 As Napoleon entered the palace, the Duchess stood at the head of the stair way and spoke words of welcome The Emperor gazed at the brave woman for a moment and then said, q am sorry for you, madame, but I must crush your husband. Let my dinner be served" No other response did he make to her greetings.
 But the Duchess calmly persisted in her courteous yet courageous bearing toward him, and she was rewarded the next morning with a summons tc his apartments in the palace while he was at breakfast. How could your hus- Ddnd, nauame, ne uemanued, ne so mad as to war against me?"

 Against the tiny town of vierzehn- heiligen in particular the battle tide surged for a full half day. Besides its modest, old church today there rises a cross in memory of the men who were slain in it's winding lanes and door yards while its tavern walls are covered with rusty souvenirs of the field of com- bat. Although divided by stone walls into many thrifty, little German farms. the size of the battlefield is better suited for golf links than for a mighty combat between two great armies.
 The Night Before
 The larger part of that small field was white with the tents of the Prus- sians and Saxons when Napoleon climbed up the front of the LAndgrafenberg, which rises as steep as a roof from the valley in, which Jena drowses beside the River Saale. He saw the allies across the field, hardly mile away, where they were secure against the approach of the enemy. They held the only high road from Jena. which winds about until 1t takes the big hill in the rear. while the almost perpendicular front of the hill rose like an impregnable breastwork for their protection. The thought that great army might scale 1t had not entered their fears. Napoleon. however. had not sent an army up the walls or the Alps to be daunted now by the Landgrafenberg, and he ordered his columns to scramble after him up the wooded steeps.
 As night drew on lights of the allied camp blazed forth. Meanwhile over at the brow of the bluff. where tree and seat now mark the site of Nap6leon's bivouac, single small flame flickered unoticed in the outer darkness. It was the only light permitted in the French camp. and the Emperor sat by it studying his plans for the morrow.
 All night his soldiers were tOiling up the stony beds of the dry brooks, but they extinguishedl their lanterns as they entered upon the plateau and joined their sleeping comrades in the silent encamp- ment. It was the Emperor's habit, how ever. to sleep little the night before Q battle. Most commanders at such times issue their orders for the next day and go to bed. Napoleon. on the contrary, took his rest first and planned his bat ties after refreshing himself with sleep and when he was in possession of the latest reports to reach his headquarters T lie down at o'clock" he wrote Jose phine from the Prussian campaign. "and I rise at midnight. sometimes think that you are not yet abed."
 When he rose at midnight before the battle of Jena and made the round of his lines he found some heavy guns had been stalled in the steep track up the night. He went among the baffled off cers and weary soldiers. As they saw the Emperor, lantern in hand, taking charge of the work, they were inspired to renewed efforts in their struggles against the rocks and trees that opposed them.

 20,O00.000 francs" was his very practical computation of the value of those most impressive-if unworthy--trophies of his victory over Prussia.
 It may seem almost too theatrical to be historical if we leave the conqueror musing over the changed fortunes he had brought upon the realm of the Great Frederick and standing there behind the pulpit of the Garrison church, where in less than a year, King Frederick William TIL Queen Louise and the Czar had stood and sworn by those ashes to drive him out of Germany forever. Yet what more fitting curtain fall can we have for the scene that had Just been enacted in the drama of history?

A Strange Battlefield

The Scholastic repose of that ancient and celebrated university town is guard ed by two towering sentinel nights. one the Bismarkturn and the other the Landgrafenberg. whose topmost night is called the Napoleonstein. For it is there on that brow of the Landgrafen- berg that Napoleon pitched his bivouac in waning October day. and there in the dawn of the following day he opened the famous battle of Jena.

At the opening of the nineteenth century Germany still remained a prey 10 the tribal system of the middle ages There were nearly if not quite as many nations in the few hundred miles be- tween the Rhine and the Niemen as there are independent sovereignties on the entire face of the earth today, A traveller may circumnavigate the globe now without crossing more frontiers or passing through more custom houses than barred trade and communication between the German people only lit- tie more than 100 years ago. Prog ress was dead among them and pa- triotism unborn.
 The innumerable courts and their aristocracies despised the mother tongue and spoke the more polite lan- guage of France. If the King of Prussia wrote letter to his Queen he employed French.
 German things were good enough only for the great, dumb, driven peas antry. Those stolid masses wore the yoke of serfdom and were crushed to earth beneath the burdens of the feu- da1 system. They were without liberty without schools, almost without rights of any kind and could not own a rood of the soil they titled.
 Prussia was the natural leader of Germany, being by far the largest strictly German state. But she was yet only Prussian and cared little for Germany as a whole. The reigning family of Hohenzollerns, with no pub lie conscience to call them to account, played politics as sordid game of grabbing and cheating, looking only to increasing the numbers of their sub 5ects and swelling their revenues They were still dripping with the bloody spells of the partition of Poland when they returned from Russia and Aus trfa, their partners in that horrible crime. to traffic with Napoleon.
 They were well satisfied to share his spells until In his war with England he snatched Hanover from the British crown and took possession of Bremen and Cuxhaven, a step which brought him to the frontier of Prussia and gave him command of her two gateways to the Atlantic. Divided counsels arose and the weak and irresolute King Frederick William III found himself pulled and hauled between French and anti-French factions, the latter having an ardent and influential champion in Queen Louise. whose sweetness and beauty have been immortalized by ar lists.

A Patriot Queen


 Louise was not Prussian Born in one of the smaller states and daughter ~of one of the poorest of the princely families, brought up in poverty and close to the soil, she had imbibed the true native spirit and felt the stirring of a German patriotism.

Instead of whirling his triumphant army toward Prussia. however, he chose to humor her, and at the same time embroil her with England by making her a gift of Hanover, which he had only just taken from her ally, the English King.

A Woman's Tears

Another woman saved the life of her husband by appealing to Napoleon, after he had made his resistless way to the capital of Prussia and, entering Berlin in triumph, had seated himself in the aban- doned palace of the Hohenzollerns. This was the wife of the Prince Hatzfeld, gov sernor of Berlin, who, after having been pledged to do nothing against the inter- ests of the army of occupation, attempted to communicate with the King. The let ter fell into Napoleons hands; the Prince was arrested and about to be brought before courtmartial which would sure ly have sentenced him to be shot, when the Princess threw herself upon the mercy of the Emperor. T never could resist a weeping woman,' said the conqueror who had so often been conquered by Jose phine's tears.

The best example of the swiftness with which Napoleon made war is pre- sented by MT. Morgan today in his story of the astonishing Seven Days Campaign that culminated in the Bat tie of Jena and the wreck of the King dom of Frederick the Great.
 How Napoleon laid the corner stone of the modern German Empire-How he abolished serfdom in Germany and made all men equal before the law How the beautiful Queen Louise, great-grandmother of Kaiser William II, challenged him, and how the death of a simple bookseller aided to bring on mighty war-how Napoleon hauled his army up the face of a steep cliff and fought the great battle of Jena on it's brow-How one German woman conquered him with her cOur- age and another with her tears-Na- poleon al the tomb of Frederick the Great-All forming together com plete story today.

Death of John Palm


 transports of an unreasoning rage and a blind self-assurance, Napoleon himself suddenly aroused the fury of the middle classes throughout Germany. Some anti French pamphlets appearing in the con- federation, he ordered that their editors be brought before a military commission and shot within "A hours. In accordance with that sentence the soldiery went to Nuremberg, seized John Palm, book seller, stood him against wall and shot him.
 By shooting that bookseller, Napoleon gave the democracy martyr as he had already given a martyr to the aristocracy when he ordered the shooting of the Duke d Enghein in the moat at vincennes. And the house of John Palm, which Nurem- berg cherishes within its old walls, is one of the first houses on 'the Path of Napoleon" to St. eHlena. It deserves at the same time to be venerated as among the earliest shrines of United Germany. for perhaps the death of the bookseller of Nuremberg was the first event to arouse a really national public opinion among the German people. His fate con- tributed a sentiment, an element of moral indignation to the war toward which Prussia was hastening headlong.
 Preparing for War
 Although Napoleon neglected no detail in his preparations for the war he could not believe the plain signs of coming hostilities. As late as the middle of Sep tember he said: "The idea that Prussia. will attack me single handed Is so ab- surd that 1t does not deserve notce.'.
 The two powers were most unequally matched Prussia had only 10000, coo peo- pie against five times that number under Napoleons sway She could not hope promptly to bring in the field as many men as he already had under arms in confederation on her frontier, and in all 6OO,000 troops were upholding his eagles in long battle line that stretched from the dykes of Holland to the Straits of Messina.
 As always with Napoleon's foes the Prussians fancied they could fool him. The King, although he had reopened the Port of Bremen to British commerce and his troops already were on the march. congratulated himself in letter to the Czar in the first week of September that "Bonaparte has left me at my ease" But while Napoleon was leaving Freder- ick William at his ease he was loading down the beams of light with semaphore telegrams to his army. Possessing the only optical telegraphic system, he could send an order from Paris to the Rhine in half an hour, distance that the post required four days to cover.
 At last in early October Prussia deliv- cred the ultimatum, which, when re- ceived. left Napoleon only one day to quit German soil. Already. however his vanguard was across the Bavarian from tier and moving toward the enemy
