WHAT THE FRENCH REPUBLICANS MUST 90 TO SAVE FRANCE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
If the republicans can now save France they
might do it just well without the aid OF Napoleon
his inability as commander.in-chief OF an army
being fully recognized. Even If he could be of any
utility In the field, who on earth would believe the
man wno himself as well as his family, is notorious
for breaking the most solemn oaths9 After all,
doubt very much II the republicans could check the
success Of Prussia at the present time. They might
do 30, but think their chance very poor one.
Nothing can reestablish that elan, that confidence in
their generals and in their own value which Napo-
leon 80 fOOlshly wasted by his hesitation to cross
the enemy's frOntier. One lock on the contrasting
armies shows the difference between the forces The
belligerents can dispose OF. AS the Garde Mobile
and the Garde Rationale are existing only on paper
and half OF the army in Paris and the fortresses,
France has IN the field scarcely 100000 men to Op
pose TO the million that Prussia is pouring out into
her eastern provinces Since the barbara times OF
the Huns we do not find In history popular move
ment or similar proportions. / must admit that I
have given up all hope for French victory. But
France will never submit for long time TO a ruler
imposed on her by foreigners; she will never submit
taking revenge sooner or later, The only solid
guarantee for lasting peace in Europe lies In the
question II Prussia Is going 10 break the integrity OF
French nationality. At present let France have
peace; let her dispense with the man who, by his
ignorance, has brought such misfortune over his
country; let her have free government; let her
construct her army popular basis not adapted
boundaries; she will show astonlshed Europe that
the French people Of to-day are the worthy descen-
dants OF the men who established four republics
against the will of the coaesced monarchs.
