This is the centenary OF the battle
OF Waterloo. Just 100 years ago today
Napoleon Bona2arte. the most famous
man in history. saw his magnificent
infantry slashed to pieces. his dash
ing cavalry sacrificed by futile charges
and even the marvellous Old Guard
cut 10 ribbons.

Who ordered that CHARGE: de-

command. 1T is an hour too soon.

dashed off to recall them, but already

Just as treachery had con

the part of his generals nip IN the

Between I and o'clock OF June Is
he discovered Wellington arranging
his army in order OF battle. The rain
which came down all night ended at
this time. Before 9 o'clock the EN-
peror again inspected his lines.
The attack was postponed on the
advice of the artillery officers who
wished the ground to be in better
condition for their guns. Wellington
had the stronger position and prepared
TO defend 1t until Butcher could join
him.
Wellington had 49.60S infantry, r..
4OS cavalry and 5,645 artiilerymen
with 1856 guns. Napoleon had 1880
infantry. 1876 cavalry and 1882 artil.

possession OF the village OF Mont,
Saint.Jean in the rear Of the allies.
But the first shots were fred before
this time. when Prince Jerome's divi-
sion was launched at Hougmont. The
assault begun before noon and failed.
Two more divisions were wasted IN
the attempt.
During this time a heavy artillery
fire was being directed at the exposed
center Of the allies line and at l.3O
the first corps in close formation al.
tackled and easily routed the pivot
brigade Of the British. But the French
met a terrific infantry fire from a
division behind a ridge and when
charged by cavalry were driven back
in confusion.
Napoleon at this time discovered
the advance guard Of Bulow's Prussian
division in the hills few miles away
and dispatched a corps 10 hold them
in check. He also sent dispatch 10
the wandering Grouchy and his $4,000
men who we're seeking Butcher order
ing him to return. but this Groucny
did not receive until evening.
An assault on La Haye Sainte dis
tinguished by its i'll management and
rashness occupied most OF the after
noon. AT dusk the house was taken.
AT this time Eey went wild. so -
speak, and regardless OF the protests
OF the cavalry generals who looked
moon his proposal as folly, he gathered
all their horsemen for the magnificent
but futile charge related above.
Time after time Ney sent his
raging horsemen over the artillery
OF the enemy and into its pha-
lanxed regiments beyond. The
carnage was fearful. Bodies lay
everywhere. And when at length
the cuirassiers were compelled TO
retreat for the twelfth time the
British rushed forward to their de.
serted guns and poured terrible
fire OF grape shot into the brave
horsemen.
That brilliant attack cost 1000 OF
the French cavalry while 10000 Eng
lish. cavlary and infantry, had laid
down their lives.
Ney. the fearless, was everywhere.
Five horses were shot from under
him, and even when the arrival OF
Blucher's $1,000 fresh troops scattered
the exhausted French in disorder, he
gathered up companies and hattallons
and rushed ferociously at his foe.
II was a drawn battle-until the
arrival of Butcher. Through the dust
in the distance Napoleon saw the col
umns approaching. Was it Grouchy
or Butcher? The day hinged on the

tons battle Even then Napoleon
strategy and cunning did not desert
him. He sent out the word along the
French line that Butcher was retreat
ing before Grouchy. Stirred by this
the French launched new attacks and
thousands more Of the enemy fell.
But hope was gone. Napoleon re.
treated within a square Of the old
guard, a comparative handful OF men.
The rest of the famous imperial guard
was hurled at the British who for
the first time in the day had begun
to advance. Wellington had given
his famous order: Up guards. and
at them" The French were in utter
rout. Marshal Ney. the bravest oil
the brave on foot. hatless and with
his sword in the air collected 1900
veterans and attacked the oncomin5
regiments. His men were slashed to
ribbons.
Four battalions OF the old guard
we're the only unbroken troops OF the
French army. Napoleon had relied
upon them to cover the retreat OF his
scattered forces. Wellington. on foot
himself led the attack on them. From
this comes the stirring phrase:
1.-THE old guard dies, but does not
surrender
Napoleon FIees to Paris.
That was their battle cry and the
old guard was destroyed-but not de-
feated. Reduced to $50 men they we're
called upon to surrender. we will not
WELD" they replied and made final
charge on the cavalry OF the British
killing many horses and men, then
sinking to the earth to die.
Marshal Eey was with them to
the last, fighting like common
soldier, slashing right and left
his sword. As he remarked to a
general when his marvellous
charge failed that 1t was either
death at Waterloo or before fir.

his fate.

NO FEAR OF DEATH.

fear DEATH This is the statement
made by Leo NJ. Frank. as he awaits
the final decision In his case. Unless
his sentence is changed to life i'm.
prisonment. Frank will be executed
{ next Tuesday. ANY minute he may get
the word that his last hope for life
has been shattered and that he must
die the death OF a murderer on the
gallows; and yet he has faint hope
that he may not be made to suffer
the extreme penalty OF the Law. Be.
! fore The West virginian goes to press
this afternoon, the word may DE
! flashed across the country that Leo
n. Frank will not be executed next
Tuesday. and It is to be fervently
hoped that such is the case.
From the first Frank has protested
I his Innocence Of the murder of Mary
Phagan. and hundreds OF thousands II
persons from coast to coast believe
that Frank is innocent and II the state
! Of Georgia insists on carrying out the
death penalty that a great injustice
viii have been wrought and that there
win forever be a deep blot on the
state.
Before man is executed all rea-
sonable doubt as to whether or not he
committed the crime for which he
pays the penalty with his life should
be removed; and in the case of Frank.
according to public opinion all rea.
sonable doubt in the Frank case has
not been removed and therefore it
Is an injustice to execute him.
From the very first there was great
doubt concerning Franks guilt, and
as the case developed that doubt was
made stronger, rather than weaker.
The evidence in the case was purely
circumstantial and exceptionally weak.
Frank was tried in surroundings which
made fair consideration OF the case
almost impossible. In Atlanta. where
1 the crime was committed and where
+ the.ease was tried. the feeling against
Frank was very strong. although there
I. was no basis for such feeling, save
Z the fact that he was a Jew. and there
Is no reasonable doubt in the minds OF
the people at large but that the jury
; which convicted Frank Of the crime
was influenced more or less by the
local feeling.
During the trial the jury sat and
heard men. in the courtroom shout at
them you had better hang the Jew;
) # you don't We will hang him and get
you. too. This in itself would almost
be sufficient claim for the new trial
which Franks attorneys vainIy tried
to get for him. Not only that. but the
main witness against Frank was a
negro Waterman, an admitted drunk
ard, who had served several prison
terms. This same negro Waterman is
suspected of many as the real per.
petrator OF the deed.
Hundreds of thousands OF petitions
have poured in from all over the coun.
try. from people of all nationalities.
asking that Frank be not executed;
but so far all the appeals have been
in vain. A justice loving public still

Are you, reader, honest, honorable

Don't stop at thinking about it,

mas seals means to Minnesota.
The economic loss to this state
annually from tuberculosis is ten
million dollars, which means that
every one Of us loses five dollars
personally. Practically all of the
$500 annual deaths from tubercu-
losis are preventable If taken in time
and properly treated. When you
buy a Red Cross Christmas seal you
help Minnesota to take them in
time" and to eliminate the needless
suffering and needless loss occa-
stoned by the white plague in this
state. tuberculosis leaves more des-
titute widows and orphans than any
other disease-Red Cross seals save
families from misery.
If Minnesota raises the fund
which it should, it will mean that
poverty will not prevent the proper
treatment of tuberculosis victims.
Adequate funds will make possible
the free services of physicians for
diagnosis and treatment, the care of
a visiting nurse, and the provision
Of proper diet and open air living for
the patient and protective care for
the families of the poor.
OF course we want our community
to rank among the first in per capita
seal sales this year. The way to do
this is not to talk about it, but to
buy seals. Let US put them on our
calling cards, on our private and
business correspondence, bills, pack
ages and everything that will hold
them from now until the end of the
year. If each of us purchased one
hundred seals, think of what our
community and the state could do In
Kidding itself of disease next year!

Law Of Subscription.

Few readers of newspapers fully and
clearly understand the law governing
subscriptions. Below are the de-
cisions of the United States Supreme
Court upon the subject:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary when subscrip-
ton expires, are considered as wish.
ing to renew their subscription.
If subscribers order a discontinuance
Of their periodicals the publisher may
continue to send them until all dues
are paid.
If the subscriber continues to take
the periodical from the postof1ce to
which it is directed, or receives it
from the carrier, he is responsible
until he has settled his bill and or
dered the paper discontinued.
II subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher and
the papers are sent to the former ad-
dress the subscriber is held respon-
sible.
If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time if they do not wish to con
tinue taking it, otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it, and the
subscriber will be responsible until
express notice with payment of all
arrearages is made.
