LEAN little man with a jutting beak of a nose (and who wore & mountainous wig and high-heeled shoes to make him look taller) dreamed of world conquest. And he came perilously close to putting his dream {nto effect. He was Louls XIV. King of | France. One battle wrecked forever his plane of universal power—the battle of Blenheim. 4 For more than forty years Louis's armies and Louis's diplomacy had been terrorizing Europe. Then, in 1701, King William III. of England formed @ “Grand Alliance” against him, This alliance included England, Austria, Prussia and several lesser nations, William died before the Alt» ance could do any effective Work. But his successor, Queen Apne, con~ tinued the enterpr!

M, on Aug. 13 the battle of Blenheim began with the charge of an English column upon Blenheim village. The attack was repulsed, the leading English brigade losing one-third of its men, A second charge was also beaten back. Then, at the head of his cavalry, Marlborough led the attack in person. ‘This third assault was successful, and it cleared the way for the Allies te cross the Nebel. Prince Eugene and his Austrians meantime were barely holding their own to the far right against Marsin’s Bavarian troops. In fact, but for the valor of his Prussian infantry Eugene would have been defeated. The ag- gressive was thus left wholly to the English.

Hundreds of fugitives were driven into the Danube and drowned. Thousands more were surrounded and forced to yield. Marsin, seeing the fate of the French, fell back before Prince Eugene's attack.
