was no recourse now for the knights but to
sell their lives as dearly as possible. Tbs
bloodiest fighting of the field took place
over the banners of the Austrians. One
banner was defended to the death by no
less than thirty-four Austrian knights and
allies. Another had twelve slain around it
in the last rally, another seven and another
fourteen. In one case the standard bearer
tore up the banner and died with the staff
clinched in his teeth. The Austrians lost
1000 men, 67G killed; the Swiss lost go
killed and nearly all of their leaders. Tho
battle was fought July 9, 1886. The tide OF
victory ushered in by the brave Winkelried
did not stop with the battle of Sempach.
The confederates went on with conquest
after conquest, and gained adherents from
the lands they freed of lordly tyrants. At
last Austria negotiated and secured a truce
with the brave cantonese.
At the end of the truce the Austrians
and their partisans in Switzerland resumed
hostilities, and by treachery and cruelty
combined stirred up the confederates.
Another bloody battle took place at Nafels,
in 1888, where the Austrian cavalry was
defeated in a mountain fight with terrible
slaughter. The Swiss rolled rocks and
stones down the precipices upon the horse
men, and caused a Stampede that soon
affected the infantry, and the battle ended
In confusion for the Austrians. Over two
thousand were killed. As a result of this
victory Switzerland had peace with Aus
tria for twenty years. The confederacy
grew in strength and wealth, and laid the
foundation of its great prosperity. Sem
pach is recognized as the opening stroke OF
a successful and fruitful war.

simple account given with the famous
poem and in biographical notices. Unlike
many a brilliant episode, the grandeur of
this does not lie simply in the startling
climax; glory preceded and followed the
wonderful deed The words MAKE way
iorliberty" on the lips of Winkelried meant
a great deal.
The struggles Of the people Of Switzer-
land against the rapacious lords at homo
and invaders and despoilers from abroad
have made them celebrated among the
freemen Of the earth. 1t was in a conflict
with tyrannical Austrians that a handful
of patriots went out to do battle, and one
of their number to achieve undying fame
and purchase liberty. For a generation
there had existed confederation Of eight
cantons for the purpose of defense. They
had enemies at their doors in the persons
of powerful lords and their robber re-
tainers, and the rulers Of Austria let pass
no opportunity to injure them In retalia-
ton for damages done in past wars. One
day few villagers who were oppressed by
an increase of taxes proposed to their
neighbors of the city of Luzerne league
of rights, and the lord whose gains were
thus menaced put the leaders OF the move
ment to death.
This cruelty was q spark that set the
whole confederation on fire. A diet was
held, war was declared on the lords in gem
eral, and the latter rested their cause with
Duke Leopold, of Austria. The duke
marched upon Luzerne at the head of two
columns-one of infantry and one of mount
ell knights. The latter numbered 1900.
The confederates had camp at Adelwyl,
near Sempach, on the road to LuZerne. and
mustered 400 men. They were led by
Petermann, Of Gundolfingen. When Leo
pold's knights saw the contemplate force
that barred the road TO Luzerne, the city
they had set out especially to punish, they
demanded to be led on alone without wait
ing for the infantry to reach the field. The
duke yielded to the demand, and dis
mounted the force because the Swiss posi-
tons were billy and unsuited for cavalry
movements. The column was formed in
square, having sides four ranks deep, the
rear ranks extending their spears forward
30 that the front should appear an i'm
penetrable hedge Of pointed steel
The Swiss leader after the customary
prayer, said to his followers, ''If any one is
present who feels himself unable to cope
with four of The enemy let him retire"
Two hundred men belonging to the region
which had originated the trouble marched
out, and there were 200 remaining. These
formed in the shape of a wedge, Gundolfn-
gen standing ut the point with a soldier on
zach side of him. The next rank had five
soldiers, and the third seven, and so on.
When Duke Leopold's knights saw the
curious formation of their own column,
and learned that their leader proposed that
she square should advance and with leveled
ances brush away all opposition, they set
ap derisive shout. The duke exclaimed,
Here on my own land, for my people,
will die"
The ground on which the battle took
place was held to unwilling allegiance by
the Austrians
The Swiss did not stand still 70 await
