HE anctent French monarchy had fallen. The people hed rises against the court and against the nobles; had destroyed them | and had established a reign of terror. France was drunk with blood. The old order had perished. The new Government was still in @ state of chaos. And to other European nations this seemed @ good time to swoop down upon the stricken country and dismember it. The French hated Austria above all other powers, and early in 1702 France declared war upon her. Promptly Prussia and several lesser king~ doms joined Austria in @ coalition against the French. ~ The French army was in a disgraceful state. It had formerly beew officered by nobles. But now all the nobles were dead or in exfle. And, thanks to the new ideas of liberty, every private soldier considered himself as good as his Generals, In many cases the soldiery testified to this belief by flatly refusing to obey, these Generals’ orders, and in some cases by murdering the Generals themselves. It was not an army; it was a blood- thirsty,leaderiess rabble of Anarchists. Austria looked for easy victory over ft. 5 France invaded Flanders as a first move in the war, moving on Tournay. The Austrian garrison at Tournay—a mere handful of men—marched out to meet the French vanguard of 11,000. At sight of the Austrian uniforms the French soldiers threw dow, their arms and fled in panic-terror without striking-@ blow. After which, to atone for their shameful fight, they murdered their General. i; ‘The same day a French force of 10,000 happened upon an Austrian elir+:, mish party. At the first volley the French troops screamed “Nous sommes trahis!” (“We are betrayed!”) and fied, helter skelter. When they halted, at a safe distance, they put to death several of their officers. Under euch céhditions th unopposed military promena allies, more than 100,000 strong, entered France. Longwy fell at the art assault. The gates of Verdun were next opened to the invaders after a shadow of resistance, the French commandant killing himself for a! at his men’s cowardice. Meantime Dumouries, the French commander-in-chief, had been one army of 23,000 men at Valenciennes, and Kellermann had been It another into shape. ‘Dumouriez established a line of defense in the of the Argonne. The allies broke through his ling as through @ epider’s web and prepared to advance upon Paris by way of ons, with no further ob- stacle between them and their goal. They were now between the Freach army and the French capital. Dumouriez and Kellermann combined their two little armies and par- sued. The Duke of Brunswick did not want hia army's victorious march harassed by this force following it. So he halted and sent his left wing (the Prussians) to get rid of the French pursuers. The Prussians moved rapidly and skilfully, manoeuvring to take their: opponents by surprise. The French marched blindly into the trap set for them. Then tha unexpected happened. Five months of reverses had changed the French rabble into a dangers ously strong fighting machine, When, on Sept. 20, 179%, the French dis- covered the Prussians hemming them in, near the village of Valmy in North- east France, they stood their ground and didn't waver under th artillery fire of tlie Prussians, me ‘eo the French artillery got imto action and the French infantry _ pany Prussians, who had looked for another comic opera victory, were’ dumfounded, They sought by their former successful tactics to intimidate . the foe, But, instead, the Prur-!: 1 themselves wer- forced to break and run before the onslaught of tne French infantry. ‘The The Turn of French artillery silenced that of the enemy; an@ pres- the War-Tide. ently the whole Pru: tan army was in full retreat. ‘They carried everyt!ing before them.
