Frances Indemnity To Germany
 Still Rankles.

For forty-five years the guid- ing principle of French states manship has been embodied in the maxim that Germany's ex- tremity would be Frances op- portunity. Has that hour ar rived? Events seem to show that France believes it has.
 The German empire and the French republic were born to- gether in the smoke and flame of the terrible battle of Sedan. There the French empire went down with the fortune of the last Napoleon, and there the mighty Bismarck laid the steps of the kaiser's throne.
 The Franco-Prussian war of 1870 was one of the most swift and terrible in history. Louis Napoleon, seeking to steady his unstable throne by keeping alive the traditions of the great mili- tary empire of the first Napo- leon, had hurled his challenge at Prussia. The immediate pre- text was the candidacy of Hoh- enzollern prince for the vacant Spanish throne. Prussia, seek ing the unification of Germany, welcomed the contest and struck with suddenness that blinded

and dazed the imperial govern ment at Paris.
 By rapid and simultaneous movements the Prussians crum- ! pied the two wings of the French army mobilized on the Alsatian frontier, defeating them in the sanguinary battles of Weissen- burg, Worth and Spichern. l Marshal McMahon and Marshal Bazaine, commanding the two French armies, attempted to form a junction and retreat to the Moselle, but Prince Freder- lick Charles, commanding the Prussian advance, defeated the execution of the plan and drove Bazaine back upon Grazelotte, where, on August IS, 1870, took place the decisive battle of that name the second only of impor- tance in the war. The Prussians had 100000 men and the French 130,000. In nine hours of car mage, in which the Germans lost 10000 men, and the French 13,- 900, Bazaine was utterly routed and forced back upon Metz, where he was quickly surround ed and bottled up by the victo- Irious Prussians.
 With Bazaine shut up within' his Notifications and McMahon held in check, four German ar mics converged swiftly upon Paris. Napoleon H., who had remained in his capital conf- dently expecting the news that his marshals had invested Der lin, hurriedly apponted as re- gent the Empress Eugenie (the same who now, an aged woman,

is living out her sorrowful years
 in English exile), raised 8 fresh
 army and set out to relieve Ba-
 zaine. Joining McMahon, the
 emperor met the advancing
 Prussian hosts at Sedan, where
 on September 2, only forty-four
 days after the declaration off
 war, was fought the Waterloo
 of the second French empire. The emperor was overwhelm-
 ingly defeated, and personally
 surrendered with his entire ar
 my of 83,000 men.
 Two days after the disaster at Sedan the republic was pro-
 claimed, and on September 19 the Prussians had invested Pa
 ris and the siege began. The history of that siege is a sepa- rate phase of the war. To it belongs the terrible scenes of the commune the escape of Gam zatta from the capital in a bal loon and his attempt to raise a relieving force and the desperate Ibombardments and sorties of the investing and beleagured forces that make one of the darkest pictures in modern war. Before Paris capitulated in Jan uary, 1871, Bazaine had surren- dered Metz with 175,000 men; Strassburg fell and the scatter ed French armies were every where overwhelmed or drivn to flight.
 Already ten days before Paris rendered, the German empire had been proclaimed at Versail- les and William I was crowned emperor in the halls of the Bourbons. A month later, with German troops camped in the boulevards of Paris, France e. lected the first president of the present republic. It was this new government that accepted the terms of peace which have ever since kept the fires of re- venge burning in the hearts of Frenchmen. The German speak ing par of the province of LOT raine was given up, with the cities of Metz and Thionville; Alsace was surrendered with the city of Strassburg-that city whose statue in Paris has ever +ince been draped in mourning. And finally, France paid to her one billion dollars, and consented that German troops should remain on her soil until it was paid.
 Such was the last struggle be- tween France and Germany, and such were it's results, France the bitter dose and bided her time. Has that time come? ?-Kansas City Star.
