CHARLES KLUS Tells
STORY OF HIS HOME
CITY, BREST,FRANCE
Muncie, Ind, Aug. /, 1920.


My dear Aunt Polly:
l am writing a letter to tell you
how l am. ] am well row and |
hope you are the same. l am work
ing up at the Emingray glass fac
tory and | am working at night.
am making SIT a week That's
pretty good. ! am going to tell
you story OF my own town, over
in Brest, France.
History of Brest, France.
Brest, fortified town of 90,540
inhabitants. The exact beginning
of the city and origin of its name
have not been discovered. The
Romans established a military post
and a fortress, they know; the
tower existed in the w century
and belonged to the counts of
Leon. One of them, named Even,
dispersed the Saxon pirates who
came to pllage another man
named Marvan, who started the
first chateau. The town did not
begin TO play an important role till
the thirteenth century.
Spaniards Besiege in Vain.
In 1912, the King of England, Ed
ward III, took Brest, and gar
rfsoned it. Bugestchlin tried in
vain to deliver the town, which was
not given back to France till a half
century later, in 1897. During the
wars Brittany waged for indie
Evidence, the Duchess Anne called
the English to assist the buffer
army of the king The king held
Brest and only by the marriage of
Anne and the King, Charles XIII,
on December 10, H91, did the war
end.
During the wars, the Spaniards
besieged Brest without success. In
1881, Richelieu commenced the SER
ious development of the port and
arsenal. Colbert and Duquesne and
their assistant, Vauban, after hav-
ing repulsed an attack made by 92
British and Dutch vessels, erected
new Notifications.
During the fourteenth century,
Brest continued to develop and to
strengthen her defences. The in
ventor, Dayot, worked them and
planned at the same time the prom
enade that bears his name. The
city adopted these with ardor. Rev
dictionary ideas and administrators
of new departments came in 1890.
Finistere was forced to maintain
with depleted forces a fleet strong
enough to hold the sea. The vice
admiral, Villaret, engaged in COM
bat, the English fleet, in which bat
tie the vengeance" distinguished
herself by heroic action.
But at the same time, Brest was
Witnessing a tribunal of blood OPP
Grating within her walls. The 26
administrators of Finistere, who
were of the Girondist party, were
executed on the same day as sus-
poets.
