 Let us open the doors, sire!" he cried. "And if the doors are not su4- ffcient, open the windowsi that the whole of Europe may hear you.
 Napoleon, in the Leipsic campaign. had defeated the Russians and Prus-I sians at Lutzen and again at BautZen. Yet none knew better than he that he was facing the crisis of his career England, Russia, Prussia and Sweden were banded against him, declaring war to the death. Austria was luke warm. The Emperor, for all his war like talk, was beginning to long for peace. He hoped much from that interview with Metternich century ago to-day. He was disappointed.
 Austria would keep peace with France, Metternich said, only if Ma poIeon would restore I11yria and the Polish provinces, would send the Pope back to Rome. abandon the protecto- rate of the Confederation of the Rhine, restore Naples and Spain and evacuate Germany and Holland.
 Napoleon was furious, amazed in- dignant. He had awaited the inter view with Metternich with ill-conceal- ed eagerness. He saw all his hopes crumb1e as the calm and dignihed Austrian announced his terms. He flew into a rage. Eyes blazing he shook his fist in Metternichs face. de- nlandingf How much has England given you to play this role against me2's
 Another incident added to Napo- Icons frenzy. He dropped his hat. He expected Metterntch to pick it up. The Austrian made no move. Pale with anger, Napoleon stared at the hat, then at Metternich. The Austrian permitted the flicker of smile to curl the corners of his lips. The En- peror kicked the hat savagelys like a spoiled child.
 The interview over. Metternich, in leaving. said to Marshal Bethier, eYour master, Your Master, declare to you soIemnly is out of his nind.'
 The only result of that interview of century ago was am agreement to postpone the armistice until the tenth Of August, and, in the meantime to hold a, peace congress at Prague. The meeting was only mockery. Outraged Europe was determined to throw off the Napoleonic shackles, to confne- the Corsican to France. The ambitious upstart who had made him. self master of Europe could be con- tent with nothing less.
 On the expiration of the arrnistice arranged by Napoleon and AEetternich, Austria5 jofneds the allies. At Dres- den, in August, Napo1eon's star was in the ascendant for the last time. Tn October, at Leipsic, the star van l ished. and Napoleon Iamented:
