LAST GREAT EUROPEAN WAR.
Napoleon's Memoirs offered Free To.
gcther With Golfers Weekly
and Hartford Herald.

History repeats itself-but with
variations. A hundred years ago
France alone, under the leadership
of Napoleon, faced Germany, Aus
tria. Italy, Russia and Great Britain
and won.
At thirty-six. Napoleon had con-
quered every nation of Europe and in
the battle of Austerlitz in 1906,
practically brought the continent I'M
der the subsection of the French ar
my. Then Austria, Germany and
Russia formed the great coalition
against France, only to be beaten in
battle until they were forced to sue
for peace. England, thanks to her
impregnable navy, was the only ma.
tion not forced to acknowledge Ma
poleon's rule.
1t was the snow-covered steppes of
Russia rather than the military sci
ence of Europe that finally turned
the tide against him.
The present European crisis gives
a particular Opportuneness to the
offer of Napoleons Memoirs, an
nouncment of which is made in an
other column of The Herald to-day.
Few books throw more illuminat-
ing and interesting light on the I'M
DERIVING causes of those years of
conflict than the fascinating story of
the man whose meteoric career left
Europe sOwn with the seeds of ris-
content
Eventually" said Napoleon,
Russia will rule the World" The
present conflict will go far towards
determining the truth of that prOph-
ecy, and day by day it will furnish
an absorbing illustration of the ad-
vance which has been made in the
art of warfare since the days, only
a century ago, when France alone
had Europe at her feet.
NapoleOn's Memoirs. written by
his private secretary. Baron De Men
eval. will give you clearer insight
into that tremendous upheaval of
Europe which the present crisis
seems destined to reproduce.
