The Invincible Marne

Is there SONS fatality for barbar-

the air about 1t? Has 1t been fixed by
fate AZ the limiting line Of savage
and inbuman autocracy? II is a long
time. a. time Ia counted by years.
from AtillA to William ii, but NOR
ally they are contemporaries and
historically they are twins. Before
Atilla there was no one In his like
ness; since there has been none until
now; and both Atilla and the kaiser
have found at the Marne an invinci-
BILE something that seems to stand as
with drawn sword and to say,
"Backw It Was on the plain just be-
low Chalons-sur-M arne that Atilla
and his great army Of Huns met the
final check to his aspiration for
world power. 1t was day memora-
BILE in the worlds history, . day Of
battle. ruthless, manifold, immense,
obstinate" The old-tims estimates
Of l75, 600 to 10000 slain can not be
relied upon, but the carnage was
awful and the result WAS final. Atilla
retreated across the Rhine and the
power OF Atilla and the Huns was
forever broken.
Forever" did We say? All, no!
Another Atilla and other Huns were
to arise fifteen centuries later "a
greater Atills and . vaster tribe,
greater In the advantages and Oppor-
tunities OF evil that fifteen centuries
of human development has given
them. Yet he, too, and they, have
come to the Marine only 70 meet dis

Huns touched the water Of the In

hurled them back. shattered and
broken. Twice this battle has ragged,
~ on the old day, ruthless, mani

have the Huns retreated bleeding
from million wounds. When they
came down, like the Assyrians, four
years ago, with all the pomp and
majesty Of conquering power. they
held the French to be- easy prey.
Their countless hordes had, indeed
overwhelmed all opposition. and
Paris. the worlds desire, seemed al
most in their grasp. But the Marine.

shall be held sacred through ell ages.
and their reaching hands clutched
but the emptiness OF death.
But they had greater powers and
greater resources than Atilla. Etxel.
az they call him, never returned. 1t
took them four years, four long,
bloody, horrible years, but again they
came-no less mighty, no less fright
full, no less brutal than before. Else
where they had advanced. foot by
foot, and every foot at fearful cost,
yet mistakenly advancing. pressing
forward as " pushed by fate into
the crushing arms Of destiny. And
so, once more they reached the Mar
ne; once more the possession Of Paris
and the ful6llment of their hopes
seemed almost accomplished. But
again the guardian spirit of the Mar
ne. the guardian spirit Of humanity,
touched them, and they crumbled as
to dust. Who shall say that this is
but coincidence? Who shall say that
the physical Limitation Of might and
the spiritual Limitation Of evil may
not be somehow concurrent? Three
times the Huns have met the Marne;
three times 1t has destroyed them.
