The Seattle Star Newspaper, August 6, 1914, Page 7

Born in the blaze of bat- tle 44 years ago, two great nations, France and Ger- many, are today repeating with uncanny similarity even in date and site, the conflicts of the last great European war. The war of 1870 began on August 2, with a fierce fight between German and French troops at Saar- brueck—not 80 miles from Longwy, where the first Franco-German battle of this present and most frightful of European con- flicts has just been waged, on the SAME day, Aug- ust 2! History Repeated Tn 1870, just as today, there were three chief points where the diz German armies crossed the French border. The Germans, in fact, are Mow repeating the tactics of, thelr 4 Yast war, But at that time German | victory followed German victory with terrible rapidity, and as a re @ult came the formation of the Ger man empire, with King William of Prussia as emperor. And the sue cessive defeats of Napoleon III. of France culminated in his capture and downfall, and the establishment of the French republic. The two nations thus formed are today flying at each other's throats once more, with all the vengeful —s eDAR-LE-DUC, ee are on a & 4Neg army Is advancing Into France. Note the towns of Metz and Sedan. They are the two most famous places in the Franco-Prus Showing where the Germa b=) nm war of Ne 1870, because at Sedan Emperor hostility engendered in that former Napoleon way captured after a disastrous French defeat, and at Metz Marshal Bazaine's army of 130,000 conflict whole meaning of this bloody Euro-| pean crisis of 1914, it is necessary to call to mind the dramatic history) of the struggle of 1870. Cause of Conflict Tt was caused by Prince Bis marck’s determination to place Prussia at the head of a united Germany, and by France's jealousy of her hereditary enemy's threaten- ing growth. But hostilities were ac- tually precipitated by a very trivial fncident, just as in the present war.) The French ambassador, Bene-| detti, demanded of King William of} Prussia that no prince of his line should ever accept the throne of Spain. The king refused to listen, and made public excerpts from Ben- edett!'s demand. A few days later, July 19, 1870, France formally de- clared war. Strikes Quick Blow German's “mailed fist” struck be- fore France had half a chance to} prepare herself. Germany had a| fighting force of over 520,000 men fn the field at once. The French ad confidently expected to be able) to mobilize 500,000 men instantly.) but found that only 250,000 were) available for the military move ments during August. After the first conflict at Saar Grueck, on August 2, fn which the French were victorious, there oc ‘curred a fierce attack on the Ger- man advance guard near Weissburg, {m Alsace. The French troops re tired with heavy loss. The Ger ‘man invasion rapidly. French Are Defeated In battle after battle the French $nflicted losses much heavier than their own upon the enemy, but were each time defeated. Finally, on Sep- tember 2, the French emperor and all the army under his command| were captured at at battle of Se dan. There was one army left to France, but it was bottled up in the fortified city of Metz, under the command of Marshal Bazaine, who, after a daring attempt at a sortie, {was forced to capitulate on October 2. Paris Is Captured The German troops now had an open road to Paris, and they in- vested the capital at once. The Parisians had proclaimed a repub- lic, after Napoleons downfall at Se- dan, and organized @ government for national! defense, of which Leon mbetta, the great French states- man, was one of the chiefs. Gambetta put aeronautics, which are playing so striking part in the present strife, to the first suc- cessful use in war. He escaped from beleaguered Paris in a balloon and attempted to raise more troops in the south of Franc: But this dramatic deed was vain, and by the last of Janu ary, 1871, Paris was at the point of starvation, and was forced to capitulate. The Price of Peace The amazing exactions of the vic- torious Germans, in the huge indem- nity they required, and their annex ation of Alsace-Lorraine, have never been forgotten by France. The hates and fears and alliances which sprang up throughont Europe as a direct result of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 are, together with the vengeful spirit of France, some of the most prominent causes in this terrific European conflagration of 1914.

WAR WON'T HURT GAME HERE, SAYS DUG NEW PLAYER Accept the hunch of Dug, and the battle royal which Is being staged by Promoter Kaiser Bill over in Europe, is not turning the attention of ball fans from the national pastime. “The war isn’t going to hurt us @ bit,” Dug predicted, op- timistically. “A true basebail fan wants baseball and nothing else. Of course everybody is interested in the war, but that doesn't prevent them from en- joying a ball game two or three times a week. “The only war that has hurt us is the baseball war.” oan A new face will appear in the Seattle lineup today when Roy Brashear, brother of Kitty, who formerly played in this dons a uniform and takes his place at second base. Dug grabbed Brashear after he had been re- leased from the Coast league. eee Chartey Hulen surprised himself and a big crowd of spectators last night when he trimmed Jevne, ex- world’s three-cushion champion, 200 to 132, the first time a North- westerner has ever turned the trick.
