NnpOIeOn's Prediction.

"All Europe may be all cossack OF
all republican" Hhis significant re-
mark was made by Napoleon at St
Helena on April 16, 1916, and present
day events seem to shape themselves
in keeping with this proprecy to a
certain degree.

de las Casas in the preface to his
Memorial de st. Helene" "Admi-

but, sire, may / presume to ask"
related Las Casas, "if Moscow had
not been burned, did not your majesty
intend to establish yourself there?"
Certainly" replied Napoleon, "and

larspectacle Of an army wintering in
the midst of a hostile nation which
was pressing upon it at all points. In

yield to fate. And after all how un-
fortunate for France, and, indeed, for
all Europe.
"Peace concluded at Moscow" said
he, "would have fulfilled and ended
my hospitle expeditions. = A new
horizon, new undertakings would
have unfolded themselves for the well
being and prosperity of all. The
foundation of the European system
would have been laid, and my only
remaining task would have been the
organization.
II should have had my Congress,
my treaty alliance. In that assembly
of all the soverigns we should have
discussed our interests in a family
way and have settled our accounts
with the people as clerk does with
his master
s'Thus Europe would soon have
formed in reality but one and the
same people and those who travelled
would everywhere find themselves in
one common country. Paris
would have been the capital of the
world and France the envy of nations.
In my leisure I should have visited
every corner of the empire, receiv-
ing complaints, founding monuments
and doing good everywhere and by
every means.
"These also, my deal Las Casas,
were among my reveries."
Napoleon then arraigned himself
before all the nations" says Las
Casas in another place.
"The French and the Italians
lament my Absence" said the En-
perOr.
e's'I nave the gratitude of the Poles
and even the bitter regrets Of the
Spaniards. Europe will soon deplore
the loss of the Equilibrium, to the
maintenance of which my French en-
pire was necessary. The continent
is now in the most perilous situation,
being continually exposed to being
overrun by cossacks and Tartars; for
in the present state of things before
100 years all Europe may be all cos
sack or all republican" Washing

ATTACKS FOOD BILL
OBSTRUCTION|STS

Senator John Sharp Williams struck
at food legislation obstructionists to-
day.
He read articles from newspapers
assailing those who obstructed Ad.
ministration policies, and he declared
two little groups on each side OF the
chamber were "anti-Administration
anu Anti-American." He charged
they opposed everything that goes to
seeing the present trouble through.
1T Is time the majority of the Sem
ate should get together and say to
this group OF Senators, America Is
tired Of you and we are tired Of you.
and we want to do something said
Senator Williams.
1t was well-recoEnized that sena-
tor Williams was hitting at Senator
Rood, Gore and others who are op-
posing the adoption OF the conference
report on the food bill.
Senator Williams strongly urged
the senator's to quit so much speech
making and hurry through legislation.
He declared Congress was tagging on
through the dog days.
