out in the French disaster of 1870 and the wndup of the
Bonaparte imperial family in the person Of Napoleon
Third
Not so many years before Napoleon Third sitting
in little French restaurant back of the Stewart building
in New York city. Greeley and Raymond were at the
luncheon Raymond said: "Let Bonapare make the salad
he's Frenchman."
Napoleon Third made the salad talked of his plans and
later Greeley said: "Bonaparte is fool enough to believe
that he will live to be Emperor of the French"
Bonaparte did become the third Napoleon and enjoyed
himself for while~ Sedan killed him. and he lucky to
die natural death
Now American soldiers take Sedan from the Germans.
world of changes and surprises What would Greeley
have said he watched Bonaparte stirring the lettuce
leaves that day, fortune teller had predicted "Ths
man will be Napoleon Third; Germany will destroy him,
and America will send two million and fifty billions
Of dollars to undo the German victory and restore conquered
territory to France?"
What will be done with the two Emperors, Charles and
William when the people of Austria and Germany make up
their minds?
You read of rebellions spreading across the whole
northern part of Germany the great German feet seized
by munous sailors going out to under the red flag
Hamburg, free city, utterly ruined by the war;
seeks kind of freedom the Russian pattern through
the mob
What will happen to the Emperors? To what extent
will history repeat the events of the French Revolution and
the fate of the feeble, well meaning Louis?
bis history tells how people enraged gradually turn
to killing
At first he appeared before the mob wearing their
tieoO now the red white and blue Of the French Re-
public.
He tried to run away and was brought back He went
to visit the National Assembly fooshy thinking his peo
pie still loved him Mabeau advised that he be received
with sullen respect
The silence of the people" said Mrabeau sis the les
son Of Kings Nobody imagined then that the King
to die with his wife and thousands of their mobiles.
Soon the deputies of France sat as solemn tribunal
deciding upon the punishment of the King Many invented
fine phrases for the occasion Here Of them to-
remind you how the people act in vengeful mood
Sieyes, formerly vicar general, revolutionary
politician, used only word MOdeath No fine phrase
there.
Bancal mercfuI voted: Exile wish to see the first
king in the world condemned to his living"
Carnot of the really great men of France voted
Death and never did word weigh so heavily upon my
heart"
LavicOmterie voted Death while the tyrant breathes
liberty stiles"
He liked fine phrase.
Gent found the wises comment when he voted spare
the Kings life and keep him in secluson, saying: ITO
make Charles First is to make a Cromwell
He meant that the English, when they beheaded
Charles got sterner ruler in Cromwell And was not
long before Napoleon followed Louis Sixteenth
to send the French marching and dying all Europe
Paganel voting for death, said: "a king of use only
by his death"
AlbOuys voted: Banishment; let this living specter
go out to stalk among thrones
Chailon said: "I will not commit murder that Rome
may make a saint
zangiaoOm suggested Let US keep capet alive for
scarecroW'
Most interesting Of all the vote of the Duke of Or
leans first prince of the blood royal who condemned his
cousin to death with these words "Soley occupied with
my duty convinced that all who have attacked or shall at
tack hereafter the sovereignty of the people merit death
vote for death"
That the most cowardly word in the whole trial
and it came from royal prince condemning his own flesh
and blood to death in order to save his own skin.
When the blowing of horns, the celebrating of peace
and the reading Of the terms you will have news
from Europe interesting surprising and painful Hatreds
stored up in people ugly, when they rushing
out with the power of great reservoir bursting through
its wall A surprised will be the Kaiser when he
learns what hate has been accumuatng below his throne
during four years Of hope deferred and promises broken.
