THERE IS probably no nation that is now engaged in the great war that
would be unw illing to give a kingdom, or as much territory as would make a
kingdom, for the coming of another Napoleon
A KIMiUOM FDR A to their service. In the great days ot that al
N A PD LED N most superhuman louder France stood otF near
ly all Europe and conquered most of it. In the
period before he went to Elba he was surrounded on all sides but he struck
with the swiftness of a hawk and one after the other of the armies of his
tremendous foes felt the force of the troops inspired by his presence. It took
all Europe to conquer him even when France had been deprived ot the llower
of her manhood and his last glorious army had been destroyed by what the
Kussiatis called General January and General hebruary.
Napoleon had no such resources to draw from as either ot the combina
tions in the present struggle ami he had none of the late inventions which in
the hands of genius would have their usefulness intensified. His spirit ever
pervaded his soldiers and their confidence in him had a similar etFe< t on them
to that which wou i he exercised on a religious force which believed heaven
was on its side. Na{>oloon was to his military followers what a god was to
the warriors of old. \N ith him beside them victory was ;issure«l and death
was an honor.
For reasons such as these the coming of a Napoleon to either of the
great hosts which are now arrayed against each other might mean turning
the tide of victory where they might take it at the flood.
THE PRESENT war looks like something that is too great to last. The
whole world is affected in one way or another and the ordinary business of
life is dislocated among all peoples. Hunger has come already to the popu
lations and just previous to the war discontent had entered the souls of mil
lions of the poorer of all countries.
Will this war remove that discontent by compelling the proletariat to fight
and so remain passive in their harness or will it set ablaze the smoldering
spirit of revolt in the submerged?
It is probably safe to expect that the war will not proceed on its violent
course without awaking the violence of the civil populations and stirring up
the passions which follow the course of every great war. The French revo
lution was followed by an uprising against the men who let! it, and the
Frauco-Prussian war was followed by the Commune. War begets war and
the Lilliputian Balkan war i.> the father of the present giant. The Russian
Japanese war was followed by revolution in Russia and came very near be
ing followed by a war between the United States and the people of the mi
tiako. Such instances could be quoted almost without end for the rousing of
the war spirit is far more easy than the laying of it. In the present case
so many of the countries are engaged that militariasm has received a new
lease of life and this spirit will enter others than the soldiers themselves.
We may surely look for revolutions, but the most awful revolution of all
will come when the common people in their countless millions feel the pinch
of hunger.
