Battles That Have Two Names.

Newspaper readers have noticed that
in the dispatches different names are
sometimes given TO the same battle. For
example, the dispatches from France
spoke Of the Battle OF Haelen, whereas
the German dispatches called the same
engagement the Battle of Diest. That is
not unusual many of the worlds most
famous battles have two names.
Thus the Battle of Waterloo is known
by that name only among English-speak-
ing peoples. The French call it the Bat
tie of La Belle Alliance. The battle that
decided the war between Prussia and
Austria in 1866 is known among the Ger
mans as the Battle OF Sadowa; but the
Austrians call If the Battle of Koniggratz.
In the war OF 1870, between Germany
and France, the great engagement that
the Germans call the Battle of Gravelotte
is spoken of by the French as the Battle
of ST. Privat.
The same thing was common in our
Civil War. The battle that is known in
the North as the Battle OF Bull Run would
not be recognized by most Southerners
under that name. In the South il is in
variably called the Battle OF Manassas.
So the battle that the Federal generals
called the Battle of Pittsburg Landing
was by the ConfederateS called the Bat
tie OF Shiloh. Antietam is called in the
South the Battle Of SharpSburg. The
writer, a Southerner, whose father was a
Confederate officer, was twenty years
old before he ever heard OF the Battle OF
Antietam, although he was familiar with
all the details of the Battle of Sharpsburg.
The reason for this is that the oppoS-
ing armies always name the battle from
some prominent geographical landmark,
and as they look at the field from differ
ent points Of view, they naturally settle
on different names. Thus, at Waterloo,
the battle took its English name from the
little village where Wellington made his
final headquarters, and whence he sent
to England the first dispatch that an
nounced his victory. So in 1866 the
headquarters of the Prussian army was
near the village OF Sadowa; whereas that
OF the Austrians was near the village OF
Koniggratz. AT Gravelotte, the little
village OF that name was an important
point in the German lines; on the side
of the French, the hamlet OF ST. Pivat
was the key TO their battle formation.
As long as they held that, they were in
vincible; but when the Germans assalled
it in the rear and drove them oat, the day
was lost.

An Unfair Attack.

When foreign war vessels first went
into Chinese waters, it was found that the
Chinese had built forts facing the direc-
ton in which the attack was expected to
come, and had left their rear exposed.
When the English first appeared be-
fore the island OF Hongkong, they found
a formidable fortress frowning from the
rocks and garrisoned by several thousand
Chinese soldiers. The English COM
mander began to look round for the best
place of attack. While the Chinese were
sleeping, the English circled the island,
and at dawn suddenly came upon the
Chinese from the rear. The Orlentals
were thrown into wild consideration, and
one officer, who could speak some Eng
lish, ran out waving his arms.
"No b'long ploper" he shouted. mo
can come this side; must come ploper
side"

Had brushed il with magic wand,
And swept the summer scenes away;
No flower blooms. no song is heard
Save when some solitary bird,
Heartbroken with its solitude,
Walls out song from yonder wood.

She wears gloom akin TO mine;

A balm that eases heart and mind.
And dreams the Herod world has slain
Will all come back TO me again.

WILSON OPPOSED
TO AERIAL BOMB
ATTACK ON CITIES
Voiced His DisapprovaI of Meth
od of Warfare to U. S. En-
Yoys Abroad.
WROTE THEM UNOFFICIAL
LETTER TWO MONTHS AGO
Requested Their Good Offices
With BelIigerents to End Raids
on Unfortified Places.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-President
Wilson has communicated unofficially
to the diplomatic representatives of
the United States in the belligerent
countries of Europe his disapproval
Of attacks by bombs from aircraft
dropped on unfortified cities occupied
by non-cambatants
The President was careful not to
take the matter up officially and did
not even make his communication
through the State Department, but
personally addressed the American
ambassadors abroad. The President
took this course, it became known
today, nearly two months ago. The
facts came to light through the publi-
cation of a report that the President
had discussed the matter with Europ-
can diplomats here. This( however
was denied by some of the prominent
diplomats mentioned in connection
with it, including the German am
bassador
just how the American diplomats
abroad We're to convey President Will
sons feeling in the matter to the for
eign governments had not been dis
closed as White House officials in the
absence of the President, declined to
discuss the subject.
1t is believed here, however, that
the President called attention to the
article in The Hague convention of
1907, to which all the principal belli-
gerents are signatory, which provides
for notice of twenty-four hours before
the attack in order that non-combat-
ants may remove themselves from the
danger zone
Whether there have been any un-
official responses from the belligerents
was not known here today, but Amer
lean diplomats were instructed by the
President, 1t is understood, to handle
the matter with such discretion and
delicacy as would attend aerial at
tacks without notice, and at the same
time preserve the friendship which
the United States feels toward all the
belligerents involved.
1t is not believed that the President
mentioned any specific violation, but
expressed his views on the general
subject of aerial attacks. Through
unofficial character of the communi-
cation it was intended by the Presi-
dent to bring about a better under
standing about aerial warfare with
out actually involving the American
government in the matter.
1t is supposed that the American
diplomats used their good offices, con-
sequently, in a personal way with the
belligerent governments without per-
haps even mentioning the fact that
they were doing SO at the request OF
the President, as such methods of OBJ
tanning a desired result are not un-
usual in diplomacy.
