Aims which. like huge breakwaters, rise
almost sheer from the ivory shore or the
Mediterranean. 1t was while peerlng
through those waterways to Italy that
plan of campaign far. greater than that
of Toulon started in his mind.
But lust then there came another rev.
olution in Paris. 1t was Robespierre
turn at the guillotine. and as his heaa
fell in the sack, a reactionary faction
leaped to power. The younger Robec-
pierre followed his brother. and the new
party in the government at once began
to mark out~for the same fate all tho
chief associates of the fallen terrorist.
The simplest way to divert suspicion
from yourself is to direct it to someone
else. AS the cloud gathered about the
head of the shifty Salicetti. he pointed
his finger at his fellow Corsican, Ma
poleon who quickly found himself In a
cell and under orders to report in Paris,
whose other name was the guillotine in
those days, when it was the usual prac-
tice to chop off head first and then
apologize to the remains for any mis-
take.
Fortunately for the prisoner, the gull
lotine was weary at last and inclined to
slacSen it's speed. Salicetti soon felt safe
enough to be fair, and after eight days
in confinement the scapegoat was lih-
Grated.

The "Blue Terror"

very near having 1t close upon me. While
neither the Red Terror nor the White
reigns any more in France, there is over
all Europe in these day Blue Terror.

horrifying ghosts of foes and spies the
peoples morbidly watch for the coming
of great war. In my American inno-
cence of this extremely delicate situation.
l stumbled upon my first but not last ex-
perience of it under the walls of Fort
Care, Napoleon's prison, which rises by
the sea just outside the town of Antilles,
not far from Nice.
The fort looked so senile and harmr
less that ! thought of it only as a ruin,
and therefore fair subject for my pock-
ct camera. l did not learn my mistake
until l was a quarter of a mile away,
when a uniformed official, as aged look
ing as Fort Carre itself, stopped my car
riage, entered it, and seating himself op-
posite me, commanded the driver in thick,
quavering tones. to drivesme' to the Marie.

Robespierre and Napoleon

Robespierre was at the height of his
ruthless power that red summer, defying
the armies of Europe at the frontiers
and beating down the Girondsts in a
civil war at home. While Napoleons
drifted about, doing odd jobs for the
army, he wrote a clever dialogue on the
critical situation of tho country, in which
he argued that all factions ought to fore
go their quarrels and stand together un-
til the republic was saved from destruc-
tion at the hands of the Bourbons and
the alien monarchs who We're banded
against it.
He had only finished this "Souper de
Beaucaire' at Avignon, in the shadow
of the great rock on which the old Pal
ace of the Popes is perched. when the
commissioners of the national convention
visited the town, and one of them, Sail
cetti who was a Corscan. introduced
him to his colleagues, among whom was
the younger brother of Robespierre The
author read his dialogue to the commits
sioners, who liked it SO we'll they ordered
1t published in the interest of the govern
ment and distributed by the armies as
,they fought their way against the Giron-
dists In Provence. The pen of Napoleon
had won a chance for his sword and for
the first time he was in touch with
power.

The Battle in the Streets

But on the same day that he OBJ
tanned this favor from the department
his name was erased from the list OF
generals by another department be-
cause he had disregarded no less than
three orders to join the army of the
west. While he was In this plight,
busily striving to have his name re-
stored and to get together a staff for
his Constantinople trip, the real oppor-
tunity of his life came to him here in
the very streets of Paris.
All American visitors In the French
capital have seen, but probably few
have observed the battlefield where Ma
poleon won victory asimportant and
decisive as any that ever fell to his
sword. For there he took Paris. This
field lies in the very heart of the city,
in the familiar Paris of the tourist be-
tween the boulevards and the river,
with the Tuileries as the focal point
The broad steps of the Church of ST.
Roch in the Rue st. Honore are a ia :
nous landmark on this battlefield, and
multitude thronging past the old
Church daily cross The Path of Ma
poleon."

Mr.. Morgan at the Bar

As we logged up to the Marie. i'm the
center of the old town, my thoughts
fondly dwelt on the paternity of Frank
lin and Lafayette, Washington and Ro-
chambeau, and on the present day. bonds
of friendship between the two great re-
publics.
Once in the secretary's room L had only
to pronounce the name of America 10 fill
the young man at the. desk With it's
magic. I was welcomed Immediately to
the inner office by the big, smiling mayor,
who, when he had listened with SYM
pathetic ear to my story, assured me
that he was fairly desolated to think that
an American guest should have found a
French officer so lacking in hospitality
and he offered me the freedom of Fort
Carre and the entire town.
He was so interested and delighted as
! confided to him the plan Of my Jour-
ifey of 10000 Miles in the Path of Ma
poleon" he laid his hand on my knee and
told me he longed to go with me. But
when I was taking my leave his face
grew sober, the shadow of the Blue Ter
ror rose before him and he shook his
finger at me as he said, Now. If you

where they had been assigned by the
government n living quarters on the
fourth floor of the palace of nobleman
who had been guilIotined he went to
Toulon and asked his fellow Corsican,
Salicetti. to let him take part in the siege
there. Thus at the end of summer, he
was back at his starting point, but this
time he was not in the bread line He
had come now to inscribe the name of
Toulon first on the list of his victories.
He found the army a scratch affair.
under the command of General CarteauN,
q painter, who had lately exchanged the
palette for the sword and who qualified
for the soldiers profession by loading
himself down with gold lace and growing
a fierce black mustache. The obscure lit
tie artilleryman at once felt his supe-
riority to the amateur talent engaged in
the siege. and he quickly saw that the
rebellious town, floating the white BAN
ner of the Bourbons, was enabled to
maintain its resistance to the republic
only by the assistance of the warships
of England and other nations which lay
in it's two harbors.
The strategic eye of Napoleon lighted
on this single fact and ignored all else.
The painter general, in hurting his SOL
diers against the forts in the rear OF
the town had only been pulling the coat
tails of Toulon. Napoleon. like a good
anatomist. saw that the one and only
thing to do was to take Toulon by its
harbor throat and choke it into sub
mission. While the ships remained, it
was as absurd to capture the place as
it would be to capture red-hot stove.
1t could not be held; it would have to
be dropped.

TOulOn Today

The historic hill rising from fEgul-
lette bears to this day the name of Fort
Napoleon, and / saw traces stfll among
its bushes of the earthworks where
stood the men of the Battery Without
NIT the flag of France rode the gale.
Down at the foot of the hill I saw the
old. gray fort which Cardinal Richelieu
constructed, and beyond are the green
parks and red rocks of the villas of ship
builders and merchants in the pretty
seaside suburb of Tamaris, in one of
which George Sands" wrote her ro-
nance of that name. Back of me rose a
mountain side which my big Provencal
companion called See Fo,' much to my
puzzlement until had translated it into
'Six Fours;' but 1 am still wondering
just how the six forts that formerly
brstled on it's summit should have given
it its present name.
Standing on Napoleon's hill it Is plain
ly to be seen that 'Toulon is here" and
that the French have not forgotten the
lesson taught by Napoleon. For today
the entire shore is the hiding place of
modern batteries for the protection of
the great naval port of France.
Toulon by name looked to be some
two miles away, and as 1 gazed across
the tossing waters of the harbor there
rose above the whitecaps something like
the specter of a ship wrecked and left
behind in the hour of wild flight from
the guns of Napoleon. That heap of
rusting iron was not, however, a relic
OF the war of 179S. but of this never
ending war in peace which now engages
the nations. 1t is the wreckage of a big
warship of France, which blew up one
day in 1911, with loss of 400 lives, and
became the victim of it's own destruc-
tiveness
