ON THE FIELD OF WATERLOO
Memorial That Marks the Scene of One of the Worlds Great
 est Battles

Great among the landmarks of the world stands the Lion of Waterloo on its mound 200 feet high. says the Strand. Ten miles from the city Of Brussels 1t marks the plain where over 50,000 men were killed, wounded and missing. It is hardly necessary to say that it was fought on June IS. 1915, and that it eliminated the cam paign following Napoleon'a escape from Elha and stopped his mighty ef- fort to conquer all Europe.
 The Duchess of Richmond gave a ball in Brussels on June Is, at mid night Wellington. having already hearI that the outposts had been en- gagged, went to the ball. Here he found the Prince of Orange, the man who seemed fated to cause useless loss of life through his blunders Even now he ought to have been at Binche' where the duke promptly sent him. after inquiring for news.
 Far from being surprised at the evenings attack, as some writers as Bert. the duke had dispatched his or ders before he went to the ball, for at 2 a m. strange sounds broke the nights silence, and greet masses or troops were on the move, bugles were blowing everywhere and people opened their windows to see the various reg iments tramp past. A Highland band were playing their bagpipes to the swing of the Black Watch as they went out to battle through the Ma mur gate Curiously enoegh. many Of the officers were still wearing their silk stockings and dancing pumps, for the heat was so intense that men went mad and died on the march; but for the rest, they pushed on and were soon under fire. The battle itself Is eclipsed by the thought of the awfui aftermath: the plain so filled with the dying and the dead that for three days parties brought in the wounded
 In the hurry 300 bodies were nunS down we'll For 30 years the corn crops were of a deeper eoior where they grew over the blood of the slain on the scene where the Lien Of Water loo now forms the greatest of the land marks of the world.
