Dear Sir; II you could get the exclus-

VALLEY ROUTE SELECTED.

An Auto route TO the jamestown
Exposition form Washington, ID.
{. has been selected by August
Post, of the American Automobile
Association. 1t is expected that
the route selected will be adopted
Officially by the Association at its
next meeting, and followed on its
trip to the jamestown Exposition
next year.
Mr.. Post has completed a trip
from Norfolk to Washington via
Suffolk, Richmond and Fredericks-
burg and returned by the Shen-
sndoah Valley and Three Chops
Roads.
Speaking of his trip Mr.. Post
said: Unlike the roadway from
Norfolk to Washington via Suffolk,
Richmond and Fredericksburg the
route from Washington to Rich
mOnd through the Valley is one
of the most delightful and pictur-
esque in the country. The high
way is between the Blue Pidge
and the Allegheny Mountains and
Is constructed of mscadam almost
its entire length. The distance is
estimated at $50 miles"
The tour of the Association will
start at Chicago, Indianapolis and
Columbus. More than 125 cars
will participate, earring about $50
tourists. The cars will be driven
over the National highway to
Washington where the party will
be Joined by the Eastern contingent
and the run made to Norfolk over
the route indicated.
Now that route traversing such
a beautiful and historic section has
been selected opening up new roads
for automobile travel, Mr.. Post
believes thst hundreds of autoists
will avail themselves of the splen-
did natural conditions and visit the
Exposition.
Plans for a series of speed con-
tests between members of the As
ISOLATION are being considered.

WATERLOO.

Srouchy Was Solely 10 blame For
the Downfall OF Napoleon.
Napoleon would have won the battle
o. Waterloo had Grouchy prevented
The junction Of the Prussians with the
English army, because he would not
have had TO fight two battles at once.
Few persons realize that the so called
battle Of Waterloo was in reality n
double battle. somewhat like Jena and
AuerStadt Napoleon fought one bat.
tie at Waterloo against the English.
on the arrival OF the Prusslans he was
forced 10 go in person toward Planche-
mott and there fight another battle
against the Prussian army, leaving to
Ney the conduct Of the trOOps at Wa.

fact Of the emperor having TO fight

mistake. Moreover, Napoleon did not

campaigns. Desaix, Kleber. Lannes

glance to the BOurbons, and Murat had
split with the emperor. Napoleon's
personal attention was therefore i'm
perative. To Grouchy alone all blame
must be attributed, for had he prevent
ed the union Of the Prussians with the
English the emperor would have had
TO hight only one battle at a time and
could have given his entire personal
attention TO that one battle.
In the second place, Napoleon would
not have been forced to fight with IL.

about 125,O00-nearly two to one
