Napoleon,s Vain Hone.

One hundred years ago, March G.,
the allied army advancing on Paris
was seriously threatened In the rear
by the French peasantry. Long unac-
customed to invasion, and exasperated
by the devastation wrought by the
invaders, the peasants gathered into
troops and massacred the foreign sol
diery when not in sufficient numbers
to keep them in check. This led Ma
poleon to hope that his diminished
army would be supported by a general
rising of the people. But in this he
was disappointed. The people didn't
rise in any considerable number, and
the allies continued to march upon
Paris, convinced that the possession
of the French capital must inevitably
bring the war to a favorable conclu'
sion.

SOME OF THE STRUGGLES OF

One evening this week at the close
of a very busy day I drew me up at
my desk. Before me was scattered a
mass Of newspapers, all bearing the

tired brain and sur strained eyes al
most refused the task that was set be-
fore. But from somewhere and some

came in for a similar criticism while

were similar and even more grievous

between the houses of York and Ian

The Lancastrians chose as their en-

selected a white rose. While no great
popular principle was at stake, the
struggle indirectly did much for the
cause of democracy. 1t was said that
no fewer than ~ princes of the

A POPULAR HOTEL
FOR sOUTHERNERs

The Hotel Churchill, at the corner
York City, is one of the most popular
medium priced hotels in the city with
southern people. For many years the
house has enjoyed a splendid patron
age from southern people, both
transient and those who go to the
city to spend some time. The
Churchill brothers, who have operat-
ed the hotel for good many years,
are attentive to their business and
make their guests feel at home SO
that they naturally return again
when in the city.
The Churchill is a home-like hotel,
centrally located, in the very heart
OF the great city, from which point
any place in town or the suburbs Is
easily accessible. The house is well
managed, literally conducted, clean,
airy and comfortable and the rates,
especially by the week, are very
moderate. OF late the dining room
has been conducted on the European
plan, which most OF the patrons
seem to prefer.
The location of the Churchill is ON
one of the busiest corners in the
world, and It is estimated that more
than a million people pass the corner
every day of the year. This vast.
restless throng, ever moving and
ever changing, is a source Of endless
wonder and interest to the visitor
| from out OF town.
just now at the Churchill are Mrs
Mona Ramsaur, Miss Leontine Ram
saur and Miss Christine Hannah OF

IGNORANCE OF Won EDELsHEM
Officers Laugh at His Ideas Regard
ing the American Army

Washington, Aug. 31.-The Prus-
sian general staff underestimates the
military prowess of the United
States, judging from the remarks of
General Won Edelsheim in his memo
randum on the feasibility of an in
vasion of America. This was the
opinion of naval and military officers
interviewed here today. They were
slightly amused at some of Won Edel-
sheim's ideas.
1t was even suggested that scme
of these errors were so gross as to
lead to doubt that any member of the
Prussian general staff could have
been guilty of them.
According to the printed accounts,
General Won Edelsheim declared /:
AT present the regular army OF the
United States amounts to $4,000 men
of whom 10000 could be disposed
OF.
AS a matter of fact there are S.
600 IN the American army, of whom
outside of contingents in the Philip
pines, Hawaii, China, Porto Rico, the
Canal Zone, and the coast defenses
about 10000 men, according to an
estimate made today, could be put in
to the field. The size OF the Ameri-
can army can be found in any annual
report of the secretary of war.
