Caprright, 1914, 67 the Prose Publishing Co, (The New York Brening World), \No. 6—BATTLE OF CHALONS, That Saved Europe From the Huns. MW had waxed great. Then it had become rich and lasy. And at Inst the topheavy, past worthy, old Roman Bmpire broke ia half from its own weight and rottenness. It was then éfvided into the Eastern and the Western Smpire. The Bastern Empire had Constantinople for its capital; the Western comprised Italy and much of the rest of urope. Bit by bit, one vassal nation after another broke free from the Western Empire or was eelged by the barbarian hordes that grew stronger as Rome grew weaker. In the middle years of the fifth century A. D. arose a new and tertible force that threatened to become a world power. That force was the.wid nation of the Hune, led by a flatnosed, ecarfaced, ewarthy giant, Attila by |mame, Attila ruled Hungary and Transylvania and, in fact, all the terri- tory from Caspian to the R Having foun@ conquest eo easy, he resolved to add the Western Roman | Bmpire to his fellm and to build an anti-Christian dynasty on the wreck | of Rome. Early in 451 A. D. he crossed the Rhine with a vast horde of savage Huns.and with Frankish tribesmen and other vassals. All Christian Europe was jagt at the invasion. Should it succeed, Christianity must be stamped out and civilization crushed, for the invaders were heathen and barbarians. i! Crossing the Rhine into what ts now France, Attila biased his way" westward with sword, fire and rapine. Priests believed he had been sent by heaven to punish sinning CWHatians. And they called him “The Scourge \ot God.” Mudh delighted with the nickname, Attila adopted it, And he scourged the stricken land harder. He bragged that the grass never grew again where once his foot had trod—a boastful way of saying that he de- wtreyed every land he invaded. Meantime, the Visigoths (whose capital city was An All-Day Toviouse) and the Romans formed an alliance against Bottle, the Huns, ané with a great army sought to oheck Attila’s march. The Romans were led by Actius, their greatest general; the Visigoths by their king, Theodorio. In the plain of Cheione Attila halted to meet his foes. He led his own centre, Theodoric was in command of the allies’ left wing and Actius of their right. Almost 200,000 men in all were engaged in the battle that followed—the battle which wae to decide the fate and faith of Europe. Attila opened the fight’ by marching his centre against the allies’ right wing, which Aetius had massed on t! pper slopes of a hill. Again and again the horde of barbariana assailed the hill. But the ground was steep and broken and Aetius was strongly intrenched. Nor, to Attila’s disgust, would the Roman allow himself to be drawn down to the plain below. Each attack on the hill was a failure. | Meantime, Theodoric had hurled his Visigoths upon the right wing of Attila’s army. The Huns opposing his atteok broke and ran, During the charge Theodoric was wounded by a javelin. He fell from his horse and Was pounded to @ pulp under the hoofs of his own cavalry. Their king’s death, instead of dispiriting the Visigoths, made them mad to avenge him. They demolished the right wing of Attila'’s amy, then furiousig turne@ upon the flank of the Huns’ centre. With the Romans in front of him and the Vii bis own camp, and in retreating vengeance-crazed Visigoths. ‘All day the battle of Chalons bad continued. And at nightfall, from heer fatigue, the slaughter ended. The allies head won the day, they had paid a feafful price for their victory. They were too Huns too strong for them to attempt to capture Attila’s fortified camp, Attila, seeing that his invasion had failed and expecting that would advance to put the finishing stroke to their ‘victory, resolved to sooner than fall into the victors’ hands. He ordered his sol @ huge funeral pyre out of wooden it in oll, Then he climbed to the top of the pyre, harem of wives around him and gave orders that the oll-soaked wood be set eblase as econ as the allies should break into his camp. But when he saw there was no further attack he ceased chanting his death song, scrambled down from his funeral pyre and led his beaten horde back toward Hungary.
