DUBOIS 



Bombay and Madras Fusiliers. 

 They fought at Plassey, Wande- 

 wash, Seringapatam, Nundydroog, 

 and elsewhere, went to Aden 

 and Burma, and took part in 

 Mahratta and Sikh campaigns. 

 In the Indian Mutiny they marched 

 under Havelock to the relief of 

 Lucknow, and when the East India 

 Company ceased to exist became 

 regiments of the British army, the 

 102nd and 103rd. In 1881 the two 

 were united as the Royal Dublin 

 Fusiliers. 



The regiment rendered con- 

 spicuous service in the S. African 

 War. In the Great War the 2nd 

 batt. was in the Mons retreat, and 

 the 1st shared in the landing in 

 Gallipoli, April 25, 1915. The 6th 

 and 7th Dublin Fusiliers, part of 

 the 29th brigade of a new Irish 

 division raised by Kitchener, took 

 part in the later Gallipoli operation s. 

 The 8th and 9th fought in the battle 

 of the Somme, and the 10th helped 

 the naval men in the attack along 

 the Ancre, Nov., 1916. It was dis- 

 banded in 1922. 



Dublin SOCIETY, ROYAL. Irish 

 learned society. It was founded 

 in 1684 as the Dublin Philosophical 

 Society, on the model of the Royal 

 Society of London, Sir William 

 Petty being the first president. It 

 obtained a botanic garden, a mu- 

 seum, and a laboratory, but came 

 to an end in 1687. In 1693 it was 

 rcfounded, and Trinity College 

 became its home. This society, 

 too, failed to last, and in 1731 was 

 succeeded by the Dublin Society 

 for improving husbandry, manu- 

 factures, and other useful arts. In 

 1750 this was incorporated as the 

 Royal Dublin Society, and, aided 

 by grants of public money, did much 

 for Irish industries and art. It has 

 published its Transactions and Pro- 

 ceedings, and issues a journal. The 

 headquarters are at Leinster House, 

 Kildare Street, Dublin. 



Dublin UNIVERSITY. Irish uni- 

 versity, consisting of Trinity Col- 

 lege, Dublin. Founded in 1591, 

 it has always been the educa- 

 tional headquarters of Protestant 

 Ireland, and its religious tests 

 were only abolished in 1873. 

 It is governed by a chancellor, 

 senate, and council ; the executive 

 head is the provost. There are 

 senior fellows, junior fellows, and 

 scholars, and its courses resemble 

 those at Oxford and Cambridge, 

 with which Trinity is closely con- 

 nected. ^ Undergraduates, as a 

 general rule, must reside for a cer- 

 tain period in college, or in the 

 vicinity. The normal course is four 

 years : those therein being known 

 as junior freshmen, senior fresh- 

 men, junior sophisters, and senior 

 sopbisters. The buildings, which 



are entered from College Green, are 

 very extensive. Parliament Square 

 contains the chapel, dining-hall, 

 and examination hall, while in 

 Library Square is the library with a 

 priceless collection of manuscripts. 



Among the modern buildings are 

 the museum, and those for the 

 medical school. Around is the col- 

 lege park, while at Dunsink is the 

 university observatory. The col- 

 lege has also various museums 

 and laboratories, as well as botanic 

 gardens. Women have been eligi bl e 

 fop the degrees since 1903, and 

 for them there is residential ac- 

 commodation in Trinity Hall. 

 Goldsmith, Burke, and Berkeley, 

 as well as the great Irish orators 

 and statesmen, were here. In 

 the 19th century may be men- 

 tioned Lecky, Dowden, Mahaffy, 

 and Bury. There is also in 

 Dublin another university, the 

 National University of Ireland, a 

 Roman Catholic institution. 



Dubno. Town of Ukrainia, in 

 the govt. of Volhynia. It stands on 

 the Ikva, 32 m. W. of Ostrog. The 

 inhabitants, chiefly Jews, are en- 

 gaged in tanning, brick-making, 

 and tobacco manufacture. At the 

 two yearly fairs much trade is done 

 in grain, cattle, wool, and tobacco. 

 In the Middle Ages, Dubno as- 

 semblies of the Polish nobility 

 were held there. Pop. 14,000. 



Dubno, BATTLES OF. Fought 

 between the Russians and Austro- 

 Germans, 1915-16. The first phase 

 was the campaign of Aug. -Sept., 



1915, leading up to the capture of 

 Dubno by the Austrians. After the 

 fall of Kovno and Brest-Litovsk 

 in 1915, Gen. E vert's line formed 

 a large salient on the Russian 

 front, and Hindenburg designed to 

 concentrate an immense force to 

 envelop the Russian armies. 



The great blow for Dubno was 

 launched towards the end of Aug. 

 along the front from the Dniester 

 to the S. fringe of the Pripet, with 

 the result that Dubno, Brody, and 

 Lustk, and the line of the Strypa 

 river, fell to the Austrians. The 

 Russians' counter-attacks in Sept. 

 and Oct. proved unsuccessful, and 

 Dubno remained in Austrian hands. 



The second battle, June-July, 



1916, culminated in the recapture 

 of Dubno by the Russians. The 

 Russians, under Brusiloff , began ' 

 their great offensive against the 

 Austro-Germans on the S. part of 

 the E. front on June 4, 1916, at- 

 tacking on the whole front from 

 the Pripet to the Pruth, but mak- 

 ing progress mainly in Volhynia 

 and in the Bukowina. 



The Austrians, with consider- 

 able German supports, made a 

 determined effort to prevent the 

 Russians from crossing the Ikva, 



but after a swaying battle lasting 

 four days the Russians captured 

 Dubno on June 9.

 composer BornatRosnay,Marne,

Dubois, GUILLAUME (1656- 

 1723). French statesman and 

 cardinal. Born at Brive, Limousin, 

 Sept. 6, 1656, 

 he was edu- 

 cated by the 

 monks in his 

 native town, 

 and entered 

 their order. He 

 completed his 

 education at 

 Paris, where 

 a friend, An- 

 toine Faure, 

 secured for 

 him the post of tutor to the 

 prince, who became the regent, 

 Philip of Orleans. Dubois showed 

 a taste for political intrigue, and | 

 after 1715, when Philip became 

 regent, was his chief counsellor. 



The great work of the priest 

 was to reverse the traditional 

 policy of Louis XIV. He was 

 strongly hostile to Spain, and 

 brought about an alliance between 

 France and Great Britain and 

 Holland. Dubois secured the 

 archbishopric of Cambrai, and 

 was made a cardinal in 1721. He 

 remained chief minister when 

 Louis XV came of age, but almost 

 at once died at Versailles, Aug. 10,

 of the Salon, excelling in por- 

 traiture, and became keeper of the 

 Luxembourg and director of the 

 Beaux Arts. He died in Paris, 

 May 23, 1905.
