is HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF?
Events of Today as Compared with
Those OF the Franco-Prussian War
of Forty-Four Years Ago

By Herbert Temple, European Manag-
er Of the International News. Service
On the eve Of the great battle Of
Sedan, sometimes called the Water
loo Of the Second Empire" which
sealed the future of France, though
peace wasn't concluded for several
months thereafter, the French were
sadly demoralized. Paris was cut off
from communication with the armies
and new German corps under COM
mand of the Crown Prince of Saxony
was advancing on the capital. The
city was hastily fortified to with
stand a siege. Food and fuel were
scarce within the gates and the ex-
portation of foodstuffs from France
was forbidden by edict.
Communication between Bazaine's
and McMahon's armies was extreme
ly difficult. Bazaine was bottled up
in Metz, and another part of the
French army was hemme1 in at
Strassburg. McMahons army in the
field was badly shattered.
In the last days of August McMa-
hon, accompanied by Napoleon and
about $50, 900 men set off to the re-
lief of Metz. The third and fourth
German armies, under the Crown
Prince of Saxony, pursued them.
After battles at Beaumont and Douzy
in which the French we're debated ON
Aug. 80 and 81, McMahon was fore
ed to retreat and he made his last
stand at Sedan.
At a. M, on September 1, the
fighting began between Sedan and
Douzy and ragged all day and far into
the night before the issue was decid-
ed. The French were crushingly de-
| feated. Mcmahon was wounded On
the second day, Sept, 2, 1870, after
desultory skirmishing Emperor Ma.
poleon III. surrendered to King
! William of Prussia, and the entire
French army capitulated.

men were killed and wounded Albout

rected the movements of his men.
No estimate was made of the Ger
man casualties, but it is known that
they lost heavily, perhaps as many
killed and wounded as were lost by
the French. 1t was $50 in the af-
ternoon when Mcmahon was wound
ed. Gen. DeWimpffen was hastily
placed in command OF the French
army.
There was brief halt in the fight
ing, while the opposing commanders
and rulers discussed terms. De
Wimffen fatty refused to accept the
terms offered by Bismarck and the
battle was resumed.
On the second day Emperor Napol-
con held a conference with King
William and the Crown Prince, at
the end of which the French capitu-
lated The terms of surrender was
signed by Field Marshal Won Moltke
and General Wimpffen.
Duringthe battle of Sedan. Ba-
zatne's men made desperate sortie
from Metz, but were repulsed and
driven back within the fortlfica-
tions. Thus most of her soldiers
killed, wounded and prisoners and
the rest shut up in Metz and Strass-
burg, France was almost defenseless.
With Napoleon prisoner in the

king of Westphalia Mcmahon
wounded and Bazaine unable to es-
cape from Metz, France was practi-
cally without a military commander
of dependence. Fighting went on be-
tween French reserves and Germans,
iibut in almost every case the Ger
mans were the victors. AT Busancy
the French were repulsed with heavy
loss and whole regiment of chaus-
leurs was annihilated.
With but little resistance the Prus-
slams, commanded by the king, occu-
pied Rheims. The Prussians then
renewed their attack on Strassburg.
Sixty thousand troops invested the

In the meantime, a fresh French

from Paris to relieve Mcmahon. ar

ed by the Germans. Vinoy beat a
hasty retreat back to Paris.
Meanwhile the news of the capitu-
lation of Sedan, the surrender of the
emperor and the capture of nealy
100000 French troops reached Paris
and caused a great upheaval. Prac-
tically headless, the Second Empire
quickly crumbled. Out of this chaos
was born the Comune of 1871 and
the Third Republic
But still France pluckily held out
and refused to make peace. Jules
Favre, the foreign minister, on Sept
6, sent out circular letter to al

lie with the defence, probably in the
form OF an appeal from Judge Hand
decision on the writ of habeas corpus,
which would carry the case directly to
the Supreme Court"
This line of action. as outlined by
Mr.. Carstarphen, il was learned yes
terday. will probably be followed by
Mr.. Wise. Upon the issue OF the COM
mitment he will apply for bail for his
clients, asking that they be kept IN

stead Of being placed in the Tombs.
The other formal step will be to apply
for "A writ Of error against the courts
refusal to issue writ OF habeas cor
pus, thus throwing the case directly
to the Supreme Court.
The main issue involved in these
proceedings, as ruled by Judge Hand
when the argument on the present
ment charging contempt came before
him, is whether the President Of the
United States can issue a pardon to a
person before he has been found guilty
of crime and whether the existence
Of such a pardon takes from him the
right TO plead his constitutional privi-
lege.
In the argument it was held by the
prosecution that, although the defend
ants refused to accept the pardons, the
pardoas acted as a bar TO all prosecu-
ton for any crimes in which their
testimony might involve them, and
therefore they could not plead their
constitutional privilege, since all actual
jeopardy to them was wiped out.
Counsel for the defence argued that
the President had no right TO force a
pardon on a person before he was con-
victed. declaring that such action
usurped his right to trial by jury OF
his peers. II was also argued that ac-
ceptance Of pardon was prerequi-

HER CANTINIERES
Feminine Attachments to Regi.

than they're Worth.

Paris, March 13.-The picturesque can
tinieres, or women who take charge of
the French regimental canteens. and who
have played many heroic rarts in French
military history, are no longer to share
the dangers of active service with the
troops, according 70 the Minister for War.
The women, one of whom is commissioned
10 each battalion of infantry regiment Of
cavalry or battery OF artillery, are in
future TO be retained simply In times Of
peace.
Formerly the women, wearing the uni
form Of their branch Of the service,
marched into battle with the troops,
serving often rs nurses or carrying sooth-
ing drinks to the wounded. They were
the wives Of on-commssioned officers or
musicians, and if their husbands died or
we're killed they usually married com
rades. otherwise they could not remain
in the service.
The Minister for War has now decided
that the women are a tax on the food

the rapid movement Of troops marching
to the front after mobilization. lie says,
moreover. that they are source OF dis
