could contemplate nothing more than
a battle to sustain the honor of his

with Vinoy. whose corps was concen
trating at Meieres. a
To the east there was a strong pool- (
tion. where the Fond du Glvonne pre- d
sented serious obstacle to the German ,
infantry. However. MacbMahon ignored 'a
It. The German host came on in two;c
c.olunt.s, with only a weak cavalry -

a warm reception that they were com
pletely discncerted. About six in the
morning the heavy night fog lifted.
whereuponl the German artillery came
violently into action. One of the first
shells wounded MacM:ahon. General I
Ducrot took over the command.
Now it happened that there was
with the army General Wimpffen. who
had only arrived from Algiers on the
night of August 30. and who had In
his Iw'ket a secret commission. au
thorizing him to assume command in
event of the death or disabnlement of
MacMahon. No one save WimIffen
knew of this. He was new to the
troops and new to this thenter of war.
Therefore he hesitated to displace Dnu
crot. waitino until nine ,o'clock. when,
perceiving that Puerot intended to re
treat toward the west. and convinced
that salvation lay only in moving east
ward toward Metz and the army of
Bazalne. he produced his papers and
took charge. As a result there fol
lowed dire confusion. a good part of
the army already having begun the ex
ecttton of Ducrot's orders.
Northward of B-zeilles the French
were withdrawing. so that the Saxons
swept easily over the ridge south of the
ivonne-Sedan road. This cut off the
retreat of Vnssoline's gallant fighters,.
who fell Into the hands of the Germans
an hour before noon.
At about the same time the Ger
man Guard corps began to form up be
tween Dalcny and Givonne. when sud
denly a great column of French Infan
try. 6.000 strong. obeying Wimpffen's
orders of mtovement. came over the
eastern border of the valley and
charged at full speed for the guns.
There followed what was probably
the most dramatic spectacle of the war.
for tihe whole of the corps artillery of
the Guard turned upon these devoted
men, tearing the column in half and
almost annihilating it. The head of
the column. 2.000 strong. struggled des
perately on, but coming under flanking
fire from both cannon and rifles. It fair
ly dissolved before the German eyes.
n Another detachment of the invaders
r crossed the river at Doncherey. driving
back the French outposts to the south
of the Illy road so easily that the Ger
man artillery became recklessly ex
posed. Perceiving this and acting In
a stantly. O( meral de Gallifet-"Old Sll

e hecause of the silver plate which re
s placed a part of his skull--rushed up
his brigade of Chaseurs d'Afrque and
hurled a most dashing charge against
Sthe batteries. Galllfet might have ac
d complished something here, but he was
utterly unsupported, and could not
hold his advantage. He fell back with
Mis hard-punished horse behind the
s Cazal-lly ridge.

Prior to Napoleon's 1812 campaign.

magnificent in courage and so effective
they proved to the experts that the
day of charging by cavahly to mass had
not yet ended.
When Galllfet's horse were exhaust

a charge which extended over a front
of almost two miles. Wimpffen, In a
desperate counter stroke, cleared the
Gernmans out of Razeilles and lBalan.

seemed open. What Wimpffen did not

the emperor and implore him to put
himself at the head of all available
re-enforcemernts. Wlmpffen was aston

from the church tower. The emperor,
who during the early hours of the fight
ing had exposed himself fearlessly to
death, had been overcome by physical
pain and exhaustion, had abandoned
hope and had offered his personal sur

same time ordering the white flag to
be hoisted.
It was torn down at the moment of
its appearance by Colonel Fauve. but
it went up again a short time later
when the Prussians were battering at
the western gate. It remained for
Wlmpffen only to make terms for the

can't possibly get too much fresh air.
The very fact that people say their
houses are damp and chilly shows that
~ .e windows have not been open
. enough, says a prominent health au

Damp houses come from not having
enough air to dry them out. Even on
the rainy days it were better to open
