fence.


However the struggle of Paris ruay be
regarded (says the New York Herald by
those who believed that its fall was inevi-
table, there is no doubt that the defence of
the Capital will ell noble page in French
history. Fighting against odds, battling
against famine, Ncontending against the
evil influences Of base, bloody and brutal
disturbers within, while from without the
rain of shot and shell brought terror and
CONSERVATION to the people, the struggle
was maintained. To the provinces anxious
thoughts were directed, with anxious hopes
that France would come to the rescue of
Paris. Patiently that day was awaited.
Amid cold and hunger and sickness and
disease the Parisians still hoped on. Day
by day deaths increased in the Capital.
Famine was accomplishing its dreadful
mission of destruction. Homes destroyed,
hearths desolated, familiar faces disappear
ing, misery everywhere met the eye in the
streets of the Capital of France. Then,
and not until then, did the government
become convinced OF the necessity of
yielding, and, acting under this conviction,
laid down its arms at the feet of the con-
queror.
