Can H,russians Whip Freachmcn

Referring to the battles of 1912, 1914, and
1916, in which the Prussians were often ex
clusively pitted against the French alone, so
as to afford test trials of the relative fighting
prowess Of these two peoples, well informed
European writer in the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, Mr.. Daniel Roemer, says:
There were ten great battles in 1872,
namely: Lutzen, May 2 Bautzen, May 20 and
81; Lucknau, June 3; Gross Beeren August
%; Katzbach, August 26; Dresden, August 26
and 27; Kuhn, August 30; DenDewilz, Sep
tember 6; Leipsic, 16, IS and 10; Hanau, Oc-
tober 20 and 80, besides the engagement of
Wartenberg, October 8; the combat of Mock
ern, near Magdeburg, April 5, not to be con-
founded with the battle OF Moekern, October
16, which formed an episode in the battle of
Leipsic. The combats of Konigswarthe and
Weissig, May IS; the combat Am Goerder
Wald. September 16; the combat rear Wei
mar, between Tetlenhorn and LIE Fevre De-
crouettess, whose date have forgotten, and
innumerable smaller fights impossible to re-
member.
The only battles in which Prussians alone.
without being encumbered by Russians or
Austrians, fought the French were Lucknau
Gross Beeren, Katzbach and Dennewltz. and
the engagement mt OF Wartenberg, in all five of
WHICH, tnc IuSSlduo were VICTORIOUS. The
battle of Dennewitz is, moreover, tte most
glorious victory OF this century. Forty thou
sand Prussians, under Bulow, utterly routed
seventy thousand Frenchmen under Ney. No
nation can show such glorious victory in
the present century. In the year 1914, there
were six important battles: La Rother FEB.
II, Bar sur Aube lFeb. 27), Leon March o,
10), MonteTeuu March Is, believed, Arcis
sur Aube March 20) and Paris March 30) I;
then the engagement OF Craonne March 8, If
l remember right, the combats Of Chempau-
best, Vauchamps, Etages, Montmirai, besides
| minor fights, as, for instance, La Fere Cham
penoise. OF these the Prussians alone en-
gagged the French at Laon, Etoees and Mont
mirail, in the first VIGOROUSLY; in the two lat
ter they were beaten. In 1915 there were two
battles, Ligney and Waterloo, and two en-
| gagements, at Quatrebras and Wavre, besides
the smaller fights. Or these the Prussians
fought alone at LiGney and Wavre. In the
| former they were beaten; the latter was un-

Mr.. Hamilton Fish ard Our Foreign
Policy.
(From the New York Standard !

(From the New York Standard
The wisdom and prudence shown by Mr..
Fish in the State Department may be seen
when we survey the present condition of cur
foreign relations.
The principal duty of Mr.. Fish, as Secreta-
ry of State, was to keep the peace and assist
in paying the debt. This was not brilliant,
but an exceedingly useful function.
America at peace is the arbiter of Europe
at war, and this is the glory of Mr.. Fish's ad-
ministration, the one splendid fact that will
grow brighter every day. We have the op-
portunity to redeem and regain much of what
We lost in our own civil war. The commerce
of Europe will seek our flag. Had Congress
seconded the demand of the President, that
flag would have covered more fleets than ever
sailed beneath it. The uncertainty of peace
at any time that will be truly peace; the
growing dissatisfaction with the European
systems of standing armies and monarchies,
and the power of one ruler to throw million
men into 4 peaceful nation within week;
the great changes that must follow this war,
whatever its result may be-all of this will
compel the prudent men of Europe to seek in
America that security for property that cam
not be found at home. The confidence that
Mr.. Fish has inspired is stable and uDbroken.
People of other lands begin TO trust America.
They see President whose lite shows him
brave enough TO make war, now showing the
highest quality Of ruler by being bra.e
enough to keep the peace. In this he has
been warmly seconded by his Secretary of
State. For this the Countrywide sober, think
ing, tax-paying country-will homer him.
We might have a more gaudy Secretary
than Mr.. Fish; we might have one more di-
rec.ly connected with the machinery of the
party; we might have minister more deeply
| in "the confidence" of such eager Republic
| cans as those who met on Thursday evening
| to revise our relations with France and Prus-
sia in series of resolutions; we might have
| Secretary like Gen. Logan, or Senator Chan
dler, or Gen. Banks, who would fly our eagle
bird forever in the diplomatic empyrean; we
might have State Department which would
keep the country in an electrical condition
liable to galvanic influence every moon. and
ready with war at any moment, as thorough
and prompt as this deplorable war on the
Rhine All of this might well be. But the
country is satisfied with its Secretary OF State.
We have a patient, earnest, hard-working,
| faithful officer, who leaves home of ease Tor
| the stern duties of difficult Office. Hamil-
| ton Fish has served his country we'll He has
| served it amid storm of defamation and cal
umny which would long ago have destroyed
any statesman but one of serene, patriotic,
resOlute nature. In the end his reward will
be greater and more enduring.

Wednesday Morning, July 27, 1870.


The great mass of women can neser be
made to take deep, sincere, discriminate
ing, lasting interest in the thousand politi-
cal questions ever arising to be settled by the
vote They very soon weary of such questions.
On great occasions they can work themselves
up to state of frenzied excitement over some
one political question. At such times they
can parade degree Of unreasoning prejudice,
ofpassionate hatred, of blind fury, even be-
yond what man can boast of. But, in their
natural condition, in everyday life, they do
not take instinctively to politics as men do.
Men are born politicians; just as they are
born masOns and carpenters, and soldiers and
sailors. Not so women. Their thoughts and
feelings are given to other matters. The cur
rent of their chosen avocatioIs runs in anoth-
er channel than that Of politics-a channel
generally quite out OF politics; it is an effort
lor them to turn from one to the other. With
men, on the contrary, politics, either directly
or indirectly, are closely, palpably, inevitably
blended with their regular work IN life. They
give their attention unconsciously, spontane-
ously, to politics. Look at family of children,
half boys, half girls; the boys take instructive
y to whips and guns and balls and bats and
horses, to fighting and wrestling and riding;
VIZ 6hiS iohuiC tuCu uOliS, Dt1 IOf q needle
and thread, play at Housekeeping, at giving
t."-Pii ufe ., az uiSin S'Sis ss~af'
ing school. That difference lasts through life.
Give your son, as he grows up, gun and
vote; he will delight in both. Give your
daughter, as she grows up, gun and a VOTE
and, unless she be an exceptionable woman,
she will make really good use ofneither.
Your son may be dull; but he will make
good soldier, and very toleiable voter. Your
daughter may be very clever; but she would
certainly run away on the battlefield, and
very probably draw a caricature ON the eec-
ton ticket. There is the making ofan admir-
able wife and mother. and valuable member
OF society in that clever young woman. She
is highly intelligent, thoroughly well educated,
reads Greek and Latin, and has a wider range
OF knowledge and thought than ninety nine in
a hundred of the voters in the same district;
but there is nothing of the politician in her
nature. She would rather any day read
fine poem than the best political speech OF the
hour. What she does know OF politics reaches
her through that dull but worthy brother of
hers. 1t is only occasionally that we meet
women with an inherent bias for politics and
those are not as a rule, the highest type of
the sex-it is only occasionally that they are
so. The interest that most women feel in
politics is secondary, facetious, engrafted on
them by the men nearest to them.-SUsAN
