BLooDIEsT OF BATTLES.
Borodino a Useless Fight Which Didn't
Influence the Worlds History.

Borodino a Useless Fight Which Didn't
Influence the Worlds History.
The battle of Borodino, fought be-
tween the French and the Russians
near Moscow in 1912, was the most
murderous fight, not only Of the last
century, but, perhaps, Of the last 500
years.
The records show that Borodino en-
gagged armies Of from $4,000 to $780,
900 on each side; that there was but
one day Of vigorous fighting; that the
the French, after pouring a most muir
derous cannon fire upon the Russians,
advanced upon the Russians position,
were repeatedly repulsed with terrible
loss, and finally rushed the soldiers
of the czar off their feet and out Of the
vantage ground. The French won, but
lost $4,000 killed on the field and $4,000
wounded. Fifteen thousand Russians
were slain and 10000 wounded. Out
of about 250,OO0 men who made up the
contending armies. $4,000, or "a per
cent-more than one-third, were struck
by bullets, bayonets or swords.
At Waterloo about $4,000 men were
killed or wounded out Of perhaps 2OO,-
900 engaged. At Gettysburg about
100, 900 fought and each army had, ap-
proximately, 5000 killed and $4,000
wounded. In the Wilderness probably
200, 900 men were in action, and the
fight-which lasted a week or more
resulted in a combined loss of about
5000 killed and 10000 wounded.
Borodino, a fight now almost forgot
ten, which had no influence on the his
tory Of the world, and which, so far
as actual results went need not even
have been fought, was the bloodiest OF
modern battles. Napoleon's victory
availed him nothing, for he was burn
ed out Of Moscow, anyway, and the
Russians simply sacrificed men In the
vain attempt at a triumph which. the
SHOWS Of winter soon brought them
anyhow. The most CORY Of battles
was also the most useless, and Is now

THE WAR WITH THE WEEVIL
Department of Agriculture Suggests ,
Plan of Operations.

W. D. Hunter, special agent In
charge Of cotton boil weevil investiga-
tions for the division Of entomology,
department Of agriculture, in a report,
issued recently as an emergency bulle-
| tin, says the work of his division for
several years has demonstrated that
there Is not even remote probability
that the boil weevil will be extermi-
mated" He adds:
Although the very large yields Of
cotton Of former times may no longer
be possible. 1t is nevertheless entirely
feasible to produce cotton at a margin
of profit that will compare favorably
with that involved in the production Of
most Of the staple crops Of the United
States by following what have become
DDS, involving changes and modifca-
lions Of the system Of cotton raising
made necessary by the weevil. They
were originally suggested by a careful
study Of the life history and habits Of
the pest, and naturally any improve
ments that may eventually be made
will be the result Of continuation Of
that study. They have now been test
ed successfully on a large scale by the
division Of entomology, as we'll as by
many planters. during two very unfa-
vorable seasons. OF greatest advan-
tage is the reduction Of the numbers of
the weevils by the destruction Of the
plants in the fall. The advantage thus
gained Is followed up by bending every
effort toward producing an early crop
the following season."
The changes in the cotton raising
system urgently recommended are:
Early planting, with seed from as far
north as possible; thorough cultivation
Of the fields, which influences the con-
slant growth and consequent early ma
turing of the crop; planting the rows
as far apart as feasible, and thorough
thinning out of the plants in the rows;
destruction by ploughing up, wind
rowing and burning Of all the cotton
stalks in the fields as soon as the Wee
wills become so numerous that practi-
cally all the fruit Is being punctured,
thus destroying the very great proper
ton Of weevils developing late in the
autumn, and extensive use Of fertilizers
so as to procure earlier crops.

JUDGE KALUA SAYS
He DRINKS A LITTLE
Hawaiian Who Frankly Admits
Indiscretion Will Not Be Re-
moved from Office.

HONOLULU, March Ex-Governor Carter
has received from Washington the report
of the Department of Justice on the
charges against Judge Kalua, of the sec
ond Circuit Court. The report does not
recommend that he be removed from office
at present, but declares that he should not
be reappointed at the expiration of his
term, which is June 5.
The charges against Judge Kalua in
cluded corruption, intoxication on the
bench. incompetence and improper politi-
cal activity. The report says Judge. Kalua
admits that he at times takes something
TO drink and that he possibly was inds-
Greet while under the influence of liquor on
election day. but that his denials of the
other charges against him are satisfactory.
1t continues as follows: 1T is the general
policy of the government TO permit natives
in our new possessions TO hold office If
they are reasonably fit, and not TO fix too
high a standard by which to test them
or permit local political feeling TO Dust
them
Judge Kalua's answer to this report has
been a personal and sensational attack
upon G.. A Davis, a lawyer. who was late
~ debarred from practice by the Territorial
Supreme Court for alleged unprofessional
conduct, but who was subsequently rein
stated.
Davis left here on the steamer Ventura
on his way TO Washington. where he will
oppose the reappointment TO office of Chief
Justice OF the Supreme Court Frear and
Associate Justice Perry.
