"Your improvised chiefs of the ma

du pave), said Bismarck to Jules Favre
at their interview at FerriereS a fort

huddled pellmell i'll cattle trucks, the
men silent and depressed, brooding over
their unexpected and blastlike defeat.
Hugo tried TO cheer them. He leaned
out Of his carriage and shouted: 'Vive

there was no response, not even when
