An Historic Interview

One room only in all the palace hos pital remains 1t was, if having been preserved in memory of the day. when within it's precincts a mighty empire tossed in it's crisis, while Napoleon wres- tied with Metternich.
 For nine hours they grappled and struggled in that room. where the Elm peror exclaimed, "Ah Metternchl How much has England given you to play this part against me?' The same dragons still contort themselves on the inlaid fioor the same desk continues to stand in the corner and the windows look out upon the fountains in the same park where the King of Saxony and the ipr perial dignitaries anxiously waited f y the momentous decision, but where ,n this time the convalescent patients tillxe the healing air.

A Crowd of Disasters

Although as Wellington conceded, Ma poleon presence on a field still was equal to 40,000 soldiers, he had lost the ubiquity of his youth, when he seemed to have the power to be everywhere at once. With his victory at Dresden, he had won three great battles on German soil ill four months, but he was losing every battle that he left his generals to fight for him.
 Bernadotte's army had whipped Mar shal Oudinot and was to follow up that success by pounding to pieces the corps of Marshal Ney. Butcher had stolen out of the Silesian fastnesses as soon as Ma poleon left his front and given Marshal Macdonald a hard thrashing while the beaten sovereigns in their flight. sur rounded and overwhelmed Vandamme, who had been charged to stop them in the defiles of the Bohemian frontier took his sword and sent him to Russia.
 The victory of Dresden was set at naught in the first month of the new campaign, Napoleons iieutenants hay ing lost 10000 men and 300 guns, while 5O000 sick and wounded crowded his hos pitals Those heavy losses could be re- paired only by borrowing from the fu- ture. and he called to his colors 160,0 boys, who were not due to give military service until 1Sl5
 While he continued week after week to cling to the worthless ground he had won at Dresden, the three allied armies moved to unite behind him in the neigh borhood of Leipsic. whither at last he betook himself in the confidence that he could whip them one by one as they came up But he was no longer choosing

The Price nf Peace

When Napoleon returned to Dresden. after leaving Marie Louise in tears, the arnisuce was nearing its end Metter- mich was offering him peace if he would only content himself with France Bel gium, Holland and Italy, and the Elm peror's counselors were imploring him to accept those apparently liberal terms. which would leave him a far wider do- minon than any other French monarch ever had possessed. He had already lost Spain, and ever while he was at Ores den he received the news of the flight of Joseph Bonapar from that country. Jerome Bonaparte's kingdom of Vest phalia was fast being engulfed in the tide of German patriotism and Louis lad thrown away his crown of Holland The Emperors ambition to have a chain of family kingdoms, like q merchant s \chain of stores, had been dashed to pieces And it would have cost him nothing to Ncept Meternichs terms.

On the Field of Leinsic

It Is an interesting coincidence that the two great battles of the war of 1913 were fought under the walls of the two great cities of Saxony. Not that either much of a city in the battle year, for Leipsic with it's nearly 60000O popu- lation now, was then only such a town as Dresden was It's 30,0O0 people were hud- dled within an old encircling wall. hardly more than two miles round. when for three days in mid-October, 2O00 cannon roared and half million men fought the battle of the nations at its gates.
 On a hill at the very edge of the twen- teith century Leipsc, only a short car ride from the city center, rises a huge mountain of concrete, German pyramid. which the Kaiser Wilhelm II, great grandson of King Frederick William, ded- icated on the centenary of the momentous struggle in 1913 in the presence of the representatives of the German states and of Austria. Russia and Sweden.
 Although the pious motto God With Us" in letters six feet high, Is carved above the door, this memorial of Ma poleons overthrow in Germany, with it's sculptured mob of pagan deities, offers a suggestive contract to the memorial of his repulse from Russia, the Church of Our Savior in Moscow. And. here, too, on the battlefield of the nations, the Russians have reared a church in mem- OTy OI lnell uedu anu Ol tHSlT NlCtOly. But around the lofty cupola of the Ger man monument at Leipsic, bronzed giants mount guard with their war clubs, and a gigantic effigy of the German Michael grmly stands sentinel at the portal in the midst of terrifying group of furies who hold aloft flaming torches of de- struction, while within, the Fates glover from the walls of the crypt. This surely is no cote for the dove of peace, but a occixra Io r,f hn Ia 1,a n a Of the sword and the mailed fist.
 That giant cairn of German patriot ism is heaped upon the very mound where Napoleon was overwhelmed but a little commemorative stone almost hidden among the shrubs and flowers, marks more precisely the position of the man of destiny when his star shot across the Armament in that October evening and vanished behind the hil's of Thuringia. On top of this lesser monument lies three-cornered hat cu' in marble while a marble sword resls on a marble pillow. Only these Tn ss from Exodus are chiseled on the race oi the stone
 "The Lord is a man of war
 The Lord is His name"
 Simply that and nothing more bu' the story is told plainly enough ps the cooked hat and the sword, ano the exultant words spoken by Moses when the Lord cast into the Red sea the chariots and host and chosen cap tains of Pharaoh and the depths nae covered them. The name or the cor sician Pharaoh does not appear 1n 'h' inscription It would be superfluous.

A Colored Philosopher

From the National Monthly.
 One hot July afternoon Rastus John son. a man of color, and his family of nine. who depended almost entirely on the town for their support started away rrr home all logged out in their best, each carrying a supply of eatables. One of their benefactors happened to meet them on the road.
 Well, Uncle Rastus where are you going with ali your family so dressed up?" he asked

quarters however, there was no chef. The soveregns were too jealous and sus- picious to choose one of themselves to be commander-in-chief, and there was general of the first rank among the Rus sions, Prussians and Austrians. Besides the oil and water of Sav and Teuton fused to mix.
 The greatest general of modern times, therefore, must be beaten by an army without q general and the allied forces were divided into three armies under inde- pendent commanders. But there was a common plan of campaign, chiefly the work of Moreau, and it's salient princinple was to keep out of Napoleons way and whip his marshals. The Emperor, never suspecting the scheme to refuse him battle, made d lunge at Butcher on his front as soon as the war was on again. But the old Prussian only threw back into the Silesian gorges, while the allied sovereigns themselves began to move up Into Saxony- This menace behind him obliged Napoleon to hasten back to Dres- den, whither he fled with truly Napoleonic swittness, marching the guard through 20 miles of mud in four days.

A Night of Horror

The only escape for the beaten army was through the unlighted streets of the town, over two rivers and thence by a single causeway across wide marshy flats. That one avenue 10 safety was quickly crowded with soldiers wagons and guns. The cavalry rode down the infantry, while the wounded. lying about the streets and squares, were heedlessly trampled upon in the confusion and the darkness At daybreak tho allies opened their eyes on the rear Of the retreating army, and they rose to pursue the fleeing troops through the gates, while their artillery rained their shells upon the roofs of Leipsic.
 Napoleon passed that night af horror at the Hotel de Prussc, whose doors are still open. Although the Czar slept in the hotel the next night, it is the room of the conquered, not the con queror which has been set apart through the generations, and the Napoleon zim- mer'' remains to this day the special boast and exhibit of the ;andlord.
 It was about 9 in the morning when the Emperor came out of the Piussc and joined in the retreat It was ar even year that very morning since he as then he had to fight his way through another mob of fleeing soldiers, and he whistled his war song as he went
 After escaping from the town, he came to a village nearby and lay down to sleep. He had passed three almost sleep less nights and now that the strain was over, nature would be put off no longer. But while he slept, ths loud report of an explosion startled him. Tt was the signal that his catastrophe had receiN ed it's coronation.

 Napoleon, who had by ar the larger amy, was in sore need of horses for his cavalry. while his allied foes needed time to bring up their endorsements. Above all, both sides wished 10 enter into negotiations with Austria, which had adopted policy of armed neutrality. Al exander and Frederick William hoping to induce the Austrian Emperor to join their alliance, and Napoleon hoping to restrain his father-n-l9w from going over to the camp of the enemy.
 But the son-in-aw no longer cherished the delusion that family ties were as strong with the Austrian imperial house as among the plebian Corsicans.
 The matrimonial alliance of the Bona partes and the Hapsburgs was cast in the scale and weighed when Metternich came to Dresden to hold an interview that has become historic. Napoleon had taken up his residence in the Marcolini palace, then a beautiful villa in the sub urbs of Dresden. but now converted and enlaI ged into a great hospital In the long, stony corridors and spacious salons, where the imperial Corsican diffused his favorite perfume of eau de cologne, the rr is heavy today with the pungent odor of disinfectants, while the walls, which Tow echo the plaintve 1nurmures of the suffering, once resounded with the voices of marshals and courters and of the celebrated actors of tn.

Prague struck the midnight hour on August 10, and bonfires famed up from the hiHtons clear to the Silesian frontier, as a signal that the armis- tice was over.
 The truce of 10 weeks had been far more profitable to the allies than to Napoleon. Not only had Austria been drawn to their side but Bernadotte, Grown Prince of Sweden, with a small contingent of Swedes, generously sub sidized by England, also had come to join in the attack upon the tri-col or flag, beneath whose favoring folds he had risen from the peasantry to roy atty. Meanwhile, Napoleon had gained only one ally, the wayward King Mu- rat of Naples, who now rejoined him in a spirit of contrition and assured him that his heart was sounder than his head.
 Moreover, the Russians and Prus- sians themselves had brought up two new men for every recruit that Napo- leon had been able to call to his stand ard Against his 350.000 troops and 1900 guns at the reopening of the war the allies had no less than a full half million actually in the field with HOO cannon and they had also enormous reserves. The total of all Napoleon's forces everywhere was less than 6OO,- 900, nearly 1S0, 900 of whom were vast ing themselves in Spain and Italy and in German fortesses, while his foes had more than 100000 soldiers en- rolled beneath their banners.

the skirts and sleeves of his gray coat as he entered the palace, where the King of Saxony embraced him and con graduated him on one of the most nota- ble successes of his career. He had brought up 10000 almost exhausted troops, crossed a river in the face of 1so,oOO enc mics and put them to flight.
 But while he slept the allies made good their escape. The rumble of their wag- ons on retreat was heard through the night. and when, at dawn. he rode to the hill where the sovereiens had stood the day before. their hosts had vanished toward the Bohemian mountains
 Death of Moreau
 Only a dog had been left behind. and his collar, inscribed "I am General Mo- reau's dog" is preserved among the keep sakes at Dresden. Napoleon himself had all but pointed the gun that brought down the dogs master, when in the midst of the battle he had seen a party of horsemen on the hill and, remarking There must be some little generals there.' had ordered his battery to fire upon them. Had he been facing his old enemy on the dueling ground, he could not have drawn a deadlier aim than the battery drew on Moreau, who was with the Czar in the center of the group The returned exile was even then giving Alex ander some military advice, when the shot struck him and shattered both legs After he had been carried to peasant s cottage on a litter formed of CossacS' s bikes. and the surgeons came, Moreau simply called for cigar and he calmly smoked while his legs were amputated. In the same tranquil spirit he bore the agony of the retreat in a jolting vehicle and persisted until the end in debating the future course of the campaign. Only the day before he died he wrote to his wife: At the battle of Dresden. three days ago, I had both legs carried off by cannon ball. That scoundred Bona parte is always fortunate
 Not often does a soldier who dies in arms against his flag and his country re- ceive a monument But not only was Moreau's body sent to St. Petersburg by the Cars orders and buried with hon ors in the Roman Catholic church at the Russian capital, but his memory was hon ored also on the spot where he fell.
 There is cenotaph on the hill where he stood beside Alexander, when one of Napoleon's gunners brought him down. over it the green ivy climbs to decorate the sculptured helmet and sabre on the top, while three oaks mount guard about the memorial stone and all around an cat field smiles above the battle-fur- rowed ground. Across Moreau Strasse and down in the valley, the cabbages in the little gardens of the city poor grow on the graves of the fallen foemen and seemingly hardly more than a mile away, the castle tower and the church belfry of the Kings palace rise in the midst of the city by the Elbe, whose mur1nur as- cends today even as the cheers for Ma poleon rolled up the height on an Au- gust morning and spread despair among the allies.
