army.
In cabin, belonging to a poor Id
borer, about 2 miles from Sedan, Ma
poleon and Bismark, the Prussian
chancellor, met to consider the terms.
Atthis time he was asked if he would
enter into peace parleys, to which the
emperor replied that as a prisoner of
war he had no power to decide the des-
tiny Of the French people, but the
council and the empress at Paris would
have to act in the future affairs of the
nation.
AS soon as possible the meeting be-
tween the emperor and the king of
Prussia was arranged and at that
time Napoleon surrendered his sword
to the king.
Bulletins appeared in all leading
the surrender Of Sedan in the follow
| ing words: "The emperor has surren-
derd himself and his army to me
alone.' (signed) WILHELM.
While the te-deums were sung in
mourning for her brave sons and ar
| rangements were made to transport
the army Of Sedan to Prussian con-
concentration camps. 1t was sight
that will never be forgotten, when at
about IL o'clock on September 2, regi-
ment after regiment marched out Of
the city to the plain surrounding, there
to stack arms. and to disband as an
army.
A brief address to the troops was
read to all from the emperor, in which
he praised the army for the deeds Of
valor performed, assuring all that it
was impossible to continue the uneven
struggle, hence his duty to his people
compelled him to take this step.
Many Of our officers broke their
swords over their knee rather than to
surrender them to the enemy as tro-
phies of victory. The hardest blow
was to fall, when we were compelled
to lower our standard before the flag
of Prussia. But such are the vicis-
situdes Of war.
Germany had tried hard to follow
the old lines of campaign in the pres
ent titanic struggle, especially the at
tacking in mass formation, regardless
of the sacrifices of men made neces-
sary by such warfare under present
changed conditions. 1t remains to be
seen whether or not she will succeed

Read and Heed Them
Disordered kidneys are giving many
signals Of distress.
The secretions may be dark, con-
tanning sediment
Passages are sometimes frequent,
scanty, painful.
Backache is often present day and
night.
Headaches and dizzy spells may oc-
cur.
Weakened kidneys should receive
quick help.
Don't delay! Use special kidney
remedy.
Daon's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys, backache and urinary dis
orders.
Medina evidence proves their worth.
Mrs. John Wise, 225 w. Lafayette
Rd., Medina, says: "My kidneys
showed weakness and gave me much
annoyance. I had dull, heavy pains
across my back and suffered from
headaches and dizzy spells. Two box
es Of Doan's Kidney Pills acted
promptly in relieving the aches and
pains through my back and benefit
ing me in every way" .
