claimed a campaign for the capture f London, and in midsummer he pitched the camp of the army of England" at Boulogne, in sight of the chalk walls of the enemy.
 AS he passed through Amiens, on the way to his camp, he drove beneath an arch inscribed Road to England. boasting he would jump the ditch" Caesars galleys had crossed the chan nel and invaded England, but the ex- petition of the Roman conquerer Twas childs play" he said. Mine is the en- terprise of the Titans."
 France resounded with the drum beat and the tread of marching hosts. while Napoleon began the construction of an immense hotilla of flat bottom boats for their transport and for fer rying over 10000 horses and 400 can non besides. Since if can be done, it must be done,' was his watchword
 Caesar had crossed with 800 boats; the modern Caesar commanded that 2O00 boats be built, from 50 to so feet long and from 10 to 1T feet in width, and mostly having draft of no more than five or six feet. Their average transport capacity was designed to be from 50 to 130 men each, and they were to be equipped with both sails and oars.

Editor NapoleOn

Napoleon's one chance to get even with his foes on the British press was to re- turn their fire in his own official paper, the Moniteur, where he showed himself a pretty good lighting editor, with a ready command of d large and brilliant vocabu- lary of yituperation. It was in the col umns of the Moniteur that he labeled Eng land "a nation of shopkeepers turned fli- busterers," and described her government as the rule of a mad King and a prime minister who was like an old nurse while through the same medium he spread abroad the report of the unhappy neces- sity that actually had arisen of placing George III in straightjacket
 Finally he inserted in the Moniteur a report from General Sebastiana, d Cor sican, whom he had sent on a scouting mission in the east. declaring that France could recapture Egypt with 5000 men. and he replied to British military preparations with the announcement that France would have 500,000 soldiers to avenge the republic against England. At those thrusts the British lion roared the louder, and the speech from the throne proclaimed still further measures for the defense of the island realm.
 At the very next session of the Eng fish Parliament after the signing of the treaty of peace, the Kings speech had breathed a warlike spirit, to which Ma poleon had retorted by sending this ex- traordinary challenge to London: "The first consul is but 8 years old. As yet he has destroyed none but states of the second order. Who knows what time 1t would take him, If forced to it. to change anew the face of Europe and to revive the empire of the west?'

Tricking the Enemy at Sea

Some historians, rejecting the mad folly of Napoleon's talk of rowing or lodging through the British channel fleet, insist that his entire campaign of invasion was but mere ruse to enable him to marshal and equip his forces, not for a descent upon England at all, but for a sudden thrust at other enc mics from whom no sea separated him Russia and Austria. This, however, is reasoning after the fact for in the end the camp of Boulogne really became only the starting point of the great cam paign of Austeritz.
 Nevertheless. it seems far more prob- able that he really planned a grand na- val and military combination against England and that all his buster about attempting an invasion without the hep of fighting ships war made merely to conceal his true purpose to assemble d. supporting fleet. The British admiralty were not deceived for a moment by his pretense of relying on calms and fogs; but kept a close watch his navy throughout the two years and more of this extraordinary movement.
 Leave it to me-" he confidently said on his return from his Italian corona ton, rely on my activities I will sur rlise the world by the grandeur and the rapidity of my strokes"
 Admiral Nelson, who was again on guard in the Mediterranean as at the time of Napoleon's dash to and from Egypt, was tricked by clever fent As he saw French troops marching by the thousands towards the snore of Italy and that coast being heavily fortified, Nelson became convinced that Napoleon was planning anew the conquest of the east. But while he raced off to Alexandria in pursuit of the fleet under Admiral Vile- neGve, which had broken out of Toulon, Viileneuve was left frse to pass through ( |. with Spanish fleet and sail to the West Indies

On the Heights of Bouloene

From little fishing town Boulogne became, with the assembling of the army. the most populous city in France after Paris. Its buildings were turned into offices, warehouses and hospitals, while city of wooden huts sprang up on the plain above the town for the ac- commodation of the troops. its streets bearing the inspiring names of Napo- leon's victories and generals.
 Napoleon took for himself and Jose phine a chateau two miles back of Boulogne. bait mpst of the time he was

and the first consul left the room, re- beating as he went, "Woe to them who do not respect their treaties.'
 As the door closed. 1t closed upon the peace of Amiens and the peace of the world. Thus began, in the spring of 1903, the titanic war which was to draw into its vortex all the nations. until the battle line should stretch from Moscow to Detroit, and end only at Waterloo in 1S15

The Real Plan of Campaign

Napoleon's plan was co have other d. visions escape from their ports. sail for West Indian waters, where they were to combine for a descent in full force upon the English channel and form d safe convoy for his sfotilla of transports Suddenly assembling 10 CT 80 French and Spanish vessels of war in the channel he hoped to hold it for two months while the British were collecting their fleets, which his various feints had caused them to scatter over the seas.
 "The English know not what awaits tnem,' the Emperor rejoiced as he saw his naval maneuvers open so fortunately with the sailing away of Villeneuve. "If We have the power of crossing for but P hours, England will be no more" As he paced the sand cliffs of Boulogne, watching for the appearance of his sails on the western horizon, his spyglass swept the opposite shore, and he saw the roofs of the English, and the islanders tustling about in their preparations to beat him off 'I only await a favorable wind.' he said enigmatcally to his suite, who were in ignorance of his sea cam- Taisnl ito plant the imperial eagles on the Tower of London

That shining white obelisk is the boundary stone of the empire of Napo- leon, and on it's top stands the bronze effigy of the man who spent 15 years of his life in d futile effort to cross the English channel.
 As the boat draws nearer the end of its voyage from the English isle to the continent of Europe, the ruined tower Of Caligula is seen on the brow of the yellow nights, where the legionaries of Rome planted it in the fortieth year of the Christian era. Hard by the con scripts of Napoleon reared for him a timbered palace in the third year of the nineteenth century, where he could dwell in the midst of his nearly 200, 900 warriors who were ready at his nod to bear him on their arms into the palace of St. James. And down alongside the quay where the Folkstone steamer now ties up, 1000 boats waited to ferry them over the % miles of water that rolled between them and their goal. Some of the craft are afloat to this day, the barelegged fisher women of the old town insist and are numbered among their herring fleet But they have never crossed the chan mel and grated on an English beach!
