100 Years Ago Today


n NE HUNDRED years ago today
the emperor of Russia and king
of Prussia crossed the Rhine to
invade France. The emperor of Austria,
who had arrived at Cassel the evening
before, went out to meet them. A con
ference was held and plan of campaign
drawn up for "the great work" as was
termed the final effort of the emperor
Napoleon and France against the crush
ing mass of their enemies. The allied
sOvereigns resolved to force back the
emperor towards Paris, by outflanking
him, first on one wing. then on the
other, so that at least they might throw
themselves all together upon his ex-
hausted troops. and destroy him. The
forces of the allies were now divided INTO
two great armies, one of $4,000 men
under Butcher. and the other, numbering
10000 men, commanded by prince Won
Schwartzenberg.
