The Duke Of Wellington's Famous Waterloo
Speech Declared to be a Myth.

Somebody once asked the Duke
of Wellington if speeches on the
battlefield were really made as re.

The Duke said: "What effect on
the whole army can be made by a
| speech, since you cannot convenient
ly make it heard by more than 900
men standing about you2"
| Then the Duke was asked if it
were not the fact that Napoleon
| delivered some rather notable ora
tions on the fl I'D. The Duke would
not have it.
"The prociamations YOU read Of
in the French army were much
more seen in the papers than by
the solders-they were meant for
Paris. "
1t was alright, the Duke agreed,
to address regiment upon present
ing it with colors and that sort of
thing. On the whole, Freuch troops
might be more impressed by a
speech than the English, who in
the Dukes Waterloo army were,
he declared, "the scum OF the earth,
who had all enlisted for drink. Z"
The French, with their system of
conscription, had a fair sprinEliug

What happened at Waterloo was
this: Wellington sent an orderly to

battle to an English general, and
upon the galloper's return asked
did you give General-my
