echoes. But it was a great night.
Then came the hard marches
through the passes of the VosgeS in
search of the vanished French, and
Mr. Fleischmann found himself in
the champagne country. from which
he formerly imported fine wines
regularly and frequently.
Hunted Up Friends.
In the village of lEpine he hunted
up the wine house with which he
dealt and was told to help himself.
With a gun and a knapsack and a
bottle for the captain and another
for the lieutenant, there was much
to think of and whether he was able
to carry off another bottle or two
for his own benefit and that of his
pals who can say?
Forty-four years is a long time.
Much has happened since, ana so
many of the details of the wine in
cident have slipped from memory,
but for all of that rEpine remains
bright spot in the recollections of
Mr.. Fleischmann, second only to
Reichshofen.

the Erlangen battalion engaged in
one Of the bits of German strategy
which reused such fears in the minds
of the French. Stories of their num-
erical strength were so exaggerated
that the peasants saw 100000 enemies
behind every tree.
The Germans helped along the de-
ception, and at Toul the battalion,
two abreast, to make the line longer

they laid aside their knapsacks and
put their helmets on backward so

More than week was spent-in the

miles by day and more by night was
the order of things until the ex-

Because of their WEAKNESS, they
were held in reserve as guards OF
the German headquarters across the
Mouse, on the heights of Dadelin-
court
Lying there Mr. Fleischmann saw
all the horrors of desolation and NIL

like the fighting at Woerth he has
little to say about it.
"Only Can Know About IT,

If you see 1t you never can forget

NEWARKER RECALLS WAR OF 1870,
HAS Is NEPE1E.WS IN KAISERS ARMY
Julius j. Feschman Also Had Five Brothers in the Franco
Prussan War-Tes of Battle of Sedan and March on
Paris-Stoy of Visit to Brewery by Bavarian Troops.

No man in Newark is following the
events of the war with greater In
terest than Julius Fleischmann, real
estate man at 4O4 Springfield avenue.
In the first place, he has twenty-five
nephews among the German troops
now hammering away at the allies,
and. in the second place, he and five
brothers fought or marched over
much of the same ground in 1870 in
the army of "Unser Fritz"
Mr. Fleischmann is a good story
teller, who leaves out shocking and
technical details to dwell on the
lighter incidents in which he was an
active participant. Before that war
he was wine merchant at Kitzin-
gen-on-the- Main, who Joined the Err
langen battalion Of the Sixth
Bavarian Sharpshooters, 80 fine a
battalion even as the Prussian
Guards, l tell you, sir"
The first fighting he saw was on
August for about fifteen minutes
at Weissenburg, the little town on the
Lauter river, in lower Alsace, which
sprung up around a Benedictine
abbey, and where the Germans first
felt out MacMahon's army.
Brief as was the engagement for
the Erlangen battalion, it gave a
near view of the mad fury of the
Turcos. Frances native African
troops, whose impetuous spirit has
not abated in this generation, ac-
cording to recent dispatches
From Weissenburg he marched to
Lembach the following day, and on
the night of the 9th camped in the
Nlederwald. between Langensulzbach
and Fraschviller.
Eager for Battle.
-Four years before the Bavarians
had fought with Austria against the
Prussians, and in the Franco German
war were eager for battle to prove
their devotion to the cause of the
new alliance. Accordingly, when they
were walked at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing by cannon firing from the direc-
| ton of Woerth, the Bavarians rushed
through the darkness towards the
tumult without any urging.
When day broke they continued
| their progress with the cross on the
! spire of the Church of st. Ettienne,
at Fraschviller, showing through the
trees as their guide. They went into
the thick of the fighting that morn
ing, and Fleischmann's company left
| eighty-three of it's $50 men to be
buried in the trenches near Langen-
| sulzbach.
Then came the big incident of the
| campaign. After the fighting of the
morning the battalion pushed on to
Reichshofen and bivouaced behind a
brewery. That night never will be
| forgotten, and still. as Mr.. Fleisch-
mann remarks, What is a brewery
among 5000 thirsty men after a bat
! tle?"
| Sentries were posted so that the
thirsty soldiers would make way for
Others in a reasonable time, and in
the morning the troops marched
! away leaving behind brewery that
