THE WORLD'S GREAT EVENTS albert payson terhune <© by Dodd. U*mA a Comp any.) Hannibal A LITTLE boy, nine years old, stood before a recking heathen altar one day in 238 B. C. end, at hts fa ther's dictation, swore a solemn oath — an oath that was destined to change the fortunes of the world and to cost The boy was Hannibal, one of the g reatest mili t a ry g e niuse s of hi sto ry. His father, Hamtlcar, was a famous Carthaginian general. His three fierce sons were known as "the Lion's Brood." Carthage, a sovereign city, whose domains extended for hundreds a half million lives. of miles, was situated on the north coast of Africa, near modern Tunis. It was settled by Phoenicians and rose to pre-eminent commercial and educa tional greatness. In 246 B. C. Car thage clashed with Rome over the possession of Sicily. This is known as the First Punic or (Phoenician) war. Rome won. Hamtlcar ma'de his nlne-year-old son, Hannibal, swear eternal enmity to Rome; then took him on a cam paign against Spain. The boy grew up in camps and, at the age of twen-' I ly-slx, was made commnnder-In-cMef | of the Carthaginian armies. His first act of power was to set about fulfill- | Ing hts childish oath. With this In view he completed the conquest of Spain, meaning to use that country as I a base of supplies in his proposed war He then picked a quarrel with | Koine's allies at Saguntum and stormed their city. This brought forth n prompt protest from the Romans, and In 219 j R. C. the Second Punic war was on. The next spring Hannlhni crossed the Pyrenees with 112,000 men and 37 war elephants, sweeping all hostile tribes with Rome. before him like chaff. Before reaching what Is now France, on his march to Italy, Hannlhni weeded out his ranks, sending back all except the bravest, hardiest men. This cut down his for mer vast army to less than 30,000. But he knew that In such a cam paign as he planned It was quality, not quantity, that counted. He crossed the Rhone, eluding the Roman army «ent to stop 1dm, arid reached the Alps. The passage of this range of mountains Involved tremendous work? The track was Impassable for his ele phants, and the snows and bitter cold chilled his Africans and Spaniards to the bone. He cleared a road, blasting rocks, it Is said, with a preparation of vinegar, and transported his whole army over into northern Italy in 15 days. I'ubllus Sclplo, the Roman consul, again barred his way, but was badly beaten In a battle near Vercelll. At this conflict the consul's seventeen year-old son, later known to history as "Sclplo Afrlcanus," fought hla first battle. The Romans, reinforced to 40,000, again attacked Hannibal and again were beaten. The Carthaginian, In the spring of 217 B. C., lured a great Roman army^lnto a trap in a mountain defile near Lake Trnslmene and mastered them. Rome, aghast at the invader's progress, chose Fablus Maximus, nicknamed "the Delayer," for general-in-chief. Fabius would risk no general engagement with his terri ble foe, but pursued a course of mas terly Inactivity that has since become I (mown in warfare as "Fabian tactics." ( After wasting northern Italy Han nibal the following spring encountered a Roman array 86,000 strong (far larger than his Own) near Cannae and literally cut It to pieces. Onward to wards the city of Rome Itself Hanni bal advanced. None dared to oppose him. He held Rome and all Italy in the hollow of his hand. The road to Rome was clear. But, Instead of con tinuing to the city itself, he foolishly went into winter quarters at Capua. •When spring came, Hannibal's great chance was gone. Rome was ready for him. His once invincible army .was now a rftssohite, overfed horde. True, for years later he ravaged Italy, once encamping within three miles of Rome and sending his skir mishing parties up to the very gates of the city. But never again did he succeed in placing the enemy wholly at his mercy. His star was on the decline. Yet even then no Roman general j dared attack him, for in all his 15 years of invasion he was never personally defeated in battle. The younger Sclplo hit on a plan to rid Italy of the terrible foe. He crossed with on army Into CÄrthngin lan territory, thus carrying the* war into Africa. Carthage, being menaced, sent in haste tor Hannibal to protect his home city, and he left Italy never to return. Hannibal, with an inferior force, met Sclplo at Kama, Africa, and tor the first Brae in hla life was beaten. This defeat ended the Second Punic war. Carthage was. tor the time, crashed. •* Hannibal turned his attention te statesmanship, with snch success that within a very few years he had built up Carthage's shattered finances and power. Rome, still dreading hlm, de manded his surrender. Sooner than Involve hts country In another war Hannibal voluntarily went into exile But wherever be went Rome's hatred panned him. * At last brought to bay and knowing what treatment he mlgfit expect too» the releétiees Romans, Hannibal sacked poison from a ring he always won, and once more baffled hla Uto tong toes by dying before they could etpcvr* him j" : ■* Feast ed orr Giant Catfish Some of the employees of a chair company near Owensboro, Ky, had a feast of catfish at their homes, after a 80-ponnd fish was found swlm ming about In a small pool of water In a hollow log. taken from Green river to the chair factory to be sawed Into chair --stock.
