Not for nothing had Haussmann built broad, perfectly straight avenues to break up the swarming tortuous neighborhoods, the breeding grounds for mystery and for the feuilleton, the secret gardens of popular conspiracy." Jean Cassou, " La Semaine sanglante," Vendredi, May 22, 1936. [k3,1] Engels and the Commune: " As long as the central committee of the Garde Nationale was directing the military operations, he remained hopeful. It was doubtless he who gave the advice which Marx transmitted to Paris: 'to fortify the northern slopes of Montmartre, the Prussian side.' He feared that, othenvise, the uprising would land in a mousetrap.' But the Commune failed to heed tIns warning and, as Engels regretfully confirmed, let the right moment for the offensive slip past. . .. Initially, Engels believed that the struggle would drag on . . . . In the General Council, he emphasized . .. that the Parisian workers were better organized militarily than in any earlier rebellion; that the street widening undertaken during the administration of Napoleon HI would necessarily work to their advantage, should the assault on the city succeed; that for the first time, the harricades would be defended by cannons and regularly organized troops."
