especially the people OF the
city OF Leipsic, are making
elaborate preparations for the cele-
bration, next year, Of the centenary
OF the Battle of Leipsic, the mighty
struggle which settled the fate OF

called the Battle Of the Nations be-

emperor Of Germany, the rulers OF

saved from the conquering Oorsicah
by the battle, and great throngs OF
people from all quarters Of the earth.
Many persons believe that Bona

trous invasion Of Russia, but the truth
ls that not that expedition, but the
ive-day battle In the outskirts of
Leipsic broke the backbone Of his
power. Again, superficial students

defeat OF the French army at Leipsic

emperor's mentality and tactical
skill. They are wrong. in the opinion
Of modern leaders in the art Of war
