THE CAUSE OF THE FRENCH DEFEATS
Edmund About, the French journalist, gives
the following as one of the causes of the lack
of French success:
The officers, the soldiers, and the citizens
who have been brought into contact with the
army, unanimously complain of the Ignorance
and infatuation of its leaders. While the
youngest cadet of the enemy's army thorough
ly understands French topography, our CEN
erals are wholly unacquainted with their own
country. The little square maps which thew
have recently distributed are nothing but
"chiflons derisores," and the chart Of the
Etatmajor, of which there are too few evan
pies, is so far from being up to the mark that
strategical road which had been completed
more than five years, is not even noticed i'm
IT, Yesterday one OF my friends met gener-
al galoping as hard as he could in the valley
OF Behrenshbach, turning his back on Phals-
9urg, where he imagined he was going. In
Lorraine, as In Aastia, the inhabitants were
placed at the disposal of the military authori-
ties. But their services were refused with su
preme dlsdain. The French army would not
enighten itself, and would not allow that
others should enlighten it. 1t pretended to
be sufficient for itself, and the event has
shown how that preteIsion was founded:
Most of our chiefs have acquired the art OF
war in Africa against the Arabs, VINO are ,ne
worst tacticians in the world. They are con-
vinced that victory is certain, that time is OF
little value, and that they may easily remedy
their own mistakes, and profit by those OF the
enemy. The last fifteen days OF the last
montb idlv lost have transformed the CAM
narn of Prussia into the campaign of France.

celebrating the pretended victory of Saar-
bruck, brought about the defeat Of Forbach
For the first time for long while we have

takes. This is, therefore, the very time when
we ought not TO make them ourselves.

THE Nation forcibly says: PRUSSIA has
strong leaven of feudalism in it; but it is
gradually and rapidly getting rid of it; in any
case, not only has feudalism rendered good
service to mankind, but every trace of it is
disappearing, and nowhere more quickly than
in North Germany. There is no State more
modern" in the best sense of the word than
Prussia; none in which an intelligent human
being counts for more, or in which brains ex-
ercise so much influence on politics. 1t was
very true, as Ernest Renan said, that cit was

We have little doubt they will conquer again

the interest of civilization to hope so, If any
power is to have more weight in the family O

contain most readers and writers, and which,
when it goes to war, has to call most intelli-

the less chance will there be in the world for
the class OF adventures of which the Bona
parties are the most illustrious members. The
RUSSIAN army is fighting for free press. a
free parliament, popular education; for the
supremacy OF reason, over brute force. of the
citizen over the soldier, of law over hired
armies, OF industry over gambling. In other
words, they defend modern civilization against
the worst and latest OF Its enemies.

door load of wood, when Chinese wood
sawyer asked for the job of saving it up.-
"How muchee? ?" asked the judge aHap dol
lar" replied John. A bargain was about to
be struck. when an Irish-American citizen of
the blue blood, demanded the Job. "How
much?" again asked the judge. "a dollar
and half" replied the American citizen.
The Judge demurred, replying that the China
man had just offered to do the same work for
a half dollar. "However," he said, "as pre-
Ter to encourage white American labor, will
pay you dollar and half" whereupon the
white constituent prepared for work, and
John turned away disappointed. But the
judge returned some hours afterward, and to
his surprise, found the Chinaman and not the
white man at work upon his wood-pile.-
