Shortly after the fight at jena In
1906 Napoleon dispatched an officer
10 Marshal Mortier requiring him to
seize certain important towns with
out delay. When the officer arrived al
the mouth OF the Elbe. where the
river is seven and one-half miles wide,
he was threatened with serious loss OF
time. The river was just covered
with ice: Therefore to row over was
out of the question. He could not
cross by the nearest bridge without
going 20 miles out of his way on roads
heavy with snow So he resolved to
skate across the thin. freshly formed
ice. Had he tried walking he would
have sunk at once. but by Swimming
along on his skates at the top of his
speed he got over the river both dry
and unframed BY this daring deed
he saved six hours. did what Napoleon
bade him do and won great credit for
his bold and clever exploit.

In somewhat similar fashion, WI 4
America was fighting for her independ-

ers to aid in military organization.
Baron Steuben, the Prussian: Pulaski
and Kosciusko, Poles, and Lafayette.
Frenchman, were the most notable fig
ures. OF all these 1T can be said that
they were fighting the cause of free
dom, which was also their own; but
they were soldiers of fortune, neverthe-
less.
There were many adventurers in the
Italian war for freedom, and Garibaldi
had been one himself, serving in the
French navy and in the army of the
Republic of the Rio Grande," the pres

tanned the height of his fame he. with
his sons, served in the French army
during the Franco-Prussan war.
In the wars of Servia and Bulgaria
there were Russians and many other
foreigners, while in Spain one has but
to consider the names of certain states
men of recent years to see how many
adventurers have served to make the
history of that country. The wars in
Africa We're won by ODonnell, who was
born in Spain, but whose ancestry is
well betrayed He became the Duke of

A warrior named O'Higgins played a
chief part in the wars of Chile. In
China the leaders have time and again
been men of Western race, and it would
be interesting to learn how many grad
yates of Annapolis have served in the
Chinese navy. In Morocco but a short
while ago it was kaid Mclean who was
the moving agent in affairs.
