Napoleon always pretended that 1t was
the coalition of England, Austria ana
Russia that drove him from his plan OF
sacking London, says an English writer
After his victories over the Austrians in
the autumn of 1905 he issued proclama-
ton to his army, in which he said:
"Soldiersi a month ago we were en-
camped on the shore of the ocean oppo-
site to England. but an impious league
compelled us to fly toward the Rhine.
But for the army which is now in front
of you we should have been in London;
we should have avenged ourselves for
six centuries of insults, and restored the
freedom of the seas. But bear in mind
that you are fighting against the allies
of England. Soldiers. tomorrow will be
a hundred times more celebrated than
the day of Marengo." Tomorrow saw

FOURTEEN CREMATED
IN A CONVENT FIRE
Sisters Succumb in an Effort to Save
Lives of Helpless Children.

Montreal-The little village Of st.
Genevieve is in mourning over the
loss of fourteen lives in a fire which
destroyed the convent Of Ste. Anne
there early Friday.
One nun, nine children ranging in
age from 10 to 10, and four aged
women persisted in the flames. Two
nuns were so severely burned that 1t
is feared they will die. In their grief
over the catastrophe the villagers
find some comfort in relating the
heroism displayed by Sister Marie
Adjuteur, who gave up her life, and
Sisters Marie Therese and Marie Rob-
ertine, who were perhaps fatally
burned in their efforts to save tho
lives of the children and helpless old
women in their charge.
The fire started about midnight in
the old ladies hospital, and the smoke
was so thick that the children on tho
floor above were unable to get down.
