one, to fortify Moscow, gather all the
provisions possible, and remain there
during the winter. The second was to
retreat direct to Germany as quickly as
possible; the third, to go south to the
fertile province of Kalouga, and there
winter in the midst Of plenty.
The third was adopted. The army set
forth with strength Of less than one
half of that with which it had entered
Russia, and starting to the south, found
the Russians had anticipated the move
ment, and that Kotusoff was there with
all his forces. At Malo Jaroslavitz
a terrible battle was fought the Rus
SLAMS were defeated, but as they still
showed formidable front, Napoleon de-
termined to retreat along the line of his
advance and make the best of his way
back to the Niemen.
Then began the most disastrous
movement of body of troops ever seen
in modern times, and yet distinguished
at almost every turn by a brilliancy Of
generalship that has few equals. After
leaving Smolensk, Ney was cut off from
the main body, and his division was sup
posed to be lost, but by incredible efforts
and a superhuman display Of bravery he
rescued his command and rejoined Ma
polecn on the Beresina. A winter of I'M
usual severity had set in, and in few
days the grand army became mass of
starving humanity. Horses died by

A VICTIM OF THE FAMINE.

thousands of starvation and cold; men
persisted like flies. Most were from the
south Of Europe; all were in their sum-
nl1f uniforms, and were utterly unpre-
pared for the cold of an arctic winter.
There were no overcoats; the baggage
wagons were all left behind; no stores
could be saved; there were no provis-
ions, no medicines; the well could not
help the sick; the wounded were left to
die As the cold grew more severe
deaths by wholesale occurred; as
the famine grew worse bits of horse
flesh became luxuries; handfuls of
burned corn snatched from the
ruined stores were dainties. On
the arrival of the army ION the
Beresina, about half way back on the
road to Germany, all hope seemed to be
taken away. Napoleon had less than
$4,000 effective troops and over 20 900
stragglers, suffers, camp followers, for
eli ners in Russia who preferred to fol-
low the French army, runaway serfs,
soldiers who had lost their arms, women,
children, wounded and crippled. He had
no artillery, no cavalry.s The opposite
side of the river was held by the Rus
SLAMS, numbering over 40 900 men, with
an abundance of artillery and many
thousands of Cossack cavalry. At his
rear lowered cloud of savage horse
men, while a division OF the Russian
army was in close pursuit. Never did
the genius of Napoleon appear to better
advantage. He made preparations for
the worst. All the useless baggage
wagons were destroyed; the eagles OF
all the regiments were collected and
burned; he cast into the flames all his
own private papers and memoranda. The
officers who had been able to save their
horses he organized into band called
the Sacred Squadron" Colonies.
majors and generals acted as private
captains, and marshals of France acted
as non-commissioned officers and cap
tains. Napoleon took every means to
deceive the enemy; bodies OF troops
were dispatched down the river as
though he intended to force a passage
at ford some distance lower down.
While Kotusoff was thus deceived, the
engineers were set to work at night to
build a bridge. Incredible were the diff
ficuties under which they labored. There
were no proper tools, there was no lum-
Der, even nails were lacking, the river
was full of floating ice, which impeded

the efforts of the workers.. OF the 107
engineers who, through that long and
terrible night, Iabored from waist deep
to neck deep in water, only fivesurvived;
but by daylight the bridge was done.
The effective troops passed over, took
possession Of the heights on the opposite
side, and the host of stragglers began to
follow. But the deceived Russians now
returned, and established their ar
tillery where it was beyond the reach of
the French, and began firing on the
bridge. The most awful destruction en-
sued. The advancing Cossacks, crowd
ing on the swarms of unarmed fugitiyes,
cut them down without mercy; the ar

tillery played upon them as they crossed
the bridge, and, as the regular forces Of
Russians advanced, orders were given
to set the bridge on fire. 1t was done
while some thousands of the French
fugitives were still on the further side
of the river. In wild despair, some at
tempted to escape by swimming, others
by rushing through the flames In the
spring $4,000 dead bodies were drawn
from the Beresina and burned on its
banks. The Russians never ventured
another attack, but lowered round the
shattered remnants of the Grand Army,
cutting off stragglers, and from safe
distance playing on the retreating
columns with their artillery, to which no
reply could be made.
The cold became extreme. The winter
was one of the severest known in
Russia. The thermometer sunk to ~
degrees below zero. The retreat be-
came rout. All organization was lost.
Hunger made all equal, and all persisted
alike. In the morning ring OF corpses
round the emberS of an eXtingulShed
fire indicated the bivouac of the preced-
ing evening. Packs of wolves, fiocks Of
crows, vultures and other birds of prey
followed the line of march to feed on the
DOQloS OF the OettO. N unSTOuS INSTANCES
of cannibalism occurred. the miserable
survivors eating the flesh of their de-
parted comrades.
Exclusive Of those left at various
points to maintain line of communica-
ton, the number of men in the French
army which actually marched into the
heart Of Russia was estimated at 500, 900.
OF these, 100000 were killed in battle
or wounded and persisted in the field or
in hospital, 100, 900 were taken prisoners
and died in the Siberian mines, while
nearly $50, 900 more died of famine or of
exposure and cold during the terrible re-
treat. Never was ruin more complete.
Immense as were the losses of the
French, those of the Russians were far
greater The mortality in battle vastly
exceeded that of the French, and the
deaths from hunger we've innumerable.
During the advance of the French, the
Cossacks, as already stated, burned the
cities and towns, and devastated the
country, in order that the invaders
might tell the story. During the retreat
the French burned everything behind
them to prevent pursuit. Over 800 cities
and villages were thus totally destroyed
in the late summer, fall and early winter,
and it was computed that 100000 peo-
pie, inhabitants of Russia, were rendered
homeless and destitute. Half a dozen

cease with driving off the population of
the country districts and destroying
houses, barns, and crops. The towns
were no more spared than the rural dis
tricts. Between the Niemen and Mos
COW the fiourishing towns Of Wilma,
Sventziani, Utchatch, Kamen, Vitebsk,
Smolensk, Valentino, Jarkovo, Jemlevo.
Tertaki, Besoyka, with over a hundred
villages, were ruthlessly depopulated and
set on fire.
Only twice did the Russians venture
to oppose Napoleon between the Nienen
and the capital. Urged by the remon-
strances of the inhabitants Of Smo1ensk,
city deemed by the Russians almost as
holy as Moscow, the Russian commander
made stand almost before it's gates,
and was defeated with terrible slaughter.
Then again, at the command Of his inn
perial master, who forbade him to give
up Moscow without striking a blow in
it's defense, Kotusoff made a stand on the
Moskwa at the little village of Borodino,
where was fought one of the greatest
battles of history. Terrible was the loss
of DC, 600 in killed and wounded, the lat
ter dying, almost to man, from neglect,
while the most authentic accounts make

ton to this terrible slaughter they were
driven in headlong rout from the field.
Kotusoff intended to fight another battle,
but the French coming upon him before
he could rally, drove him back, and with
furled colors and silent drums he march
ed through the capital, the rear-guard
following, and driving out the popula-
ton of over 1900 This evacuation
of the capital has been represented as
spontaneous, but in view Of the we'll
known methods pursued by the Russians
at other points during the campaign, it
seems altogether improbable that great
city would be abandoned by it's entire
population with such precipitation that
large quantities Of the most valuable
property were left without the slightest
apparent effort at preservation. AS the
commander Of the rear guard prepared
to evacuate the city, he released all the
prisoners in the various jails and houses
of detention, and, bringing them before
him. promised them freedom and large
rewards if they would set the city on
fire during the French occupation. The
day after the Russian evacuation the
French moved in; Napoleon passed

died of privation, and the same
proportion was true of other
places. It was computed that from
battle, famine, cold and exposure during
that awful winter no less than 1,000,000
persisted. But the winter of 1928 did
not close the terrible scene. The re-
sources of Napoleon were not exhausted
He hurried home to raise another army
and renew the war. To oppose him a
merciless conscription was ordered in
Russia to obtain troops. The heads Of
families were taken away, only sons did
not escape, and during the following
season no crops were sown in the deVas
tated country. The famine continued.
There were no relief committees in those
days; there were no railroads, no contri
buttons from the benevolent Of Europe,
for Europe was still busy with the war.
Masses of dead bodies on the Beresina,
before SmOlensk, on the Moskwa near
Borodino, and along the line of retreat,
brought peSti1ence in its worst form.
Thousands of Russian peasaatry died;
just how many there are no means Of
knowing, but it is computed that in the
years 1912, 1873 and 1914, i'll consequence
of the French invasion and it's result
ing woes, over 100000 Russians per-
ished.
Such a calamity has no parallel in
Europe or Western Asia since the days
of Tamerlane and Genghis Khan, and
the fact that the Russians look from
their present misfortune back to the
starving years" Of the French invasion
sufficiently indicates the nature and ex-
tent Of the present terrible misfortune

III the government of Smolensk the
peasants lived during the year OH bread
MADE partly Of rye and partly of tbe
husks OF rye, often eaten with the worm
eaten bark of the oak or the pine which
stills without satisfying the cravings of
hunger.
The evil is undeniably chronic: the
symptoms are always the same. and the
descriptions of them published ten or
nIty years ago might be served up afresh
to-day or next year as faithful photo
graphs OF the life in death of millions Of
RUSSIAN Christians. The Cars have
peen aware of it for centuries and have
zone all that they could be expected to
DO TO prepare for it. The district now
aHected extends from Odessa on the
shores OF the Black Sea through Little
Russia, athwart the rich black loan
country celebrated for it's marvellous
fertility, straight through the country
watered by the Volga, across the Urals
growing wider and wider till it reaches
Iobolsk; in other words, it covers a
tract OF land 5000 miles long and from
800 to 600 miles broad, which supports
a population OF only forty millions.
The terrible suffering now being ex-
perlenced recalls, it is said, to the UNI
fortunate inhabitants of that stricken
country the historic days in the early
part OF this century, when a famine, the
worst Of ALL prevailed for three years.
Then, as now, according to the Globe
Democrat, the central districts Of the
empire We're devastated, and to the ter
rors OF famine and pestilence were added
the horrors of war in it's most savage
form. The occasion of this former Wis
itation was the invasion of Russia by
Napoleon and the French, an invasion
which, in destructiveness Of human life,
has few parallels in ancient or modern
times.
AS to the justice of the war waged by
Napoleon against the mighty power of
the North there always has been and
always will be difference of opinion,
for certainly there was provocation
enough on both sides. Napoleon
thought that the power of Russia should
be curbed; he preferred to wage the war
in person, so between the years 1910
and 1912 he made preparations for the
most stupendous military operation he
had ever undertaken.
