Spencer, Prop, * West McHenry, IUinoig (O by Do4d. Mud A Compujr.) Napoleon Bonaparte (Part III) CH)R years Europe crouched crtef- " lng and helpless at Napoleon's feet. The British bulldog snarled unconquered defiance and the Man of Destiny was wise enough to leave Great Britain alone. So England continued to stand as the one obstacle between the Corslcan and the rule of the whole world. Yet Europe, though cowed, waited patiently for a chance to avenge itself of Its tyrant. And that chance came In 1812. Russia broke certain clauses In her treaty with France, and In May, 1812, Napoleon declared war on her. With 700,000 men he began his invasion. Barely 800,000 Russians opposed the advancing French hosts, but th^ir tactics were unexpected. Avoiding a general engagement wherever possible, the Russians continually fell back before Napoleon's advance, wasting the country they passed through so that the pursuing French found neither provisions nor fuel. Now and then--at Borodino and elsewhere--the French caught up with their fleeing enemies and won decisive victories, though at great cost Following out tactics similar to those he had used successfully against Prussia and Austria, Napoleon struck straight at Russia's heart by marching on Moscow. He arrived there on September 15, to find the city deserted and in flames. The patriotic Russians had sacrificed home, property and wealth tn order to block the advance and mar the conquest of their hated fte. Napoleon could pursue the retreating patriots no further over a desolate territory. His mighty army of 700,000 had dwindled to 120,000. So he ordered a retreat. The merciless northern winter was setting in. The country was stripped of provisions. Bands of mounted Cossacks harassed the diseased, starving, half-frozen soldiers. Of all the vast army of Invasion barely 25,000 reached France alive. Napoleon had, long before this, left his army, hurried to Paris and ordered a conscription of recruits to press the war. But his luck was gone. The "chance" for which ten beaten nations had waited 89 long had at last come. The climber had stumbled. The Invincible general had been beaten. France's unbroken triumph had been turned Into defeat. All Europe was roused. The Russian disaster had proven that Napoleon was only mortal. His name lost Its terror. An alliance was formed by Russia, England, Prussia, Sweden and Spain, and In 1818 they massed an army near the Elbe. Napoleon had 850,000 soldiers in Oermany. For months he beat the allies In battle after battle, and at last forced them to a truce. They took advantage of this armistice to persuade Austria to Join their league. Then at the truce's tod, the united armies concentrated at Dresden. There he again routed them. But Napoleon's army was so weakened by the campaign that he was forced to fall back on Lelpslc, where the allies hemmed him in. And there, In October, 1818, "the Battle of the Nations" was fought Napoleon was beaten. Refusing to see that his star had set, he returned to Paris and ordered 800,000 recruit# raised. The allies entered France, and there a second campaign--this time on French soil--was waged. From January to March, 1814, Napoleon once more beat the Invaders at very point. But Wellington, with an English army, was advancing on Paris from the south, and force of numbers proved too much for the Corslcan. The veterans who had won him so many victories were dead. Their places were taken by raw recruits. His best generals, too, were gone. The men to whom his name had been a slogan of success were replaced by a generation weary of war. On March 80 Paris was captured by the allies, and the populace hailed the Invading armies as deliverers. Talleyrand, Fouche and other diplomats made great by Napoleon, deserted him and went over to the enemy. France was worn out. For 17 years Napoleon had paralysed trade and home life by dragging off to war the young men of the nation. Taxes had been heavy. Coming as It did on top of the horrors of the revolution, ^apoleon's rule had nearly wrecked the country. For over a decade he had turned all Europe Into an armed camp; had changed pastures into battle fields; had sacked and devastated populous districts, and slain hundreds of thousands of men who should have been helping their countries' progress. With Iron hand he had swayed the destinies of the con tinent, changed its map and crushed patriotism and national Independence everywhere save in France. Europe loathed him. France was tired of him and tired of fighting. The emperor bad sense enough to see this, and abdicated in favor of his son. This compromise the allies would not accept They packed their former conqueror off to exile on the -islanTT of-BIba and installed Louis Xvni (younger brother of the beheaded Louis XVI) on the French throne. Then Europe rested from Its long era of terror and bloodshed. j!*ut the respite was brief. The ^tSuoat dramatic events in the Corslcan's career were still to be enacted. Vacation Code A code of ethics for vacationists has been framed by the Izaak Walton League of America, an organization of lovers of the open. It urges respect for property, cart not to disfigure or displace natural rosottrces a»d regard for the rights of others to enjoy the beauty of the countryside. Travelers who truly appreciate nature's charming gifts need no such reminders. Others do. Traces of those others are commonly found now in the leavings of crumpled, greasy newspapers, boxes, empty cans and bottles, egg shells and remains of fruit and sandwiches--unsightly testimony to the recent presence of wayside picnic parties and their boorish disregard for property as well as the right of the more considerate to view nature undefiled. ^ Of the nations besides car own represented in Columbia university, according to an Item In the Spectator, China, with 147 students, is represented by the largest number. And surely this Is a highly Important piece of Information for those who would understand what is going on in China today. For the fighting, the unrest, the steady growth of a nationalist spirit, It Is customary to assign political causes. And no doubt In a proximate sense there are political causes. But one of the basic causes, It Is obvious, Is that China is getting educated. And the United States by its hospitality to Chinese students Is providing a large part of the education. This will be a pleasing topic for meditation by the next company of marines detailed as a legation guard in China. Next in order for transatlantic serf- Ice appears to be the flying boat. Both the English and Germans are experimenting with heavler-than-alr craft, capable of sustained flight and also sufficiently seaworthy to remain afloat, if forced down. One experimental craft, now on Lake Constance, is intended for a crew of nine and fifty passengers. The world has come to the conclusion that a truly successful transatlantic airplane must be ducklike, or gull-like, in the matter of riding those rollers until it can use its wireless effectively. The Ideal hy-' dro-alrplane will be able not only to alight on the ocean and ride there, but to get up and go when the fog lifts. Dr. J. M. Dodson, former dean of the school of medicine of 'the University of Chicago, has recently completed a study of longevity according to occupational classes. The life span of the average citizen, he finds, is approximately 47 years. The coal miner, whose occupation is generally considered extra hazardous, may expect to live 51.8 years, and the doctor, whose hours are long and Irregular and who Is exposed to contagious disease, may expect to live 62 years. The bookkeeper, on the other hand, who lives a sheltered, regular, routine lite, has an average span of but 36.5 years. Apparently boredom ahd monotony have more to do with cutting the life span than occupational hazard. People in all classes lead much fuller lives than were lived half a century ago. Money is spent with far greater freedom, and the idea that all expenditure on objects and purposes outside the category of necessaries is unprofitable and wasteful Is gone forever. This is an age of rapidly Improving standards of life, and within reasonable limits--which no one can strictly define because the circumstances of Individuals vary so widelylarger'and freer outlook can be Justified on a score of counts. An endurance contest really worth while was that put on recently by a farmer near Tainerac, Minn., who plowed for 110 hours straight with a tractor and two plows, and in that 110 hours turned the sod of 60 acres of prairie land. This Is commendable, all right--but what a pace and example to set for the hired man. •'MS W. ••#•••$ OLDESS OP "What's this thing, dear?" "It's a pawn ticket."
