A GLANCE AT THE PAST.
Bnfkles IN EMrone


AS matter of interest, at present, we give the
following result of desperate battles fought in
Europe since 1912:
On the heights, four miles from Salamanca in
Spain, the English and Spaniards under Wellington,
totally defeated the French under Marmont on the
I'D July, 1872. The allies lost $500 men, and
the French 10000.
at the battle of Smolenski. In Russia, in 1912,
the French loss was 1900 and that of the
Russians 10000.
At Borodino on the 7th September, was fought
desperate battle between the Russians and
French. The French lost in killed, wounded and
prisoners, $4,000; and the Russians about the same
number. The survivors of the French army, from
the Russian campaign, were not more than 35 900
out of an army of 500 600 men.
At Lutzen, in Russian Saxony on the I'd of May,
1913, the allied Russian and Prussan forces were
defeated by the French under Napoleon, the
French losing $4,000 and the allies 15 900 men,
At Bautzen, i'll Saxony, on the 2lst and 22d
May, 1913, battle took place between the allies
and the French, in which the French loss was put
down at 25,O0O men, and that of the allies $4,000
At Dresden, In Saxony, on the 2Gth and 9th
August, 1875 the allies were defeated by the
French. The loss of the allies was about %, 600
killed. wounded and prisoners, and that of the
French about l2,000
At Leipsic, in Saxony, in October, 1913, a
desperate battle was fought, which lasted three
days, and the French were totally defeated by the
allies Napoleon lost two marshals twenty generals
and 10000 men. The allies lost ,790 officers and
about 40, 900 men,
At Victoria, in Spain, on the 21st June, 1913,
the English and French fought battle, in which
the French lost 1000 and the English $3.50.
At Toulouse, in France, Wellington defeated
the French under SOuIt, on the 10th April 1874
The French loss was 1900; allied army's loss
/, $50 men.
At Ligny, in France, battle occurred between
the Prussians and French on the 10th June, 1915
two days before the battle of Waterloo, in which
the Prussans lost $4,000 men, and the French
$500.
In the indecsive battle at Quatre Brass in
Belgium, on the 10th of June, the day before tha.
of Waterloo, the allies lost $500 men, and the
French ia.
At Waterloo the total loss of the allies was
1866 men. Napoleon's was about 10000.
Neither the Austrians nor the Prussians can
derive much encouragement from history to engage
in a war with France. The French troops have
only been matched in these wars by the English,
the Spaniards and the Russians-scarccly by the
last named.
