tinction. Receiving military edu-
cation, he entered the army and was
sent to Algiers, and assigned COM
mand in the Corps d'Afrique. In
1910 he was commissioned a captain
of Iouaves, colonel in 1Si8, and was
made general of brigade in 1854. Dur
ing the Crimean war he distinguished
himself by his skill and lntrepidity.
At Alma, Inkerman, and in the as
sault on Sebastopol, his services were
great, and won for him the rank of
major general. The brief campaign
i'm Italy gave him no opportunity TO
further distinguish himself, although
lie took part in it. Last year General
Bourbaki was placed In command of
the Second camp at Chalons, and
about the same fine was made aid
de-camp to the Emperor. He is a
Grand Officer of the Legion Of Honor,
and in 1864 was decorated by the
King of Prussia with the Ensign of
the First Glass Of the Red Eagle.

Was born i'm 1908, educated at st. Cyr,
and entered the French service In
1881. He saw service i'm Algiers and
Belgium, distinguished himself, and
at the time of the overthrow of Louis
Philippe held the rank of lieutenant
colonel. One of the first to support
the projects of Napoleon he was taken
into favor and promoted to the rank
of brigadier general. During the
Crimean war he served with distinc-
ton, and did good service at the bat
ties of the Alma, Of the MamelOn-
Vert and of Frackter. Subsequently
he was appointed aid-de-camp to the
Emperor and com missioned q major
general. He commanded division
of Marshal Neil's corps during the
Italian war, aud displayed much skill
and daring at the battles of Magenta
and SOlferinO. Three years ago, when
the, Garibaldians moved on Rome,
General de Failly was sent with the
French expeditionary force to pre-
serve the city, and at Montana routed
the rev0lutionists. In reference to
this fight, the general reported that
the Chassep0ts worked wonders. Late
last year he was appointed to com
mand the Third Army corps, but at
the present time Is commander OF the
Fifth corps. Part of his force was en-
gagged in the battle Of Woerth.

III Napoleon is even out of his mind,
his appointment of General Trochu
as Major General of the army, In
place of Leb9uf, is a strong indica-
ton of lucid intervals. The general
is said to possess the best military
mind I'm France ut the present mo-
ment. He was born in 1916, was ed
ucated at the military school of st.
Cyr, entered the army about the year
1889, and saw service in Algiers. AZ
ter the re-establishment of the empire
he was made n colonel, and during
the Crimean war held the position of
chief of the general staff. He was
supposed To he the confidant of Ma
poleon during the struggle, and to
have rendered effective service. 1t Is
believed that he, with Marshal Neil,
planned the italian campaign. Gen.
eral Trochu is said to have anticipated
a war with Prussia, and TO have pre-
pared plan for aggressive and de-
fensive movements. 1t Is quite pro-
bable that his appointment TO his
new position will cause a complete
change in the programme heretofore
followed by the French.

the idea that If any ore was found
there that the climate would prohibit
the manufacture of it into pig and
wrought iron; that workmen could
not, at such employments ms rolling
mills, blast furnaces and foundries
require, stand the climate. General
ly our idea of the climate was wrong,
and we entirely overlooked the exis-
tence Of wonderful deposits of all that
constitutes the wealth of the richest
countries. Coal, iron, copper, zinc,
lead, marble and many Others are the
wealth-yielding minerals of the
South. The first quality of these are
found, and in quantity, as we have
said, beyond our estimate.
