tary service.
How can men, jealous of their honor
endure with tranquility all the favors
bestowed upon pledged volunteers!
If it is necessary to have an army, lei
all Frenchmen be soldiers on an equal
footing. /
There are still other iniustices that
ought to engage soldiers to revolt against
the present organization. Why, for ex.
ample, are they deprived>of their politi.
cal rights?
The suspicion fastened upon those who
are called to spill! their blood for the
country constitutes a revolving injury
and demonstrates that governments con,
Germ themselves more in having an army
to oppose the people rather than the
enemy.
| Again, why aresoldiers placed under a
special code? Why, aside from faults
pertaining purely to discipline, are they
mot brought before the bars of justice Of
1theh county rather: than handed over ia
court-martias
All these inequalities, all these mon
strosities we wish to destroy Soldier,
brother, pariah, bent under the most
horrible Of yokes, aid US in the work OF
our common emancipation
Cease to lend thy arms to our tyrants,
and tyranny will become henceforth i'm
possible. Think of the curses that will
fall upon thy head if thou turneth thy
arms against thy brothers.
When the day of the great struggle
shall have come, forget not that thou
hast the same interests as those against
whom you will be called upon to march
Let our cry for revolution find an echo
in thy heart and thy mind, that our COM
mon enemies may be utterly crushed.
If thou but really wish it, great social
reparatlons will be accomplished without
the constituted authorities being able to
| oppose a serious resistance Thy revolu-
tionary role is easy to fill; thou canst
promptly annihlate, without incurring
personal danger, the force of government.
Yet again. We count on thee.
METHODS OF ACTION FOR SOLDIERS DE
CIDED TO AID THE REVOLUTION,
WHATEVER MAY BE THEIR
NUMBERS.
First-At the frst news of the insur-
rection every revolutionary soldier ought
to fire the barracks where he may be
stationed; for this purpose he will select
the points where are stored the wood,
straw and forage; in any case he should
fire the mattresses, having first taken
care to empty one to give more vent to
the flames TO start the fire he could use
a mixture of petroleum and alcohol Pc
troleum only, or even simple match,
according to circumstances. AS soon as
the fire has begun to blaze, open the gas
jets in the halls and rooms.
Second-Amid the confusion that
would necessarily result as soon as the
fire begins to spread, openly proclaim
your revolt and pitilessly strike down
the officers until not one is left standing
before you.
Third-The soldiers should then leave
their burning barracks, carrying with
them their rifles and munitions OF war
to aid the wokmen in crushing the
forces of the polite. The headquarters
and all the stations of the police should
be Immediately set on fire, as well as all
buildings which Ould serve as a point of
rallyment for the governmental forces.
Fourth-Besides petroleum alone,
which has the fanlt of not igniting in
stantly, the mixtIre of half and half of
petroleum and altohol, which is prefer
able, and the opening of the gas jets,
they can use PREPARATION that kindles
itself some minutes after it has been
poured upon an ilhammable material
this preparation, which can be poured
secretely, is composed Of sulphuret of
carbon or the essence" of petroleum,
saturated with wlite PHOSPHORUS; the
phosphOrous dissONes cold.
Fiith-In case wnere the materials in
dicated are not convenient to obtain,
they should content themselves with
opening the gas jets and the use of
matches.
Sixth-By putting separately into two
bottles the spirits of turpentlne and sui
phuric acid, carefully cOrked, and in at
taching the two bottles, one against the
other, you have only to throw them
against hard substance to obtain an
immediate conhagraion produced by the
mixture of the twoIiquids at the same
instant the two bottles are broken. This
instrument could beemployed, not only
for incendiary purposes but elso against
the troops who should march against the
people; to throw these upon them would
cover them with showers of fire.
Seventh-Thick iottles covered with
cloth or paper to prevent their breaking
when falling on thu ground, and filled
with ordinary poWle and shot, form
very effective bombs for street fights.
Thrown after the fus has been lighted,
with which they shd dlld always be pro-
vided, they can promptly disable entire
SQUADS in riddling the limbs of the as
sailants Common slot used in ordinary
muskets, and in aiming at the height of
the face, has decisi'e result in combats
At short distances, es specially against the
police.
It Intentionally tat we have includ
ed among the methods of action for SOL
diers some of those thich may be en-
| Slowed by insurgents we desire that our
manifesto serve also The latter and in
struct also our enemiS, that they will be
powerless to prevent he revolution, that
| is to say, the destruction OF the social
order based on the mi Instrous privileges
accorded to some andon the iniquitous
subsection of others.
If after having read all that precedes,
| some son of the boureois affects to utter
cries of horror, answe for him that M.
Theirs did not hesitat to put Paris to
fire and blood, and tht the entire bour-
geoise warmly applau led the incendiar-
