100 Years Ago Today

n NE hundred years ago today Paris
made its last gallant defence
- against the allies. The engage
ment is known to history as the battle OF
the Barriers, and was fought for the
most part in the outskirts OF the city
The little army intrusted with the de-
fence of the city was herOically aided by
the national guard, the students OF the
military schools and the citizens IN gen
eral. A desperate resistance was made,
but the result of the battle was a fore
gone conclusion. The French were IN
command of marshals Mortier and Mar
mont, while prince Schwartzenberg, the
prince of Wdrtemberg and marshal Blu
cher directed the movements of the allied
armies. Only after the enemy had forced
themselves almost into the heart OF the
CITY did marshal MaTmOnt agree to a
capitulatiOn.
