On Field OF Waterloo
Where the Shattered Eagles o. tie
French Sank to Earth ior lest
Especial Correspondence

While standing on the great knoll
which rises over 200 feet in the very
center of the battlefield of Waterloo,
turned to the commander of the
United States army and asked;
General, to what do you especial
ly attribute Napoleon's defeat?"
Before answering, Gen. Chaffee, who
had accompanied Congressman Moon
and myself on an automobile trip over
entire battlefield, stopping here and
there making minute study OF the
lay Of the ground, the grades, the for
ests and the Notifications to Hougou-
mont, meditated for moment and
then replied rather slowly but as inn
pressively as a soldier would naturally
speak on such battlefield:
zone reason for his defeat was the
fact that he weakened himself fatally
when he divided his army, sending
Grouchy after the Prussians in one di-
rection and Ney after the allied forces
in another. But | believe more inn
portant reason was the fact that Ma
poleon's time had come and that a
commander greater than either Well
ington or Napoleon had ordained his
defeat"
The generals attention was called
to the fact that the opposing armies
were drawn up in semi-circles oppo-
site each other and within a distance
of about half a mile. The startling
proximity of the contending forces
and the clear, open field between them,
save for the few trees and the old
brick walls at Hougoumont, made it
apparent at once, when the courage
and determination of both armies were
recalled, why $4,000 lives were sacri-
feed in the bloody conflict of that aw-
full day
Would such carnage be possible in
a well-fought battle between equal
forces of well-drilled men to-day?" was
asked the general.
Such results" he replied, would
be almost impossible, for the reason
that with our modern artillery the
armies would have been drawn up at
far greater distances from each other
and the wholesale slaughter that fol-
lows such hand-to-hand fighting as
Napoleon's and Wellington's men did
would not be possible"

One Of the Worlds Great Days.

What was the use of discussing
what might have been at Waterloo?
The 18th day of June, 1915, seems
to be one of the great days that have
been carved out of history and set
apart in the corridors of eternity.
One of the most beautiful and pa
thetic objects that was ever cut in
marble or cast in bronze is the monu-
ment erected to the "Old Guard"
amid the clover beds that line the
road through Waterloo to-day. 1t
marks the spot where Ney charged
and recharged in vain against the bat
tie lines of the enemy when his ia
nous phalanx of brave Frenchmen
we're moved down like weeds by the
very hell of fire that came from the
foe.
One by one they fell With every
charge the ranks of the dead increased
and the enthusiastic cry of 'Vive
l'Emperorl" gradually lost its echo in
the. rattle of musketry and roar of
cannon until night came on and the
Old Guard lay sleeping as they fought
side by side on the blood-soaked
field of Waterloo.
And it is here to-day that the "Old
Guard" monument stands by the road
side. 1t is a marble floor with a mar
BILE wall rising in the rear as back
ground to give relief to the outline of
a wounded eagle that. with bleeding
breast and shattered wing, has fallen
to rise no more.

Immediately mounted their horses and

only the night before they had donned
that raiment to participate in those
scenes of peace and pleasure around
which Byron wrote the words, "On
with the dance; let joy be unconfned."
Mound That Marks Scene.
Such was one of the incidents of in,
terest that preceded Waterloo. One
of those that followed it was the erec'
ton of this great mound, composed of
possibly 100000 cubic yards of earth
skinned from the face of the battle,
field and planted in one cone-like pile
by Belgian women, who carried it in
their aprons and in baskets on their
heads and received as compensation
for their labors through its years OF
construction a sum of less than 20
cents per day The lion that sur
mounts it is cast from the guns cap
tured from the French army.
1t all seems imposing and majestic,
but cold and uninspiring compared
with that strikingly beautiful picture
presented when we turn to the heart
of Paris and wend our way to that
great tomb of the Invalides.
AS we lean over the balustrade and
look down upon that modern sarcoph-
agus of Egyptian marble containing
all that remains on earth of the brok-
en- spirit of ST. Helena we turn our
eyes toward the lighted altar and
then our gaze follows our thoughts
toward the gilded dome and above and
then back again to that colossal casket
containing its precious grain of ashes.
How solemn and stupendQus seems
the silence that surrounds this sacred
sleeping placel How pathetically ones

Il wish that my ashes might lie on
the banks of the Seine, among the
French people whom so well loved. .
