Born in Florence, in November. 1852.
Archduke Johann was the third son of
Grand Duke Leopold Of Tuscany. He
was educated for a military career and
became a recognized authority in the ar

general.
In 1875 he published a pamphlet in

was not dead when a noble of France
could act as did Lafayette. So thought
the youth of France. His letters to
great men of France. too, had much
influence. France began to see an op-
portunity In America of striking a telling
blow at England. After the surrender
OF Burgoyne France decided the time
was ripe.
Lee robbed Lafayette Of one glorious
opportunity at the battle of Monmouth
Washington had given command of the
first division to Lafayette when Lee had
vigorously opposed Washington's plan to
engage Clinton. Later Lee, who was
senior major general. repented his action
and insisted on his right to the command,
and Lafayette expressed his willingness
to give way to Lee, SO as not to en-
barrass the commander-in-chief. In the
battle Lee played the craven, and almost
brought destruction upon the American
forces Lafayette was only q youth, but
had he, ana not Lee. opened the contest
that day there is little doubt the engage
ment would have ended in a defeat for
the British instead of a drawn battle.
Never again until near the end Of the
war did Lafayette have chance to dis
play such military talent as he possessed,
but he did magnificent work for the
American cause in Strengthening out the
multitude of difficulties that developed
between the American commanders and
the French officers. He was the only one
who had the complete confidence Of both
French and Americans.
In ITO he returned to France and was
received with the utmost enthusiasm. The
king. after nominally ordering him ar
rested for "deSertion," sentenced him to
one weeks imprisonment at his chateau,

was largely through Lafayette's influence
that the big expedition under Rocham-
beau was fitted out. Then Lafayette re-
turned to America. Congress passed a
special resolution of welcome, and a little
later Lafayette was sent to Virginia to
command the forces in that state. His
operations in Virginia with the poorly
equipped and small, body Of. troops he
had control of have received much at
tention. Against Phillips, against Arnold
and against CORVALLIS he showed fine
soldierly qualities. Never did he have
ment, but his defensive tactics were ex-
cellent. 1mpetuous he was, but he never
was led into folly. and slowly but surely
he worked until CORVALLIS found 1t pru-
dent to intrench himself at Yorktown It
was then that Lafayette proposed to

fleet from Newport to hem in CORVALLIS

king and the king had less for him. One

rived at Metz and q dinner was given in
his honor by the French officers. The
duke had been sent out of England in dis

One of the party at that dinner was
the Marquis de Lafayette. He was a
member Of one Of the proudest families of
France. He had an income of $4,000 a
year. His family had given six marshals
to France. and six weeks before he was
born his father, colonel Of a regiment of
grenadiers. had been killed at the battle
of Hastenberg. charging an English bat
terry commanded by Col. Phillips, the
same Phillips who, as a general, was to
die in Virginia in 1881 while opposing La

layed about theterms Of peace he busted
himself organizing another expedition,
this one designed to attack New York.
About the time it was ready to sail the
treaty Of peace was signed and he dis
patched the vessel that brought the first
news to America.
In 1884 he came to the United States to
enjoy the spectacle of a nation free. Then
for the next three years he lived a life of
peace and ease in his beloved France
the only three years Of ease he was to
know for many, many years. France was
beginning that period Of unrest that was
to develop into one of the greatest

shackles. 1t was the opening OF the revo-
luton. From the start Lafayette was one
of the principal actorsl No man promi-

poise, exhibited SO courageous a spirit
and SO kind a heart as Lafayette He
was the one man In whom king and
courtier. merchant and peasant had per-
feet faith. Corruption was rampant, but
him from what he believed to be his duty.
He took part in all the deliberations when
the throne was trembling to its fall.
In one thing he erred. and erred griev-
ously. He had such faith in the Ameri-
can system of independence that he
thought it would cure the ills Of France.
He did not know his own people. When
the national guard was organized he was
made commander-in-chief. For three
years he held control practically of
France. He advocated the principles of
a true republic-religious federation. free
dom of the press, abolition Of titles of
nobility, trial by jury, destruction Of
special privilege. Many times his life was
endangered. Though weighed down by a
thousand cares, he followed the straight

When the allies declared war AGAINST
France and began to invade the country
he resigned command OF the national
guard and took charge of one Of three
armies sent to- the frontier to meet the
enemy. 1t was while he was with the
army that the passions Of the people
passed all bounds. Constitutional govern
ment gave way to- the commune, and with
the commune came the reign Of terror.
Commissioners were sent by the COM
mune to endeavor to obtain his support,
for his influence with the army was great
He put the commissioners under arrest
and refused to recognize the commune.
Then he was branded as a traitor. Next
his troops got the fever. and there was
open revolt. With the government upset,
the king beheaded and the army in the
passion OF communism, he resigned his
command and sought safety in Belgium
a neutral land. There. in violation of all
right, he was arrested by the Austrians.
TO the allies he was the spirit. the incar-
nation of revolution, q man too danger

he was kept in close confinement, first In
Magdeburg and later in Ol1nutz. All his
