Brave Deeds in War:

Every great war is followed by
harvest of anecdotes of bravery,
which find the light only by degrees.
The anecdotal history OF our great
civil war has yet scarcely been com
pleted. In France there has lately ap.
peared book entitled, "Frenchmen
and Germans" which contains many
stories of brave acts done in the war
1870, some of which are we'll worth
recording.
At the battle of Forbach, on Au-
gust 6, 1870, when the French under
Fossard were badly beaten by the Ger
mans under Prince Frederick Charles,
three pieces of artillery had been
abandoned by the French. Two Off
GERS and some soldiers, thinking they
saw chance to recover them, made
q desperate charge upon them lii the
face of perfect rain OF file from the
machine guns of the Germans.
They succeeded in getting possession
of the guns, but found under one or
them. writhing with wounds, the COM
mander OF the battery, Lieutenant
Chabord. The little troop left their
work OF rescuing the guns to help and
bear away the wounded officer.
: mo Chabord exclaimed. "Save my
poor guns, first. and then you may
think about melt you have time"
This brave speech was quite equaled
by that OF an artilleryman who also lay
bleeding and dying by the ecommandant
of the battery. Seeing the inexperienc-
ed men hitching the horses to the
canon, and preparing so drive away
with them, he raised himself partly up
and called out:
ITO the right! Turn to the right!
Don't you see you'll get all tangled
up"
Then he sunk down and died. His
last thought had been for his gun.
During the retreat OF the defeated
French from Sarreguemlnes, an Alsa-
tian in the French service, Kroeuter
by name, was cut off from his COM
pany, which, however, remained but
short distance away. He stood
still, firing steadily at the enemy.
Presently ball struck him in the
shoulder; but in spite OF the pain, he
continued firing. By-and-by ball
struck his cap, knocked that off, and
took q little piece OF the scalp with it.
Kroeuter tied his handkerchief around
his head, covering the wound, and
went on firing.
Presently he was struck third
time, and this time the ball carried
away two of his fingers, and the
shock was so severe that he fell to the
ground. But in a moment he sprang
up; struck the ground with the butt
of his gun, and called out rather angri-
ly:
"Ha, you Williams! So you shoot
at the same one every time, ehl''
An order from his superior officer
had to be sent to kroeuter to come
in, before, thrice wounded as he was,
he would consent to abandon his per-
ilous post.

EMpEROR WILLIAM.

In 1857 he was commissioned king regent
owing TO the incapacity of the actual king.
In l,Gl he assembled the throne, and in
1861 he became the head of the North Ger
man confederation. In July, 1870. Will
helm held the memorable interview
with the French ambassador, Benedett,
which resulted in the war of 1870 The
king accompanied the army and com
manded in person at Grave,otte and Sedan.
In ISL, in the palace of the French kings
at Versailles, Wi helm was formally pro
claimed emperor of Germany. During the
latter years of his reign the emperor has
won the regard of his people who have in
dulge in fire uenJ demonstrations TO in
dictate their loyalty. Wilhelm married
Maria ouisa of Sake. " eimar in 1879, and
had two children, Frederick Wilhelm, the
crown prince, who married Victoria, the
princess royal of England, and Louisa, the
grand duchess of BADEN.
The emperor's life work has been TO re-
organize and perfect the German army.
He began this as regent, in the face OF
great opposition, and continued II as a
king. TO aid him in the scheme he sum-
moned Bismarck TO the head of affairs. To
gether the era was accomplished and with
out a revolution. Bismarck owes much to
Wilhelm, but 10 will always be mooted
question whether Wilhelm did not owe
more TO the Iron Prince.
The heir apparent TO the German throne
is the now dying crown prince, rederlck
William. He is 81 years old, and some OF
the events Of his life have more than or
binary interest. In ISIS he was married
to the Princess Victoria, daughter of the
queen of England. She made him model
husband ana father, which is not always
the case with his family. In 1883 they cele-
brated their silver wedding. He has taken
part in the Danish, Austrian and French
wars, and in the last one he showed great
bravery and military skill. He was great
traveller before his illness and in good fav-
or with the people and the army.

His on, the young Prince William who
is empowered by the dead emperor
proclamation to sign royal DEGREES, and
transact some affairs OF state, Is p years
old, was trained in the military schools at
Wiesbaden, after his father had appren-
ticed him to a glover, for, like all the
crown princes children, he had TO learn n
trade. While at school he showed HIM
self to be a pretty sensible fellow, not
above association with his poorer fellows,
with whom he used to swap lunches for
the sake or getting German peasant s
black bread. His lett hand is deformed,
and has to be kept gloved constantly,
much to the princes modification. lie Is

Opinions on the poss bic effect OF the
emperor's death upon the peace of Europe
are as varied as opinions upon one subject
can well be. The opinion most generally
entertained. however. is that the demise
of the kaiser will have less influence across
the German frontier in any direction than
it will have in the empire itself.
Already Prince William is empowered
TO transact certain state business and the
hour cannot be far distant when his right
to transact all business of that character
will lie unquestioned. Fears have been
expressed that the succession of Prince
William to the throne, either as regent or
emperor, would be the signal for Euro
lean war, tut there is much greater reason
to fear that not Insignificant portion of
the people Of Germany will resent in a
manner not TO ne mistaken the subSefV-
lance of the young ruler TO the man of
iron, whose conviction that Germany
should dominate Europe Is "A consuming
passion.
IL has often been predicted that the
death of Kaiser William would mark the
beginning of the disintegration of the
German empire through the overcoming
ambition of the man who was the master
spirit of its erection; and, If these predic-
tions are ever realized, their fuiiilment
will more likely be brought about by a
civil revolt against the unrestrained policy
of Prince Bismarck than by the defeat Of
Germany in a foreign war.
