From the birth of the century down
to the eventful June day at Waterloo,
Napoleon Bonaparte stands pye-emi-
nently the most conspicuous character
in all Europe's history. Contemporary
with him. unknown n unnoticed. as
much Of q conqueror as Napoleon,
walked in the dark places Nathan
Rothschild. One can look back. and.
judging by results, Napoleon never left
the impress for evil on the people of
Europe that did this golden calf whom
all England worshipped. History in
forms US of the millions of Frenchmen
who died On Europe's battlefields; the
millions from other European nations
dragged into wars Of unholy origin; of
SPANS great gony, rent sunde by
Bourbons. Carlists and other inferno
cine strifes, fomented by England-and
all attributed to the curbing of the
boundless ambition of Napoleon. Coun-
tries made desolate, Europe's best
blood running In oceans. h wealth OF
all countries d~issipated in war and all
its concomitant horrors. Amid all
the strife and carnage was the one SOL
itary. human vulture. who with YAM
pirean instincts was safely perched
aloft, where his gloated vision beheld
with ecstasy the devastation upon
which he and his kind was to fatten.
THE wan Of Napoleon ended at
Waterloo. The great arrangements OF
government which occurred during his
ftfully feverish reign are now but

victorious armies. His IL no more a
