[THE WORLD’S GREAT EVENTS ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNJL ►

W »y Oodd. Mm<l a Company.) Th« Siege of Paris | ' •«*inHE price of a rat caught tn the 1 sewers and half cooked (for fuel, too. is short) is far higher than ww formerly used to pay for sprang chicken.’* This entry In the diary of one of the survivors of the siege of Purls shows the straits to which the gallant defenders of the beleaguered city were reduced for the bare necessities of life. Rats, cab horses, the wild animals in the zoo. plant roots, and eVen garbage, were utilized as food. Furniture. wainscoting and other woodwork went for fuel in that bitter wintef of IBTtXTI. while the conquering Prussians thundered at Paris’ gates, tend while the fated city’s defenders foight among themselves, starved and attempted futile sallies against the besieging foe. When Napoleon 111 was captured with MacM ah on’s army France had cast off the Imperial yoke, abolished the assembly and for the third time In eighty years had declared a republic. General Trochu. a brave man and visa soldier, was appointed military head of a hastily selected provisional government. his colleagues being Gan betta. Favre. Thiers and Simon. The city was at'once set in order to resist the advancing Prussians. But here a new difficulty arose, f arts was full of sects and factions, each at swords’ point with the others. In the first French revolution the warring factions had combined as one aguiust the advancing foreign Invasion and had repelled It. But now, in 1870. with the German army already within a few days’ march of the capital, tht>. political parties wrangled, disputed and accomplished nothing. The only point on which they united was their disgust for Napoleonism. Instead of preparing organized resistance, the chiefs of these factions Democrats? a< they were called—spent their Energies in hampering and trying to o verthrow the provisional government. Even when, on September 19. the German armies reached Paris and laid siege to the city these malcontents did not cease from their efforts to throw Torchu and his coldeagues. The German armies bombarding the city, starvation stalking abroad and i internal riots and intrigues—this -was ; the triple state of affairs confronting i Parts’ defenders. And. over and al»v* ■ all, hung the amazement and black | shame of martial France’s utter defteat 1 at the hands of her heretofore despised Prussian rival. All this was; apparently, sufficient to break the stoutest spirit. Yet. tn spite of it the Parisians fought and suffered like heroes. They endured hunger, cold and other privations, with a gay courage that watf the admiration of Europe.- They about the murderous hall of Prussian shells that scourged them dally land nightly with fire and death. They volunteered eagerly for military service. Sortie after sortie was made agqinst the stronger Prussians outside the pity; and each crushing defeat served only to Increase the warlike zeal of! th« brave defenders. [ Armies were raised in other nartr : of France to relieve the siege. I baldi himself took the field In btehalt I of the stricken land. But. one after 1 another, each of these relief armies ! was beaten back by the invading Ger- . man hosts. At last, on January 19, *lß7l. a final sally against the epemy failed. Paris could hold out no longer. Nothing was left to cat. For three weeks a bombardment of shells from every quarter had .devastated whole sections. Torehu resigned and ) the French capital surrendered. A truce (January 28) was agreed upon With the Ormans and elections were held. In thia way a new national assembly was chosen, Thiers was elected executive head of the nation, a temporary seat of government was established at Versailles, near Paris, and peace terms were discussed. I But the Social Democrats and dri *>t factions in Paris saw in this an excellent occasion to break Into active insurrection. ihey demanded that Paris be an autonomous (home-rule) city, disclaimed the acts of the government at Versailles and opened an era known as the Commune. Cemmunlsts Were by no means new in Frence. nor was thia their first active outbreak. They had been opposed to the empire. I aad now they had an equal dislike the* Thiers government. So. March 18, 1871, the horrors of a revolution q«» ln convulsed unhappy Paris. Home rule was declared and the Communists prepared to hold the city against all comers. The government tried to compromise, but failed. Then civil war broke ent, the government attacking the city, the Communists defending it A second siege of Paris began, lasting from April 2to May 21. The Communists quarreled among themselves, indulged In the wildest excesses of mob rule, burned public buildings, ordered wholesale executions, scoffed at religion, murdered the archbishop, threatened In an excess of blasphemy to swear out a warrant for the arrest of God, and in similar ways demonstrated their unfitness to exist The go rernarant troops at last forced their way into Paris. After eight days of. street fighting the Commune was stamped out ASOO of its members being killed and many thousands more imprisoned. So ended the war, the siege and ths Commune. The battered, humiliated French nation slowly began to rebuild its wrecked prosperity. The price of Napsieonlsm was paid.
