AFTER 1500 YEARS.

Nearly 1500" years ago there wps fought a battle which turned the? tide of a great invasion; drid that' battle was fought near Chalons; on the River Marne, the very place and the' very river by which the German invasion was turned back the other day (1500 years later^. The Runs, under Attila. over-; ran Europe to an extent to which even the German invasion has never been pushed. But- their last wave lapped out just where the German invasion of France died last week." It was tho Romans and Goths who beat the Huns near Chalons-sur-Marne in 451 A.D; The descendants of those same EOtms are fighting as allies of the Germans to-day.
