DAZAINE AND HIS ESCAPE,

Dazainc, af1or an imprisonment Of over half 4
year, laa escaped. Outside OF Franco, there
will bo little rcgrot that tho old soldier Is again
at liberty. Even Foreigners who feel friendly
to franco, aud who aro willing to acknowledge
that Bnzaino was not altogether without b)a,no
will rojoico TINT lo is free. Franco made an OK
amplo of hor famous Marshal. sho has gained
by tho simple act Of imprisonment all that Bho
had hoped to gain. His escape will not mato-
rially affect tho influence Of tho example sho in-
tended to mnko And, aftcr nil, tho Matahal
vas no traitor. Dnzaino, although always crod-
tied with great military gonlus, with tho ability
Of conducting warliko operations on largo
fold Of battle, waa nevertheless noted
for lack Of rapldity Of execution; for q
wayoriug, temporizing disposition; md for
tho habit Of countor1uandlug his own ordorH.
Ills good qualities led him to tho MareAalato,
his yaciilating character to imprisonment. Ba-
zaiuc was botll soldier and politician; but In
the Franco-p prusslan war aud In his defenso, or
rather absence OF Defense Of Motz, ho aunls
tho sodlor In tho politician. 1t waB too

It laaa boon often said that Dazaino waa made

lo may have boen scapegoat But there must
hayo beon something to warrant 1t. T4cra n,,lat

Aftor Tho battle Of Dorny, on Aug. II, Dazatno
