His mother was an Italian maid of honor at the French Court. The boy began life badly enough by being the youngest of @ none-too-rich father's large family. To make things worse, he was cursed with physical infirmities and defects that made him the pity and the scorn of luckier youths. Then, when he reached early manhood, came crushing blow. Eugene was military-mad. The one aim and longing of his life was to be a soldier, He dreamed ‘ f military glory. His family wanted to make 4 priest of him. But he wo their consent to let him go into the army. No sooner was this consent gained than a far worse obstacle came between Eugene and his goal. Louis XIV. was King of France. Louis hated Eugene's mother. By way of petty revenge against her he refused to allow her son to enter the French army. The King’s Prime Minister, too, hated Bugene, and he brought the young man into public disgrace. At the same time A Failure by Louis injured the fortunes of Eugene's family and dis- Royal Mandat missed the young man’s mother from her post of honor at court, gomrrrororwnrn — Hugene's career was thus ruined at the very outset. He was barred from the army and from court, Noblemen turned their backs on him when he met them. Through no fault of his own he was a failure. Not only that, but his beloved mother had been brought to humiliation on his account, France was too hot for him, He went Into exile, Few young men have had more obstinate setbacks at so edrly an age. The fawning courtiers who curried favor with their King by sneering at Bugene regarded him as one of the most laughable failures of the day. Instead of letting failure depress him into apathy, Bugene became the more determined to succeed—yes, and to win revenge against the King who had refused him a career and who had insulted his dear mother, He left France, His distant cousin was Emperor of Austria, To him the young exile now went, asking for a commission in the Austrian army The Emperor accepted Eugene's services and gave him a cavalry captainey. It was the wisest move any Austrian Emperor ever made—a move that was to change history and the map of Burope. Through reckless bravery and sheer military genius Eugene rose fast in the Austrian service, Louis heard of his rise and sought once more to disgrace him. He sent Eugene a short message, bidding him return at once to France under penalty of lifelong banishment. Eugene wrote this curt reply: “[ ghall return some day to France. But it will be at the head of an invading army Within a very few years Prince Eugene was a major general in Austria and high in the favor of the Austrian Emperor. He used his new influence to spur Austria on to an alliance against France. Louis, in alarm, offered Eugene the baton of a Marshal of France as a bribe to leave Austria's army for his own, Bugene sent back an ingulting refusal and doubled his efforts to stir up strife between France and Austria, The Failure had already begun to make good. : Austria and Turkey were at war. The Turks’ invasions threatened to engulf all the Continent, Eugene, at the head of the Austrian forces, met a far stronger Turkish army at Zentha in 1697, annihilating it and forcing the @ Sultan to sign a peace treaty, Later he besieged genre @ erade, which was defended by a Turkish force alx times j Conqueror of } as strong as his own, and, by storm, forced the city to WAR SIGNALS FLYING. | a OW THE WAR CAME TO AMERICA” is the title of an [ E was Francois Eugene, fifth son of the Prince of Savoy.

It deals with the steps of international diplomacy and German aggression that finally forced the decisive step. | Real war has not yet come to America, but it is on the way. Two signals are plainly flying—one in the air and the other on! the sea. The raid over London of last Saturday indicates the increasing : strength of German air craft. Just as their submarines developed | t rapidly in size and cruising radius, so we may expect of their aero- } planes. Reports have already come of Teutonic triplanes and fleets f of fast flying raachines. Both of these new engines of warfare were invented and } launched in America, but expanded by the Germans into formidable weapons of offensive warfare, while the Allies slowly struggle to | overcome the lead. We, still in our experimental stage of aero- } nautics, are talking of making transatlantic flights. How much more : probable it is that the first craft to cross will come from the other side or dart along our coast from some secret base.

England and France look to us for 100,000 air fighting machines, and the legislation to authorize them still is| debated. | America went into this war to overthrow Prussian militarism,’ not booze. It entered a deadly conflict, not a moral debate. When the mailed fist is challenged it is time to lay aside kid gloves and polite manners. The real fighting of the moment is being done by Russia—torn distracted, revolutionized Ru whose fate other nations we bewailing. Many prophets have proclaimed that the war will be won in the east and not in the west.

He was marching on Constantinople ttaelf ————enr?swhen the Sultan again sued for peace. At last Eugene succeeded in welding England and Austria and Holland into an alliance against Louis, He swooped down upon the French armies that held Italy and demolished them, one after another. Thence he went to Bavaria, where, in 1704, he and the Duke of Marlborough beat the French at the great Battle of Blenheim. ‘Afterward, at the head of an Invading army—as he had long ago prom- ised—he marched into France. Thirteen dangerous wounds, an avalanche of wealth and honors, and the conquest of almost half of Europe—these were some of the results of the “Failure's” half century of milltary glory, Greatest of all his rewards (to his own way of thinking) were the humbling of Louis and the avenging of the French monarch’s ill treatment of him and of his mother.
