MDDM 65 Zsusza

[Samuel Moyer]

631.8  "The half who aren't past themselves over that Zsusza...?" adds Dixon.

535.29  She is bunking with Zsuzsa Szabo, the operator of the automatick Battle of Leuthen, a pleasant looking young woman who, wearing the dress uniform of the Nadasy Hussars, had one day, astride a splendid Arab Horse, overtaken the Party.  "Hello, Boys, - it's Zsusaz." She has a charmingly un-English way of saying this. Axmen arrest their swings, so violently that Axes stand still in the Air, their Recoils sending some of the axmen the a-whirl the other way, - Indians crouch'd in the Brush gaze, and marvel at how she's painted her face, the Milk-maids whisper together at length.....

Battle of Leuthen ... battle of the Seven Year's War This was the last battles of 1757. http://www.military-prints.com/frederick_the_great.htm   
I have no idea what is meant by Automatick Battle of Leuthen...

Thanks Rob for supplemental posts on Zhang...  Fountain of Youth, etc..  I'm way behind this weekend, but I want to get this and one other off to the list before we get on to 66 today.
