The Battle of Marengo

The battle came before either side was properly prepared for it. Taken by sur- prise, Melas had been able to assemble forces only about 5000 men at Alessan- dria. when the French presented them selves before the brick wall of that town an important place G0 miles south of Milan. Napoleon, on ms part, had neg lected for once his adopted maxim that God is always on the side of the heav- fest battalions." He had tempted fate by so dspersing his army as to bring perhaps only 20,000 men to the field of action and only 40 guns to meet the fire of the POO Austrian guns.
 Although he had long counted on find ing Melas at Alessandria, he had lost faith in his own prediction. He rode in hard rain almost to the own gate the day before the battle, and finding no signs of large force present there, he went away. When, therefore, Melas sallied out of the gate the next morning at break of day, there was only thin French line drawn across his avenue of escape.
 For five hours this small force had struggled to restrain the advance of the Austrians, when at 10 clock Napoleon galloped upon the scene of battle for the first time with his old Guides. now the Consular Guard, and wearing the cloak which was destined to cover his coffin when it was borne to the willows at St Helena.

Don't Shut In Disease Germs
mn tho New York American.

Frcm tho New York American.
 Two months of cold weather are ahead. Possibly three. By keeping the windows closed you can shut out the cold. You can and will also shut in disease germs. Incidentally, by breathing the polluted air of c,ossd rooms you will shut the germs in yorlr aystems. Then you-will first get colds and afterward pneumonia. The germs of all diseases. measles scarlet fever whoopine noilsh and diphthsria. that the children bring home from the schoo and the street. will take up their abode in your closed apartment and by ard by they will fall to work.
 Keep the house ventilated. and you will keep the faniy's lungs ventilated. Th4 germs will be there just the same, but they will not stay t, work.
 Keep the house warm but keep it ven- tilated. When the radiator is turned on, open the windows and the bad air will go out and the fresh air come in When you go to bed use plenty of blankets and opea the window wide. Sometimes it is un- comfortable to rise feeling chilly, but 1t Is much better and much safer than to rise with fever hammering at your pulse and contagion sursing through your blood.

England welcomed the relief that peace would bring, although looking upon It as hardly more than brief truce, an experimental peace, IS her statesmen de- scribed it. She did not yield until the French had lost Egypt and until she her self had little to lose from breathing spell
 But it was no more than postpone ment of the inevitable day of reckoning. Louis XIV pushed forward the frontiers of France, only to have them rolled back by jealous neighbors under Louis XV. When the Revolution was assailed by foreign coalitions, the republican armies drove the invaders from French soil and enlarged the boundarfe. and influence of France more in six years than Louis XIV had expanded them in 60. 1t was certain that this immense preponderance of France could not be maintained py Napoleon without fighting all Europe sooner or later Nor could he yield an inch of ground without risk of being driven from power at home.
 The treaty between England and France. which signed at Amiens by Lord Cornwallis, of Yorktown memory. and by Joseph Bonaparte, enabled Napoleon. however, to sheathe his sword for time and to exchange the camp of the soldier for the council of the statesman.
 An extraordinary condition of affairs among the heads of the other principal states of Europe gave Napoleon a great advantage Besides France there were five important powers in that day, and three of them were ruled by monarchs with unbalanced minds while the rulers of the remaining two were crowned medi- ocrities.
 For q month at a time the progress Of his insanity left George III incapable of holding communication with the British ministry. Charles IV King of Spain, passed half his days in his workshop and stables dressed in laborers blouse. while the remaining half he hunted in the forest with hundreds of horses and servants. abandoning the government of his Kingdom to Godoy, the paramour Of his Queen. Paul. the Car of Russia, was q prey to eccentricities and violent out bursts that amounted to madness The throne of Prussia was occupied by Q weakling. Frederick William III, while Francis of Austria, although a man of strong character was narrow-ninded monarch bound to a dead past.
 Napoleon stalked into the company of these royal incompetents giant. He fiattered the passions of the Czar and bore himself toward the reigning fam fly in spain as if he had been appointed by probate court to be their guardian, while the Prussian King yielded to his mastery.
 The republic saw it's elected chief the overlord of royal Europe.

Out of the battle Of Marengo caua peace, the first that vsar-worn world mad known since monarchic:,l Europe comoined against tle French rev olution eight years before.

Ii she save him peace on the water he ro ould be abc tn reinforce his army in Egypt and keep his foothold in the east.
 The British, therefore, sent the Aus trians an extra subsidy for the contiri- uance of the campaign against France in Germany, which. however, was hrough. to a disastrous end by General Nrrean ir a great French victory at Hohcnlln- den in the December rollowing Marengo.
 Napoleon now shove hardly less skill in the game of diplomacy than in the game of war.
 He made his moves like an adept chess man. He brought Austria to hardel terms than he had imposed at Campo FOrmio two years before, closed an ugly quarrel with the United States made | trade with Spain for Louisiana and pro noted feud between Russia and the Baltic powers against Great Britain which broke out into a naval war. cul- initiating in the battle of Copenhagen

The Men Who Won

Desaix had been killed at the head of his column. Napoleon had lost a sol dier whom he felt a greater fondness than for any other in the army, and he said that death had shut his heart to the joy of victory. Bourreinne tells us the General-in-Chief seemed on tho point of crying as he exclaimed: What a triumph this would have been if l could have embraced Desaiz on the field of battle" Then he added, with quickly rising spirits, Little Keller mann made lucky charge. We are much indebted to him. You see what trifling circumstances decide these af- fairs" To the general himself he only remarked, 'fYou made pretty gooi charge and kellermann is said to have replied: 'I am glad you are satis- fled. l have just placed the crown of France on your head"
 It Is doubtful if he dared really to say such thing to Napoleon's face.

X Great Football Field

Nearly all the famous battlefields were appointed such by nature and not by military strategists. We hear of war riors selecting fields of combat. but they only seek out the places chosen for them long ages before they were born, general ly beside a stream or a hill
 Looking down from ,ne old legendary tower of Theodoric, the great Ostrogoth, which still rises among the orchard trees of Marengo, one sees a lazy little creek meandering over the broad plain that lies before the eastern gate of Alessandria. The plain is like a great football field, bordered on either side by hills that rise like the tiers of a grandstand, with the River Bormida washing the old walls of Alessandria at one end and the heights of San Giuliano risins at the other end of the gridiron while the tiny rivulet Fontanone is the 5o-yafd line.
 Across that mere brooklet the battle of Marengo was fought. There. by the steep banks of a reedy ditch, the history of Europe was decided for 15 years. At ? O clock of a June afternoon it was de- cided favorably to Austria and adversely to France, for then Melas had crossed the creek and smashed Napoleon's army into fragments Many of the French were in a rout, but others stubbornly con- slowly retreated over the plain. Lannes, falling back at the head of small bri- gadA. yielded only 9 mile in two hours. But at last the Consular Guard itself gave way under a blazing artillery fire,

A lovely helvidere rises in the shade of great trees, an altar against it's inner wall. Through an open ing in the center of the floor, a heap of bones surprises his gaze,
 There in that pit are gathered the relics If the slain in common pile, where the boys of France and the boys of Austria, are mingling their dust IS they mingled thei- blood in the cheek 1t on the plain.
