 horrors of the Campaign of Russia.
 The remnants of the Grand Army find refuge in Konigsberg. Napoleon, after Moscow, had taken to sledge, and had sped across the snow covered wastes of Poland on his wav to Paris.

 As soon as it was known that the Grand Army was under the snows of Russia, there were asns of upheaval though all the borders Of the West. The Germanic States were first to profit by the disasters of the French. Frederick
 William gave his hand to the Car There was a revolt in Hamburg The Confederation of the Rhine began to fall to pieces. Alexander sent an army to Berlin; Napoleon must guard his east ern frontier or perish.
 The turmoil of 1913 began on the 2nd of May with the battle of Lutzen.
 Within credible speed Napoleon had planted his new armies on a line ex- tending from Lubee to Venice. At Lut- zen the French were victorious. Fred eriek William, Alexander, and Napo- leon were once more on the same field On the 21st of May, the Emperor hurl- ed 125, 900 men on the allies at Baut- zen, and won another victory Dayout a1 faU s.t.a that place for it's defeetion. Napoleon held Dresden in one hand and routed the allies with the other until all his antagonists were glad to accept an ar mistiee They agreed to convene at Prague for making treaty of peace.
 But secretly, ill the interim, the Car and Frederick William. aided by Eng. land, constructed the Fifth Coalition. Austria and Saxony were won over to the league. The father of Maria Louisa per1diously entered the lists against her husband. On the 18th of August, after the truce had expired. the Emperor met the Prussians and Russians at Dresden, and gained another victory But his enemies were only beaten-not over whelmed.
 The war in other parts of the field bore hardly on the French. At Gross beeren the allies defeated Oudinot, and on the 26th of August, the battle of Katsbaeh was won by Butcher over Mac donald, who suffered heavy losses in men and guns. Bernadotte, who had re- nouneed the Emperor, came down against Ney at Dennewitz, and there, on the 9th of September, disastreusly defeated him. The allies concentrated in great force on Leipsio, and on the 16th of October were beaten there by Bona parte. Yainly he sought to open nego- tiations. The second battle of Leipsie was fought on the 18th of the month terrible conflict in which Napoleon was forced from the field. The city was taken; the bridges blown up; and Ponia- towsky drowned ill the Elster
 The French, hard pressed, were obliged to fall back from the frontier of Germany. In November, Napoleon reached Paris. He sought in all possible ways to conclude peace. but also exert ed himself during the winter to prepare for the coming avalanche, Beyond the Rhine the French power was broken up Hanover was recovered by the allies. Holland proclaimed William l. of Orange Jerome had to abdioate the throne of Westphalia. The small princes of Germany took back their ancient es- tates. Norway went to Sweden. Den mark leagued with Great Britain. The Austrians over ran the Illyrian prov inees. Murat, king of Naples, made treaty with Austria. Only Eugene, vice. roy of Italy. remained loyal ill support of the emperor.
 h the beginning of 1914 was begun the so-oalled Campaign of France Ma poleon everywhere confronted his ene- mics. All the eastern borders were dark ened with the onooming armies of the Coalition. Wellington, who ill the pre- eeding summer had won the great bat tie of Vittoria, was now in command of the allies on the side of Flanders. Napoleon gave the Pope his liberty, and restored him to his States. All the whales and monsters of the Middle Ages l came up from the sea- he threw to this one bait and to that one tub The Austrians under Sohwartzenburg cross ed the Rhine. Butcher also crossed, at Coblentz The Russians came by way of Holland. Bernadotte pressed southward with 100, 900 men.
 The struggle that ensued was with out parallel in history. Napoleon, like King John at Poitiers. warded right and warded left. He fought one battle aft ar another, until both Butcher and Sohwartzenburg were crushed. and Aus tria sued for peace. But the Germanie powers returned to the battle with the powerful support of Russia and Sweden and England; and the French began to reoede. It was now seen that the allied generals had learned from the lion many of his own arts of war.
 Napoleon, with his usual audaoity, plunged into Germany; the allies, in- stead of following him, pressed on to- wards Paris, and the Emperor was obliged to return. Arriving at Fon-
