France’s Indemnity To Germany
SU11 Rankles.
For forty-five years the guid
ing principle of French states
manship has been embodied in
the maxim that Germany’s ex
tremity would be France’s op
portunity. Has that hour ar
rived? Events seem to show
that France believes it has.
The German empire and the
French republic were born to
gether in the smoke and flame
of the terrible battle of Sedan.
There the French empire went
down with the fortune of the
last Napoleon, and there the
mighty Bismarck laid the steps
of the kaiser’s throne.
The Franco-Prussian war of
1870 was one of the most swift
and terrible in history Louis
Napoleon, seeking to steady his
unstable throne by keeping alive
the traditions of the great mili
tary empire of the first Napo
leon, had hurled his challenge at
Prussia. The immediate pre
text was the candidacy of a Hoh
enzollern prince for the vacant
Spanish throne. Prussia, seek
ing the unification of Germany,
welcomed the contest and struck '
with a suddenness that blinded
and dazed the imperial govern
ment at Paris.
By rapid and simultaneous
movements the Prussians crum
pled the two wings of the French
army mobilized on the Alsatian
frontier, defeating them in the
sanguinary battles of YVeissen
burg, Worth and Spichern.
Marshal McMahon and Marshal
Bazaine, commanding the two
French armies, attempted to
form a junction and retreat to
the Moselle, but Prince Freder
ick Charles, commanding the
Prussian advance, defeated the
execution of the plan and drove
Bazaine back upon Grazelotte,
where, on August 18, 1870, took
place the decisive battle of that
name the second only of impor
tance in the war. The Prussians
had 200,000 men and the French
130,000. In nine hours of car
nage, in which the Germans lost
20,000 men, and the French 13,
000, Bazaine was utterly routed
and forced back upon Metz,
where he was quickly surround
ed and bottled up by the victo
rious Prussians
With Bazaine shut up within,
his fortifications and McMahon
held in check, four German ar
mies converged swiftly upon
Paris. Napoleon III., who had
remained in his capital confi
dently expecting the news that
his marshals had invested Ber
lin, hurriedly apponted as re
gent the Empress Eugenie (the
same who now, an aged woman,

is living out her sorrowful years
in English exile), raised a fresh
army and set out to relieve Ba
zaine. Joining McMahon, the
emperor met the advancing
Prussian hosts at Sedan, where
on September 2, only forty-four j
days after the declaration of
war, was fought the Waterloo
of the second French empire
The emperor was overwhelm- j
ingly defeated, and personally
surrendered with his entire ar
! my of 83,000 men.
Two days after the disaster
at Sedan the republic was pro
claimed, and on September 19
the Prussians had invested Pa
ris and the siege began- The ,
; history of that siege is a sepa
rate phase of the war. To it
J belongs the terrible scenes of the
j commune the escape of Gam
jzatta from the capital in a bal
loon and his attempt to raise a
| relieving force and the desperate '
[bombardments and sorties of
the investing and beleagured 1
'forces that make one of the
| darkest pictures in modern war.
j Before Paris capitulated in Jan-1
uary, 1871, Bazaine had surren-;
dered Metz with 175,000 men; !
Strassburg fell and the scatter
ed French armies were every
vvnere overwneimeu oz urivu lu
flight. I
Already ten days before Paris
rendered, the German empire
had been proclaimed at Versail
les and William I was crowned
emperor in the halls of the
Bourbons. A month later, with
German troops camped in the
boulevards of Paris, France e
lected the first president of the
present republic. It was this
new government that accepted
the terms of peace which have
ever since kept the fires of re- (
venge burning in the hearts of
Frenchmen. The German speak- j
ing par of the province of Lor- j
raine was given up, with the '
cities of Metz and Thionville;
Alsace was surrendered with the
city of Strassburg—that city
whose statue in Paris has ever '
:nce been draped in mourning.
And finally, France paid to her
conqueror one billion dollars,
and consented that German ’
troops should remain on her >
soil until it was paid. \
Such was the last struggle be- |
tween France and Germany, and
such wrere its results, France ^
swrallowed the bitter dose and .
bided her time. Has that time i
come?—Kansas City Star.
