He hoped to raareb out f Metz at tho head ol 150,000 men, the cream of the Freooh army, and make tho pu'blio believc liim a tiero. Aftor B;Waiiio was drivcn into Mutz, on the Ï9th of August, I19 could have escaped, Üad ho marebed boldly out with bis entiro army.

He never made a serious effort to escape fiom Sletz Eveiy sortie was only a pretended sortie, Íot appcarauce nnd notbing else. There " were four high offiaers at Metz besides Bazaine. Tbey were al for iuactiou. I saw all the military nianeuvers. They were allshams. Bazaine and h:s friends were not acting os soldiarg, but ouly eeking their own future.
