The horrors of war have always might learn something of the art of shocked the sensibilities of the aver- age person and whilst in progress its carpage and the misery and depriva- tion occasioned thereby have been uppermost in the thoughts of the general run of mankind, But as time goes on and the war is looked upon more from its historical point of view and the part it has played in the affairs of nations, the scene of a decisive battlefield becomes a place of 'ever increasing interest and fas- cination. It is then the purely per- sonal phase is lost sight of and its importance as an epoch in the world's history becomes more pronounced. One can stndy the marches and coun- ter-marches, the charges and repul- ses and the results accomplished not » much as evidences of personal ravery or individual heroism and patriotism, but rather as they may have. affected the destiny of some military chieftain or the inordinate. ambition of some imperious nation. Such a scene is Waterloo, the bat- tlefield that finally crushed the al- most untonquerable Napoleon and established ofice more the peace of Europe which he had disturbed for a decade or more. It has been the Mecea of military men who must re- cognize in the career and tactics of the great man fighting in desperation * his last battle, one of the foremost military heroes of all time, so they war and profit as much from his failure as from his successors on oth- er flelds, It is also visited by thou- sands of civilians actuated by curio- sity to see where the "Little Corpor- al" saw the last ray of hope fade away for his restoration, as well as view a battlefield which up to that time was regarded as the place of the most pivotal struggle in European history. Waterloo is about ten miles from Brussels and is reached by either steam tram or automobile. At pres- ent it is, within the German lines, al- though there has been little fighting near the field, which remains prae- tically the same as it was. before the Kaiser's men invaded Belgium. Wellington's Headquarters, In visiting the scene of the battle the first stops usually made at the Village of Waterloo, the little steam tram stopping directly in front of the building. which was used by the Duke of Wellington for a time as headquarters. It is now a restaur- ant and in order that the American traveller may understand that the tram will stop for some time at this point there is a sign on the house in English and reads "Standstill." This is directly under the French notice announcing the stopping of the train. Inside one may see the table and chairs used by the British com- mander, and it is quite the thing to drink a glass of rich milk while seat- ed at this table, A number of in- mike Locryo nor? ; ' teresting relics, too, are on. exhibi- | the fruits of her former victories and | the east and Merbaine on the west tion. Almost opposite headquarters is the celebrated Wa- terloo church, where hundreds of wounded were cared for after the battle. During the present war it has been a haven for.the refugees who fled at the approach of the Ger- man invaders. The church was res- tored in 1855, and contains a poorly executed bust of Wellington and nu- merous tablets in memory of Eng- lish officers. The scene of the actual battle is about two miles beyond the village. farm house of a ruin. It has none of the sylvan beauty of otir Gettys- burg or Chicamauga, which are park in themselves. However, the great events of the battle and its meaning terest to the country about the scene of the conflict on that memorable his hands. Promotions In the Public Schools i Ostaraqui School.

The lion was cast at Liege and was made from the metal of captured Frénch cannon.

A pumber of houses which played a part in the conflict can be seen from the mound---old ruins batter- ed by shot and shell, bearing mute evidence of the awful fight of a century ago, The Hougomont----an old chateau where the allies made such a gallant stand, is perhaps the most interesting from the fact that twelve thousand men were engaged at that point and at least half of them perished either from bullets, or | fire, as a part of the Hougomont was | burned by Napoleon's order when he | found that the French were unable to take it from the allies. The woods about it was practically. de- stroyed by cannon and later thé few remaining treed. were set fire in or- der to burn the dead bodies piled up in the orchard. Two graves are marked there, one being that of Cap- tain Blackman, who fell 'during the fight, and Sergeant Cotton, a veteran of Waterloo who died at Mont Saint Jean in 1849. It was at his request that his body rest near the Hougo- mont. that such a diminutive stronghold should have held out so long. To-day one shot from a "Busy Bertha" sev- eral miles distant would have demol- ished the whole place. Close by is a monument erected for Colonel Gor- don who was killed while carrying order from his general te the Duke of Wellington. La Hale-Sainte, the farm of the Sacred Hedge, which Marshal Ney captured from the English at the commencement of the battle, is still in a fair state of preservation, al- though the fighting around it was severe. The door of the house bears traces of numerous bullets. Several of the unfortunate defenders fled in- to the kitchen adjoining the garden. The window was and is still secured with iron bars so that all escape was cut off. Several men were shot here und others were thrown Into the kitchen well, where their bodies were found after the battle. An iron tablet bears an inscription to the memory of the officers and privates who fell in defense of the house.

It purports to record a collision which took place between the inha- bitants and the German guard at Malines, a town which has been cut off by the governor-general .from communication with the rest of Bel- gium use its inhabitants refus- ed to work in the arsenal. The statement says: "On Thursday Cardinal Mercier desired to leave Malines with a fol- lowing of a hundred persons who came into collision with the German guard. on foot to Brussels, and the com- mander of the guard asked him for his passport. It was not possible to allow him to pass with so great a crowd. One of the priests in the Cardinal's following protested again- st this action, and the Cardinal and a small number of 'his followers were allowed to pass out of the town. The nal entered a carriage that had dee sent from Brussels and went "The reason of this demonstration | was that slalines had been cut off | from railway and other vehicular communication." come through from fact that Wo. story that the collision was more serious than js allowed to ap { strongest man won.

Most of the { fighting was hand-to-hand and the One of the | severest encounters took place in the cemetery of the village church, where | many of the combatants were after- ward buried. In the town is a sort | of obelisk surmounted by a cross, { which the King of Prussia directed to | be erected to the memory of the sol- { diers killed in the battle. At the { time of the glege of Antwerp in 1832 { the French soldiers attempted to des- { troy the monument, but only suceed- ed in knocking off the cross at the | top. A few days later it was re- i placed. There is also a French me- | morial in the town--a bronze eagle {by Gerome commemorating the her- {oie attack of the French Imperial | Guard under Marshal Ney. The | monument was erected in 1904, The house which marks Napol- eon's headquarters was not in reality his headquarters, as he only stopped |in 'the yard for an hour or two to | examine some maps. A chair and table were provided him by one of the inmates of the house. These pieces of furniture are on exhibition at the house, There are few trees left on the battlefield and the greater part of it is in grain. Even the historie old elm under which the Duke of Wel- lington is said to have stood during the battle, is no longer there. As the story goes, an Englishman pur- chased it from the owner and had it cut down and shipped to England, where he had it made into enuff box- es, cigar holders and other objects which he sold at fabulous prices. On a little hill to the east is La Belle Alliane, where Wellington and Blucher met after the battle. Ac- cording to the tablet which marks thé spot Wellington, after embracing the bluff old Field Marshal said: wMatshal, you Ae the rat general 0 e world, for you have beaten Napoleon!" Not to be outdone, Blucher then answered, "The glory of this day is due first to you." After that there were more embraces and the two men parted. At the foot of the mound there is a museum, where all sorts of relics are on sale--pleces. of armor, belt buckles, bullets, sabres and parts of guns. These may or may not be authentic, but it is a well known fact | that almost every year human bones tween the French and Prussians, are dug up'on the field.
